mcctrish So we are just supposed to forgive Valancourt‘s whoring around?! #boyswillbeboys? Just ugh! The Victorian novelist kills women for less 😡 6h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so frustrating! 6h

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. 4h

Bookwormjillk 10 chapters left! 1d

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine #obviously 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is usually the point where I would binge read the end, but I feel like I still wouldn‘t know anything, so why bother 🤣 @Bookwormjillk #hallelujah 1d

TheAromaofBooks I gotta be honest, I freaking love Annette and her complete inability to keep a secret 😂 1d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks without Annette, we wouldn‘t know a damn thing 🤣 1d

Clare-Dragonfly There doesn‘t seem to be much acknowledgement that Annette‘s husband has disappeared! 1d

Clare-Dragonfly Linguistic note: I see that Annette has switched from calling Emily “mamselle” to “madam”! This matches up with something I noted in the book I just finished—in English, Mrs was for a long time just a title of respect for an adult woman of a certain class, even if she wasn‘t married. The Mrs versus Miss for marital status distinction wasn‘t solidified until the mid-19th century. Emily is probably Madam now that she‘s inherited.

mcctrish In the words of me “WTF?!” 2d

Clare-Dragonfly So, just like with Ludo, we get the Count‘s POV when nothing interesting is going on, and then something happens and we don‘t get to know anything about it. 🤨 2d

TheAromaofBooks Someone needs to rewrite this book except with the interesting parts actually IN THE STORY 🙄 2d

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks ha! Perfect! 1d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes! And leaving out 80% of the #verdantverdure . 20h

Clare-Dragonfly Kind of unsatisfying that Emily doesn‘t have to do anything to get her inheritance… 3d

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly right? All that paperwork with Macaroni for nothing. 3d

peanutnine I feel like most everything in this book has been a ton of anticipation and buildup with no satisfying pay out @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk 3d

mcctrish @peanutnine absolutely so many words and nothing happens besides crying, fainting and things that can‘t be talked about 3d

Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine Yup. That‘s why I‘m not expecting any exciting ghost reveal with Ludo. 3d

See All 7 Comments

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish there was some skirt swishing for sure 4d

Clare-Dragonfly The count is so fatherly to Emily! Throwing his buddy Du Pont at her just like her real dad did with Valancourt. 🙄 And pretty condescending to boot. 4d

TheAromaofBooks I just thought it was hilarious that after all the times Ludo locked up Annette in a room, he finally got himself locked up for a change of pace 😂 I'm worried about him, though, because despite his room-locking tendencies, he's actually one of my favorite characters! 3d

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣 so true! I like him too though 3d

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 🙄 1w

Clare-Dragonfly All the hints about Emily looking like the marchioness! But she couldn‘t exactly have a secret kid, could she?! 1w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought at first, until they started talking about her face turning black 🤮 so bizarre 1w

AllDebooks Anyone else losing count of all the Counts? 😅 1w

Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead I thought the same thing!!! 1w

mcctrish @AllDebooks too many counts to count (edited) 6d

Bookwormjillk Blissfully short chapter. I really hope this isn‘t winding up to a Jane Eyre ending. 1w

eeclayton #blessed Good riddance V! 1w

TheAromaofBooks I just want Emily to be able to go back and home and live out her days in peace and solitude, but I think she's going to end up saddled with one of these losers for life 😂 1w

julieclair I‘m proud of her for kicking V to the curb. I didn‘t think she had it in her. 1w

Bklover @julieclair Neither did I! @TheAromaofBooks Don‘t you think she‘d be thrilled to just go home and find Theresa(isn‘t that her name?) and the two of them could hang out and she could write poetry all day! 1w

TheAromaofBooks @Bklover - Yes!! And have a little dog?? (I just realized - what happened to the dog?? Did I miss its tragic end, or it did it just fade out of the story??) 1w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks that poor dog poof 💨 disappears it seems. Abandoned. 1w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I totally forgot about the dog! 🤔 1w

mcctrish What just happened? V admits to the debts he could never repay and that he isn‘t worthy of Emily AND is mad that she doesn‘t want to shackle herself to him?! He questions how long the count has been her friend? Meanwhile E has spent about 32 minutes in his actual company and expects her to marry him after whoring and gambling ? RUN AWAY EMILY 1w

Bklover @mcctrish yes! When I think of all the weeping and fainting over V it makes me want to scream. You are right- she doesn‘t even really know him! 1w

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 1w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bklover #accurate 1w

Bookwormjillk At first I was kind of on V's side because yeah she just met this Count guy. But then he admitted to it all so bye V. And what is the story of the picture? 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly V keeps going “I‘m terrible and it‘s exactly like the Count says” except no one actually lays out what Emily or V is thinking. I‘d put money on V‘s actual actions not being as bad as what Emily thinks. Of course, I don‘t know whether he‘ll actually TELL HER that before they both die of old age! 1w

julieclair If we don‘t find out about the picture, I‘m going to go nuts. I‘m warming up my book-throwing arm… 1w

AllDebooks If this was published now, it would be a novella once a skilled editor got busy with their red pen 2w

peanutnine "God forbid anyone tells a story immediately" ??? so true. And all these hints to what she saw in the letter, just tell us!!! 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Why the HECK can‘t Emily just say “oh that picture? It was my dad‘s.” It‘s not like she has any more information than that! 2w

TheAromaofBooks Oh man, now I just don't know who Emily is going to marry! All her choices are terrible! I'm kind of leaning towards Henri; at least he hasn't been a stalker yet 😂 2w

Bookwormjillk On one hand this chapter was frustrating because of the non-storytelling but on the other hand at least the picture came back up and V is finally here. On to part 4! #WeAreGettingThere 2w

Bklover @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You nailed it! 2w
