Sir, it‘s called smut. If you were the least bit engaging in any way that was not condescending af, we wouldn‘t need it (probably). Also, since your lot have cut off women from literature for ages now, I think it appropriate to ask who exactly was reading that smut before putting this on record? (*whispers* we all know it was you bro)

I‘m sorry, what? NONE of this makes sense, but men can “seek gratification” (we all know what that means), but women are going to bed early with a short candle after spending hours doing hard labour for zero reason? Or is the short candle a suggestion of alternative treatments only women would know about? Why does this feel like something the Republican Party could spout in a debate any moment now?

GingerAntics “A bit of light astronomy”? Really? “Hey hun, how about we go out and look at the stars in a quiet, private place and see if we can get you in a better mood, eh?” 🤦🏼‍♀️ I‘m sorry, is he secretly and (not so covertly) saying women have options for “gratification” as well? 5mo
kspenmoll This sounds so abusive! The wheel… 4mo

Bro has seriously NEVER been “speculumised,” clearly. There is nothing exciting or “erotic” about it. I‘d say let‘s soeculumise these morons and see how the feel, but I have a nagging little feeling they might enjoy it after all. 😏😉 I‘m beginning to think “Unwell Men” might be a great alternate name for this book. They are the weirdos in this tale.

GingerAntics I feel like #wtf would be a fitting tag for this, as well. 5mo

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella guess after Tess I‘m just waiting for something terrible to happen 14mo
Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Understandable. We were all traumatized by that book, I think! 14mo
TheBookHippie I‘m loving this just catching up. I love her writing so much! After last month this is ZEN! 😂♥️ 14mo
TheBookHippie @Ruthiella I think that‘s why I love it! 14mo
julieclair Harry is a cad! 14mo
Cuilin Harry is a PLAYER!!! 14mo
Graciouswarriorprincess I'm loving the characters in this book but not a clue where it is going! I agree that Harry is a cad/player! 14mo
dabbe I feel like it's a day-in-the-life-of kind of book. It reminds me of GLIMPSES OF THE MOON by Wharton, where every day was like “We got up. We ate breakfast. We shopped and ate lunch. Then we partied. And partied. And partied.“ 🤣 14mo
Ruthiella Also, if any have read Excellent Women, the Rocky Napier that Rowena and Wilmet had a crush on during the war in Italy is Mildred‘s neighbor in that book. 14mo
Cuilin @Ruthiella oh I didn‘t catch that. Fabulous. Loved Excellent Women. 14mo
Aimeesue @Ruthiella Rocky as a Pym Easter egg was so fun! 14mo
Ruthiella @Aimeesue @Cuilin I love those little cameos from other novels. 😃 (edited) 14mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I mean, do you even play tennis #bumblepuppy if your tennis balls aren‘t named 😂😂 1y
mcctrish Also the BEST thing about Cecil is referring to him as Fiasco 1y
Ruthiella Ha ha! Cecil has totally shot himself in the foot by inviting the Emersons instead of the harmless Miss Alans. 1y
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂😂 1y
Morr_Books Maybe I wouldn't have stopped playing tennis if I had named my balls.... which just sounds dirty 🤷‍♀️ 1y

Can I get some proof of this? I mean logical proof. I don‘t think Alison Weir has ever been catholic. Being alive is a reason for guilt, along with eating too much, wanting to have sex with your spouse, thinking you look good in a particular color… I could go on. There is literally NO PROOF for any of this.

ElaineR Is this from an adaptation of Commonwealth? Also is that the rather wonderful Raúl Esparza? #clueless 5y

Here‘s my 20 books for #bookspin February! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks You have a challenging list - I love it! Thanks so much for joining, and I'll make sure to tag you with the chosen number on Sunday!! 😁 5y
ElaineR Only just joined Litsy. What is #bookspin? #clueless 5y
Emilymdxn Hey @elainer I just tried it for the first time today too! It‘s a mini challenge run by @thearomaofbooks where you make a list of 20 books you‘ve been meaning to read, in my case they‘re books that have been sitting on my kindle for years, and then she generates a random number and we all read the book that‘s that number for us. Just a fun way of getting to some books you‘ve been putting off! To join just post your list I think 5y

ElaineR Thanks @Emilymdxn. Sounds fab. If I can get myself organised I may have to join in. Ironically I bought "Howard's End is on the landing: A year of reading from home" to help with this exact problem. A few years later, I still haven't read it lol. #bookspin may be just the solution. Good luck with yours. 5y
Scochrane26 @ElaineR It can take awhile to find all the activities on litsy. I just saw the bookspin yesterday, too. 5y
ElaineR @Scochrane26 that's reassuring. I've no clue what I'm doing lol. I do like this idea though. 5y
Emilymdxn @elainer for sure that‘s okay! It took me months to join in with things when I first started and none of it is compulsory to take part in, I just lurked and saw what was going on for probably like 6 months! If you wanna join in everyone will be super understanding that you‘re new, we all love new ppl 5y
ElaineR @Emilymdxn thanks :-) 5y
Crazeedi @ElaineR you can always check @LitsyHappenings lots of things are posted there, or ask anyone like you just did! And welcome , you will love it here!! 5y
ElaineR @Crazeedi Thanks so much. 5y

#marchintooz #historydoesntrepeat

My current bedtime read with the 7 year old. History doesn‘t repeat or does it? How else can you explain finding a caveman living in the local rubbish dump? Both my kids and I have loved this old classic - I‘m guessing it looks familiar to the UK Littens but very strange to the US ones!

rockpools SOOOO familiar! We must have read it in school several times over - I remember the bottom left and top copies. And possibly a tv series. 7y
Cinfhen Yup! #clueless 🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 7y
Libby1 This book is so good. I grew up in the US so wasn‘t familiar with it, but now that I live in the UK I wanted to acquaint myself with British classics. Enjoy! 7y

KarenUK I loved this when I was little 👍💕 7y
quietlycuriouskate I loved that book! I had the one with the yellow cover. ❤ 7y
xicanti I feel like I read this when I was a small Canadian child, but all I remember is the title. 7y
Centique @xicanti the bit that stuck in my head was building a chimney for the shack out of tin cans and a window out of ham jars. Does that ring any bells? 7y
Centique @Cinfhen I always find that a bit funny. 😋In NZ (and prob Oz) we got most of the UK popular culture and a fair chunk of US stuff growing up - so a lot of both is familiar to us. Sesame Street AND Worzel Gummidge. 😂😂 7y
LeahBergen I remember the top right edition. I grew up with Puffin Books here in Canada. ❤️ 7y
Centique @LeahBergen looks like Canada got both the UK and US influences as well! 7y
Andrew65 A great book! I too remember the tv series @RachelO 7y
