Penelope's so done. 😆

dabbe What she had to put up with ... #oytotheultimatevey 😂 2w
dabbe Have you ever read Dorothy Parker's “Penelope“? If not, here it is:
“In the pathway of the sun,
In the footsteps of the breeze,
Where the world and sky are one,
He shall ride the silver seas,
He shall cut the glittering wave.
I shall sit at home, and rock;
Rise, to heed a neighbor's knock;
Brew my tea, and snip my thread;
Bleach the linen for my bed.
They will call him brave.“

Robotswithpersonality @dabbe I hadn't, no. That's beautiful. ♥️ 2w

Pickpick

I was reading my chapter for tomorrow & realized there was only one more so I went ahead and finished. What. An. Ending. So thankful to @BarkingMadRead for leading the #hashtagbrigade and pointing me in the direction of books I probably wouldn‘t pick up on my own & creating a community to share them with. There was so much yelling, swearing, absolute fury from me for some of these characters #bellingshit will not be forgotten #dontthrowthekindle

Cuilin Perfect review!!! 3mo
willaful 😂 I couldn't make it through the Brothers, so I'm glad to have shared in this. 3mo
mcctrish @willaful oh them bros, I can‘t believe I made it through!!! This is the second EG I‘ve read with #hashtagbrigade and I have to say I really do like her ( even if she makes me gnash my teeth ) 3mo

This topic 🔥 “in me brain“ (EA Poe). Center: a copy of the shirt I proudly wore (now passed on to a younger teacher) every single day I introduced a banned book to my students. All of the books above I have proudly and unreservedly taught to my 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th graders. In 2023, the # of banned books has ⬆️ by 65% from 2022. Visit the ALA if you want to get involved. 👊

#LitsyLoveSnailMail @dabbe looks like the us postal service was rough on your letter. But with a special envelope, I still got it 👍 🤪

dabbe I hope you can still read it! #oytotheultimatevey 🩵💙🩵 3mo
LiseWorks @Dabbe, lol, the stuff in the package went all over. The news letter was ok but the little note was pretty damaged. I made out a few lines on that and got the gist of the question I'll answer you In a few days. 3mo

TheBookHippie Omgoodness this mini series 🤣😅🙃 3mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie The scenes between Chamberberlain and Ward ... #hubbahubba! 🔥 3mo
TheLudicReader I loved the book and the mini series so much. I remember thinking Richard Chamberlain was so hot back in the day and the angst! 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🔥🔥🔥🔥 3mo
TheLudicReader I know, right? @TheBookHippie. Angst is my favourite. I rewatched the series about 15 years ago and I can‘t say that I saw Chamberlain in quite the same way, but as a teenager. Hell yes! 3mo
dabbe @TheLudicReader I remember my first thought was, “How naughty!“ Of course, I was a religious freak then, so I was like 😮, yet I couldn't stop reading or watching! 🤩😂🤩 3mo
dabbe @TheLudicReader @TheBookHippie He's now 90 years old! 😱 3mo
TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader College me was 😍🤪🔥 3mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe HOW CAN THIS BE?! 3mo
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk @dabbe I am not okay 👵🏼 3mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie Similar thought: When I showed my juniors the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY, all the girls were like, “Is that Brad Pitt?“ I told them that it was Robert Redford and that Pitt could only wish he was that good-looking. They were all 👀 over him ... until I told them he was in his 80s. 😂 3mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe I just rewatched The Way We Were 😅 3mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie Here's me every time I watch that movie: 😭. Here's me when I even watch a CLIP of this movie: 😭. #babsandbob 🩶🖤🩶 (edited) 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #bareminimum 🤧🤧🤧 Years ago, I was home from college for the weekend and was watching this with my mom. My sister came home from a date, started watching it with us, and then when the pivotal moment came said, “I'm going to be really pissed if these two don't end up together.“ 😂 3mo
Eggs Loved this book! Read it in 1981, my first summer in Tx ❤️❤️ 3mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe right?!?! Oy. 3mo
dabbe @Eggs 🩶🖤🩶 3mo
Eggs @dabbe I first saw Richard Chamberlain on an old tv show in the 1950s - he played Dr Kildare (Dr Dreamy) 3mo
tournevis @Eggs Dr. Kildare! I and every other Quebecker alive back then watched Les oiseaux se cachent pour mourir in 1983, and we all thought he looked dreamy too. My mother read the book, and told me all about it, enough that I never bothered to try. I wonder how different the original is for the French trna 3mo

Cuilin We need to keep an eye on Mr. Bellingham. He‘s not to be trusted. On another note the writing is beautiful, I loved the description of the ball. 4mo
AllDebooks Poor Jenny. I'm getting Helen (Jane Eyre) vibes. 4mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I 💯 agree! @AllDebooks yessss I‘m worried for Jenny! 4mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig Bellingham: OMG Poor people! 4mo
BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig such a jerk! 🙄🙄 4mo
Clare-Dragonfly Eeeee I do not like Bellingham. He has the superficial trappings of a hero but he‘s all about Ruth just because she‘s pretty, when he must know their status in life is too different for any romance! And then he literally calls a poor person‘s house a pigsty! He‘s so thoughtless. 4mo
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Bellingham can not be trusted 4mo
mcctrish Bellingham was half okay when he seemed shook at his supposed betrothed lack of regard for Ruth helping her but is absolutely clueless to how little time Ruth has to herself 🤷🏻‍♀️ like it takes a village for him to have tea, what does he think it takes for actual full time living?! 4mo
currentlyreadinginCO Getting Tess vibes, personally 🙄. Love the writing, though, and I've never read this one before so I'm interested 4mo
KAO @currentlyreadinginCO I agree about Tess vibes! Also already very aware of red flags with Bellingham. 4mo
rubyslippersreads @currentlyreadinginCO Definitely Tess vibes. 4mo
dabbe Your summary today was STUPENDOUS!!! You know, there's a book there re: your witty hashtags. 🤔🤩🤗 4mo
dabbe @currentlyreadinginCO #tessheretoo But I cared about Tess, and now I care about Ruth. Damn. 😂 4mo
rubyslippersreads I have a feeling Mr. Bellingham is as respectful of women as Mr. Wickham. 😏 4mo
currentlyreadinginCO Same 😍😍😭 @dabbe 4mo
Ruthiella @AllDebooks Yes, I‘m afraid Jenny is a goner. I see it coming! 😢 4mo
julieclair Only two chapters in and my heart is already breaking in advance for Ruth. 🥹 4mo
