The Woman in White | Wilkie COLLINS
post image
Pickpick

Oh #hashtagbrigade how I loved this
An early work of detective fiction with a gothic vibe that kicks off with an unknown woman dressed completely in white on the run from an asylum. Oh what a wicked web we weave …… so many bizarre over the top characters doing nefarious things ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I laughed and I railed and I held my breath assuming the worst at all times while the good guys tried to triumph.

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 11h
Ruthiella Isn‘t this book AWESOME! 🤩 No other Collins‘ title that I‘ve read this far has quite measured up, but I did also really enjoy The Moonstone and 10h
mcctrish @Ruthiella my husband read Moonstone in uni and really liked it 50m

I read this at school today. Nothing like being blindsided by a story you are reading aloud and wanting to sob but managing a poignant pause and pulling yourself together

TheBookHippie I‘ve done that before. 💙 2d
mcctrish @TheBookHippie bloody thing should come with a warning 2d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish yes. I read this aloud and refugees from Pakistan were listening 😭😭😭😭😭 however the children are use to me tearing up 😅 2d

This follows George through his life, he‘s a likeable child, his uni years are good too. You like George, it‘s a great audio book. Adulthood hits and there is this undercurrent to George, and I am not liking him so much. He isn‘t mean, but he‘s thoughtless. I am raging at my audio book. FFS George, get it together
It‘s well written. I enjoyed it when I wasn‘t raging 😂😂

I really struggled with this one ( a Christmas gift) when I really enjoyed The Guest List previously. I hated everybody so not a lot of desire to read it. But the ending was good so I‘m glad I finished it

#5joysfriday it‘s been a glorious week of nothing much thanks to March Break. 1. I finished Mona and hung her in my bedroom ( a little gallery wall moment is happening) 2. John and I went out to dinner Wednesday to a new place in the ‘hood ( no pics) and breakfast on Thursday to an old place 3. I had a massage, got my haircut and my nails done and walked to a McDonald‘s for a fountain Diet Coke because I could 4. It was 11° C yesterday

AmyG Mona Lisa looks great! 6d
mcctrish so I dragged the lounger onto to the deck to read on ( today it‘s going to 18° ?) 5. So much reading time is happening - on my kindle, audio and print #livingmybestlife laughing out loud with #hashtagbrigade daily makes my life “dead ladies can‘t do crimes” #iykyk ???????? 6d

Just flipping between an audio book, buddy read books and my just for fun book

dabbe I don't see much snow; could spring be around the corner? 💚💚💚 1w
mcctrish @dabbe it‘s still there, I shovelled the snow away from my front steps because my fruit cellar is underneath and I didn‘t want the melting snow to run in and make everything wet. It was absolutely lovely yesterday and Friday will be 17°C. Next week it all goes to hell again with 4th winter 1w
dragondrool Our snow finally is mostly gone. We had around 30 inches last month. While snowblowing my driveway with the first round, my knee blew out on me (torn meniscus). My family had to help with the bulk of clearing those inches. I missed a week of school. Not the best way to get extra reading time, though. 1w

dabbe @mcctrish Holy guacamole, Batman! Hope all is well with the fruit cellar and that next week is not too snow-hellish. We're getting our last winter-weather with rain for the rest of the week; rain is absolutely precious and necessary in this desert. 1w
dabbe @dragondrool Oh, no! Hope you can rest and heal up asap! 🩵💙🩵 1w
mcctrish @dragondrool holy smokes that‘s awful! I hope you aren‘t in pain. Is rest all you need to do? Winter sucks 1w
mcctrish @dabbe rain is precious, enjoy it all 1w
dragondrool @mctrish They won't think about doing an MRI until after 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy because insurance balks. So they send you for PT, and they make an educated guess. And you hope it is right and doesn't get worse in the meantime. I go back to ortho on April 10. Hopefully, I will then get a scan that shows soft tissue. Because there may be some ligament or tendon stuff along with the cartilage, be ir sprain, tear, or strain. 1w
dragondrool It's stupid that you have to treat based on guesses when scans exist. My guess is the physical therapy is at least if not more expensive than the MRI. I'm doing okay. I'm walking on it now, but some days it really hurts from walking on all that concrete at school all day. I did get an xray when I first went in. The bones are fine. 1w
dragondrool Hopefully I can avoid surgery. 1w
dragondrool @dabbe Thanks! It's coming along. Just slow healing. Good thing I've got a very large home library for amusement during healing. That's a good problem to have. 1w
mcctrish @dragondrool school surfaces are brutal. I know we can have waiting times for MRI‘s here - I wonder if swelling plays into it with the MRI and they want it to be reduced so they get a clearer picture ( and insurance wants lower costs too) I hope you mend quickly regardless 7d

Every audio book I‘ve started this year I have bailed on for a variety of reasons. Some haven‘t been great, all have been clawed back by the library but it‘s mainly been more anxiety driven. I want quiet in my brain when I walk, clean, cook. Today I thought I‘d try again since my hold for Orbital is almost over. I‘ve tackled the mountain of ironing and now I‘m tackling Mona

AmyG I love seeing what you build! Please show us when you are done. Mona Lisa? 🙌🏻 (edited) 2w

It‘s 5 pm on Ontario‘s election night. Some might say I‘m self medicating. They‘d be right. Despite making idiotic campaign promises & never following up on them. Selling off green belt land to cronies, slashing health care and education budgets, spending bazillions of tax payer money to break contracts, negotiate deals with foreign investors and driving the province into a hole people will still vote for him because they are ignorant and selfish

kspenmoll ❤️ 3w
TheKidUpstairs I feel you. I live in a very, very Conservative area. It feels so disheartening, especially the complete lack of understanding of what is federal vs provincial politics. The amount of people around here who will vote for another Ford government because they don't like Trudeau, and then say that they don't like Trudeau because of failing healthcare and lockdowns. It makes me want to scream. 3w
mcctrish @TheKidUpstairs I was saying to my husband this is what happens when people don‘t get the paper or watch the news. The just pay attention to reels and sound bites. It took all of my self control today at school to not say “are you stupid ? “ to 2 teachers who went into the voting space to ask if they could vote even though it wasn‘t their riding. We teach this, FFS 3w

TheKidUpstairs I don't know what it's been like where you are, but the whole process has been a mess here. My voting card didn't arrive in the mail until yesterday, so many people didn't get them.

Lots of people got turned away from the early voting because they didn't have a card and only had one piece of ID. 3w

So much fun, what an adrenaline rush this story is

#sundaybuddyread historical fiction about the early days of the movies transitioning to talkies, based on the life of Colleen Moore. I don‘t know why I couldn‘t get into this, I‘m not sure I‘d have finished it without the group. Maybe the movie theme again, maybe the waste and abuse of power? Right at the end the museum curator says she wants to show Doreen‘s movies in another exhibit as a tie in but most of them are gone. The type of film ⬇️

mcctrish used in the early days of silent film basically combusted. Even when people knew this nothing was done to transfer much of the early films in time. This seems like metaphor for the US itself, always onto the next thing, never being reflective, always reinvention, not preservation. 4w

This is touted as a love letter to books and reading so that‘s why I bought it. The story is told from 2 points of view, Erin and James, it was a slow start for me - both of them unhappy with jobs, parents, romance and not feeling too likeable, not bad just down. Slowly the changes start and slowly the light gets in and all the books and notes and new perspectives start. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I read this for an irl book club and it‘s okay. Paige does an ancestry test that she gets free and finds out her dad wasn‘t her dad. Then it‘s two timelines while she tries to figure it out now and what actually happened back in the day. It‘s going to be a good book club as we talk about how everyone feels about choices that were made. Women have had to make hard choices forever

WHAT THE ACTUAL F with that ending?!!!! I‘m exhausted from this roller coaster 🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭

TEArificbooks It seemed out of character for that character to be tricked into channeling and turning venin 1mo
mcctrish @TEArificbooks bringing Jack back from the dead seemed ridiculous but lead the groundwork, however implausible, for venin to be inside the wards. And now what? V kills him or joins him? 1mo

Somehow this was in my Twitter feed today - I have no memory of this in what I‘ve read so far so maybe it‘s a spoiler for the few chapters we have left. This screening app also has Gilmore Girls and Midsummer Murders

willaful I'm sure they made up a ton of stuff to happen, as such series generally do. 1mo
BarkingMadRead Well, none of those names have ever come up 🤣 but she is so vague all the time so it‘s not hard to expand on it 🤣 1mo
Bookwormjillk I haven‘t heard of any of these people so it makes complete sense that they would all be introduced in the last few chapters of the book. 1mo

mcctrish @Ruthiella @willaful I was wondering if I was missing things with my skimming 🤣🤣 1mo
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I am wondering if the show writers go off on similar tangents to Flora and somehow stumbled upon these people 1mo

Warning: be careful where you stop reading at night or your brain will wake you up repeatedly trying to puzzle out what will happen next! Note to self: KEEP READING you will be exhausted regardless and you might as well know what happens

@AmyG you are the BEST! What an absolutely lovely gift to come home to today ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I would totally be up for a Buddy read!!! Let me know what works for you - my email is pmcclure@rogers.com I‘m excited to read this ( I love books about libraries and magical creatures so much)

AmyG I was wondering when you would get this. So happy you did! Right now I have pneumonia….so maybe next month a buddy read as I tend to not read when sick, sadly. Glad youlike everything, my friend!!! 😘 1mo
mcctrish Oh @AmyG I hope you get better soon! Take it easy and I‘m happy to wait ( I‘m devouring the Rebecca Yarros‘ books and then maybe some ACOTAR ) 1mo
AmyG Thank you and Enjoy! 1mo
