Sweater Weather | Cam Higgins

We do not care that it‘s “almost” autumn. It‘s still summer! Don‘t try to sell me a sweater! #wdncw

Amiable I love fall, but I don‘t want to see the Halloween decorations in the store right now! 1mo

Aims42 Same!! 1mo

TheKidUpstairs I'm the opposite - gimme ALL the sweaters! 1mo

dabbe As someone who's slowly melting away in Phoenix, I am literally counting the days until fall--though that won't matter because my grandma always said the weather here wouldn't change until the new moon in October. And yep, I've looked that up, too: Oct. 21st. But a big YES to the Halloween decorations! #wtf 🧡🤎💛 1mo

mcctrish It‘s hot here ( London, On) and I basically live in the same three shirts/tees sets and I don‘t care anymore. There will be clothes still for sale when it finally gets cooler 1mo

BarkingMadRead The pic won‘t load! 2mo

mcctrish I had no idea this wasn‘t finished - after all Molly went through this is the ending we get ?! 2mo

willaful SO MADDENING! How did we not know this?! I wanna see Molly happy! I wanna see Dr. Gibson slough off NotClare somehow! I guess we can watch a filmed version to get some kind of closure.. 2mo

Bookwormjillk So I'm guessing she died before she finished? Too bad. Still liked this book but kind of melancholy over the ending. The characters were great in this one. 2mo

peanutnine Yes I was so surprised at the abrupt end of the last chapter! But my version had an afterword that gave details about where Gaskell planned to go with the story before she died, so it was nice to know Molly gets her happy ending @mcctrish @willaful @Bookwormjillk 2mo

Ruthiella @peanutnine My book had this too. It does have a HEA! 2mo

Bookwormjillk @peanutnine my book had that too but it wasn‘t really clear where the information came from. But there was something about Cynthia‘s new husband being like “Wait you know Rodger???” and I got a kick out of that. 2mo

eeclayton I had the afterword, too. But even without it, Mrs Gaskell set up the HEA nicely, and she was no Charlotte Brontë to kill off Roger somewhere in Africa 😂 2mo

mcctrish @peanutnine mine had the afterward and thank god - I really was in a panic with how much book there was left and how much story there was to tell - but it felt too abrupt. All this ongoing story ( especially #notclare with her long winded double speak) ending with “dear reader, Roger married Molly. The end” 2mo

Ruthiella @eeclayton OH MY! ??? I she had pulled a Charlotte Brontë trick like the end of Villette? ? 2mo

peanutnine @eeclayton I am SO GLAD she didn't!! @mcctrish I agree, it was abrupt and I wanted all the details like we got for the whole rest of the story! I'm sure it would have been much more satisfying 2mo

ElizaMarie Yes!!! Actually if I had knownn- I probably would have skipped this book because it irked me soon much!!! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Sooooo, some of you didn‘t know that Gaskell died before finishing this book 😅 I have the edition with the ending written by her publisher but I was saving that for tomorrow! 2mo

Bklover Well, I am glad for the HEA, but I would have loved to have seen Cynthia have children and love them madly! 2mo

Lcsmcat @peanutnine That‘s how my edition handled it too. Still disappointed that we didn‘t get to see how Gaskell would have gotten us there. 2mo

AnnCrystal @PageShifter is having the same difficulty with images. 2mo

Bookwormjillk Forgot to say thanks @BarkingMadRead 2mo

dabbe I‘m in the minority, but I liked how it ended with both Molly and Roger seeing one another, saying nothing, but knowing where their hearts were and where their future lay. To me, their souls said more to each other than their spoken words ever could. Thanks for hilariously leading us again, @BarkingMadRead. 😍 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘ve said it before (and got put in facebook jail for hate speech) #boysaredumb 2mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead Zuckerberg is a case in point 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish agreed. All of the male characters are lacking in the smarts department. 2mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead maybe you should have said boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider 2mo

willaful @Bookwormjillk lol! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Hahahaha, yes! After reading this you‘ll want to go to Cranford where the men all die! 2mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly if only we‘d read this one first, we‘d have felt so justified with every death in Cranford 2mo

ElizaMarie I can't with Cynthia- ugh!!! She is the worst 2mo

Bklover You‘re correct! There really isn‘t a man in this book who isn‘t a bit thick in the head. @mcctrish 2mo

julieclair These comments are cracking me up! 😂😂😂 2mo

#ranttime Sorry to interrupt, but this just happened.
President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening that US military forces had dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear facilities, ending a weeklong deliberation period over joining Israel‘s campaign against Tehran and thrusting the United States squarely into an escalating Middle East conflict (CNN).

I have no comments (yet), just facts.

RowReads1 I can‘t 🤦🏻‍♀️ 3mo

Susanita Thank you for your attention to this matter. 3mo

Deblovestoread Because that's how you win a Noble Peace Prize. Sorry for the flippant response. I can't wrap my head around the horror of it all. 🤯🤬🤯 3mo

Eggbeater Congress is supposed to declare wars, aren't they? I feel sick. I don't want any humans to be hurt. 3mo

Cupcake12 There are no words 3mo

Prairiegirl_reading This is just so sickening. 3mo

Aims42 😔💔 I have no words, I‘m speechless and sick to my stomach 3mo

Librarybelle It‘s horrifying 3mo

dabbe @RoyReads1 @Susanita @Deblovestoread @Eggbeater @Cupcake12 @Prairiegirl_reading @Aims42 @Librarybelle I know I'm supposed to be happy and post about happy books and happy pets, but how can we ignore this? History is happening before our eyes, and history is a genre in reading. According to MSNBC, he did this without any congressional approval. And his message tonight leaves A LOT unanswered. #wtf? 😤 3mo

Aims42 @dabbe I didn‘t even bother watching his message, I knew it wouldn‘t be coherent and nothing would be answered 🙄 The US is being run by a 7 year old upset that nobody came to his birthday parade. Please also know that you don‘t have to be happy and post about happy books & pets all the time. You‘re right, history is happening and we can‘t ignore it. We gotta take care of each other ♥️♥️♥️♥️ (edited) 3mo

Eggbeater My books are sometimes political, and I need to know that I'm not alone right now, so thank you. 3mo

IriDas This is so terrible. No congressional approval. Going to war, for what? His ego. You don‘t always have to be happy. We live in a terrible timeline and ignoring this reality is only for the privileged. 3mo

FashionableObserver God help us all. Congress needs to put a stop to this. There are legal, constitutional ways to do so. We need to contact our representatives en masse. This is bad. In fact, this may be as bad as it gets, I fear. 3mo

MemoirsForMe I appreciate you letting us know. I‘m speechless. 🤯😩 3mo

BarbaraJean I can‘t either right now. I saw this news, read a few headlines and had to stop. Also: I appreciate that you don‘t only post about happy things. These are not happy times, although God knows I need to look for joy where I can in the midst of this madness. There is a place for happy posts and there is a place for keeping it real and Litsy can be both. Thank you for doing both! 💜 (edited) 3mo

Jari-chan Can't put a Like at this post, because I really don't like what's happening... 😩 3mo

5feet.of.fury Reminds me of Bush saying Iraq had wmds to justify the invasion. This is atrocious. So much for “the Peace President” 3mo

LiseWorks Wow! I knew he couldn't help himself 3mo

julesG I have no words. Just letters. TF? WTAF? 3mo

AnnCrystal I expected it, yet couldn't believe it. I'm just going to say the word that needs to be said, “Impeach!“ 😢🙏🏼. 3mo

Bookwormjillk I intentionally let my phone die last night. This is just horrifying. 3mo

AmyG I have many thoughts on this. God help us all. 3mo

Bookwomble 😥 3mo

Amiable @Eggbeater Amen. I‘m with you. Reading is political. Banning books brings politics into the reading sphere. And like @dabbe said, history is being written as we speak. We should not ever be made to feel like we can‘t post anything about what‘s happening in the world. 3mo

Roary47 I was at two dance recitals for my girls and left that high to see this. I also didn‘t watch his speech. I‘m worried what this will mean. I‘m glad you are being real. We need to stick together in good times and bad. Praying for safety for us all because of one man‘s actions. 🥺 3mo

dabbe @Aims42 Thank you for this. I needed it. ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo

dabbe @Eggbeater You are not! We need to stick together now more than ever! BTW, I just followed you! 🤩😍🤗 3mo

dabbe @IriDas W🤩WZA. Well said, and thank you! 🩵🎯🩵 3mo

dabbe @FashionableObserver I fear that it could get even worse. And you're right; I'm contacting my representatives. Thanks for the reminder. 💙♥️💙 3mo

dabbe @LiseWorks As @Aims42 said, no one came to his horrific birthday parade, so he's taking his anger out on the whole world. 😤 3mo

dabbe @julesG 🩵🎯🩵 3mo

dabbe @Roary47 Thank you; this means so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the recitals; finding the good in life is more important now than ever. 💙♥️💙 3mo

dabbe @Aims42 Currently, it's 92º, but it's not even noon. Sending 🤗😍🤗 right back to ya! 3mo

Aims42 @dabbe 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 3mo

AmyG You‘ll love this one. I just read someone calling him Emperor Hirocheeto. 🤣 3mo

JenlovesJT47 💙❤️💙 3mo

PuddleJumper This is truly the darkest timeline. This has been the only thing on our news in the UK. There's a lot of anger over what may happen, what we may get pulled into, because a foreign leader is delusional and having a dick swinging contest against people that think he's a moron. 3mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe ✊🏼🐻🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲. 3mo

dabbe @AmyG OMG. Adding that one to the list: #emphirocheeto 🤣 3mo

TheBookHippie @5feet.of.fury EXACTLY 3mo

TheBookHippie @AmyG OMG 🤣 3mo

TheBookHippie @Aims42 as I rule I never watch him. 3mo

Aims42 @TheBookHippie It‘s a new rule for me, zero regrets 👍 I actually just followed an account on Threads that they put his “speech” transcript over his face and muted it so you didn‘t have to see or hear him but still knew what was being said 😆 That account got followed so fast by me lol Finding the balance between being informed and sane is very tricky 😵‍💫🥴🤢 3mo

TheBookHippie @Aims42 oh that‘s a good idea and yes I just read the transcript. And that makes me sick. 🤦🏻‍♀️😵‍💫 3mo

Aims42 @TheBookHippie I know, right? 🥴🤢🤮 3mo

AmyG @Aims42 @TheBookHippie We mute him. It‘s all bullsh** anyway. 3mo

Aims42 @AmyG 👍👍👍👍👍👍 it 100% is 3mo

TheBookHippie @AmyG it sure is. 3mo

Bookwormjillk I surprised myself by liking Cynthia today. This is a long book huh? 3mo

mcctrish I don‘t not like Cynthia but anyone who says they don‘t love anyone but will choose to love Molly seems a bit sketch 3mo

ElizaMarie @Ruthiella and the whole sending her away immediately after her daddy died - that Mrs G is not maternal at all!!!! 3mo

Bklover I‘m with all of you! Cynthia seems wonderful in spite of the neglect of her mother. Hope it holds up! A teeny bit concerned that they might end up wanting the same guy. @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly Hmm, I‘m reserving judgment on Cynthia. I like her forthrightness, but I‘m nervous about her saying she doesn‘t love anyone! 3mo

dabbe I have finally caught up! 🤣🤣🤣 Whew! 😅 Cynthia reminds me of Estella in GREAT EXPECTATIONS: icily cold and knows it. I'm reserving judgment on her as well, though I do like her WAY more than her mother. Holy guacamole on her! 3mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Oh! I didn't even think of that! 3mo

mcctrish @Cuilin this was my first thought too!!!!cuz if daughter is anything like her mother she‘d be bleeding the boy dry 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Ooh, that makes sense! She‘s definitely too low-born for his dad so that would be why he has to keep her secret. 3mo

Cuilin @mcctrish exactly!!! 3mo

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I think she might have been pleased before Osborne destroyed the family fortune. 😏 3mo

rubyslippersreads I was worried that Molly would go home without any books. (The worst fate a Litten could imagine!) I‘m glad Roger chose some for her. 3mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin ooooooo I hope it is her! That would be a perfect twist and explain the $$$$ 3mo

Bklover @rubyslippersreads Me too! I wondered why she set them down. I‘d take as many as I could carry!😉😂 3mo
