Bookwormjillk @TEArificbooks yes! The first one is in Texas which I already have this year, but I‘m hoping for a new favorite series. 6h

ElizaMarie Momma is one of the worst characters ever!!! She is so obnoxious and self centered. 14h

Ruthiella @ElizaMarie I agree. She is a fantastic “villain”! I love to hate her. 😂 11h

Bookwormjillk I‘m glad Molly is getting a break. Papa‘s line about marrying Cynthia off to whatever guy shows up was funny. 11h

dabbe I adore Harriet and how she looks out for Molly. And it's so refreshing to have Molly taken care of and being pampered for a change. 10h

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk his line about not fussing over which of the lovers showed up made me laugh @dabbe I‘m glad the chapter ended with Molly thinking it wasn‘t half bad being sent to the Towers to convalesce 9h

Clare-Dragonfly Poor Molly, having to miss her best friend‘s wedding! Good thing Lady Harriet has her in hand. And I think we know who‘s going to show up at the Towers soon… 7h

ElizaMarie Mr Gibson is right—- Cynthia needs to be marred off ASAP. She creates too much drama otherwise (edited) 2d

mcctrish @ElizaMarie Mr Henderson better stay on his toes 2d

See All 9 Comments

Clare-Dragonfly Henderson seems like a perfect match for Cynthia. Shallow, pretty, and persistent but not in an asshole way. Now let‘s get them married and out of Molly‘s way! 1d

dabbe @mcctrish @ElizaMarie 🎯😂🎯😂🎯 1d

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Time for both of them to exit stage left! 1d

willaful I'm bummed that I was wrong about Roger but I'm sure he'll get there. Cynthia is so obviously not what he thought her! 1d

rubyslippersreads @willaful Cynthia doesn‘t seem like the best wife for an intrepid explorer who will be on another continent for long periods of time. 🤣 1d

Bookwormjillk Catching up and this was definitely a wait? What? chapter. #whiplash 14h

Bookwormjillk Is she really going to Russia or is that her time period‘s way of threatening to run away from home? Also worried Rog will marry Osborne‘s wife. 3d

AllDebooks Cheerio Cynthia, you won't be missed. Take Mama with you, please? 3d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ugh that occurred to me as well, and I could totally see Roget doing it! 3d

mcctrish @AllDebooks yes, a 2 for 1 deal 👏🏻👏🏻 3d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I was worried for a moment but Roger is remembering Osborne‘s words about Molly so 🤞🏻 3d

Cuilin If Osborne cannot see the good in Molly he doesn‘t deserve her!! 3d

dabbe I think Cynthia and Henderson are PERFECT for each other. Get married, and go gently into that good night. And yes, take mamma with you. Doc Gibson won't miss her one bit. 2d

willaful Maybe it's because this chapter reminded me of An Old-Fashioned Girl, but I have a suspicion Roger has already been thinking of Molly and wants to talk to Cynthia because he needs to make sure she's really going to release him.

I also worry about him marrying Aimee, but I think the story is going to have a happy ending. 🤞 2d

Bklover @dabbe 🩵💙🩵💙⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2d

ElizaMarie I‘m sorry about Rodger and Aime 2d

mcctrish @Lcsmcat it‘s just not fair!!!! 4d

mcctrish These vague illnesses drive me insane 4d

ElizaMarie Molly better not die!!!! Ugh!!!!! 4d

Ruthiella @Lcsmcat 😂😂😂 4d

Ruthiella I do love how Cynthia comes home when she is (finally) made aware. She does genuinely care about Molly. 4d

eeclayton @Ruthiella I noticed that, too. And she's a better nurse than Mrs G. 3d

willaful Cynthia has her flaws but she know better than anyone that being tended by her mother would probably make Molly die from sheer despair. 3d

Bookwormjillk I can‘t figure out if I like Cynthia or not. 3d

dabbe The stress has finally caught up with Molly. Poor thing. 😢 3d

Clare-Dragonfly Oh yes, “Molly‘s worth is discovered” because everyone suddenly has to do without her… I do like that Cynthia rushed home as soon as she learned that Molly was really sick. 3d

Bklover @mcctrish Yes! What‘s wrong with these people and why do they get some unspecified ailment and go to bed for weeks?! 3d

mcctrish @willaful absolutely true 3d

lil1inblue I've been wanting to read this forever - I'm in for the month(ish)! 😍 4d

BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 4d

dabbe I read this a couple of years ago, and fell in L😍VE with Wharton and her writing. I am definitely going to reread! And if any of you have yet to see Scorcese's movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder, oh, are you in for a treat! 🩵💙🩵 4d

Bookwormjillk Squire is coming around but is he planning to kidnap that baby or what? 5d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I have zero trust in him 5d

See All 13 Comments

AllDebooks This was a tough chapter. Poor Aimee 😢 5d

mcctrish Aimee better hang on, that house needs a woman in it 5d

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk he certainly wants the boy but not his mother. Worrying. 5d

Ruthiella The assumption that Aimee will be willing to leave her child is troubling. 4d

julieclair How the Squire can just assume he has a right to keep the child and send its mother packing is beyond me. 4d

dabbe How quickly the squire can also be like, “Oh, look, it's Osborne's mini-me! I'll love him like I never loved Osborne, and we'll just forget about where is mother came from.“ Seriously, the way these people cling to their heritage and family name is infuriating! 4d

willaful @julieclair Horrifyingly, he might. In that time and place, he has everything going for him and she has nothing.

Molly is relying on her father to solve this problem but I bet he's going to let her down yet again. 4d

Lcsmcat @julieclair Legally, in that day and age, children belonged to the Father. It kept many a woman in a miserable marriage to avoid losing her kids. 😔 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Ugh, I‘m seriously disgusted with the squire for his assumption that he can just send Aimee back to France without her baby. 4d

ElizaMarie It just all makas sense to the Squire- a new Osborn. 4d

Wednesday? Drat! It should
be Sunday! Railroad Daddy

I‘m finally all caught up on The Gilded Age & am currently having withdrawals. Sunday can‘t get here fast enough!! 😋😍

JenlovesJT47 @Jari-chan @CBee 😅 all the days run together! Can‘t believe it‘s only Wednesday! 😵‍💫 4d

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue the last few episodes have been some high stakes drama! So good, I‘m addicted ♥️🤗 4d

dabbe Your words remind me how much I love reading books about and during this error. Edith Wharton is my fave. 🩶🖤🩶 4d

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I have never read any of Edith Wharton‘s books although I have a bunch of them. Which one would you recommend reading first? 4d

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Without a doubt, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. The #hashtagbrigade is reading this next month, if you're interested. I'm happily rereading it because it's in my top 5 of all time. We only read a chapter a day. Here's the link for more info: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2885440

P.S. The Martin Scorcese movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder is exquisite as well. 🩵💙🩵 4d

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe ooh yay, I can do a chapter a day! I‘ve been stressing about being behind on all of the buddy reads but that‘s doable. I‘ve already got the book. Thank you! 🤗 4d

kelli7990 I‘ve experienced my mind going blank for haiku writing before. I‘ve worried that I wouldn‘t have any haiku to post but then I end up figuring it out. My mind goes blank when I‘m writing book reviews about books I enjoy but I don‘t struggle with writing book reviews about books I don‘t like. I thought I would have the opposite problem like everyone else online because everyone I follow online has more to say about books they like and don‘t like. 5d
