BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks such a gift 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Really the #sosad #sosad #sosad #partytime tags kind of describe my feelings towards the last few days' chapters 😂 😂 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1mo

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks 😂😂😂 1mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks OMG ... so true!!!! 😂😂😂 1mo

mcctrish I realized at the start of my reading today we are only 43% through this nonsense and I could cry. And then we get a short chapter which I should be thrilled about, except we‘ve been reading for 100 years and nothing but crying has happened except V, after moping around in Emily‘s absence has moved to Paris to become a club kid 🤯 #wherethefuckisthisgoing (edited) 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 this is scarily accurate 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t like the short chapters! I am updating my reading percentage daily in Storygraph and when the percentage stays the same Storygraph thinks I haven‘t read any of this book 🤣 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly So V hung around until his regiment couldn‘t do without him anymore. And since they needed him so badly he… made social connections and started a gambling habit? 🤨 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly boys are dumb and story graph needs to understand that 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

ElizaMarie @MccTrish - YES!!! This book needs to #DOSOMETHING !!! #GOSOMEWHERE !! 1mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly StoryGraph will not like my Serial app micro-aggression reading style 🤣🤣 1mo

mcctrish @ElizaMarie it‘s ridiculous 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish micro-aggression is a good way to read this book 🤣 It isn‘t Storygraph‘s fault, I would be able to use page numbers if I were reading a physical book, but also there‘s *no way* I would read this in hard copy! 1mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly same 1mo

Bookwormjillk I'll admit I had to do audio for this chapter. 2mo

mcctrish This chapter actually worked for me. Auntie makes my head spin with her saying one thing and then taking a 180° 2mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish auntie has things finally getting interesting! 2mo

AllDebooks Finally, something more yhan weeping and walks, walks and weeping! 2mo

Ruthiella @AllDebooks Just wait until she starts spontaneously writing sonnets. (edited) 2mo

AllDebooks @Ruthiella 😅 2mo

CatLass007 Would you please remove me from your tag list for #HashtagBrigade? Everyone is great but I want to cut back on some of my buddy reads. Thanks 😚 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly I had a hard time following all the dialogue in this but I got the gist. Specifically that Auntie is a social-climbing moron. 1mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Can I add “bitch“ to your most excellent comment? As in #socialclimbingmoronbitch ... #scmb for short (which could also read as “scumbag“). 😄 1mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1mo

Bklover First of all, why does Valencourt keep showing up like a creeper? He always appears from behind a tree or something. Second, Auntie is a scheming witch but at least she‘s interesting- I think she‘s going to be a fun one to hate! 1mo

julieclair @Bklover I freely admit I am hating Auntie and enjoying it! As @dabbe says, #scmb . 😂 1mo

dabbe @julieclair YES! #scmb You know, it's better just thinking it as “scum“! 🤩😂🤗 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe Bahahaha, perfect! 😂 1mo

ElizaMarie @bklover! Yes!!! Such a #SneakySneak didn‘t we learn he has good breeding? Why are you such a #WeirdoCreeper !? 1mo

ElizaMarie Also. I am numb to tears and weeping…. 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella guess after Tess I‘m just waiting for something terrible to happen 14mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Understandable. We were all traumatized by that book, I think! 14mo

TheBookHippie I‘m loving this just catching up. I love her writing so much! After last month this is ZEN! 😂♥️ 14mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella I think that‘s why I love it! 14mo

julieclair Harry is a cad! 14mo

Cuilin Harry is a PLAYER!!! 14mo

Graciouswarriorprincess I'm loving the characters in this book but not a clue where it is going! I agree that Harry is a cad/player! 14mo

dabbe I feel like it's a day-in-the-life-of kind of book. It reminds me of GLIMPSES OF THE MOON by Wharton, where every day was like “We got up. We ate breakfast. We shopped and ate lunch. Then we partied. And partied. And partied.“ 🤣 14mo

Ruthiella Also, if any have read Excellent Women, the Rocky Napier that Rowena and Wilmet had a crush on during the war in Italy is Mildred‘s neighbor in that book. 14mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella oh I didn‘t catch that. Fabulous. Loved Excellent Women. 14mo

Aimeesue @Ruthiella Rocky as a Pym Easter egg was so fun! 14mo

Ruthiella @Aimeesue @Cuilin I love those little cameos from other novels. 😃 (edited) 14mo

Bookwormjillk A cat pooped out lace and I did not expect that. 2y

TheBookHippie Whew 😮‍💨 2y

See All 10 Comments

Ruthiella I wonder if Mrs. Jamison had actually even met her sister-in-law prior to this visit? I‘m sure Lady Glenmire was bored stiff with only Mrs. J (and Carlo!) for company at first. 2y

mcctrish What a chapter?! #meangirlsofcranford first they don‘t know what to call Lady G, then they won‘t talk to her at all, then a fortnight passes and an invitation to brooch it up ( what bedazzling was before the bedazzler was invented ) with tea makes it everything okay. But the highlight was as @Bookwormjillk said, the unexpected cat poop lace #cranfordcrazies 2y

Clare-Dragonfly That poor cat 😂 I‘m pretty sure it vomited the lace, if that makes anyone feel any better… 2y

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly not really 🤣 2y

Vansa This has to be one of the best pieces of writing I've read- the absolutely merciless send up of pretensions of class snobbery,its perfectly relevant even today.I died laughing at how indignant they are that Mr.Mulliner is reading the paper before they are!Oh,and the hilarious description of how the narrator is trying to take 2 lumps of sugar surreptitiously,and fails at the attempt! 2y

Vansa Her description of the "Parliament of Cranford" on how to address Lady Glenmire ?? 2y

rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly I hope so. I was quite shocked that Mrs. Gaskell might be hinting that the lace was retrieved by, ahem, another method. 😹 2y

Aimeesue @Bklover same! UGH 2y

CoffeeNBooks @Bklover same! 🤨 2y

ravenlee But why is Celia so awful too? Do she and Rosy share a brain, so if Rosy is using all of the will and stubbornness then Celia has to be a doormat? I mean, I think James is being a jerk, but Celia encouraging it…ugh. Everyone sucks. 2y

Addison_Reads @ravenlee "everyone sucks" describes how I've felt through most of this book. ? 2y

The 2000s Decade in Photos: A New Millennium | Jim Corrigan

A day late here... but here are my photos from the last decade for #MayBeNow #PartyTime

This is the decade I started using Goodreads to track my reading, and Litsy talk to and meet more readers. My niece and nephew both graduated from HS, I chopped off my hair (now it‘s growing longer again), I added in some of the movies and TV shows I was obsessed with. If I take out politics and the larger societal surreal mess, it wasn‘t a bad decade.

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

Cinfhen I‘m loving these collages....and yesssssss to Big Bang Theory 🙌🏻 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great photos! Who‘s that other person?? 🤪 (Oh, it‘s me ... making a cameo.) 💕 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes it is! Go you! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Go us! That was a fun night! 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes, that was The Color of Law, such a great book....it‘s so weird thinking about how packed it was that night now. I saw they are posting their author events online now...it‘s a shame because I know they were planning on having Madeline Miller sometime this year and I world have loved to see her in person. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa They are doing events on Crowdcast. Madeleine Miller was on a couple of weeks ago. I think there‘s probably a replay! Found it - https://www.crowdcast.io/e/circe (edited) 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage It was online and I STILL Missed it 🤣 I‘ve even been checking their emails regularly to see who was coming up each month. I‘ll see if I can find it online, still disappointed I couldn‘t get my book signed in person though. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Frustrating! I follow them on FB but you can also set up a Crowdcast account so you get notifications. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I will definitely work on that tomorrow, I should be catching tons of author events while everything is more open and online, but somehow I‘ve been less engaged there. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Another good one happening over the next few weeks is the Gaithersburg MD Book Festival. That‘s on YouTube. 5y

Walt Disney's Goofy: the good sport | Flora O'Brien

#MayBeNow #partytime @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB
My 2010‘s have been mostly about chasing my tail after these two yahoos, lots of trips to Disney and Chicago - two of our favorites, watching the Cubs finally win the World Series, running (and walking) many 5k, forging countless relationships on social media with like minded people who knit, run or read - people that I struggle to find IRL because...I‘m a happy introvert 😂

Cinfhen Fabulous photo and who needs more ?? #TrulyBlessed ♥️ 5y

peaKnit @Cinfhen AMEN 😊 I feel like I have an overflowing cup honestly, I keep IRL friends balanced at a small number so I can try to be better with those I enjoy rather than spreading out thin among too many I don‘t. (edited) 5y

JaclynW I agree with @Cinfhen ! 5y

The Last Decade | Becky Allen Martin

#MayBeNow #PartyTime | The 2010s were quite a whirlwind!

2010 - moved to Wisconsin 🧀
2012 - had our first son 🍼
2013 - moved to Utah ⛰
2014 - had our second son 🍼
2015 - moved to Tennessee 🪕 and made a permanent (I think) home

PS. I miss my super short hair.

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB The short hair is cool but I like the long hair too 😍 5y

britt_brooke @squirrelbrain Thank you! 💚 5y

britt_brooke @TheLibrarian Thanks! 🥰 I love your hair! I was always bad about getting it cut often enough, but I loved it. 5y

britt_brooke @Cathythoughts Thanks! 💚 5y

britt_brooke @TrishB Thank you! 💚 5y

britt_brooke @peaknit 😉😉 We really miss Wisconsin, except for the winters, of course. And thanks! 💚 It took many frustrating tries - and years - to get my hair shoulder length, lol. 5y

TheLibrarian @britt_brooke Aww thanks! I‘ve been bleaching my hair for years so I have to stay on top of the hair cutting game. Right now my roots are really showing 😱 5y

britt_brooke @TheLibrarian I feel like that should just become a new trend at this point! 😂 5y

peaKnit I‘ve made my hairdresser promise me she will not let me say I want to try growing it out. Ever. Again. 5y

Cinfhen Fabulous photos xxx I like the addition of the eyewear 💚 5y

Cinfhen And the solar eclipse was SUCH A BIG DEAL that I can‘t believe I totally forgot about it 🙊 (edited) 5y

britt_brooke @peaknit 😆 5y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen The eclipse was one of the neatest things I‘ve ever seen! We were in the line of totality. Took my breath away. 5y

JaclynW Great pictures! Busy decade! I forgot about the eclipse too. It was cool. I'm glad you have found your forever home. I live just north of Salt Lake City (and have all my life), so at one time we were close! 5y

britt_brooke @JaclynW Utah is so beautiful! We lived in Holladay for 2 years. I miss the mountains. 5y

DebinHawaii Fabulous collage. Love the black and white too! 🖤 5y

britt_brooke @DebinHawaii Thank you! 5y

JaclynW @britt_brooke Utah is pretty great! I love the mountains too! It's one of the things I miss most when I travel to other places. Holladay is a nice area. I'm glad you enjoyed your time here.😊 5y
