BarkingMadReadY‘all. I hope I didn‘t let my life change my view on this book, I tried to stay impartial. Right after my hysterectomy to remove my endometrial cancer, my husband left me for another woman. (Early June) This book was kind of hard for me, so I hope I did it justice as your fearless hashtagging leader!1mo

TheBookHippieThis was a fun scream at the book reread!1mo
BarkingMadRead@TheBookHippie thanks! I‘m past the crying every day stage and into the doing all the shit he never wanted to do stage 🤣1mo
Bookwormjillk@BarkingMadRead you did great! And don't we all view books through what's happening at the time? Thanks for sticking with it. Maybe the next one will be better...oh no, wait. Well, we always have Grapes of Wrath.
I thought that was a satisfying ending. They all lived happily ever after, sort of.1mo
BarkingMadRead@Bookwormjillk I was kind of conflicted about the ending. As frustrated as I was with all of the drama, I wanted to see them together at the end!1mo
Bookwormjillk@BarkingMadRead yeah he kind of wimped out there. But then again I‘m not sure I wanted him to get what he wants.(edited) 1mo
nanuska_153@BarkingMadRead sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time, although if your ex is the kind of person to do that: good riddance! You did great with the buddy read! Sending lots of love 💕1mo
RuthiellaYou did a fantastic job, as always. Thank you for your dedication to the brigade. I know you have had a lot going on personally and I admire your attitude toward moving forward and healing. ❤️1mo
CBeeI didn‘t participate but LOVE your posts and the hashtags always make me laugh. So, in that limited scope, I think you did amazing. Oh, and screw your ex. What an absolute shit thing to do. Thinking of you and sending love 💚💚1mo
lil1inblueYou did a fabulous job! I had a great time re-reading this! (Although the first time was in 8th grade and I remembered very little.) Sending so much love. 💓 Enjoy every single second of doing the things he never wanted to do!1mo
ElizaMarieAs always, you did an amazing job! Thank you for hosting this group! You are an amazing person, and I am sorry you went through what you went through. Your #LitsyFam is here for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also --- I agree@BookWormJillK, I am not sure I wanted Archer to get what he wanted either! Ha!1mo
ChrissyreaditI just saw this- and ultimately suspect you are 1000000000 times better off! what is on your bucket list that YOU want to do? 😘💛🙌1mo
BarkingMadRead@Chrissyreadit brightly colored furniture, a tree up all year round with seasonal ornaments, Ireland, Alaska, line dancing, the list is endless1mo
dabbeAs always, you were BRILLIANT! Thank you for leading us and for sharing what you're going through. I want to hit your ex with a crowbar! Or something to that effect. I hope you embrace some of your bucket list items ASAP: put that tree up! Put color into your home! You do YOU. Sending you 💛💜🧡.1mo
willaful@BarkingMadRead Sounds absolutely awesome and he is not only a complete douchebag but a stupid one!1mo
Clare-DragonflyWow! You did a great job and I wouldn‘t have been at all offended if you‘d decided you couldn‘t handle this book at this time. Sounds like you had a Beaufort, not an Archer.1mo
TheAromaofBooks💕 💕 💕 Thank you for sticking with us even through a hard time!!! What he did is beyond the pale. I admire you for working on focusing on the positives!!1mo
KAO@BarkingMadRead Thank you, thank you, thank you for leading us on through these messy relationships in this book! (I did find the last chapter oddly and surprisingly satisfying.) May our own personal next chapters be filled with MUCH better relationships than these! Thanks again.(edited) 1mo
mcctrishI fell off the list 😢 thank you for everything always, you‘ve had more than enough to deal with personally, I hope we were distracting in a good way. I hope you have recovered well from the surgery and I hope your ex gets some nasty karma1mo
eeclaytonI've just caught up and finished. Thanks for leading us@BarkingMadRead you did amazing as usual ❤️ 1mo
julieclairYou did great leading us! As always. 💙 You‘re an amazing, smart, witty, wonderful person, and we‘re all blessed by your presence here on Litsy. Go embrace your bright, colorful future! I‘d love to see pics of your seasonal trees as the year goes on. 💖4w
BkloverI fell off the list towards the end- I lost this one. I have had some health issues that have me distracted so I have just been reading all the hashtags and comments. I am so so sorry to hear about your ass husband bailing on you. Can‘t imagine who‘d want him after that!!! You take care of yourself right now. He doesn‘t deserve you anyway! We all love you! 💙💙💙4w
