I just realized what this illustration of Splatty has been reminding me of—one of my all-time favorite John Candy SCTV bits, Dr. Tongue‘s Evil 3D House of Pancakes 😂😂😂

Finito! What a book! So many thrills, chills & twists & who would have thought that nuns are really the mob?! Once you are in, just try getting out! We all need a loyal guy like Paulo in our lives-even if you can‘t shut him up, he‘s fun at parties. Ellena was a badass, just like her nun mom & I did get a grudging respect for Prison Vivaldi—although strength under threat of torture is not quite the same as under torture. Where was the torture?!⬇️

DebinHawaii If brought to modern days, Radcliffe would be penning soaps or scripted reality shows. She was ahead of her time! A big MAHALO! to our #ItalianBuddyRead host @jenniferw88 for all of your insights & knowledge! Money well spent!🎓👍I wouldn‘t have pushed myself to finish it without the support of the group& now I‘m inspired to finally finish The Mysteries of Udolpho on Serial Reader!😱Thanks to all who stopped by to read my meme summaries too!😉🤪 (edited) 4y

jenniferw88 😊 I'm glad that you liked it & it's inspired you to finish Mysteries! 4y

KVanRead @DebinHawaii Haha! This is actually from the part where he‘s holding Ellena prisoner and he brings her some food and she freaks out at how ugly his face is. 😱🤪 4y

In a month where my reading mojo has been MIA, this buddy read has been a lifesaver. I loved the chilling gothic vibes, the high drama, the soap operatics, the arch villains and villainesses, the sweeping natural vistas, and the hint of subversive political tension underlying it all. Great thanks to @jenniferw88 for hosting and sharing her scholarship and shout out @DebinHawaii for making me 😂 every day.

What a ride. This book has it all: star-crossed lovers, the nun mafia, the evil mother, the evil monk and loyal servants. There was several of the twists I didn‘t see coming

I can definitely see how Catherine Morland could be influenced after reading some of Radcliffe‘s novel

Thank you for organizing this buddy read @jenniferw88

Thank you for your chapter summaries @DebinHawaii They has me laughing and/ or smiling everyday
