IndoorDame The intro to my copy points out that she is only ever “the second Mrs de Winter” (and it has some very pointed things to say about that 😂) but that‘s quite a mouthful so I think she‘s gonna need a nickname 11mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I totally agree. We have to call her something 🤷🏻‍♀️ poor thing never has a name, although we know it‘s a pretty one and also unique. Super helpful. 11mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead I‘ve often wondered what constitutes a “unique” name for a white woman in England in the 30s 11mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame probably something so chill now 11mo

Ruthiella Her name is Jan Brady, forever doomed to be overshadowed by Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! I mean, Rebecca. 11mo

IndoorDame @Ruthiella 👏👏👏 Sold! call her Jan 🤣 (edited) 11mo

Ruthiella Also, it‘s so awkward when your first date is an attempted murder/suicide! 😱😆 11mo

CatLass007 @Ruthiella You have a wicked sense of humor! I like that in a person. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella 🤣☠️🤣☠️ 11mo

BarkingMadRead Omg @Ruthiella #janbrady FTW 11mo

Bookwormjillk Jan 😂 🏈 11mo

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella Jan is perfect! 11mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I need to find a book about gardens in DDuM books. "The daffodils were in bloom, stirring in the evening breeze, golden heads cupped upon lean stalks, and however many you might pick there would be no thinning of the ranks, they were massed like an army, shoulder to shoulder. On a bank below the lawns, crocuses were planted, golden, pink, and mauve, but by this time they would be past their best, dropping and fading, like pallid snowdrops.⬇️ 11mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig The primrose was more vulgar, a homely pleasant creature who appeared in every cranny like a weed. Too early yet for bluebells, their heads were still hidden beneath last year‘s leaves, but when they came, dwarfing the more humble violet, they choked the very bracken in the woods, and with their color made a challenge to the sky....People who plucked bluebells from the woods were vandals; he had forbidden it at Manderley." 11mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig So many flowers in this Chapter. I highlighted so many. 11mo

Roary47 @Ruthiella I love it! Jan is who I will imagine her to be. Plus we don‘t know her actual age either. Are they on a date showing she‘s older than a child? 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 I get the idea that she‘s an adult, but maybe a bit younger than Max 11mo

Ruthiella @Roary47 I am reading a bit ahead. I think in chapter five it‘s confirmed she is 21. 👍 But Maxim is “old enough to be her father”, so 35 to 40 years old, I imagine. 🤔 11mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, the descriptions are so vivid and wonderful! I can see the flowers so clearly! 11mo

Bookwormjillk These chapters are long but they don‘t feel like it. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree! 11mo

Graciouswarriorprincess @Crinoline_Laphroaig These descriptions are so vivid! 11mo

julieclair I am really appreciating du Maurier‘s beautifully descriptive prose this time around. I don‘t remember noticing it as much the first time I read this. 11mo

ElizaMarie I agree with “Jan“ as her name for now... But wouldn't it be wild if her name is Daphne? I mean, if I were an author, maybe I would name a character after myself and then say how beautiful the name is repeatedly. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s a brilliant point! 11mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Oh, my nose! Oh,my nose! 😂😂😂 11mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk As opposed to our last book! #oy 😂🤗🤩 11mo

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks | Rebecca Skloot

Hoping for some good non-fiction reads. Asking for a campus reading program. Think mostly 18-21 year olds who are coming from very different backgrounds and are sometimes reluctant readers. I wish we could get the tagged book but we don‘t have access to it with enough e-copies so I‘m looking for something else gripping like this! #nonfiction #suggestionsplease

Smrloomis @mrsmarch Thanks for all these! I loved Lab Girl, but I don‘t know the others so I will add them. I only know the tv version of All Creatures Great and Small 😆 so maybe it‘s time to read the book. 6y

mrsmarch @Smrloomis I love JH‘s stories and they‘re nice bite size stories for readers who might be unpracticed. Plus who doesn‘t love animals. 6y

Smrloomis @mrsmarch that sounds good! The students are also mostly from outside the US or Canada so I am hoping to find something with broad appeal. 6y

Smrloomis @BibliOphelia I haven‘t read either of them so thanks for the suggestions. I‘ll have to check them out! 6y

BibliOphelia They are both really compelling stories that read like novels. I wish he‘d write something else in the same vein! 6y

Smrloomis @BibliOphelia that sounds great. Good to know! 👍🏽 6y

BibliOphelia Good luck! 6y
