Wideacre: A Novel | 
pickI enjoyed this novel!! I see echoes of Scarlett O‘Hara in the main character (although Scarlett was never such a psychopath as Beatrice of Wideacre), but I have a real soft spot for unlikeable female characters, so it‘s definitely not for everyone. Still, to me it was a classic and enjoyable bodice ripper, best paired with 🍷and your favorite 📳. 😉🤣
Having arranged “accidents” to dispose of both her father and lover, Beatrice The Wicked Slut has set her sights on her brother… and I‘m only on chapter 6, y‘all. I am honestly unsure where else this can possibly go, but looking forward to finding out! 😅
I am out of Audible credits, this entire trilogy is free right now with my membership and it is Springtime in the Rocky Mountains, which means I have a lot of walking to do!! I must say I have rarely giggled so much, this is obviously a novel not to be taken as seriously as some seem to have done. Yes, the main character is a wicked slut…. I love her and I can‘t wait to hear all she gets up to 🤭😂
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Three by Sleeping at Last
Trilogies!
This one. The Wideacre Trilogy by Philippa Gregory is one I have not yet read. I‘m excited to read it as she is definitely a favorite and auto buy author. The first book in this trilogy, Wideacre, is the first book Gregory ever wrote and I‘m excited to see what I think.

Hate this book with a passion. I only finished it because of some misguided loyalty I feel toward Ms. Gregory. #worstreads
#purchased This is Phillipa Gregory's very first book and I have read it and really enjoyed it so I do recommend it. Can't wait to listen to it! @jhod @ms_t
I cannot be trusted at Barnes and Noble!!!! More babies to add to my library😉
panI'm so gutted about this book. I really had high hopes as I usually love a bit of Philippa Gregory. The characters are so unlikeable and the storylines are so far fetched, they're unbelievable. I persevered to the end as I thought that there might be some consolation at the end. Nope. Boo :(
panI am a fan of Philippa Gregory but not this book. The characters are devastatingly unlikeable.
Really, really disliked this one! I absolutely hated the characters.
bailedI don't #dnf books, I muscle through, but there are two which I started and didn't finish. Wideacre I just couldn't bring myself to keep reading it; it was disturbing. David Copperfield was a book I started at the wrong time, but I love Dickens and would like to finish this book. #readjanuary
Only books I own with #dressesoncovers are the Wideacre trilogy. Has anyone read these? #readjanuary
I only could get through about 75 pages before I couldn't take it anymore. The main character behaved towards her brother abominably and I didn't want to suffer through their relationship. The sad thing was I really wanted to like this book, it sounded like a me story. I didn't physically throw this book across the room, but close to it. #photoadaynov16
so-soAn English women with a strong commitment to the land she grew up on with no way of ever owning it due to arcane inheritance law. The lengths she goes to to keep the land include manipulation, deceit, incest and child abandonment. Not a nice women but certainly single minded.
