mcctrish That chapter just went downhill fast 2w
Leftcoastzen I feel for Tully ,where else could you borrow from than your family, yet so often used as manipulation. 1w

Leftcoastzen Forgot to start 🙄😳 3w
mcctrish benumbed arms - this a going to be lovely 3w
Ruthiella The first chapter was a breeze. ❤️ 3w
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! 🤩 3w
Sparklemn “There is a remnant still of last year‘s golden clusters of beehive-ricks rising at intervals beyond the hedgerows…” Such beautiful writing! 3w
Bklover So far so good! 3w
AllDebooks This was a perfect opening, such evocative writing. 3w
Leftcoastzen Very descriptive, I‘m interested. 3w

Ch 26: laughing because this is what came up when I tried to google that game Laura was playing 🤣 #uncletomsvisitors #queerfishindeed #peoplewatchingFTW #thatyounghubbythough #catlady #tomgavegreatadvice #eventohimself #shortchapter #hashtagbrigade

mcctrish Best chapter yet and not the game I pictured or what I ever thought it was called 3mo

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 3mo
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 3mo
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. 3mo
willaful @mcctrish That's what I'm thinking. We have (had?) a large one made with mercury, which of course isn't used anymore! 3mo
willaful So this chapter referenced Villette, which I guess is a call-out to #LiteraryCrew, which is reading it next. :-) 3mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful #hashtagbrigade read Villette a couple years back as well! 3mo
mcctrish @willaful I started Villette today on audio ( I am wondering if I should be reading it ) 3mo
tpixie Reminds me of Puff n Stuff … 3mo
tpixie @willaful fun coinkydink about Villette, just as we are about to read it! Synchronicity 3mo

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

mcctrish So we are just supposed to forgive Valancourt‘s whoring around?! #boyswillbeboys? Just ugh! The Victorian novelist kills women for less 😡 4mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so frustrating! 4mo
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. 4mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk better a loser than being alone #amiright 4mo
Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish You‘d think she would have learned from her aunt that a loser is NOT better than being alone! 4mo
Clare-Dragonfly Raise your hand if you didn‘t know it was Valancourt helping Theresa the moment she said she couldn‘t say who it was 🤛🏻 4mo
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 🤣 4mo
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly you‘d think 🤔 😝 4mo
mcctrish Ooo @BarkingMadRead maybe the creeper was shot saving Val once again 4mo

Bookwormjillk Is the count counting the tears? 5mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 5mo
mcctrish I laughed out loud learning that the Count‘s revenge fantasy was fuelled by intel gleaned from Annette‘s “thoughtless prattle” anyone who can follow her circuitous rambling and concoct a plan deserves to succeed 5mo
mcctrish @AllDebooks so much unnecessary language 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly 😂😂😂 5mo

mcctrish Honest to god I can‘t believe Emily actually managed to get Annette out! So much dithering! Why on earth did she not go find Carlos to start?! Ludicrous lives 🎉because nobody dies. They just cry 5mo

Bookwormjillk 49% through though. #We‘reGettingThere #MaybeSomethingWillHappenSoon 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly Very confusing, is L dead or not? And also is he a good guy or a complete asshole? Because if somebody needs to stay in a room to protect themselves, seems to me the thing to do is leave THEM the key, not take it away and go join the fighting. 5mo
Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly woo 🎉🎉🎉 5mo

BarkingMadRead I‘m traveling this week (again!) to Disneyland! I‘m going to read ahead in the airport but my posts may be weirdly timed depending on the plans for the day 🤣 8mo

Bookwormjillk The people watching is fun. And the overthinking about omelets. 8mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk so much omelette angst 8mo
julieclair Poor Miss Pym arrived late and lost her chance at an omelette. She had to eat macaroni from the staff lunch. Such a shame. 😂 I wonder what Mrs. Kerr will have to eat - she arrived even later than Pym! 😬 8mo
julieclair @BarkingMadRead Have a blast at Disney! 8mo
BarkingMadRead @julieclair thank you!! 8mo
