Cuilin Is this a first time read for anyone? The bath bit was so real. (edited) 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin this is a first time read for me 11mo

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 😳 11mo

mcctrish First time for me 11mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 11mo

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. 😟 11mo

Cuilin @mcctrish I don‘t know I could‘ve left a friend with a Lenny!! 11mo

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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 11mo

mcctrish @Cuilin Doreen has a bit of Mike Tyson in her, I think she‘s going to be fine 🤣🤣 (edited) 11mo

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. 11mo

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. 👀 11mo

mcctrish @Cuilin 🤣🤣🤣 11mo

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! 11mo

mcctrish @willaful sensible shoes for the win 11mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead @willaful She also asked her not to leave her alone with him!!! (edited) 11mo

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! 11mo

Cuilin @mcctrish I hope so 🤛 11mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle I had images of a domestic setting for some reason 🤷‍♀️ 11mo

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) 11mo

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. 11mo

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🤬🤷🏻‍♀️ 11mo

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. 😱 11mo

tpixie @dabbe @cullin it‘s my first read also. This book is bringing on a lot of feels!! 😅🥺😳 11mo

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! 11mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks gotcha! 11mo

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! 11mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin First time read for me --- and The bath bit -- yes! #Truth! 11mo

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! 11mo

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. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @CogsOfEncouragement so many unanswered questions! We are scarred from previous books 🤣 #zerotrust 11mo

tpixie @CogsOfEncouragement that drink level made me think Lenny was over pouring her… 10mo

Lark Rise to Candleford - Trilogy: Lark Rise, Over to Candleford and Candleford Green | Flora Thompson

willaful Yeah, back to the lack of narrative. 😂 Joe's story made me very sad, because my daughter is disabled and I worry so much about what will happen when we're gone, especially now. I bet poor Joe's mother was fretted to death about it. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful I worked with special needs kids before I retired, and stuff like this makes me crazy. I have zero patience for it 11mo

Bookwormjillk So random. I thought it was because I was sleepy and dozing off, but then I went back to read again and nope. Just random. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I had so much trouble focusing 🤣 11mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm guessing still no plot? 😆 11mo

TheAromaofBooks I've always read about calf's foot jelly in old books as a great delicacy, and I can see why after reading about how time-consuming and complicated it is to make... but I definitely don't want to try it! 😐 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig I feel like we got teased with some plot and then it was snatched away 🤣 11mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks hard pass 🤣🤣 11mo

AllDebooks Some things belong in the past, like that jelly 🫣 11mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks the jelly and fox hunting!! 11mo

dabbe I gotta admit, I skimmed through this chapter and read like this: the dull green blahblahblah ... the interesting green ... blahblahblah ... fox hunting omg skip ... disgusting jelly omg skip ... blahblahblah reverend and wife then both die + congregation ... blahblahblah done. 😂 11mo

willaful I had trouble concentrating too. Thought it was the ambien. 😂 11mo

mcctrish How we get from #outwiththeoldinwiththenew clergy to Luney Joe to who takes a bath where and when is beyond me @dabbe there‘s skip and then there is skim 11mo

Bklover @willaful This made me laugh!!😂😂 11mo

willaful @Bklover glad to be of service. :-) 11mo

dabbe @mcctrish Perhaps a skip would be better--as in today's chapter as well! #oy 11mo

mcctrish @dabbe maybe skip to the end 🤣🤣🤣 11mo

dabbe @mcctrish If you will, I will. 🤩 But since I did do that for verdant-verdure UDOLPHO, I feel obligated to see this through. Sooooooo close! 😂 11mo

mcctrish @dabbe we are so close it has to count either way 🤣🤣😆 11mo

No More Poems!: A Book in Verse That Just Gets Worse | Rhett Miller

pick

Poetry book by Rhett Miller illustrated by Dan Santat has awesome poems that I know students of many different grades would find hilarious to hear/read. these poems are all about children and defy the rules of writing. There are some about tech devices and random events or things the children enjoy. The illustrations are amazing and elevate each poem and the feelings they convey.
