It‘s a #RandomClassics miracle! I finished Evelina!
I ended up restarting it a couple of weeks ago on a long hike with a different narrator and that made all the difference! I quite enjoyed this and I think I‘ll probably pick up a little print version sometime in the future.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! So exciting!! 😂 I enjoyed this one, but all the dreadful relatives/bickering just gave me secondhand embarrassment too much to really love it haha 1w

#litsylove #litsyloveblitz My oldest letter to respond to is about 3 months back, but I have decided once again to send every LitsyLove member a postcard, so my letter writing will be further delayed. I'm happy with the idea, though, so hopefully this goes smoothly 😜

dabbe Does it have a 🫎 on it? 🤩🤩🤩 4mo

I ended up enjoying this, although I got a bit tired of Evelina‘s worshipful letters to her foster father. She was almost too good (and sometimes too naive) to be true . I also found the twist at the end pretty unbelievable.

I loathed Mme DuVal and the Branghtons. Captain Mirval was a jerk, but sometimes funny. Clement was a creep, and Lord Orville was, like Evelina, almost too good to be true. So I guess they were meant to be together. ⬇️

Deblovestoread What a beautiful edition 💜💚💜 7mo
rubyslippersreads ⬆️ I‘ve always wanted to read this book—thanks to @TheAromaOfBooks for organizing this group read.

Pictured is my mom‘s copy, published in 1904. I love the Hugh Thomson illustrations.

TheAromaofBooks Oh what a fun edition!! Thank you for reading along with me!! I did overall enjoy this one, but definitely found the pacing to be uneven. The sections with Evelina's terrible relatives...!!!!! Way too long 😂 7mo
