I did it! 🙌 All 45 hours! This was an extremely thorough biography of Mark Twain. While understanding Twain‘s importance in American literature, I‘m not sure his biography needed to be at this level of detail. Still, it was very well done, & the narrator was excellent.
(I‘m going to be insufferable at my next book club meeting wherein we‘re discussing The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. 😆)

Ruthiella Yahoo ! 👏👏👏 1w

The Gilded Age: a tale of to-day, volume two | Mark Twain

Season three, over?
Say it isn‘t so! Rehab time —
withdrawals imminent.

Well somehow, season 3 of The Gilded Age is over. It was so good! Now we gotta wait 2 years for season 4. 😭

Wednesday? Drat! It should
be Sunday! Railroad Daddy
is calling my name.

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! 😵‍💫 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue the last few episodes have been some high stakes drama! So good, I‘m addicted ♥️🤗 1mo

dabbe Your words remind me how much I love reading books about and during this error. Edith Wharton is my fave. 🩶🖤🩶 1mo

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? 1mo

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. 🩵💙🩵 1mo

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! 🤗 1mo

The Gilded Age: a tale of to-day, volume two | Mark Twain

PSA: if you like period pieces and you haven‘t seen it yet, you MUST watch The Gilded Age on HBO. The costumes are fabulous & the cast is excellent. Mr. George Russell here (Morgan Spector) has been dubbed Railroad Daddy by the fans & it is very fitting!! 🥵😏😆 Lort, that man. 🥵🥵🥵😋

The union may call him
Robber Barron — but we call
him Railroad Daddy. 😉

AnnCrystal Just went and read about this show, looks like a catching soap opera 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🎬🐝💝. 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal it‘s addictive! Season 3 just came out so I‘m doing a rewatch and loving it even more the second time around! ♥️ 2mo

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 that show does look addictive worthy. You mentioned that you live in New York?? It must be wild to see any historical movie based in your city. I know I love it when Los Angeles is featured ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I live in central Florida, close to Disney. I did post yesterday about NYC but I‘ve never been there — although I feel like I‘ve been there a thousand times in books and movies ☺️ I would LOVE to see a historical show set in this area. The closest I‘ve got is Dexter & The Golden Girls 😁 And L.A. is a great city! I lived about an hour away from LAX for 2 years in college. Got to see a couple of Dodgers games. Cali is beautiful. ♥️ 2mo

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 🆒 movies and books allows is to venture anywhere ☺️👌🏼💝💝💝. 2mo

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal The Gilded Age is so good! I‘m also a fan. Did you know that large parts of it are filmed at the mansions in Newport, RI? 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @Amiable the scenery is stunning and the costumes are 🤌🏻. Mrs. Russell‘s dresses are 😍😍😍 — well, all of them really, but hers are the best! ♥️ 2mo

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 I do love George Russell, too. That man can buy a copper mine from me anytime. 😄 (edited) 2mo

Librarybelle Love this show! 2mo

TheBookHippie I adore that show. And OMG George Russell 🔥🔥🔥 2mo

AmyG Love this show. The costumes, the scenery, the drama! Excellent. 2mo

AnnCrystal @Amiable 🆒🤩 those Newport, RI mansions must be pretty ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 2mo

Amiable @AnnCrystal Oh, they are gorgeous! Especially when they‘re all decked out for the holidays. 2mo

AnnCrystal @Amiable 🤩 my favorite! I love seeing the holidays celebrated on my favorite shows. I bet seeing those mansions all decked out is a feast for the eyes 🥳📺💖💖💖. 2mo

dabbe A historical haiku! I love this time period, and now I want to read Edith Wharton again. 🖤🐝💛 2mo

lil1inblue Railroad daddy... I hadn't heard that before, but damn it fits! 🔥 🔥 🔥 2mo

julieclair Ooohhhh…. I haven‘t seen The Gilded Age, but I can tell I will love it!!! 😀 A few posts back, you asked about our favorite time periods to live in, and I think the gilded age would be mine. ⭐️ 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @julieclair it‘s so good!! I decided to do a rewatch so I haven‘t watched the two newest episodes yet and I keep dodging spoilers right and left. 😆 it‘s a great show! ♥️♥️♥️ 1mo

I have a question and I know my Litsy friends will be able to answer it. How do you classify a book on Goodreads when your time runs out on a book from Libby and there are people waiting for it. Do you keep it as currently reading or what? I know Storygraph and Bookmory let you pause a book. My time is running out fast for this book and I'm not even half way through it. Thanks for your help.

Chrissyreadit are you going to go back to it? currently reading…or don‘t worry and just wait until you finish it . 2mo

MonicaLoves2Read @Chrissyreadit I'm going to put it back on hold when my time runs out. It's interesting but such a chunkster. 2mo

PurpleyPumpkin I agree with @Chrissyreadit, I leave it as currently reading until I finish it. 👍🏽 2mo

MonicaLoves2Read @Chrissyreadit @PurpleyPumpkin thank you both, I will do that 2mo
