AllDebooks #backtobed 🤣🤣🤣 1d

mcctrish This. Was. Bonkers. Also does Ann use up all her words describing the scenery and has none left over for the actual stuff? And by stuff I mean papers that get burned and portraits that make you faint 1d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for real though! 1d

Clare-Dragonfly This was such a long chapter but at least stuff happened? Very annoyed that we don‘t get to see what‘s behind the curtain. My money is on a dead body. ☠️ 1d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I would love it if it was a dead body, we need some action. 1d

TheAromaofBooks I literally looked up spoilers to see what was behind the curtain because I couldn't deal with not knowing! 😂 1d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks Omg you know?!? Don‘t tell me. But omg. No. Don‘t tell me. Ahhhhhhh 1d

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I think you just gave me my justification to peek. 🫣 😊😊 1d

Bookwormjillk Finished this chapter at exactly 11:59 pm. You know it‘s a long one when the hashtags extend into the comments. I giggled a bit when Auntie was like”whatever.” 1d

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @Bklover - I have to confess to the fact that I'm a spoiler lover 😂I don't like being stressed when I'm reading so sometimes I just gotta know! 😆 20h

Clare-Dragonfly I was glad to see that Manchon is still around! 20h

Bookwormjillk Macaroni‘s This is Udolpho gives Welcome to Jurassic Park vibes 2d

AllDebooks At last, we get to the mysteries. I switched to audiobook and am more attentive. My eyes were glazing over reading the text, what with the scenery, crying, more crying, pantomime drama/villian. I know so many people who love this gothic classic, that I don't want to bail. Here's hoping Radcliffe #RampsUpTheSpooky 2d

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks I‘m hoping that now, after 18 chapters, we‘ll start getting the good stuff. The veiled portrait seems like a promising start right? 2d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk first she doesn‘t read the papers, now she doesn‘t look at the portrait , this girl is killing me! 2d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I‘m sure she will if she can ever find it again 2d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk 🤞 I hope so. 2d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead she reminds me of Ruth, with all her timid, obedient goodness. Where's your curiosity at girl? #SneakAPeek 2d

mcctrish Am I the only one who wonders if the mystery woman is the one Emily‘s dad had a picture of? Also honestly I feel like there was slightly less crying 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Hooray, something is happening! Other than Emily being mean to Annette. Hoping for a ghost sighting 🤞🏻 @mcctrish Ooh, I bet you‘re right! 2d

peanutnine @mcctrish I thought the same thing! Hopefully she can find the portrait again in that maze of a castle 2d

mcctrish @peanutnine does Emily actually keep anything ? Why did she burn those papers ?! 2d

See All 10 Comments

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie you‘re definitely numb 🤣🤣🤣 4d

mcctrish There was crying @ElizaMarie alone and in company, silent tears and sobs. Truthfully the frustration of this would make me cry BUT just like the boy who cried wolf #toomanytearshavebeenshed #suckitupbuttercup marry a count they said, it will be fun 4d

ElizaMarie Ha! I assumed as much! @mcctrish and @BarkingMadRead —- after reading this chapter I was thinking there was less crying but… maybe I am #ZoningOut during these moments! 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Why on earth does the count even want to marry someone who is so uninterested in marrying him?! And I don‘t understand why she doesn‘t tell him about Valancourt. I was shocked to realize she hadn‘t already told him. 4d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly it‘s hard to get a word out between sobs truthfully 4d

eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly I was wondering about the same thing. The girl is clearly not interested, and it's not like it would be super fun to marry into the Macaroni family 🫤 3d

AllDebooks If only they had editor's in the 18th century. Less crying, more plot. 3d

eeclayton I have no idea what Catherine Morland liked in this book 🤔 4d

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I‘m really hoping it‘s something we haven‘t gotten to yet, because I‘m reallllly wondering how she made it far enough to love it 🤣 4d

Clare-Dragonfly @eeclayton I‘ve been thinking the same thing. Maybe she had an abridged version 😂 4d

eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly That makes sense! Like The Princess Bride, the good parts version! 😂 @BarkingMadRead I certainly hope we'll get to the good parts soon! 4d

peanutnine If I wasn't listening to the audiobook, I would have thrown the book during this chapter. So long and the gaslighting ugh 😵‍💫😤😡🙄😩 2d

Lark Rise to Candleford (Penguin Modern Classics) | Flora Thompson

Ok #hashtagbrigade you have voted and here are the winners! I tried to make sure we are only reading a chapter a day, so a few of the start dates are a little weird, we may be able to play around with it as we go, but here are the winning books! I‘m super excited about this line up!!!
Everyone is welcome! I have a master list that I will use before we start each book, and will only tag you for each book if you reply to each announcement.. ⬇️

BarkingMadRead Just remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read the post until you‘ve read that day‘s chapter! 5d

AllDebooks Great books to look forward to 😊 5d

Ruthiella Awesome! Call wait. 😅 5d

eeclayton Great list! I was absent for most of this year's books, but hopefully I'll be able to join you much more in 2025. 5d

Bookwormjillk Love this list! Thank you! 5d

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead I think I asked to be removed from your master tag list, but it looks like you haven‘t and I‘m glad. Because I‘ve changed my mind, keep me on your list and I‘ll see what I can work into my list. A couple are free on Audible and I‘ve put a library hold on The Bell Jar. But I may decide to read a book all at once rather than a chapter a day. That seems to be less overwhelming. 5d

AnneCecilie I would love to join for some of these 5d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 ohhh I‘m sorry, I probably removed you from the current list instead of the master! 4d

BarkingMadRead @AnneCecilie I‘ll add you to the master list, you‘ll only be tagged before we start each book, unless you ask to be tagged for the book we are currently reading, if that makes sense 🤣 4d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 you should definitely read at whatever pace works best for you! (edited) 4d

AnneCecilie Thank you 😊 that‘s make sense 4d

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead It‘s okay. ❤️ Please make sure I‘m on the master list. And if anyone can remember the product for which the tagline was “It‘s a woman‘s prerogative to change her mind,” it will be appreciated. 4d

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! There are some good ones/ones I've been meaning to read here!! 4d

TheAromaofBooks However, I cannot believe I am already saving things in my Litsy 2025 folder 😑 Where is time going!? 4d

JacqMac There are some good ones on this list. I might have to join in this fun, 4d

BarkingMadRead @JacqMac let me know if you‘d like to be on the master list. I tag everyone on that list once a month, to see if they want to be tagged daily for the next book 4d

BarkingMadRead @AnishaInkspill read them however works best for you! 4d

JacqMac I would love to be on the master list. Thanks! 4d

AllDebooks At least we're picking up pace now. Although I have concerns about Emily's 'free-flowing tears'. Maybe Venice should be on high alert with flood warnings. 🤔 5d

mcctrish The hashtag #nocrying does not apply, as @AllDebooks says ⬆️ the tears were free-flowing #floodwarningsareineffect at two different parts the way things were being described - coming across the army and the revellers outside the window I honest to god thought Valencourt was going to be part of the group 🤣🤣 that would make this a gothic whatever it is 5d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I 💯 thought so too! Ugh I really thought there was no crying, this is what happens when I start the chapter early and finish it in the evening 🤣 5d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead Emily really needs to hydrate 5d

Clare-Dragonfly In case you wondered whether Montoni married Aunt Scumbag for her money, he apparently doesn‘t even like her! 5d

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly If she wasn't such a #scmb, I'd almost feel sorry for her, waiting up for her hubby to come home as he ditches her on their first night at his estate. 😂 5d

Clare-Dragonfly I had a hard time following all the dialogue in this but I got the gist. Specifically that Auntie is a social-climbing moron. 1w

BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1w

Bklover First of all, why does Valencourt keep showing up like a creeper? He always appears from behind a tree or something. Second, Auntie is a scheming witch but at least she‘s interesting- I think she‘s going to be a fun one to hate! 1w

TheBookHippie I had to bail. Just couldn‘t get into it. Too much going on here. 1w

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie totally get it! Do you want me to take you off of the tag list? @Bookwormjillk I just knew it! Yikes! 1w

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead oh don‘t do extra work. 😝 1w

rubyslippersreads @TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I‘ve bailed too. Too many other books calling my name. But leave me on the tag list; I might check in to see how you‘re all doing. 😁 1w

mcctrish Don‘t forget more crying 😭 😭 also getting Cinderella vibes with the remote room and only the dog for a friend 1w

Bklover @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I‘m very concerned about the dog! I can‘t believe that witch stuck her in a teeny tiny room. It‘s just guaranteed to make her cry more! 🙄. And I wonder who feeds the dog and takes him potty, etc. Anyway. @BarkingMadRead V still seems creepy to me. 1w

AnishaInkspill I read this last year and finished with a mixed reaction, where I would read this again though it took me 5 months to read it 1w

Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover Oh, I‘m sure they have servants to do that, just like at home! St Aubert died so terribly poor, Emily can only afford to keep one servant at the house she‘s not even living in! How ever will she manage 😂 1w

Bklover Exactly!!!😂🤣😂 1w

ElizaMarie Ha I am curious how old V is. This will help me decide if he is a #Creeper. Also… now the doggie gets to hear her cry more! 1w

julieclair @ElizaMarie Good question about V‘s age! I always assumed he was in his mid-twenties, but he could certainly be much older. Then he‘d be a #Creeper for sure. 1w

AllDebooks This was very frustrating. Spill the T Radclyffe 😕 1w

mcctrish At present I‘d say the mystery is how anyone reads this 1w

AllDebooks @mcctrish so much repetition!! 1w

mcctrish @AllDebooks every time there is a chance of something happening - nope! We see gypsies, ooo what‘s going to happen? Nothing. Dad holding miniature portrait - nothing, papers to read, burn em and nothing 1w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂 1w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s a lot of words and a lot of crying for nothing 1w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I don‘t mind it when the chapters are short, but sometimes I see 23 minutes in the chapter on my kindle and I want to cry right along with her. A lot of people love this book so hopefully something other than dying parents and crying happens soon. 1w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m reading on serial and when it says the chapter continues to more than one section I too want to cry 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t believe it said she read a bit but won‘t tell us what that bit is!!! So unfair. And auntie… she‘s obnoxious but she‘s not wrong about people who look good not necessarily being good. 1w

Bklover I‘m hoping Auntie spices things up a bit! I do think, though, that Auntie is going to cause more crying and fainting. There has to be some excitement coming soon! 1w

eeclayton @mcctrish same! I would never get through this if it wasn't for the #hashtagbrigade ! 1w

eeclayton I was actually proud of Emily for not saying yes to V right away. But this is about the only positive thing I can say about the story so far. 1w

julieclair So. Much. Crying. I switched to audio and it has helped me to enjoy the story more. (Not sure why…) 1w

Bookwormjillk So much crying. Quick chapter today. 2w

AllDebooks @mcctrish Emily must be so dehydrated 😭 2w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk they crying is a bit easier when it‘s a short chapter 2w

mcctrish @AllDebooks she‘s got to be a husk by now 2w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish for sure. I feel like I‘m bringing bad karma for rolling my eyes at her. I would do the same in real life but it doesn‘t really make for an interesting book. 2w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk same, I‘m talking out loud while I read “let me guess, she starts to cry” 🙄 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Oh yeah, Valancourt, I‘m sure you were sooooo surprised to see Emily there. 🙄 2w

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin great choices! I‘m not adding Anna Karenina, only because it was a buddy read in the last couple years, either with me or someone else, I can‘t remember! 3w

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead no worries (edited) 3w

Ruthiella Looking forward to whatever we end up choosing! 😃 (edited) 3w

TheAromaofBooks The Turn of the Screw, The Maltese Falcon, and The Crime at Black Dudley were on the “Time Magazine Best Mystery Books of All Time“ list that @dabbe posted the other day and that I thought sounded intriguing. 3w

TheAromaofBooks @Ruthiella - I was thinking of listing The Woman in White, too, as it was also on that list 😂 3w

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks #greatminds! 🤎🍁🧡 3w

TheAromaofBooks @dabbe - You have some good ones - some I've never read and some I wouldn't mind rereading!! 3w

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks You're way more on the ball than me; I haven't read ANY! 😂 3w

TheAromaofBooks @dabbe - I'll admit some were so far back in the mists of time that I don't really remember them at all 😂 3w

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I added most of them 🤣 I read Pickwick last summer, and I just finished Pillars in August. Is there another Follett you‘d like to read instead? 3w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead I've not read ANY Follett, so any other one will do.
Maybe for Dickens: OLIVER TWIST, his GHOST STORIES, or LITTLE DORRIT.

Thanks! 🤩😂🤗 3w

Ruthiella @dabbe You‘ve just planned the brigade‘s reading for the next three years. 🤣 3w

dabbe @Ruthiella Once I started, I couldn't stop!!! 🤩😂🤗 3w

julieclair How are we ever going to choose? 3w

Bookwormjillk @dabbe I love the idea of Dickens- adding David Copperfield to the mix since I just read Demon Copperhead. Also One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Color Purple, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Tender Is The Night. Yes I know I posted on the other thread too I just can't stop myself. 3w

Liz_M @LitsyEvents 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk nominations are easy, it‘s the voting that‘s going to be hard 🤣 3w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead yeah and then we have to read them 😂 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk So many fabulous, unread books out there! 😱 3w

Bklover What @dabbe said. Would love to read Follett and Collins. And I‘d love to read One Hundred Years of Solitude (again). I love that book, and it‘s fun to read with others. Voting for all these great suggestions is going to be tough! 3w

Christy | Catherine Marshall

My very old copy for #randomclassics with @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve seen the miniseries as well. I‘m pretty sure I read this at some point, but it was a long time ago!

TheAromaofBooks I love how the font for the title seems to be same no matter what edition it is 😂 3w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks so funny! Such a basic first cover, it‘s nice to see some of the “newer” ones 3w

willaful @TheAromaofBooks It's true! 3w

mabell @BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks oh I remember reading this a couple of times growing up! I don‘t remember much about it now, but definitely enjoyed it then! 3w

Bklover I thought this was Christian fiction. Read it decades ago. I know my mom and I both read it and enjoyed it. 3w

Sace @Bklover I think it is but reading some of the reviews on the StoryGraph I get the impression that some readers have disagreed with the theology of some characters. 2w

dabbe @mcctrish I see bad things ahead with this aunt and uncle. He's already planning on redoing their cozy little home! And boasting about the changes to Emily's dad! #wtf 😳 3w

mcctrish @dabbe the tree clearing concerns me maybe he will die too (edited) 3w

TheAromaofBooks I totally had that glowworm!! 😂 3w

Bookwormjillk Yup I had one! 3w

TheBookHippie My daughter had one! 3w

ElizaMarie OMG #ThatUncle I can't believe he is talking about clearing out the trees! I had a glowworm! It was ridiculous! Why did we have such weird toys as kids!? 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Definitely a creeper! He stole her mom‘s necklace! Funny how this book starts with all these long, lingering descriptions but there‘s still a ton of action packed into the first chapter. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly right? Soooooo much happened! The words on my pages are really small, that chapter felt so long! 3w

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie it was giving me sense and sensibility vibes, leave the trees alone! 3w

CatLass007 Dang! I forgot we were starting this today. But it‘s not too late. What years was the Glow Worm in existence as a toy? Because I don‘t even remember a commercial for it. 3w

jewright I used my glow worm to read under my blankets when I was supposed to be sleeping when I was a kid. 3w

Cupcake12 I had one and loved it so much especially when reading at night 3w

AnishaInkspill 😂 💛 💛 3w

julieclair That aunt and uncle were too awful to be believed. So rude, self-centered and insensitive. And the mom dies already? And the creeper guy? We are totally set up for lots of action ahead. 3w

Bklover @CatLass007 My daughter was born in 1986 and she had a pink glow worm. 3w

CatLass007 @Bklover No, definitely not my generation. I graduated from college in 1985.😂 3w

TieDyeDude My reading for the second half of October has been slow and my library still doesn't have copies of this available. I think the announcement of the new series probably had an effect on availability. I'm going to try to read this in November, since I read Salem's Lot recently. I did see an article about the new show and a hope that they cast a full-figure lead since Carrie is supposed to be heavier. 3w

5feet.of.fury @TieDyeDude I‘m having that issue finding Salem‘s Lot with the new adaptation 😩 3w

See All 13 Comments

5feet.of.fury I liked Carrie, soooooo to the point compared to newer King, still good character studies just shortened. I liked the way the story was kind of bookended. 🩸 3w

BookwormAHN I'm also on a 10 wk wait for Salem's Lot but it is a reread for me. I think I enjoyed Carrie more this go round. This also may be the only King book where he really stays with this story and we don't get everyone on the planet's backstory 😸 3w

Bookwormjillk @BookwormAHN yes! He was a lot more concise in this book! And add me to the list of people having trouble getting a copy of Salem‘s Lot. 3w

Balibee146 This was my first read of Carrie and I was surprised how short it was. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would as exposure to bits of the films meant it didn't hugely appeal to me. I think the writing style with the patchwork of voices /reporting style lifted an otherwise "by the numbers" plot progression. 3w

Balibee146 Oh and I didn't spot any mentions of a character wearing a "sportcoat" in this one. Over the course of reading my first few King novels that kept getting mentioned and it isn't a terminology we use in the UK so I noticed it.... Then got a bit obsessed with it being mentioned often ..... I shall be annoying you all with "Spoartcoat" Spotting as the months go by... Sorry! 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 uh oh now I‘m gonna be on the lookout for sport coats! 3w

Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead you can't unsee them.... I think there's fewer in th later novels.... Maybe we could have a tag for #sportcoatspotting 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 I‘m all about the hashtags! 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 also, check out pics of Stephen king, he wears them a lot 🤣 3w

Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead as I said.... It's a bit of an obsession of mine so.... Many hashtaggings to come. Yeah when I googled "Sport Coat Stephen King" I saw that ??? 3w

bumpinthenight Oh my gosh this came HIGHLY recommended after I fell into House of Leaves and loved it.

I hope you LOVE it and can‘t wait to hear what you think. 3w

rubyslippersreads It‘s hard for me to imagine Drac having (or deserving) a moment of peace. 3w

rubyslippersreads I just looked at the description of the Keanu movie, and I think they borrowed that whole “vampire in search of his lost love” thing from Dark Shadows. Drac didn‘t seem particularly romantic in the novel, just out for blood. 3w
