Luke-XVX Jeanne Tripplehorn though, good lord !!! 1mo

AllDebooks Lol 🤣 1mo

dabbe @Luke-XVX I think it was Anne Archer, though they both look a LOT alike! 🤩 1mo

Luke-XVX Haha I stand corrected! (Now I remember her from Patriot Games) 1mo

mcctrish Todays chapter could have been the whole book #justsaying 1mo

eeclayton At least now we know what was behind the veil. Even if it was a very WTF kinda explanation. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Right?! 😂 Also, who else was shocked that Laurentini is her first name?! I definitely thought it was a last name. 1mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s the mystery right there 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish The real mystery of Udolpho: Who Are These Udolpho People Who Name Their Kid Laurentini? 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - LITERALLY what I was thinking when I was reading this - this is like a synopsis of all the actually interesting parts of this story that we weren't allowed to know about for some reason 😂 1mo

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks I definitely think it would have been more effective if we had learned what Emily read/saw earlier on and then revealed what it all meant at the end. Explaining it away immediately after revealing the mystery made it so much less shocking as a reader 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @peanutnine - I totally agree!! I think if we knew what Emily did - that there was a half-decayed body in a hidden room - EVERYTHING would have been way creepier than just “something is there“ - and then in the end we get the big reveal about it not being a real body. As it is it was just kind of - it's a body! PSYCH! The end. lol 1mo

Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

B12C7

And indeed, behind this letter there lies a programme and premeditation. It is known to us that two whole days before the execution of his terrible design, the defendant declared that if he did not obtain the money he would kill his father & take the money from under his pillow “if only Ivan has gone away”. Here it was all considered – and what do we see: the whole thing was subsequently executed as if out of a book!

Aimeesue @TheBookHippie I mean, where could he have POSSIBLY gotten the idea from? Looking at you, Fyodor! 10mo

Ruthiella The psychology in this very long speech must be what Freud found so great? 🤔 BTW, I am no longer taking book recommendations from Sigmund. 😆 (edited) 10mo

Doctor Sleep: A Novel | Stephen King

Whew! 49 more miles today and I managed to ride 100 miles total this weekend on my Peloton! I‘ve never done they many before! Everything hurts and I‘m dying, so obviously I need to take a steamy bath with a good book! #losersclub #doctorsleep #almostdone

5feet.of.fury That‘s a TON of miles! What prompted you to do 100? 2y

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury every few months there‘s a peloton challenge called Pelofondo. Everyone does ridiculous amounts of miles during the two days. I usually do 50, because my knees are a mess from arthritis, but I‘ve been determined to hit 100 for awhile now. It finally all clicked into place! I will absolutely never do it again 🤣 2y

5feet.of.fury 🤣 congrats on meeting your goal and congrats on never having to do that again! 2y

Bookwormjillk I loved how she was like yup, I‘ll think about it! See you in two weeks! Then she took off right after him. 2y

Erinsuereads I'm mildly disappointed with the lack of nonsense edits on the photo. 2y

nanuska_153 I find everything John does so oppressive, that little note implying that Jane was about to swear to God that she would marry him...he is so determined that the things that go through his mind are happening in reality that it almost fools Jane into believing it. Keep hounding her with the same question and pretending that she gave a different answer until she is so wore down that just goes with his version of the events UGH I HATE YOU, GO AWAY! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Your hashtags 👌🏻😂 2y

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t stop, it‘s a sickness 🤣🤣 2y

Clare-Dragonfly But also 💩 to St. John continually telling Jane to decide! She‘s already decided, man! She decided no! It‘s very simple ARE YOU STUPID 2y

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t understand where he gets this superiority complex from and why they all think he is this amazing being. He is totally gaslighting them all 2y

i.besteph @Bookwormjillk 😂😂💯 2y

i.besteph Honestly St. John‘s a big baby..there‘s no other way to put it. He should‘ve planned on becoming a hermit. Instead of helping people he‘d just make them run away (like Jane did!) with his big head and spiritual pride. (edited) 2y
