Bookwormjillk Run Dobbin run! She‘s only interested in that old picture of George! 8mo

willaful I love it. It's classic romance! 8mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 8mo

TheAromaofBooks I was so MAD with Amelia during this entire chapter! The way she pines after George for years when he was NEVER WORTH IT, ugh. So glad Dobbin finally told her off! 8mo

Cuilin Dobbin wearing the big boy 👖 8mo

mcctrish WTF!!!! This is the bloody worst almost ending of a book EVER!!! I am miming throwing my kindle with extreme agitation 😡 8mo

mcctrish But I am proud of dobbin 8mo

Cuilin Dobbin needs to make a move!! Amelia give him a nudge!! 8mo

Bookwormjillk Kind of a let down to be honest. Come on Dobbin! 8mo

TheAromaofBooks Glad for the update about Jos still being a douche, too 🙄 #leaveyoursistertodoallthework 8mo

willaful I'm seeing 9 more chapters -- are we reading into September? We'd just be able to finish if we did 3 a day.
8mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful we will definitely go over. I will take a poll and see what everyone wants to do 8mo

Cuilin #WhereBeckyGo love that her maid robbed her “trinkets”. Dobbin and Amelia end up together, right? I think Georgy is unfortunately going to be very much like his father. 8mo

AnnR @BarkingMadRead you are definitely not the only one wondering why Dobbin hasn't made an appearance yet. Meanwhile some of the 'Becky' chapters just seem like filler material. 8mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I‘m worried it will be Dobbin and Becky 8mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk I hope not!! 🤨 8mo

willaful @Bookwormjillk Never! We will, as a group, invite a time machine and go whop the author's ass if that happens and force him to change it!

I'm glad Rawdon held firm, except it sucks that he's away from his son. :-( 8mo

Bookwormjillk @willaful it‘s a plan! 8mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk Me too and 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 what the world?! 8mo

TheBookHippie @Ann_Reads I agree with the filler part. 8mo

mcctrish #finallydobbinshowsup #georgyisabrat I wonder if we are clear of Becky? 8mo

dabbe @willaful Good plan; I'm with you! 🤣🤩🤣 8mo

dabbe I hear the words of Queen Latifah in the finale of HAIRSPRAY: “It's time to wrap this mother up!“ Lots of loose ends, but they're starting to (maybe) tie together. 8mo

willaful @mctrish I suspect Becky always turns back up, like a bad penny. Though there was a certain sense of finality about her small annuity.

There's a modern retelling called The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp, maybe we could do a buddy read of that sometime?

The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp

8mo

Ruthiella I think he might be on a boat between India and England? 🤔 8mo

Cuilin Rawden such a caring father, who predicted that? 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin when she crashes and burns it‘s going to be epic 8mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin not me! Never thought he‘d be the only one I like. 8mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk I like him too and now he‘s off to debtors prison. Who will pay his debts? 8mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead Rawden Sr & Jr better stand back or they‘ll be scorched. 8mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin 🤣😵‍💫🤣😵‍💫🤣 We‘re reading that for November #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD Nonfiction November

Cuilin @TheBookHippie well count me in!! I watched the Netflix show and thought it was amazing. 8mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin it‘s a BOTM choice FYI and yes I cannot wait to read it! 8mo

Cuilin @TheBookHippie I usually don‘t like memoirs but Anna fascinates me. 8mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin I love memoirs but Anna fascinates me to no end!! I just am so intrigued! (edited) 8mo

eeclayton Just caught up (busy week), having read about 6 chapters today. I like Vanity Fair, but I must say, 2 chapters of it daily are much more enjoyable than 6! 8mo

mcctrish @TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣 8mo

mcctrish @Cuilin @Bookwormjillk Rawdon is the best! How stupid is it he has to go to debtors prison? Becky spends all the money 😡 8mo

willaful @eeclayton I had to catch up 4 yesterday and thank goodness they were interesting chapters! I was pretty close to just throwing in the towel. 🙄 8mo

Cuilin @mcctrish she better get him out!! 8mo

mcctrish @Cuilin #beckybettercallsaul 8mo

TheAromaofBooks I know charades were a big thing in their day, but I hate it when they show up in old books!!! I've read so many of these ridiculous charades described in agonizing details; it's like listening to someone tell you about a weird dream they had! 😂 8mo

BarkingMadRead Omg @TheAromaofBooks you hit the nail right on the head! 8mo

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks I have the same reaction “immediately no!!” 8mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks “Agonizing“ is the perfect way to describe it! And 🥱! 8mo

dabbe I'm sensing some big thing happening with Lord Steyne and Becky. Isn't he the one who 1. gets rid of Rawdon Jr. by sending him to school? 2. gets rid of Briggs by offering her a job at his country estate?

Now only Rawdon Sr. is left, oh but wait, he's in jail, which leaves Becky completely alone. Not good for one's reputation! 8mo

TheAromaofBooks Like I want to be mad at Amelia, but I feel like she is at least trying to do her best for other people instead of thinking of herself. Her biggest mistake was falling in love with the person she was literally told to fall in love with her entire life, so it's even kind of hard to fault her for that. Osborne Sr gloating about her being poor and broken was absolutely infuriating. 8mo

Cuilin Why would Amelia give up her son, they disowned their own son!! Boggles the mind! As for Georgy he‘s s not bothered with the move, but has he had a change of heart giving money to the little sweep! Where‘s Dobbin??? 8mo

See All 11 Comments

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks Osborne is despicable!! 8mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin THIS!!!! Why????? 8mo

mcctrish Lord Steyne makes me laugh #itoldyouso #bareacrebitches put me back on #teambecky honestly @TheAromaofBooks I don‘t know who I hate more Osborne Sr or Emmy‘s dad ? Maybe Emmy‘s dad, her stupid blind devotion to him and he is actually the root of all her troubles #wherethefuckisdobbin 8mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I have serious anxiety over the fact that Emmy handed over all that money! He‘s going to blow it all! 8mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead Becky needs to come over and teach her some life skills 8mo

Bookwormjillk I feel like Emmy picked her dad over Georgy and I don‘t live that. And I had such high hopes when we were told to expect a vulgar incident. 8mo

dabbe If Georgy 2.0 turns out to be worse than George 1.0, I will really be pissed! And where oh where is the FAIR in all this vanity? 8mo

willaful @dabbe Word!

@Bookwormjillk I half thought Becky was actually going to kill her husband! Did anyone guess the charades? My brain is not at its best and I was clueless. Heheh. Austen joke. 8mo

mcctrish #whereisthefatman? #isdobbinlostatsea? #whatisbeckyactuallydoingwithlordsteyne 🍆🍑? 8mo

dabbe Holy guacamole, Batman! Chapter 47 was the most BORING chapter I have read in a long time. Just so we get that Lord Steyne is a jerk and his son is locked up? We're at the point now where I just want Thakeray to finish the plots on our characters, especially Dobbin and Amelia. Sheesh! 🥱 8mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish there‘s gotta be some hanky panky i would think, otherwise why give her allllll that money?!? 8mo

Cuilin Tom Eaves could write his own gossip column. As for Becky and Styne. Something‘s about to happen there. And the jewelry from Pitt!! 8mo

willaful Poor Lady Jane -- only the second nice character in the book, other than the kids I guess, and she's being screwed over by Becky. On the other hand, #jointheparty. :-\

Anyone else wondering if poor Rawden might not even be the father of his kid? 8mo

AnnR @willaful - I hadn't considered Rawden might not be the father but now that you mention it. Hmmm.... She really is one of the most horribly selfish and manipulative female characters I've encountered in a book. Right up there with Scarlett O'Hara and Undine Spragg in

The Custom of the Country

8mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe yes!!! So boring. I actually listened to it twice and still don‘t know what happened. 8mo

Daisey @dabbe @Bookwormjillk So glad I wasn‘t the only one completely bored by that chapter to the point of not absorbing any information. 8mo

TheAromaofBooks I skimmed most of that chapter. I just kept thinking... how is any of this remotely relevant?! Who are these people??? @dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Daisey 8mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I had to read the Shmoop summary to get the gist of it! 🤣🤣🤣 8mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Exactly! I kept thinking, “Get to Becky, Amelia, Dobbin, somebody I know!“ 🤣🤣🤣 8mo

willaful @TheAromaofBooks Same! I decided to consider myself creating a “good parts version“ like with The Princess Bride. 😂

The Princess Bride: An Illustrated Edition of S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure

8mo

TheAromaofBooks @willaful - I like the way you're thinking! If only I had a kindly grandfather reading me this book and skipping all the boring bits! 😂 8mo

willaful @TheAromaofBooks can you imagine how shocked poor grandpa would be though?! 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @willaful - True, he may be more inclined to skip the interesting bits! 😂 8mo

TheBookHippie #imperplexedatallthenastiness 8mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk ugh! Right?!? She is NOT responsible for her father‘s poor choices! 8mo

dabbe The last we saw Dobbin he was practically running all the way from India to England. Where the heck is he? And it's getting worse seeing how much Amelia vicariously lives through George. This can't end well, can it? 8mo

Cuilin @Dabbe The Sedley‘s money issues always seem to affect Amelia. I feel she‘ll give up George and I agree that can‘t be good? What is Dobbin going to do about it? 8mo

Daisey @dabbe Yes! I kind of hate how this story jumps from character to character when I really want to know more. We went from Dobbin determined to come back to it feeling like time was passing with no more mention of him. Guess I‘ll just have to wait and see, but I‘m definitely nervous about Amelia‘s choices. 8mo

dabbe @Daisey As long as this book is, Thackeray is good at the ol' cliffhangers! 🤩 8mo
