Little Eve | Catriona Ward

pick

I have been mostly off the grid due to school and a wild weekend moving Con (and three of his friends) to a new place to live this weekend. I wish I had read this book in one or two sittings, I think I would have enjoyed it better. The story of a cult based on a remote Scottish island. Because I read it in fits and starts, I often found it difficult to follow. It wasn‘t the page-turner The Last House on Needless St. Was, but still good.

CBee My goodness, your kitty looks a lot like a cat I used to have - so beautiful 😻 3mo

Bookwormjillk Sweet chapter. I‘m very surprised Ruth and Leonard survived. 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I was shocked! I for sure that Leonard would catch it and die 3mo

IndoorDame I was thinking Ruth might die allowing for a full circle kind of Victorian “justice” and a convenient plot opportunity to reveal Leonard‘s bio father. 3mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame it‘s not over. I‘m still worried about that Victorian justice. 🤦‍♀️ 3mo

IndoorDame @Cuilin I know…🤞🏼Gaskell takes pity on us 3mo

mcctrish @IndoorDame I was surprised too, now I‘m afraid 3mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk RIGHT?! I was prepared!! 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m still worried! Ruth is pale! But I‘m glad Leonard got to hear a bunch of good stuff about his mom. 3mo

AllDebooks @Clare-Dragonfly that was really heartwarming 💕 3mo

rubyslippersreads @IndoorDame I thought that too. 3mo

rubyslippersreads I was worried that Ruth might have to nurse Donne, since he was mentioned. That would have been a terrible penance. 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin 🎯! 3mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads Did anyone read the title of the next chapter?!!! 😤😱😳 3mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe @rubyslippersreads I finished it. I‘m over here like 🤐 3mo

Cuilin @dabbe I couldn‘t help it!! It was right there. 3mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I think we know going into these Victorian novels, we‘re not going to get a happily ever after. 😢 But there‘s always hope. 🤞 3mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #ruhroh! I have a bad feeling ... 😂 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin IKR? 😂 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin Hopefully somebody has a happy ending! 🙏 3mo

Cuilin @dabbe if I have to pick one, let it be Leonard!! 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin 🙌 3mo

willaful Anyone else have a feeling of recognition reading this chapter? Truly, the more people change, the more they remain the same.

julieclair This whole discussion has me feeling very uneasy… 😬 🫣 3mo

IndoorDame For someone who was promised to be super forthcoming with her opinions I found Beatrice pretty cryptic. I think “not Rebecca” is a positive grade from the new SIL, but I definitely wouldn‘t be sure if I were in Jan‘s (super unfashionable) shoes 7mo

Bookwormjillk Frustrating chapter (but in a good way.) Tell us what you know Beatrice! 7mo

julieclair I like Beatrice and hope that she and Jan will become friends. And maybe Beatrice will also answer all of our (uh, I mean Jan‘s) questions! 🤞 7mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig Jan is such a child. I'm surprised she didn't hide under her bed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly I like Beatrice! But I sure wish Jan would have asked her more questions. 7mo

Graciouswarriorprincess @Crinoline_Laphroaig lol! I agree but I like Beatrice. 7mo

willaful LOL at the pic! 7mo

Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

B12C4

The questioning of Katerina Ivanovna began. As soon as she made her appearance there was an unusual stir in the chamber. The ladies seized their lorgnettes and opera-glasses, the men began to show some signs of life, and several stood up in order to see better. Everyone subsequently asserted that Mitya had gone ‘as white as a sheet‘ as soon as she came in.

The Accidental Veterinarian: Tales from a Pet Practice | Philipp Schott

pick

(2019) I've reached a point where animal stories are a comfort genre, and these filled that Rx. I expected a book of odd vet stories, but got a variety, including insights into the business of veterinary practice, pet medical care 101 (including tips on pilling your cat and reading dog poop), and yes odd vet stories. Speaking of which: on the left is a sad boy who chewed his dewclaw off (because dog) so is seeing a vet in the morning.

Jari-chan @swynn Oh no! I hope that after this week everything goes back to normal 🤞 8mo

Bklover She should stress! What a mistake that will be!! 1y

willaful I feel like this can not end well. And I'm worried about Mrs. Moore. 1y

AnnR It seems like both ladies are having mental breakdowns but for different reasons. What a time for it though, especially since Dr. Aziz will certainly get blamed for something as he's #caughtinthemiddle of all this. 1y

dabbe So Aziz gets angry at her so-called-are-you-a-polygamist comment and goes into a cave. She follows in a meandering fashion and also goes into “A“ cave, not “THE“ cave. She's alone perhaps? Where's the guide? #ruhroh all over this chapter's ending. 😱 1y
