Bookwormjillk Yes 30 minutes tomorrow according to my kindle. Also worried for that dog. 3w

TheBookHippie I had to bail. Just couldn‘t get into it. Too much going on here. 3w

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie totally get it! Do you want me to take you off of the tag list? @Bookwormjillk I just knew it! Yikes! 3w

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead oh don‘t do extra work. 😝 3w

rubyslippersreads @TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I‘ve bailed too. Too many other books calling my name. But leave me on the tag list; I might check in to see how you‘re all doing. 😁 3w

mcctrish Don‘t forget more crying 😭 😭 also getting Cinderella vibes with the remote room and only the dog for a friend 3w

Bklover @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I‘m very concerned about the dog! I can‘t believe that witch stuck her in a teeny tiny room. It‘s just guaranteed to make her cry more! 🙄. And I wonder who feeds the dog and takes him potty, etc. Anyway. @BarkingMadRead V still seems creepy to me. 3w

AnishaInkspill I read this last year and finished with a mixed reaction, where I would read this again though it took me 5 months to read it 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover Oh, I‘m sure they have servants to do that, just like at home! St Aubert died so terribly poor, Emily can only afford to keep one servant at the house she‘s not even living in! How ever will she manage 😂 3w

Bklover Exactly!!!😂🤣😂 3w

ElizaMarie Ha I am curious how old V is. This will help me decide if he is a #Creeper. Also… now the doggie gets to hear her cry more! 3w

julieclair @ElizaMarie Good question about V‘s age! I always assumed he was in his mid-twenties, but he could certainly be much older. Then he‘d be a #Creeper for sure. 3w

AllDebooks This was very frustrating. Spill the T Radclyffe 😕 3w

mcctrish At present I‘d say the mystery is how anyone reads this 3w

AllDebooks @mcctrish so much repetition!! 3w

mcctrish @AllDebooks every time there is a chance of something happening - nope! We see gypsies, ooo what‘s going to happen? Nothing. Dad holding miniature portrait - nothing, papers to read, burn em and nothing 3w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂 3w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s a lot of words and a lot of crying for nothing 3w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I don‘t mind it when the chapters are short, but sometimes I see 23 minutes in the chapter on my kindle and I want to cry right along with her. A lot of people love this book so hopefully something other than dying parents and crying happens soon. 3w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m reading on serial and when it says the chapter continues to more than one section I too want to cry 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t believe it said she read a bit but won‘t tell us what that bit is!!! So unfair. And auntie… she‘s obnoxious but she‘s not wrong about people who look good not necessarily being good. 3w

Bklover I‘m hoping Auntie spices things up a bit! I do think, though, that Auntie is going to cause more crying and fainting. There has to be some excitement coming soon! 3w

eeclayton @mcctrish same! I would never get through this if it wasn't for the #hashtagbrigade ! 3w

eeclayton I was actually proud of Emily for not saying yes to V right away. But this is about the only positive thing I can say about the story so far. 3w

julieclair So. Much. Crying. I switched to audio and it has helped me to enjoy the story more. (Not sure why…) 3w

Cuilin Out of the frying pan into the fire comment was ominous. Ugh this does not bode well!! 14mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk me too!! 14mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin this book is darker than teenage me remembers 🤷🏻‍♀️. 14mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie I feel like a lot of it would go right over a teenager‘s head! 14mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead APPARENTLY it did 😵‍💫😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣… how funny. 14mo

Cuilin @TheBookHippie seriously dark, I think I confused a lot of Hardy‘s work because I don‘t remember being this apprehensive. 14mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin I feel exactly the same way. 14mo

Clare-Dragonfly I really like Mrs. D! She has her priorities straight. Her pets above all 😂 14mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Seriously… they‘re all jealous because they‘ve slept with Alec, but they also think she‘s worse off with him than in a fistfight with them? 😨 14mo

Cuilin @Clare-Dragonfly They know!!!! 🤬 14mo

Chapter 11

The second banquet! I found this passage just heart-bursting sweet. Daired asked Aliza to dance, of course a waltz plays. They share some words and she mentions Wydrick. Daired is not pleased.

That mysterious figure is at the party… watching Aliza. What‘s his deal? Why is he in the shadows, leering at her? What‘s his business with Gwyn‘s dad?

BarkingMadRead #creeper 2y

julieclair I am wondering what the real story is between Wydrick and Daired. And the mysterious figure creeps me out. Might this have anything to do with why the Riders rented the house next door and are sticking around for awhile? Are they trying to keep everyone safe? 2y

Ruthiella I feel like this secret (whatever it turns out to be) is going to influence Gwyn/Charlotte‘s decision to marry. Very interesting departure from the source material. (edited) 2y

CrowCAH @BarkingMadRead totally!!! 😬 I don‘t get good vibes from him. 2y

CrowCAH @julieclair yeah, it‘s quite the story - a dead horse and no rider test, so he‘s a Ranger instead. That could be fairly traumatic. 2y

CrowCAH @Ruthiella yeah, it does seem to be going “off Script” a bit with Gwyn, but she did ask Wynce to dance with her, so there still might be the same marriage proposal later on. 2y

PageShifter I am super curious about the mysterious figure! I laughed at this sentence: “Wynce Curdred slipped into our conversation with the grace and tact of a senile centaur.“ 2y

PageShifter @julieclair Good theory! I just tought he was being a romantic and didn't want to leave yet - hahaha 2y

CrowCAH @PageShifter yes, the author does have some nice turns of phrase that get me to smile. 😁 2y

Ruthiella I wonder if it was Ginevre who took the letters a second time. I thought Madame was more careful and would have retied them perfectly…🤔 Lucy‘s passivity is frustrating, but on the other hand, where would getting mad get her? She has no independent means. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella that‘s a good point, I hadn‘t thought of that! 2y

See All 12 Comments

Bookwormjillk Wow, this chapter was everywhere. Stolen letters, the ghost nun, German lessons with Polly, and now the trap for Ginevre is set. Hopefully something happens tomorrow. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk something good better happen lol #lamechapternames 2y

IndoorDame The whole thing about Paul Emanuel and the letters started giving me St. John Rivers vibes. I really hope this doesn‘t go in that direction! 2y

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame Omg yes! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Why will Lucy never give anyone a straight answer about how horrible Ginevra is?! She‘s fine with answering other questions! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly @IndoorDame Oh my gosh, great point! I think I‘ve been feeling those vibes all along since I keep expecting a proposal from him. Just as long as Lucy says no… 2y

KristiAhlers I can‘t wait for Ginevre to finally get hers. She‘s such a brat! 2y

Bklover Why does MPaul keep showing up and being his annoying self?! @Bookwormjillk I agree! This chapter went too many directions. And I can‘t figure out the nun. Just why?? 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover I feel like we are going to be so disappointed about the nun in the end 🤣 2y

BarkingMadRead @SarahBookInterrupted he‘s the worst!! 2y

CoffeeNBooks Uggh. Wickham is so creepy! 2y

Vansa What struck me was how.....matter of fact the writing about this was. It must have been so difficult for women in service- still is, I'm sure. Should Mrs Hill and Sarah have spoken to Polly and warned her? What do people think? Of course,this wasn't a time when people spoke of sexual abuse- not like my mother ever sat me down and told me anything! 2y

Bklover @Vansa I wondered the same thing. At least she‘d know to try to avoid him. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Vansa I totally agree, it‘s almost like they all knew it could happen and all they could do was try and keep them away from each other. They never said a word to Polly 2y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Susanita And that‘s putting it nicely! 5y

Prairiegirl_reading I don‘t use goodreads as a social site. Just for tracking. Thank goodness! Super creepy!!! 5y

jillrhudy The heck? 😑 5y

TheDaysGoBy I just got a friend request on goodreads, but the person had like no books or anything tied to their account. Don‘t know why some people think everyone will just blindly friend people on various social media sites 5y

MaleficentBookDragon @TheDaysGoBy I got one like that the other day too. No books. 5y

MicheleinPhilly I got one the other day from a girl that had nothing but a URL in her profile. And that URL was along the lines of sexy-pictures-of-me.com. 🙄 Like, this isn‘t a dating OR porno site, sweets. 5y

Crazeedi I'm very careful who I friend on goodreads or anywhere . 5y

Crazeedi @Prairiegirl_reading same with me. I just track books 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheDaysGoBy @MalificentBookDragon Really, they must think we are dumb. Not. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @MicheleinPhilly Ugh. Ridiculous. It‘s everywhere. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Prairiegirl_reading That‘s why I ask “how do I know you?” Because sometimes I don‘t want to know you. :-p 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Crazeedi We all should be. 5y

MicheleinPhilly Yeah, I had to lock down so many aspects of my IG account cause I was getting some weird ass messages from random dudes. I‘m so confused. When did IG become Tinder? Also, I‘m a big ass homo. 😉 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @MicheleinPhilly Seriously. So annoying. I used to have a locked down IG, but I use it to promote my book blog now. So I‘m forever blocking people—all creeper guys. 5y
