This was fun and weirdly accurate. Saoirse is the one I relate to most. Disheveled and disappointed with people.

#WhatTheDickens

Spite, the word even sounds malicious.

#WhatTheDickens

There was a some confusion. Apologies for my lack of clarity. Hope this clears it up. ⬆️ Let me know if you have any questions.

The gratuitous cover reveal. This one is from the ‘70‘s, like myself.

#HashTagBrigade @BarkingMadRead

Tagging #BookedInTime and some others but open to all.

⚠️ This book is dark and detailed as it describes a voyage on a coffin ship during “An Gorta Mór”, the Irish Famine. There are mysteries and many moral conflicts. Who‘s in?

Favorite quote so far #readlesmis @TheBookHippie

They‘re turning off the lights.

I hadn‘t heard much about this mystery and feel it‘s somewhat underrated. I really enjoyed part I. What say you?

In February we head out into the wild seas and against all rational advice we search for pirates. 🏴‍☠️
Q1. How is the Tudor times going?
I read Dissolution and loved it. Cromwell made an appearance.
Q2. Do you have a book in mind yet for Pirates?
I‘m bringing a list to the library, Libby.

The game is afoot!! General thoughts and impressions?

(I will be attending a class today so may not have much access to my phone but will check in with discussions later).

I‘m just getting around to some thank you notes and wanted to say thank you @dabbe for this lovely holiday gift. I‘ve had it on my TBR and I‘m really looking forward to reading it. I have a whole Shakespeare shelf and this will be a wonderful addition. Thank you so much not just for this perfect gift but also for your friendship. 🤗 PS the candle smells divine.

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes

#WhatTheDickens Hard Times Buddy Read

Hard Times is the 10th novel by Dickens published in 1854. With themes, including the consequences of unchecked capitalism and the importance of empathy it‘s still relevant today. All are welcome! We will check in mid month and post a discussion question at the end of January.

#BookedInTime #BookedInTimeJanuary25 #BookedInTimeTudors

#WhatTheDickens

This was the first Dickens I had ever read, and I was surprised at how humorous he was. I remember being completely moved at Scrooge‘s transformation. It still gets me. 😢

#WhatTheDickens
I was so tempted to look this up, but I wanted to hear everybody‘s thoughts first.

#WhatTheDickens
My first encounter with a Christmas Carol was reading an excerpt at age 10, the exchange between Scrooge and his nephew. And for weeks afterwards, my friends and I went around saying Bah, Humbug. A few years later, during a storm, I sat by the fireside and read the whole book. I remember thinking how humorous that opening paragraph actually is. Was this your first read?

#WeirdWordWednesday @CBee

Gift searching has me ramfeezled!!! My new favorite word.

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @dabbe

I think I missed something regarding the poison.

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @dabbe

It‘s Sherlock so possibly but so much information was gleaned from one object. Thoughts?

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @dabbe

Interested her hear what other people think of this one. It fell a little flat for me but it may be a me issue. Thoughts?

#WhatTheDickens

For many of us, this is a reread every year. Have you read it this year yet? If you have or if you have not and want to join in a gentle buddy read, with a quick discussion Christmas Eve, December 24th, let me know and I will tag you. This is open to all, but I will tag members.

#BookedInTime
I don‘t care about the controversy surrounding this novel. Was a page or two plagiarized? Writers get inspiration from many sources including real people. Putting those pages aside (which the author literally did, and rewrote them) this novel is beautiful and it deserves all the stars. ⭐️

#BookedInTime

I personally love this time period. So much drama and so much to choose from. Thanks to @rubyslippersreads for suggesting this prompt.

#BookedInTime

I‘m just putting it out there for all to see. I will still do a monthly post. As a reminder, all are welcome to join this very low-key Buddy-read. All genres are included from graphic novels to spy thrillers, horrors and actual history books.

#MiddleGradeMonday @Karisimo

Mr. Tom technically is not William‘s grandfather, but he certainly loves and protects him like he is. Beautiful classic novel.
