Bklover I like Mrs. Hamley! 😟. Mrs. G is awful- I don‘t feel sorry for Mr G at all. He has his head up his 🫏 16h
Ruthiella Mrs. Gibson is the limit. So incredibly selfish. 16h

mcctrish @Bklover same! poor Mrs Hamley thinking she‘d be a better mom to a girl and that‘s why Osbourne turned out bad ☹️ Doc Gibson better smarten up and put his wife in her place or he‘s going to be broke and his daughter will take the first offer out of there 16h
Cuilin @mcctrish yes. Dr Gibson needs to stand up for Molly!! 15h
Bookwormjillk Mr Gibson roaring for lunch instead of standing up to his wife grrrr. 15h
TheAromaofBooks Before I opened this post, I was thinking about this chapter and the word that came to mind was “yikes“ so I thought it was hilarious that that was your first hashtag 😂 But seriously, apparently Mr G just never wants to have to make any decisions about Molly ever again 😑 And the way he makes her call Mrs. G “mamma“ just... ugh 14h
mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks he just wants to come home FOR ONCE and have a meal waiting for him #isottoomuchtoask 13h
TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - In fairness, it literally is Mrs. G's job and the main reason he got married😂 12h
mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks she‘s banned cheese from the house #thatwasthefirstclue 12h
ElizaMarie @mcctrish ha yes!!! I can‘t think of a good lunch without some cheese so —- why bother!? Mrs G doesn‘t seem to like to hang out with her husband either - just complain when he is out 9h

Spending my evening catching up on the #readlesmis read-a-long. Glad to be diving back into this even if I am ankle deep in a many-chapter denunciation of the convent way of life. Oh how Hugo loves his digressions! 😂

TheBookHippie He does love to meander … ♥️🤣 1d
JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie he is the king of rabbit trails!!! 😳 which is why I got a tad behind. Catching up tomorrow! 🤞🏻 1d
TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 I know it‘s why I love him 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🫣♥️🤣 1d
JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie well one thing you can say is he definitely tells a very thorough story! More than any other book I‘ve read. 🤓 1d
TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 it soothes me. 🙃 1d

mcctrish I WANT TO SCREAM!!!!! “Dad says I can go “ there‘s a new sheriff in town now” 2d
rubyslippersreads Just by casting this actor, I feel as though they‘ve told us all we need to know about Osborne. 😏 2d
BarkingMadRead @rubyslippersreads seriously 🙄🤣 2d
Bklover That woman is HORRIBLE. I wanted Mr Gibson to walk in and tell her to shut her narcissistic mouth! @mcctrish Exactly! By the way we all know MrG would do no such thing. #FreeMolly (edited) 2d
Clare-Dragonfly Awful woman! 2d
mcctrish @Bklover Mr Gibson wants no trouble = everyone else has the trouble aka Molly is going to crack 2d
ElizaMarie I wonder if Molly will complain to her daddy about this? ugh! I hate this new momma. Also curious to see her interactions with her own daughter. 1d
Lcsmcat @mcctrish Right? He got them into this mess with his I‘ll-advised marriage and now he just dumps the blame on Molly. 😡 1d

This was a fun graphic novel of Northanger Abbey.

Mid-month check in. Read any good Northanger Abbey retellings? Anything you've hated?

Lcsmcat @mcctrish Exactly! 3d
ElizaMarie Call me momma!? WHAT! I do not like this woman! And Again with the Cheese!!! 3d
Clare-Dragonfly She‘s so annoying! Oh, I‘d be totally happy to keep Betty, if only she would attend to my every whim! 🙄 And can the Gibsons afford this maid she wants to hire? Doesn‘t seem like she‘s thought about what is affordable, just how much she needs to spend to get her away from her current employer. 3d
julieclair This whole chapter made me sad. 😕 2d
Bklover @mcctrish You said it!! 😂. Would have been a short book though!! 2d

mcctrish No matter what anyone says about Harriet, she can read the room regarding Mr Preston 4d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish aggghhh I forgot about him! #selectivememory 4d

mcctrish It was a really long chapter that seemed to go off on tangents but, for me, Preston is bad and everyone is obsessed with Osborne for no reason 4d
willaful Yes, Harriet can be trusted on this one, I think.

I wonder if Molly is going to talk herself into being in love with Osborne, even though he's not exactly what she imagined.
4d
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish Harriet did her a solid keeping her away from creepy Mr Preston 4d
mcctrish @willaful Roger is standing right in front of her 👩‍❤️‍👨 4d
willaful @mcctrish I know! 3d
Clare-Dragonfly I‘m hoping that Molly/Roger will be endgame, and if it is, I just love how this romance is developing. I also love the way Mrs. Gaskell writes old maids! The Miss Brownings are delightful to read about! 3d
julieclair Preston‘s paying attention to Molly to mask his feelings for Miss Kirkpatrick, Molly‘s convincing herself that Osborne is swoon worthy, and meanwhile Roger just continues on being his kind, thoughtful, dependable self. Things are getting interesting! 2d
