Leftcoastzen Forgot to start 🙄😳 2d

mcctrish benumbed arms - this a going to be lovely 2d

Ruthiella The first chapter was a breeze. ❤️ 2d

dabbe I think “moist“ was used in different forms more than once! 🤣 I love the setup to a long flashback of what happens at Dorlcote Mill on the Floss River. No dental floss here whatsoever! 🤩 2d

Sparklemn “There is a remnant still of last year‘s golden clusters of beehive-ricks rising at intervals beyond the hedgerows…” Such beautiful writing! 1d

Bklover So far so good! 1d

AllDebooks This was a perfect opening, such evocative writing. 17h

Leftcoastzen Very descriptive, I‘m interested. 14h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m picturing one of those wooden boards with divots in them, and you have to try and roll marbles into the divots 2mo

mcctrish I was thinking more of the game you get in Christmas crackers made of plastic with little silver balls but of course it would be wood in these Lark Rise times 2mo

Bookwormjillk I had that game! That brings back memories of flinging things at my brother. Anyway, good chapter. Love Uncle Tom and the lady with all the cats who thought everyone was out to get her. 2mo

willaful @mcctrish That's what I'm thinking. We have (had?) a large one made with mercury, which of course isn't used anymore! 2mo

willaful So this chapter referenced Villette, which I guess is a call-out to #LiteraryCrew, which is reading it next. :-) 2mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful #hashtagbrigade read Villette a couple years back as well! 2mo

mcctrish @willaful I started Villette today on audio ( I am wondering if I should be reading it ) 2mo

tpixie Reminds me of Puff n Stuff … 2mo

tpixie @willaful fun coinkydink about Villette, just as we are about to read it! Synchronicity 2mo

Bookwormjillk Lol holding the creepy doll up to the window. This chapter reminded me of when certain neighbors turn to our listserve to be cranky about Halloween. According to them the kids never do it right. 3mo

AllDebooks Dolls really creep me out 3mo

mcctrish I love a short chapter, sucks it was ruined by the creepy doll 3mo

TheAromaofBooks I've read about May Day festivities in many old books, but I don't remember ever hearing about a doll before. 3mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I do think the whole point of this book will be we‘re supposed to forgive Val and be happy for Em when she ends up with him. 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was torn between him and the creeper, it could have gone either way I guess 🤣 I also half wonder if it was the creeper that got shot as well 🤣 3mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a great opening line. 12mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I don‘t remember! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I love it! @TheBookHippie oh nooooo 12mo

willaful @Ruthiella I don't remember either but according to this spoiler website. it's okay. (Click at your own risk!) https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/20561?index1=-1&index2=-1 12mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead library has it just need to get it to my branch so I should be able to catch up. Supposed to be in by Friday 😅 12mo

IndoorDame Apparently Manderley is based on a house she saw and fell in love with called Menabilly (you can find stunning photos online) and according to what I‘ve read the dream in this chapter could just as easily foreshadow her actual journey with the house, all of which happened after she wrote and published the book. 12mo

Clare-Dragonfly This is gorgeously written! I haven‘t read this before so it‘s all new to me, and I‘m glad to be finally reading it. 12mo

Graciouswarriorprincess Thanks @BarkingMadRead 😀 12mo

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly Awesome you are reading it for the first time! It‘s a great plot. 12mo

Ruthiella @willaful Thank you! 😊 12mo

Bookwormjillk Woohoo new book! I only have the audio version in my library so I‘m reading it that way. 12mo

dabbe @IndoorDame I read too that she was given a lease by the owner at the time, spent money renovating it, and lived there for 20 years before giving it back to the family. I never knew this, and the last time I read it was in the early 1990s before the Internet. Thank goodness for instant knowledge! 🤩 12mo

dabbe The passage where the narrator talks about the wind coming from the western sea reminded me of Cornwall and the island off of it that is prevalent in AND THEN THERE WERE NONE ... and also P.B. Shelley's “Ode to the West Wind.“ Oh, what a tremendous novel embracing Gothic and Romantic literature from the early 1800s. I'm in heaven! #byebyebadbros 🤩 12mo

julieclair @IndoorDame Thanks for this great info about Menabilly! My husband and I will be touring Cornwall next month. I wonder if it's visible from the road? 12mo

IndoorDame @julieclair oooh, definitely let us know if it is!!! 12mo
