#WhatTheDickens

Ugh, I don‘t care for Mr Flintwinch at all also I‘m highly suspicious of Arthur‘s mother 🤨 I love the little drawings in a Dickens novel, wouldn‘t it be nice if novels had little drawings in them? I guess the costs for an illustrator and printing would be astronomical. @Texreader

TheBookHippie Just pulled my book out! I agree I‘d love illustrations now and again. 1w
BarbaraJean I would also love little drawings in novels for adults! Maybe that's one reason I love maps in fantasy novels. I feel like black & white line drawings wouldn't add too much to the cost... at least for the printing. There are some great YA/MG books that have little illustrations throughout (tagged is a favorite YA novel with small illustrations), so it seems to me like it would be viable for adult books as well! 1w
Cuilin @BarbaraJean Agreed. I also like annotated books as they have pictures too. 7d

Whoa! I think I know where the idea of the DOGE came from!! Read this chapter fall! It is ominously prescient!

Daisey Keep me on the #WhatTheDickens list, but I‘m probably going to pass on this one for now. I‘ve got a busy June and committed to the Kristin Lavransdatter read. 3w

CogsOfEncouragement My first time reading too. Not a book I‘ve even heard of. I enjoyed Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist, so I‘d like to read more. In order to fit it in with all my other BRs I‘m going to try the audiobook. Thanks for the tag. ✌🏻♥️📚 1w
Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement I‘m doing a combination of book and audio. Do you have Audible if so, Juliet Stevenson is the narrator for the audible edition and she is fabulous! 1w
CogsOfEncouragement Yes :) I just downloaded it! I was thinking about picking up the book from the library too. I see it is on the shelf of my local branch. Sometimes that helps with this kind of book - to actually see the names, etc. 1w

I love Dickens‘ personification in his stories. It‘s what made me first love his writing. And here we go, what‘s that crazy mud up to this time?

I can forgive Dickens for interminably long sentences because look at this beauty! It‘s so gorgeously crafted and delivers a soft powerful punch there at the end. I love this man.

Consider this a preview of things to come reading our next book for #whattheDickens ! @Cuilin
