Daisey I hope to read or more likely listen to this one. I want to work on finishing Tombland first, and I‘m still waiting on the delayed release of the Dickens audio collection I preordered. If they don‘t change it again, it should be available by the time I‘m ready. 1d

Cuilin @Daisey I think the release date is 9/4? I‘m waiting for it too. 1d

CindyMyLifeIsLit I‘m in! 👏👏👏 (edited) 1d

Cuilin @CindyMyLifeIsLit Fabulous. This is a new read for me. 1d

CindyMyLifeIsLit @Cuilin Me as well! I‘ve read several Dickens (and taught a couple), but not this one. Very excited to dive in! 😊 1d

Daisey @Cuilin That sounds right, but I quit paying too much attention to the new date after they changed it like 3 times. I do want to use it for this one! 1d

CSeydel Oh I‘ve been wanting to read this one! I‘m in the middle of Adam Bede right now and I‘d rather finish it first before starting this one. I‘ll see how soon I get through the Eliot - maybe I‘ll be able to start Martin soon enough to catch up to you all 1d

Lcsmcat I‘m in! As much Dickens as I‘ve readI somehow missed this one, so it‘s a new read for me too. 1d

TheBookHippie Oh I‘ve never read this! I‘ll get a copy! In! 1d

Cuilin @CSeydel I‘ve Adam Bede n my TBR. Love Elliott!! Jump in whenever you can. 👍 1d

Cuilin @Lcsmcat I had to do some research on this one. It‘s not a well-known novel of his. 1d

Cuilin @TheBookHippie yay!! 🙌 1d

CSeydel @Lcsmcat Same … I actually checked it out from the library earlier this year because a character in a different book I was reading referenced it, and I had never read it. (I think it may have been Jasper Fforde‘s Tuesday Next?) But I didn‘t manage to get to it then. 1d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin something about classic literature and my brain - it‘s very calming. 1d

Cuilin @TheBookHippie it seems to be the only thing working for me with “gestures around at everything” 1d

BookwormAHN I'm looking forward to it 😺 1d

Cuilin @BookwormAHN same 👍 14h

quietjenn I've but read this one so will try to give it a go! 6h

Cuilin @quietjenn Fabulous. 3h

Diving in today for #whatthedickens. I‘ll probably alternate between these two editions. @Cuilin @Texreader

Little Dorrit | Charles Dickens

I‘ve been reading way too many books at a time that I‘ve let this one linger. So long in fact that I‘ve forgotten who Mrs General was. So I found this great web page:

Susanita I hate when that happens! 2d

Lcsmcat I had to do that for War and Peace. Too many characters to keep straight when reading slowly! 1d

Cuilin I found this Dickens hard to pay attention to. I could blame the fact that I was distracted with other reads but there is something about it that just didn‘t draw me in like others. 1d

#historicalfiction The crimes that take place in this novel are truly horrific resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives. The story is well written and the majority of the investigation is quite gripping. While the book travels along at a reasonable pace and in parts is very exciting there are interludes particularly where family is concerned that the narrative just drags. It is a very good read but I would have preferred a condensed version.

What an amazing coincidence: A parcel of books that was scanned at my local postal sorting office two days ago has not been delivered. I am going to the sorting office tomorrow morning to ask them to search for it. Frustrated I decided to read a bit more of my book which is set in London and yet The Prince of Wales in Abercarn jumped off of the page at me. The sorting office I'm going to tomorrow is on the Prince of Wales estate, Abercarn. S.Wales

#WhatTheDickens @Texreader

A rags to riches story. Has all the usual Dickens themes of social inequality and injustice. This was a little more nuanced as it explored the idea of the corruption of wealth. Honestly not my favourite Dickens but probably a me issue as I was too distracted by other reads to give it the attention it surely deserves.

Texreader Still going, slowly. The first part was meh. Then it got really good. Then the Rich section started and it‘s meh again. Fortunately he still has great zingers in there making it worth the read (I hope). 2w

Cuilin @Texreader definitely worth the read. 2w

BookwormAHN @Texreader Dickens is great with the sarcasm 😸 2w

BookwormAHN I think I enjoyed the first half more than the second half. Also not my favorite but I'm glad I read it. 2w

Cuilin @BookwormAHN Yes I much preferred the first part. 2w

AnneCecilie I enjoyed both parts, showed easy comes easy goes. And how money changes people, but at the same time we‘re all the same 2w

Cuilin @AnneCecilie Money certainly can change people. 2w

@jenlovesjt47 - I'm on season 3, episode 3. Had to share a rough haiku because the change in dynamic between these two is hilarious! 🤣

#haikuhive #haikuaday

JenlovesJT47 Ohh how the turn tables!! 😅😅😅 When I tell you, the scream I scrumpt the first time I saw it when Bannister addresses Ada as head of the house 😍😍😍 3w

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 And then when they print Ada's name as the donor and not Agnes' - I nearly peed laughing during that scene. 🤣😍🤣 3w

JenlovesJT47 Ooh so you‘re just now watching these eps for the first time?! Ohhhh you are in for a treat, season 3 is the best so far imo! Can‘t believe there‘s only one episode left this season 😭 BUT luckily they already got renewed for season 4 🤓 3w
