IndoorDame The intro to my copy points out that she is only ever “the second Mrs de Winter” (and it has some very pointed things to say about that 😂) but that‘s quite a mouthful so I think she‘s gonna need a nickname 2w

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I totally agree. We have to call her something 🤷🏻‍♀️ poor thing never has a name, although we know it‘s a pretty one and also unique. Super helpful. 2w

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead I‘ve often wondered what constitutes a “unique” name for a white woman in England in the 30s 2w

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame probably something so chill now 2w

Ruthiella Her name is Jan Brady, forever doomed to be overshadowed by Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! I mean, Rebecca. 2w

IndoorDame @Ruthiella 👏👏👏 Sold! call her Jan 🤣 (edited) 2w

Ruthiella Also, it‘s so awkward when your first date is an attempted murder/suicide! 😱😆 2w

CatLass007 @Ruthiella You have a wicked sense of humor! I like that in a person. 2w

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella 🤣☠️🤣☠️ 2w

BarkingMadRead Omg @Ruthiella #janbrady FTW 2w

Bookwormjillk Jan 😂 🏈 2w

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella Jan is perfect! 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I need to find a book about gardens in DDuM books. "The daffodils were in bloom, stirring in the evening breeze, golden heads cupped upon lean stalks, and however many you might pick there would be no thinning of the ranks, they were massed like an army, shoulder to shoulder. On a bank below the lawns, crocuses were planted, golden, pink, and mauve, but by this time they would be past their best, dropping and fading, like pallid snowdrops.⬇️ 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig The primrose was more vulgar, a homely pleasant creature who appeared in every cranny like a weed. Too early yet for bluebells, their heads were still hidden beneath last year‘s leaves, but when they came, dwarfing the more humble violet, they choked the very bracken in the woods, and with their color made a challenge to the sky....People who plucked bluebells from the woods were vandals; he had forbidden it at Manderley." 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig So many flowers in this Chapter. I highlighted so many. 2w

Roary47 @Ruthiella I love it! Jan is who I will imagine her to be. Plus we don‘t know her actual age either. Are they on a date showing she‘s older than a child? 2w

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 I get the idea that she‘s an adult, but maybe a bit younger than Max 2w

Ruthiella @Roary47 I am reading a bit ahead. I think in chapter five it‘s confirmed she is 21. 👍 But Maxim is “old enough to be her father”, so 35 to 40 years old, I imagine. 🤔 2w

Clare-Dragonfly @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, the descriptions are so vivid and wonderful! I can see the flowers so clearly! 2w

Bookwormjillk These chapters are long but they don‘t feel like it. 2w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree! 2w

Graciouswarriorprincess @Crinoline_Laphroaig These descriptions are so vivid! 2w

julieclair I am really appreciating du Maurier‘s beautifully descriptive prose this time around. I don‘t remember noticing it as much the first time I read this. 2w

ElizaMarie I agree with “Jan“ as her name for now... But wouldn't it be wild if her name is Daphne? I mean, if I were an author, maybe I would name a character after myself and then say how beautiful the name is repeatedly. 2w

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s a brilliant point! 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Oh, my nose! Oh,my nose! 😂😂😂 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk As opposed to our last book! #oy 😂🤗🤩 2w

Bklover I have ALMOST caught back up. Have had a hard time with pretty much everything this month- on the 6th my best friend of twenty years died suddenly and I‘ve been a mess. I should be all caught up by tomorrow morning! By the way love the tshirt idea!!👕 3mo

Bklover @TheBookHippie You as well! I‘m sorry about your friend. Tami was 64, same age as I am. Seems way too young. It‘s hard losing friends. You take care of you as well. ❤️ 3mo

mcctrish Absolute chaos @5feet.of.fury and because FD loves wind bag speeches that go on and on and say nothing, I feel like Fyodor will die tonight having promised to say something and yet not #cuzthatshowweroll 3mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was thinking the same thing! We will never know what he wanted to say, and why he didn‘t want Ivan to know! 3mo

dabbe This pic says it all. 🤩😍😂 3mo

TheAromaofBooks Do you think the fact that the author gave his own name to the most obnoxious (debatable) character means anything?? 3mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish yup expecting a funeral for Pops tomorrow (not a spoiler just no expectations of this chaos getting resolved.) 3mo

currentlyreadinginCO I was wondering that, too! @TheAromaofBooks . I wonder how common the name Fyodor was at the time ... I feel like there are never that many Russian first names in novels and so it might not be that odd to have a namesake character? 3mo

TheAromaofBooks @currentlyreadinginCO - I keep thinking about the way Jane Austen created the most beautiful, kind, sweet, universally-loved character in P&P... and named her Jane 😂 3mo

currentlyreadinginCO Love that @TheAromaofBooks 😂 3mo

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks ha! 3mo

I think I had too much fun with this one. 😂
HS years: 1979-1983
1. The 80s mullet. #yikes
2. Acid-washed jeans or denim. #everywhere
3. Shoulder pads. #goodlord
4. Big-ass hair. #seriouslyjustdont
5. Socks outside your Reebok high-tops. #why
I'd love to see your answers! Consider yourself officially tagged! #alllittens

CatLass007 I kind of miss shoulder pads. Not the ginormous ones but something to give my sloping shoulders some shape. 3mo

dabbe @CatLass007 I really never could find ones that fit properly; they all were bulky and stood out. I wonder if you can even buy them today? 🤔 3mo

Susanita I love it! 3mo

CatLass007 If I was looking to buy some small shoulder pads these days, I‘d check a fabric shop. But even they might not have any. 3mo

TheBookgeekFrau I was in HS from 83-87 so ditto your list. But I would add "eyes by crayola" all that blue mascara and purple eyeliner ?? 3mo

dabbe @Susanita 🤩😍😘 3mo

dabbe @CatLass007 That's probably the best place to look besides Amazon--which sells ANYTHING! 🤩 3mo

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau OMG yes! And midnight blue eyeshadow mixed with hot pink! My dad once told me my eyes looked like my boyfriend had beaten me up! 🤩😂😍 3mo

CatLass007 You can find anything on Amazon except true love. 3mo

Through the Grinder | Cleo Coyle

I like this book so far, buuuuut… I absolutely despise passages where someone describes themselves like they‘re in love with themselves. Thanks for mentioning your lovely “Italian-roast brown hair” (coffee-themed, I get it) and your “C-cups.” It‘s annoying and would be unacceptable in anything but a cozy. Does this annoy anyone else?

#rants #bookblurbs #currentlyreading #cozies #librarylends #yikes

radesilets It is almost like trying to describe it from the other person‘s perspective, which definitely does not always work. C-cups. Eesssh. 3y

bibliobliss @radesilets My thoughts exactly 😬 3y
