mcctrish @dabbe is it the time period? I did care but it‘s getting harder 1mo

dabbe @mcctrish Maybe. It's also the absence again of a plot. I mean, it's a bildungsroman about Maggie and Tom growing up, but have a driving plot line, please! 🤣 1mo

Bklover I feel bad for Marian. Forever the aunty. 2mo

BarbaraJean It was a bit anticlimactic! More dramatic vindication would have been nice. Or at least a hilarious dramatic deathbed scene with dear Uncle. I‘m just glad Pesca didn‘t have to kill Porkchop. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @BarbaraJean I definitely hoped for better deaths 🤣 2mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk #atleastthebadpeopledied small mercies and @BarbaraJean silver lining for Pesca 👏🏻👏🏻 2mo

Bookwormjillk @BarbaraJean good point- happy for Pesca 2mo

ElizaMarie @Bklover YES! I feel so badly for Marian. Like she was a super amazing woman, and if only she wasn't so ugly - ha! I mean, she kinda gets a happily ever after, but... only kinda? 2mo

dabbe It creeped me out how #countporkchop lusted/loved Marian. There has to be someone out there for her! But you know what? She's Wilkie's independent woman, so maybe it's fitting that she ends up happily on her own. She, Walt, and Anne were my favorites. Oh, and Pesca, too!

Thanks for another fabulous read, #hashtagbrigade and our wittiest leader, @BarkingMadRead! 🤩🙌🏻🤩 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Heck yeah they did! I suspected that foreigner with a scar on his face might be the Brotherhood‘s vengeance but when he left the Count alone when Walt arrived at his house, I wasn‘t sure. He got the ending he deserved! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Does anyone remember, if Laura hadn‘t managed to produce a son, would someone else have inherited Limmeridge? Or would a daughter have done the trick? Or could she have inherited in her own right? 2mo

Ruthiella @Bklover @ElizaMarie @dabbe We can all write our own ending for Marian. I see her meeting Mr. Gilmore‘ son (or nephew or daughter or niece, whatever your flavor) and starting a beautiful partnership both personally and professionally as private detectives. 2mo

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly I think she would have inherited in her own right. 2mo

TheAromaofBooks I ended up loving this one!! Thanks so much for hosting @BarkingMadRead - this one was an unexpected win for me 😂 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I love that ending!! @TheAromaofBooks I was pleasantly surprised as well! I really loved this one! 2mo

dabbe @Ruthiella Love this! 🤩🤩🤩 2mo

KAO I enjoyed this a lot! Thanks so much! 2mo

Leftcoastzen What a wonderful book ! Glad for the happy ending (it‘s about time) so many of the characters are so well crafted, they could have a book of their own ! Yay,Marian! Thanks @BarkingMadRead 2mo

Bklover @Ruthiella That‘s a perfect ending!! I love it! 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly i thought the same thing! How legal is this marriage, sir?!? 2mo

ElizaMarie Maybe she‘s getting married as Anne? Or could they flee the country? (edited) 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Kind of unsatisfying that Emily doesn‘t have to do anything to get her inheritance… 5mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly right? All that paperwork with Macaroni for nothing. 5mo

peanutnine I feel like most everything in this book has been a ton of anticipation and buildup with no satisfying pay out @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk 5mo

mcctrish @peanutnine absolutely so many words and nothing happens besides crying, fainting and things that can‘t be talked about 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine Yup. That‘s why I‘m not expecting any exciting ghost reveal with Ludo. 5mo

mcctrish @peanutnine like Emily knew he was a cheat and a liar and she stilled signed 🤦🏻‍♀️ why couldn‘t she give Ludacris at least 24 hrs AND Annette is going to get them killed 6mo

eeclayton Seriously, Emily 🤦🤦🤦 6mo

TheAromaofBooks I'm soooo confused about why she got sent away and then brought back when it's obvious Macaroni doesn't care about her safety at all?? Did he just think she might get killed before he got the paper signed?! 6mo

AllDebooks I thought we were done with Annette 🫣😅 6mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I think it said at one point that if she died, he wouldn‘t get the property, it had to be signed over? 6mo

Bookwormjillk If I was being held captive in a creepy castle I would hope my true love would do more than play music at night. 6mo

AllDebooks This was very frustrating. Spill the T Radclyffe 😕 6mo

mcctrish At present I‘d say the mystery is how anyone reads this 6mo

AllDebooks @mcctrish so much repetition!! 6mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks every time there is a chance of something happening - nope! We see gypsies, ooo what‘s going to happen? Nothing. Dad holding miniature portrait - nothing, papers to read, burn em and nothing 6mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂 6mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s a lot of words and a lot of crying for nothing 6mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I don‘t mind it when the chapters are short, but sometimes I see 23 minutes in the chapter on my kindle and I want to cry right along with her. A lot of people love this book so hopefully something other than dying parents and crying happens soon. 6mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m reading on serial and when it says the chapter continues to more than one section I too want to cry 6mo

Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t believe it said she read a bit but won‘t tell us what that bit is!!! So unfair. And auntie… she‘s obnoxious but she‘s not wrong about people who look good not necessarily being good. 6mo

Bklover I‘m hoping Auntie spices things up a bit! I do think, though, that Auntie is going to cause more crying and fainting. There has to be some excitement coming soon! 6mo

eeclayton @mcctrish same! I would never get through this if it wasn't for the #hashtagbrigade ! 6mo

eeclayton I was actually proud of Emily for not saying yes to V right away. But this is about the only positive thing I can say about the story so far. 6mo

julieclair So. Much. Crying. I switched to audio and it has helped me to enjoy the story more. (Not sure why…) 6mo

mcctrish @Ruthiella I think that‘s what it is, initially it came across as much more sinister probably because of his wife‘s hysterics stomping out of the room 8mo
