We have read of Jane Austen's heroines falling ill from the rain or developing rain-related illnesses, e.g. Jane caught a cold after being sent to Netherfield on horseback by Mrs Bennet in P&P, but the heroes or men don‘t seem to even have #sniffles from the rain! 🤔

Catching up on my photo challenge 😊 #150PnPCoverParty @CrowCAH @LeahBergen

CrowCAH Correct, not only the rain and sniffles, but a twisted ankle too! 7y

LeahBergen I guess women are delicate flowers. 😆😆 7y

readinginthedark This may have been accurate to reality! The men had more exposure on a regular basis to the whims of weather and atmosphere, and therefore hardier constitutions, I imagine. 7y

Heretherebedragons 🌸🌸 Very gothic romance of Ms. Austen. 7y

#Sniffles I know this isn‘t from a book, but I don‘t care! Fight me! I don‘t cry very often, but this episode of Doctor Who makes me cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I know because I‘ve seen me do it. 😭😭😭 It‘s stunning, beautiful, and gut-wrenching.

AshleyHoss820 @sprainedbrain Right!? In the feels, every time!! 7y

AshleyHoss820 @GrilledCheeseSamurai SO. GOOD. 😄 7y

AshleyHoss820 @LeahBergen @SpeculativeFemale Thank you!! 😊😊😊 7y

sprainedbrain @AshleyHoss820 it‘s so bad I cry when I hear that Athlete song start playing. I‘m tearing up a little right now. 😂 7y

AshleyHoss820 @sprainedbrain No joke!! I was just *telling* someone about this episode and I choked up...🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂 7y

KVanRead IT IS!!! 7y

AshleyHoss820 @KVanRead Right!? 😊😊😊 7y

CrowCAH No worries; I cry at the same thing too, even when I know what‘s going to happen! 7y

AshleyHoss820 @CrowCAH I know!! Each time I watch this episode, I think I‘ll be okay, but noooo! 😄 7y

BookBabe Is there a Van Gogh connection? I‘ve never seen the show. 7y

AshleyHoss820 @BookBabe Yes! The Doctor is a time traveler. He and his companion, Amy, go back in time and meet Van Gogh. The Doctor brings Van Gogh to the future to see an exhibit of his and to show him that he truly is important, that he is valued. Tony Curran portrays Van Gogh and he is PHENOMENAL! If you don‘t watch any Doctor Who, I would suggest that episode (S5:E10) and Blink (S3:E10) Keep in mind, the Doctor can regenerate & his face (actor) changes. 😊 7y

BookBabe Wow! I‘m going to have to watch those episodes! 😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y

AshleyHoss820 @BookBabe Yes, do! Especially Vincent and the Doctor...if having your heart ripped out and handed to you is your sort of thing...😂😂😂 7y

Poor Jem suffered from something much more serious than just the #sniffles.

#150PnPCoverParty @CrowCAH @LeahBergen

LeahBergen What was it?? 😮 7y

CrowCAH I enjoyed the original series and have this one on the TBR! 7y

CunningFox I've read the first 3 of Mortal Instruments. I have the 4th and this one, but I have just never gotten around to the rest of her books. 7y

sammisho @CunningFox i really love the world Clare has created. 7y

Fifth Formers of St Clare's | Enid Blyton

I knew someone has to fall sick in one of these books! ? "The next day Violet went down with a very bad cold, and was taken off to the sick-bay by Matron, sniffling and feeling very sorry for herself."

My copy needs to go to the sick-bay, too...

BookishMe MEMORIES!! 😍 😍 7y

batsy @BookishMe 💕 7y

LeahBergen Just look at that well-loved copy! It‘s strange that I never read this series as I loved both Enid Blyton AND boarding school stories. I may have to remedy that! 😆 7y

erzascarletbookgasm I loved these and the Malory Towers! Owned the exact same editions. Had to donate them away 😢‘coz the pages were foxed and they became a habitat for silverfish! 😩 7y

batsy I know @erzascarletbookgasm the fear is real, foxing seems inevitable in our weather and I'm constantly checking the shelves :( 7y

kamoorephoto Omg my favorite series of all time!!! And Malory Towers too. These books led me to ask my parents if I could go to boarding school (we were living in Hong Kong; they said yes to school in England). I love seeing this! 💖 7y

kamoorephoto @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm @BookishMe @LeahBergen Where I went to boarding school: https://g.co/kgs/UxsdmB 7y

batsy @kamoorephoto 😍 Oh wow! That is awesome. I used to dream of boarding schools at 10, 11. Did you have midnight feasts? 😆 7y

kamoorephoto @batsy Yes!!! We used to sneak down in the middle of the night at Christmas to the tree on the stage in Abbott‘s Hall (the grand hall of the school) for the one in Winter term. We‘d take turns at staying awake until the time it was to wake up and go down, via our common room to grab our goodies. It was BIG trouble if we were caught! So many fun things...!!! 😹 7y

kamoorephoto We were split into 4 houses of course: St Patrick‘s (my house - green), St Ethelreda‘s - purple, St Martin‘s - red, and St Mary‘s - blue. And points awarded (and taken away) for things throughout the year and went towards the school‘s House award. It was a big deal to not get into trouble because then everyone‘s pissed off at you (works very much like you read in the books, and a la Hogwarts)... 7y

kamoorephoto PS. It was an all-girl‘s school while I was there, and went co-ed after I left... 7y

batsy That does sound wonderful, thanks for sharing! I'm so amazed that your love for these books got you there. That's very cool! 7y

batsy Sorry forgot to tag you @kamoorephoto 7y

erzascarletbookgasm @kamoorephoto how awesome! Those are times to be cherished! After reading Blyton‘s boarding school series, I secretly wished my parents could send me to one, too! Unfortunately, only in my dreams and I went to an all-girls missionary school instead. 7y

lucylovestoread @erzascarletbookgasm I wanted to go to boarding school as well after reading these! My grandmother, who had been at one, was horrified and gave me a long lecture about all the terrible things about them 😁 7y

batsy @lucyinedinburgh @erzascarletbookgasm Yes! My grandmother had also been to one and told me how lucky I was to be able to come home after a school day 😀 7y

CrowCAH Wow that‘s an old and very loved book! 7y

erzascarletbookgasm @lucyinedinburgh @batsy Mmm, maybe grandmothers know best! 😄 7y

LeahBergen @kamoorephoto Are you kidding me?? That place looks like my childhood DREAM. ❤️ My poor parents were so insulted that I begged to go to boarding school. 😂😂 7y

Centique I have that same copy and dreamt of going to St Clare‘s too! So jealous of your reminiscences @kamoorephoto 😍😍😍 7y

kamoorephoto @LeahBergen @Centique Some of my favorite memories ever are of my time at boarding school...and on the grounds of the Battle of Hastings???!! It was fabulous. The building and grounds were amazing 💓💓💓💓 7y

The Fall of Princes: A Novel | Robert Goolrick

Today‘s #150pnpcoverparty ‘s prompt, #sniffles, made me think of these two novels both set in 1980s NYC. Both have characters addicted to coke 👃 💦and excessive living 🍷 🥃🍸 .

LeahBergen, CrowCAH

LeahBergen 😂😂 Great interpretation! 👏🏻 7y

CrowCAH I agree with @LeahBergen ;a different take on the “snif”fles!!! 7y
