LiseWorks Thank you for posting this. I know that ordinary Americans, the ones that didn't vote for Trump, are not in agreement with what he did. I sure hope some actually let him know he doesn't represent them. 4w

AmyG Makes me think someone‘s lotalty lies with Russia. 🤔 4w

Butterfinger We have become allies with a government whose ideology was something we thought abhorrent until just a few days ago. Even though it is not Communist, it is still a state controlled nation. I know I am "preaching to the choir," but I have not been able to sleep. Now, I am a warmonger in addition to everything I said yesterday. 4w

dabbe @melissajayne And I can't even wrap my head around that. Did these people really think he'd lower food prices? That's really all they cared about? And where have those prices now gone? I don't even know how they can look in the mirror these days. 4w

dabbe @Butterfinger Agree 💯! 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 4w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I hope the Democrats who are there turn around and moon him. It wouldn't be any worse than the horrors he's already unleashed. 4w

TheBookHippie @dabbe they voted hate and control and power. Prices just an excuse to hid their racism, misogyny and white Christian national ideals. 4w

TheBookHippie @Butterfinger I hid under my desk because Russia was going to bomb us …all through school. 😵‍💫 4w

Chrissyreadit ❤️ I remind myself that a significant majority did not vote for him. That based on history and behavior this is an extinction burst and last battle cry hopefully of the patriarchy and that there are still too many people who are too comfortable to rise up- including democratic leaders. They have the opportunity to step up now - and Zelenskyy is truly the epitome of hero. 4w

The Almost Sisters: A Novel | Joshilyn Jackson

"I saw there was a second South. My whole life I‘d only seen one. I loved my South, though I could see how it was broken, plagued still with the legacies of slavery and war and segregation. History and a thousand unseen walls divided up the territory . . ." Pic of the real Monroeville (Harper Lee's Maycomb). I suspect there are many similarities with Jackson's Birchville. #truth #SisterLove

Sister Snake: A Novel | Amanda Lee Koe

1. Casey got an adorable haircut. He‘s no longer at risk of heat stroke in the middle of winter from the shear wealth of hair on his body!

2. I started SISTER SNAKE tonight and I immediately feel all OMG about it. Is this the book I‘ve been waiting for? I sure hope so.

TheBookHippie Such a cutie! Enjoy your read. 1mo

dabbe @xicanti My buff cocker Caramel felt the same way. She LOVED when the hair between her toe pads was trimmed! 🤩 1mo

xicanti @dabbe toes trims are the best! Casey‘s feet become little mops when they‘re fuzzy. It makes life awkward for him. (edited) 1mo

dabbe @xicanti #truth! Their fur is so beautiful and silky, but man, can it grow! 🤩 1mo

The Valley of Fear | Arthur Conan Doyle

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @Cuilin

Thoughts, Sherlockians?

Daisey, erzascarletbookgasm, CogsOfEncouragement, AnneCecilie, Born.A.Reader, Aimeesue, Larkken, Librarybelle, mom2bugnbee, Chrissyreadit, Read4life, StayCurious, Sace, CatLass007, Mollyanna, curiouserandcurioser, eeclayton, dabbe, IndoorDame, kelli7990, TheAromaofBooks, 5feet.of.fury, Tineke, Fr3NcHtOaSt, Blackink_WhitePaper, RayHallucinogen, Pageturner1, PageShifter, AllDebooks, AnnR, kimrenee, aroyse, CrystalE02

Librarybelle I could see part two as a standalone, not necessarily associated with Holmes. If someone handed me part two and gave me no other info, I‘d think it was a good mystery—a little long winded in the middle, but again the twist made it a surprise at the end. 1mo

eeclayton @Librarybelle I agree. Here, I would've been much happier with a shorter backstory, especially since the mystery in part 1 was completely solved. 1mo

dabbe @Librarybelle @eeclayton 🎯! If given Part 2 separately, I would have enjoyed it without knowing any reference to Holmes or Watson. I would not have considered it “one of the finest“ detective stories ever written, but I would have liked it. Pair it next to SH in Part 1, though, and it's a whole different story! 1mo

See All 7 Comments

AnneCecilie Part 2 can stand in it‘s own, but can part 1? I don‘t remember being told the why in part 1 and in a mystery novel, I feel like that is important. In modern crime stories, the resolution comes at the end after learning the why you learn the who. I feel that Doyle shifts the focus and says that the why is more important 1mo

dabbe @AnneCecilie Excellent point. And yes, the “why“ is usually in the resolution part. So, I guess you could say that ALL of Part 2 is the “why“ part, but it's so detailed, it could stand on its own--except for the last part where Sherlock comes back on the scene. 1mo

AnneCecilie Backstory is important. At least I didn‘t spent half of part 2 wondering where I was and if there was something wrong with my copy like I did with A Study in Scarlet 1mo

See All 33 Comments

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin this is a first time read for me 2mo

mcctrish 43 by 5 blocks is a lot to walk. I love that she was no worse for the wear shoe wise afterwards and that she knows a bath cures everything. I feel like letting Doreen in would have been a bad idea but leaving her outside the door in a puddle of her own vomit is a level of No fucks to give I need to aspire to 😳 2mo

mcctrish First time for me 2mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead oh good, I had heard of it, of course, but I didn‘t really know much about it and it‘s turning out to be completely different than what I thought. I‘m intrigued. But also worried. 😟 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish I don‘t know I could‘ve left a friend with a Lenny!! 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin I love it so much - after udolpho and the bros and Lark Rise it just feels like the words are precise and measured and specific and the story just zips right out and grabs me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin Doreen has a bit of Mike Tyson in her, I think she‘s going to be fine 🤣🤣 (edited) 2mo

willaful @mcctrish Not so much in New York. Long walks are easy there.

This chapter was disturbing and I kind of wished I was back in Candleford. Doreen could easily have died. 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish The writing style is so much more accessible, it‘s fabulous because we can focus on the plot, oh and it has a plot. Looking at you Lark Rise. 👀 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin 🤣🤣🤣 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @willaful I 💯 agree, I don‘t think I could have left her there. She was obviously not in a position to make any kind of decision or to fight back! 2mo

mcctrish @willaful sensible shoes for the win 2mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead @willaful She also asked her not to leave her alone with him!!! (edited) 2mo

Librarybelle My first time reading this too, @Cuilin , and it‘s different than what I anticipated. I‘m not sure what I thought this would be, but it‘s just different. However, I‘m liking it so far! 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish I hope so 🤛 2mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle I had images of a domestic setting for some reason 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

Bookwormjillk I wouldn‘t have left Doreen there, but also I probably wouldn‘t have left the hotel in the first place and just skipped right to the bath. Lenny- what a goof ball. (edited) 2mo

Bookwormjillk Also I read this as a teen, so my memory is only foggy and I might be getting details confused with a Christopher Pike book. 2mo

DieAReader 🙋🏻‍♀️First time for me. 😱😳Never would‘ve left Doreen like that. I also think leaving her in the hallway like that was both dangerous & irresponsible. The whole situation kinda pissed me off tbh🤬🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo

dabbe This is my first read, but I know a bit about it. Plath died just one month after its publication in the UK. 😟 And it's semi-autobiographical. I'm already noticing so many allusions to death and dying just in the first two chapters. And I'm worried, too, @Cuilin. 😱 2mo

tpixie @dabbe @cullin it‘s my first read also. This book is bringing on a lot of feels!! 😅🥺😳 2mo

TheAromaofBooks Could you add me to the tag list, please? My copy came from the library - I've never read this one so I have no idea where it's going! 2mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks gotcha! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly This is a first-time read for me, too. Our girl is making a lot of bad decisions but she is very young! 2mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin First time read for me --- and The bath bit -- yes! #Truth! 2mo

ElizaMarie I mean, I get that Doreen asked her not to leave her - but... also, Doreen is not a good friend either. I mean, leaving your friend and putting your friend in that position to leave you --- it just is all messy! 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement My first read. What was in those drinks? I‘m not necessarily holding it against her that she left, because it seems something else was at play. When she was seeing her drink was below the design on the glass, then above it. What was real? Did Doreen really bite his ear? She is super groggy when she leaves Doreen in the hallway, just hungover? or something more? Anticipating not getting answers to any of these questions though. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @CogsOfEncouragement so many unanswered questions! We are scarred from previous books 🤣 #zerotrust 2mo

tpixie @CogsOfEncouragement that drink level made me think Lenny was over pouring her… 1mo

mcctrish It sure was a fast start 😬 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish more happened in this chapter than the whole last book 🤣 It was hard to stop reading! 2mo

TheKidUpstairs One of my all time favourite books, with one of my all time favourite first lines ❤ 2mo

BarkingMadRead @TheKidUpstairs it is truly an epic first line! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly What @Bookwormjillk said! 😱 No, no, getting out of the cab to hang out with some guys in a bar is always a bad idea, and going with them to a second location is a worse one! 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement This is my first read, and that first line had me googling the Rosenbergs before I moved on to the next. @TheKidUpstairs Such a great opening. I agree @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk theater traffic is a much better choice. eek 2mo

willaful Very nervous.

Anyone else finding the sense of time off? Not quite sure how to describe it but she's apparently in the present at some points and in the past at others and I seem to have missed the transitions. Might be careless reading on my part.

There was some recent news about Ethel Rosenberg's son trying to prove her innocence.... 2mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #truth 😂😂😂 2mo

Cuilin @dabbe @mcctrish something tells me we‘re not in Lark Rise no more!!! (edited) 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin 😂😂 2mo

tpixie @willaful interesting about the son. I was just wondering if they were scapegoats or really guilty…. @BarkingMadRead thanks for the article. (edited) 2mo

willaful @tpixie Here's a piece on it: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ethel-rosenbergs-family-pushes-biden-to-exoner... 2mo
