Welcome to Litsy!

Oops, got too excited and read ahead again! The General unceremoniously throws Catherine out of the house but Henry quickly comes to check up on her and also propose to her. Henry Tilney, the man that you are! I love the glimpse of Catherine back at home, love Mrs. Morland, love Eleanor becoming a Viscountess, love every single bit of Jane's (non)Gothic romp. A+, no notes for this hilarious, witty genre send-up that has so much heart at its core.

A gothic thriller on this hint of summer day? Yes please. I really liked the pacing of this, you keep moving quickly forward. The mystery is interesting, but I felt the characters were far away I didn't feel connected or informed about any of them. Overall it is a pick, a quick read for a classic (1910) it kept my attention but I cannot imagine ever reading it again.

The "Opera Ghost" keeps signing his letters OG which has a whole new meaning 100+ years (and American audience) on
Every time I see it I giggle. Ghost is causing havoc like a real O. G. ?

I have no idea why but I started this book (my first time reading it) and I had a visceral memory of my mom watching this Beauty and the Beast show when I was a kid. The show ran from 1987-90 and I remember it being unhinged. Does anyone else remember this show??

I adore this Reddit user who respects the game so much that they actually have contempt for Isabella, who in their mind should go even harder as a self-serving, social climbing, manipulative grifter. Losing your safety fiancé before securing the rich guy who will actually help you achieve status and wealth? Amateur hour! Anyway, Isabella writes a last-ditch "save me!" letter to Cath who is not buying it one bit and ghosts her former friend. Brava!

Having hubby home cuts into reading time. Finished my two buddy reads and progress was made on my audio and ebook but zero progress on my other 2 print books.

No meme because #TomKitten joined in today to inspect the reading and gave a look which exactly sums up my feelings about the General. The man himself arranges a trip to Woodston to show it off for Catherine but is so domineering that she has no idea what to say, lest she risk his wrath. He also puts down the village, the landscape, and the house itself at every turn and she can't politely contradict him, so really, General, just stfu please. 🙄

Henry is a total mensch about the whole "Catherine suspected his father of murder thing", which is to say he never brings it up, ever, and is also extra kind to her. This guy rules, I swear. Which is something that could never be said about Isabella, who we learn has gone full-out dirtbag and heartlessly dumped James for...Fred Tilney! Its all kinds of awkward and Catherine can't believe Isabella's behavior, but Eleanor and Henry help her process.
