willaful Yeah, back to the lack of narrative. 😂 Joe's story made me very sad, because my daughter is disabled and I worry so much about what will happen when we're gone, especially now. I bet poor Joe's mother was fretted to death about it. 3h

BarkingMadRead @willaful I worked with special needs kids before I retired, and stuff like this makes me crazy. I have zero patience for it 3h

Bookwormjillk So random. I thought it was because I was sleepy and dozing off, but then I went back to read again and nope. Just random. 2h

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I had so much trouble focusing 🤣 2h

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm guessing still no plot? 😆 2h

TheAromaofBooks I've always read about calf's foot jelly in old books as a great delicacy, and I can see why after reading about how time-consuming and complicated it is to make... but I definitely don't want to try it! 😐 2h

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig I feel like we got teased with some plot and then it was snatched away 🤣 2h

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks hard pass 🤣🤣 2h

AllDebooks Some things belong in the past, like that jelly 🫣 2h

Cuilin @AllDebooks the jelly and fox hunting!! 32m

dabbe I gotta admit, I skimmed through this chapter and read like this: the dull green blahblahblah ... the interesting green ... blahblahblah ... fox hunting omg skip ... disgusting jelly omg skip ... blahblahblah reverend and wife then both die + congregation ... blahblahblah done. 😂 now

My January #BookSpinBingo board—with no bingos. I didn‘t realize how close I was until yesterday, but my reading slate is so full right now I probably wouldn‘t have been able to squeeze in that one center square anyway (I‘ve been too free with the library holds lately!). With four read for #AuldLangSpine including my #DoubleSpin, plus #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead, #OokBOokClub and keeping up with the #HashtagBrigade, it was a good reading month!

TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic month!!! 3h

#BookReport

I continued my yearlong reads on the right

I finished Hard Time #WhatTheDickens and Lark Rise to Candleford #Hashtagbrigade.

I continued The Valley of Fear #NoPlaceLikeHolmes and started Rest is Resistance #SheSaid

I continued listening to the tagged

I read An Academic Question

The author event this week was cancelled, so I started Beautyland instead, but so far I‘m not sure what I feel about it

BarbaraJean The sneaking around with Don Juan was SO relatable. There are so many books I've read just because someone told me I shouldn't!! 1d

Bookwormjillk Very relatable chapter for most of us I'm sure. 1d

Cuilin I know I seem to be always asking questions, but has anybody seen Mr. Bates V the Post Office? Because I was screaming “don‘t sign it Laura!!!!“ I liked how she was learning Morse code for telegrams. That‘s pretty cool. 1d

dabbe Miss Lane tried to enforce a banning of a book! Which of course made Laura want to read it. 😂 That's the positive way of looking at people who try to ban books from kids, right? 1d

willaful I enjoyed the detail in this chapter.

A friend of mine moved to Switzerland, where a lot of services are still done by the post office, and he is very much a fan. 1d

KAO Ah! Sneaking a book away to read in bed! That‘s our book-loving girl! 23h

willaful A random story? In THIS book? 😂

I was reminded of Noel Streatfeild's Thursday's Child, in which a baby was found in a basket with “three of everything, all of the very best quality.“ 2d

dabbe Imagine sending our 14.5-year-olds off into the world to make their way. Wowza! I'm loving having a Laura plot-line now! 2d

dabbe @willaful 😂😂😂 2d

mcctrish @dabbe that‘s what I was thinking too and parents itching at the bit because of all the other mouths to feed 2d

mcctrish Also Laura‘s mother saying “… if you‘re no beauty, be thankful you‘re not a freak” 2d

dabbe @mcctrish Gee, Ma, can't we just settle for plain-looking and not opposite sides of the beauty spectrum? 😂 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I can‘t stand her mom 🤣 2d

mcctrish @dabbe @BarkingMadRead mom is no screaming hell imo ( that saying probably dates back to Lark Rise) 2d

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 👍🏻!!! 2d

mcctrish I keep flipping between my kindle and the kindle app on my phone and somehow I‘ve gotten myself a chapter ahead and skipped this one ( I thought “short chapter? What on earth ?” ) now I get it #offtothebigcity 😆 for Laura 3d

TheAromaofBooks End of book two!! Hopefully we get some more Dorcas tales in book three!! 3d

Cuilin Has anyone watched the TV series? Are you planning to watch? @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks 3d

mcctrish @Cuilin where can I watch it? I do love All Creatures Great and Small so I‘d probably love this too (edited) 3d

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I will probably check it out after we are done! 3d

Cuilin @mcctrish I love All Creatures too!!!! Apparently Lark Rise is on Britbox. 3d

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead same. 3d

mcctrish Another reason why I need Britbox @Cuilin 3d

BarkingMadRead It‘s also on Tubi and Prime 3d

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I would love to watch it. Have to see if I can find it somewhere on my clunky old TV.

Edit: after I finish the book of course. (edited) 3d

BarbaraJean @Cuilin I haven‘t watched it, but I‘m planning to once we finish! @mcctrish I need to watch (and read) All Creatures, too! 3d

mcctrish @BarbaraJean ❤️❤️❤️ 3d

TheAromaofBooks @Cuilin - Until we started reading this, I didn't even realize this was a TV series!! But I'm definitely interested in trying it after we finish the book. Now that we're getting into more actual little stories about Laura, I can see better how it would work in TV episode format. 3d

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks I‘m really interested to see how they do it considering everything we‘ve read so far. 3d

AnneCecilie I loved the series, but I watched it on TV when it first was made and have no idea where it would be possible to watch it now @Cuilin @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 3d

Deblovestoread I watched it years ago, too and am looking forward to watching it again when we‘ve finished. I think it‘s available on Prime. 3d

Bookwormjillk Looks like there's a free trial of Brit Box available through Prime. 3d

dabbe Here's a link to all the places you can find it:
https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/lark-rise-to-candleford

And glory be to the shortest chapter so far! Good luck, Laura! 🤩 3d

KAO @dabbe Thanks for the tip on where to watch this! I‘ve never seen it, so it‘s all new to me. 3d

dabbe @KAO Same here! I think I'll have to watch, too! These characters are growing on me! 🤩 3d

willaful An old saying of my husband's father, “teenage boys should be put in a barrel and fed through the bunghole, and at 18 you either let them out or close up the bunghole.“ Might not have been a terrible joke if he hadn't actually treated his sons with such disdain. 🤬

I have some sympathy with Laura's mom... the “fear of falling“ must have been really strong in her position. But people who love babies so much are annoying! 😂

Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class

mcctrish Just no one serve me lamb‘s tail pie and I‘d rather books than babies any day (edited) 4d

Bookwormjillk @willaful I have sympathy for her mom too- but maybe because I have two teenagers in the house. It‘s hard to let‘s our dreams for our kids go. On the other had she‘s kind of mean. I hope I don‘t sound that way 😂 4d
