Ruthiella Wonderful ending. Thanks so much for leading us in this read-along. It was awesome! ❤️👏👏👏 2y

dabbe Leave it to a MAN to have to fix the ladies, so to speak. 😏 Still, I will miss Cranford and these wonderful ladies. Thanks for leading us and making us laugh, @BarkingMadRead. 💙💚💙 2y

Allylu Reading this with you folks was soooo much fun! Love the #hashtags. Thank you! 2y

AnnR Lol @dabbe :-) Thank you to @BarkingMadRead for another fun discussion. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig Thank you @BarkingMadRead for host! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Thank goodness, the book ended before Peter died 😂 Thanks for the hashtags! 2y

Vansa I could not love this more. I absolutely love how Peter continues to be cheeky and invent stories about shooting cherubs.Mrs.Jamieson is obnoxious,I love how Gaskell very cleverly shows the slow acceptance of a more fluid form of interactions among classes- Ms.Matty is " in trade",Martha and her husband live with her,Lady Glenmire thinks nothing of chucking her meaningless title.Its interesting that Georgette Heyer wrote nearly 200 years later(1/2 2y

Vansa (2/2) and displays far more rigid views towards class. Absolute delight and thank you for this, I would never had read this if not for this excellent reading group #Pemberlittenz 2y

julieclair This was such a fun read! The Cranford ladies are a hoot! Reading it together made it all the more fun. Thanks for another great job as host, @BarkingMadRead ! 👏 2y

rubyslippersreads Like @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m somewhat concerned for Peter‘s safety. 😆 Thanks for hosting a great readalong @BarkingMadRead 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2y

mcctrish I think Peter broke the curse 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you so much for leading us @BarkingMadRead this was a really fun read 2y

willaful So what do we think -- Peter marry one of the Cranford ladies or no? Which would be safer? I like your take, @mcctrish !

I just remembered, I was surprised to see the term “cast up her accounts“ in the book. I've only encountered it before as slang for... er... feeling unwell. 😄 (edited) 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks this was my #bookspin I finished both this month already! Finally ahead of the game for a change lol 2y

TheAromaofBooks I genuinely loved this one, which was a huge surprise because I HATED North & South! But this one was full of such gentle humor and likable characters, and not nearly as many funerals as I feared!! 😂 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Vansa - I do think Heyer's books are set in the earlier Regency period vs. Cranford's Victorian era. Also, Heyer's stories tend to focus on a richer, more upper class than we find in Cranford, so I think that also changes how various class interactions are portrayed. But it was fun to see some of the distinctions change throughout the story!! 2y

Vansa @TheAromaofBooks I know they're set in a different time period! Obviously😀I'm talking about the author's own attitudes,not the characters'.Heyer demonstrates the sort of attitudes towards class that Mrs.Jamieson does,if you read her books. 2y
