willaful A random story? In THIS book? 😂

I was reminded of Noel Streatfeild's Thursday's Child, in which a baby was found in a basket with “three of everything, all of the very best quality.“ 3d

dabbe Imagine sending our 14.5-year-olds off into the world to make their way. Wowza! I'm loving having a Laura plot-line now! 3d

dabbe @willaful 😂😂😂 3d

mcctrish @dabbe that‘s what I was thinking too and parents itching at the bit because of all the other mouths to feed 3d

mcctrish Also Laura‘s mother saying “… if you‘re no beauty, be thankful you‘re not a freak” 3d

dabbe @mcctrish Gee, Ma, can't we just settle for plain-looking and not opposite sides of the beauty spectrum? 😂 3d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I can‘t stand her mom 🤣 3d

mcctrish @dabbe @BarkingMadRead mom is no screaming hell imo ( that saying probably dates back to Lark Rise) 3d

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 👍🏻!!! 3d

dabbe @mcctrish 😂😂😂 3d

TheAromaofBooks The whole situation with Macaroni felt anticlimactic after he was the villain for most of the book. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks for real! Like he was just a footnote 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo

mcctrish That‘s was so much blather for nothing 2mo

Bookwormjillk This is the kind of chapter that really makes me not like this book. Emily is about to get to the bottom of things but oh wait there‘s music 🙄 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly All the hints about Emily looking like the marchioness! But she couldn‘t exactly have a secret kid, could she?! 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought at first, until they started talking about her face turning black 🤮 so bizarre 2mo

AllDebooks Anyone else losing count of all the Counts? 😅 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead I thought the same thing!!! 2mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks too many counts to count (edited) 2mo

AllDebooks @mcctrish far too many 😅 2mo

mcctrish I think Charlotte did help #theleastshecoulddoafterthelavishmuddle 2y

Ruthiella @mcctrish Agree! A little sad Mr. Beebe wasn‘t on board, but I can also understand his frustration at being used. 2y

See All 12 Comments

mcctrish @Ruthiella his reaction seems over the top to me but I think the main point is George and Lucy are so meant to be ( unlike the fiasco ) they don‘t need approval 2y

dabbe Get over it, Mr. Beebe and Lucy's family! Reach a little more into that 20th century! 🤩🤣🤩 2y

Bookwormjillk I thought that chapter was really sweet. I think Charlotte helped too. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I found the ending unsatisfying 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think Forster skips over stuff I‘d like to know more about and extends stuff I‘d rather get through quickly. 2y

Morr_Books I absolutely loved this book and enjoyed all the comments y'all made throughout. In the last chapter, I thought the dialog with the Italian was a weird way to tell the audience that they were married. Also, I too believe Charlotte helped (aka redeemed herself a bit). 2y

Bklover I would love to have seen a bit more of the in- between part. I loved this book, but it ended so abruptly. And I really can‘t see why everyone‘s so angry about them. If her mother loves her, wouldn‘t she want her happy? Oh, and I like how she mentioned coming in to her money next year, so we don‘t have to picture them poor 😉 2y

Bklover Oh, has anyone read the appendix? Apparently Forster wrote an appendix in 1958 telling what happened “after”. I just read the summary. Didn‘t like it. It said only some versions of the book contained the appendix. 2y

eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover I agree. Just like the missing Rome chapters earlier, we go from denial to poof-they-are-on-their-honeymoon. That said, I did enjoy the book, I just think some more chapters could have been added. 2y

julieclair I don‘t think Charlotte actually helped, but rather chose not to hinder. And I would have liked to have learned more of Charlotte‘s backstory. 2y

The No Plot? No Problem! Novel-Writing Kit | Chris Baty

While looking for something to do at work other than CE for my license (that I desperately need to do but don‘t want to), I found an earlier version of my current WIP. I abandoned it halfway through Nov and thought maybe I‘d blow the dust off it and try to finish it. 🤣🤣🤣 #amwriting #sortof

There's Something about Sweetie | Sandhya Menon

I haven‘t had a whole lot of listening time today, but I made a bit of progress through THERE‘S SOMETHING ABOUT SWEETIE while I dealt with part of the giant bunch of chard my neighbour gave me earlier this evening.

The book‘s still great. I‘m sure the chard‘ll be great, too, but I‘m tired of eating it as chips or tossing it in anywhere I‘d normally use kale. Do any of you have some favourite chard-forward recipes? #audiocooking #sortof

Lindy I like chard cooked with a little soy sauce and garlic. Sauté the stems separately because they take longer. (edited) 5y

effani I like to saute chard with onion and garlic and use that as a burrito filling, along with fresh tomato salsa and rice. (This is a very abridged version of a recipe from the tagged cookbook, which is a favorite in my house)

A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen: Easy Seasonal Dishes for Family and Friends

xicanti @Lindy I like the sound of that. It‘s similar to the seasonings I use with shimeji mushrooms. 5y

xicanti @effani I don‘t eat onions, but I‘m sure I can adapt that! I‘ve also got a ton of tomatoes courtesy of the same neighbour and his extensive garden. 5y

Lindy I remembered having a sweet tart made with chard when I was in Nice. Tourte de blettes. David Leibovitz has a recipe: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/swiss-chard-tart-recipe-tourte-de-blettes/ 5y

xicanti @Lindy this sounds intriguing, and I‘ve got everything except the pine nuts on hand. 5y

mreads Do you like hummus? Uses just the stems https://food52.com/recipes/36752-tara-duggan-s-chard-stalk-hummus 5y

xicanti @mreads I do like hummus! I‘m gonna see if I can find some affordable tahini so I can try that. 5y

What We Lose | Zinzi Clemmons

Post-work #library haul.

Side note- I‘ve always been torn about these stickers that my hometown library uses. I think they turn off a lot of people who might have otherwise checked the book out. On the other hand, it allows me to find all the historical fiction the place has to offer 😝 #bookishpetpeeve #sortof

MarriedtoMrT I‘m pretty torn on stickers, too, for the same reasons you said. 7y
