AllDebooks These vile people are causing so much more angst. Jog on, ladies 😡 1d

Nicholas Nickleby | Charles Dickens

Does anyone else struggle with finishing a good classic book because you know it is good for you to read it? Why is this taking me forever????? I really liked it in the beginning but went on vacation and now I can't get back into it. Any suggestions from those of you who have read it? Help me, please!!! 😂

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
@Read4Life Thanks for the tag -

1. I keep $20 in my car at all times. Mostly for gas, but lately, it's for ice cream money (there is a seasonal shop opened now that only takes cash).

2. I would say the family is kinda wealthy, and are not about sharing the wealth, but holding it over others. The MC family is poor poor dirt poor and now they are facing their downfall.

#WhereAreYouMonday

Apparently based on Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, I am still with Maggie Tulliver and co. in the mid 19th century reading for #HashtagBrigade . The “real river” is the Trent and it is quite imposing looking. “Floss” sounds so sweet and gentle. But the Trent is known for its dramatic flooding that can even change the course of the river.

KAO While reading this chapter, I felt a bizarre reminder of the rich patriarch of the family visiting the White Lotus resort in the latest season of this show—about how he received news that his fortune had been lost and he didn‘t want to tell his privileged family and about how tortured he was by the sheer anticipation of financial ruin… Yes, I confess having watched the whole series! 4d
BarkingMadRead @kao I just started season 1, I can‘t wait to watch all the seasons! 4d
KAO @BarkingMadRead The show is SO bizarre, but I couldn‘t resist some unique storytelling! 4d
mcctrish Truthfully I can‘t even remember what the suit was for but the fact #tetchytully owed money to so many people I‘m not sure how his plan was ever going to be more than a dream. I haven‘t watched this season of WL yet, it‘s such a bonkers show ❤️❤️❤️ 4d
ElizaMarie Oooo White Lotus! So messed up! It‘s this slow burn to chaos! “Pipper Noooo!!!” 3d
julieclair #tetchytully ‘s “always going to law” and robbing Peter to pay Paul is catching up with him big time. 3d
Clare-Dragonfly It‘s sad and all but I found it hilarious how #tetchytully hates Wakem so much that he had a (possibly literal) stroke on learning that he owes him money! (edited) 3d
KAO @ElizaMarie 😂 “You want to live in Taiwan?! Noooo!” 3d

#period #dramas #classics I Loved this production of Anthony Trollope‘s book. Period dramas can be long winded however, this one flowed nicely from episode to episode. 🥰
