A Glass of Blessings: A Novel | Barbara Pym

Ch 3: I was tempted to post a pic of a badger, but went with a wren instead 🤣 #tometovisitfriends #harrymakesamoveorthreeonwilmet #partytime #soundslikeafunbunch #saidnooneever #piersshowsupdrunk #wilmetisapopulargal #allkindsoffuturedates #clueless #whatcouldgowrong #timeforsomecharitywork 🤣 #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella guess after Tess I‘m just waiting for something terrible to happen 1y

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Understandable. We were all traumatized by that book, I think! 1y

TheBookHippie I‘m loving this just catching up. I love her writing so much! After last month this is ZEN! 😂♥️ 1y

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella I think that‘s why I love it! 1y

julieclair Harry is a cad! 1y

Cuilin Harry is a PLAYER!!! 1y

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! 1y

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.“ 🤣 1y

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. 1y

Cuilin @Ruthiella oh I didn‘t catch that. Fabulous. Loved Excellent Women. 1y

Aimeesue @Ruthiella Rocky as a Pym Easter egg was so fun! 1y

Ruthiella @Aimeesue @Cuilin I love those little cameos from other novels. 😃 (edited) 1y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I feel like we are going to be angry all month 🤣 1y

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 👏🏻👏🏻🤣 1y

mcctrish @jenniferw88 😱 1y

BarkingMadRead @jenniferw88 no spoilers! 1y

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #tootrue! 🤣🤩🤣 1y

dabbe Whew. Another story where the hierarchy of humans is too prevalent. Yowsa. 😮 1y

Morr_Books @dabbe yeah...I thought this was going to be just a story of Englishmen vs Indian but we are getting a look at the caste system too. I'm there with you @BarkingMadRead on certain feelings. I've been doing a frustrated sigh a lot while reading these chapters. 1y

Bklover @dabbe yes! 1y

Bklover @BarkingMadRead Also yes! 1y

Bklover Is the wasp a symbol of the unity of all life simply so they can exclude it? 1y

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Maybe her bed is actually draped in mosquito netting or something? Because I would have a hard time sleeping knowing there was a wasp in my room! 😬 1y

jenniferw88 @BarkingMadRead ok, I'll leave it at #mrsmooreisachristian then 😂😂😂 1y

julieclair There are too many social distinctions to keep track of. Different classes of English. Different castes of Indians. English vs. Indian. It‘s exhausting. 1y

julieclair @BarkingMadRead I think I forgot to sign up for this one, but please add me to the tag list. Thanks! 1y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair added you!! 1y

julieclair Thanks! 😀 1y
