TheAromaofBooks Still not through this chapter, why is it five million pages long in tiny print?! 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks we are in hell 🔥 hopefully the next one is short. But is it‘s not, please don‘t tell me. Ignorance is bliss 🤣 1mo

kwmg40 Fortunately, I had a long drive today and managed this chapter with the Librivox audiobook. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I STARTED READING THIS CHAPTER LAST NIGHT IN BED AND NOW IM HAVING DINNER AND I FINALLY FINISHED IT 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk 😆😆🤣🤣🤣 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Anyway, Emily is an idiot and nobody knows how to communicate in this book. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

Bklover Still. Not. Finished. Keep falling asleep. 😵😵‍💫 1mo

julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly 💯🎯 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly truth. They just talk in circles. 1mo

eeclayton I have no idea what Catherine Morland liked in this book 🤔 1mo

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I‘m really hoping it‘s something we haven‘t gotten to yet, because I‘m reallllly wondering how she made it far enough to love it 🤣 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @eeclayton I‘ve been thinking the same thing. Maybe she had an abridged version 😂 1mo

eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly That makes sense! Like The Princess Bride, the good parts version! 😂 @BarkingMadRead I certainly hope we'll get to the good parts soon! 1mo

peanutnine If I wasn't listening to the audiobook, I would have thrown the book during this chapter. So long and the gaslighting ugh 😵‍💫😤😡🙄😩 1mo

IndoorDame For someone who was promised to be super forthcoming with her opinions I found Beatrice pretty cryptic. I think “not Rebecca” is a positive grade from the new SIL, but I definitely wouldn‘t be sure if I were in Jan‘s (super unfashionable) shoes 8mo

Bookwormjillk Frustrating chapter (but in a good way.) Tell us what you know Beatrice! 8mo

julieclair I like Beatrice and hope that she and Jan will become friends. And maybe Beatrice will also answer all of our (uh, I mean Jan‘s) questions! 🤞 8mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig Jan is such a child. I'm surprised she didn't hide under her bed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly I like Beatrice! But I sure wish Jan would have asked her more questions. 8mo

Graciouswarriorprincess @Crinoline_Laphroaig lol! I agree but I like Beatrice. 8mo

willaful LOL at the pic! 8mo

ElizaMarie Beatrice holds all the answers! 8mo

Ruthiella Yes, little Tom is a budding serial killer. 😱 2y

willaful I'm not looking forward to her having to deal with this little sociopath. 😫 I'm guessing she's going to grow up quick. 2y

See All 16 Comments

BarkingMadRead @willaful seriously though! I think I‘ve been watching too many true crime shows lately or something, because I immediately went to serial killers with this one 😆😆 hopefully I‘m overreacting! 2y

willaful @BarkingMadRead I suppose the author wouldn't have made that particular connection and I guess it's *possible* he's just extremely spoiled and could improve but *shudder*. 2y

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead I immediately went to serial killer too! Though that‘s not how I‘m actually predicting the plot plays out. Clearly modern media has warped all our brains 😂😅🤣 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Ohhhhh boy. I had a feeling when the mother started describing her children that no one else would see them the way she does, but I was not envisioning this spoiled little sociopath! And Agnes has not made a good start at all by indulging his talk and attending to him over Mary Ann 😬 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t expect him to become a serial killer like Jack the Ripper, but if the book goes long enough for him to become an adult, I absolutely see him killing people. Maybe he‘ll become a duelist! His dad and uncle probably kill people too, just in accepted ways. Killing animals is literally one of the childhood signs of a budding serial killer. It‘s not a stretch on our parts! 2y

Librarybelle I was horrified! Poor Agnes…and completely agree with @Clare-Dragonfly !! 2y

AnnR Agnes was ill prepared to deal with children like this. She let Tom get the upper hand on the first day. What a sad set of circumstances for Agnes. This isn't going to go well. 2y

dabbe Tom reminds me of John Read in Jane Eyre. Maybe he'll grow up to be an alcoholic abuser, too. And the mother is stone cold as well as the house. I sense foreboding times ahead. 2y

mcctrish Jeez Louise what a second chapter 2y

Bookwormjillk I‘m just catching up, and what the heck? 2y

SamAnne Just catching up…a bunch of sociopaths…. 2y

julieclair Oh my! As if just killing the birds wasn‘t enough, he has to torture them too? And the father and uncle just laugh and say he‘s all boy? And even the mother says it‘s okay because they‘re just sparrows and not songbirds? What kind of awful family is this? 2y

AllDebooks What a vile family! 2y

A Secret Sisterhood: The Hidden Friendships of Austen, Bronte, Eliot and Woolf | Emma Claire Sweeney, Emily Midorikawa

Foreword and chapter 1: I skipped most of the intro because it seemed like there might be some spoilers. Here we meet Anne Sharpe, Jane‘s somewhat secret friend, who works for John and Fanny…. Also known as Jane‘s brother and SIL, Edward and Elizabeth….. #senseandsensibility #elizabethisfanny #nastyfamily #pemerlittens #chapteraday #jaaaaaames #couldntresist #imdonenow

IndoorDame One of the two intro sections was about the friendship of the co-authors of this book and how they met, not about the subjects so no spoilers there, and it was really sweet. 2y

See All 16 Comments

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame oh that‘s good, I read the part about how they met but it started to look like they were going to break down the chapters, so I stopped! 2y

TheBookHippie I never read them because too many times SPOILERS 😂 2y

Caroline2 I often skip intros too because I don‘t want any spoilers. 😆 2y

Ruthiella I hear you on SPOILERS! It doesn‘t matter that the book has been in print for 100 years…that doesn‘t mean I‘ve read it! 😣 2y

AllDebooks I avoid intros until I've read the book 2y

suvata I guess I‘m the odd one, because I read everything from cover to cover in the order it is presented to me. That includes intros, afterwords, and anything but an index. 2y

julieclair I‘m in ! Please add me to the tag list. And… I never read intros either. Have been burned by spoilers too many times. I go back and read them as an afterword instead. 2y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair I‘ll add you!! I‘m glad to see it‘s not just me that skips the intro! 2y

suvata Chapter 1 - why in the world would Cassandra and Fanny burn the letters they got from Jane? It is a good thing that Fannie left behind her journals so we can learn a bit about Jane and Anne‘s relationship 2y

BarkingMadRead @suvata it blows my mind! 2y

julieclair @suvata Goid question! I have always assumed it was because they were trying to keep their family life private, and and maybe also to hide any less-than-flattering parts of Jane‘s personality from the public. 2y

suvata @julieclair Personally, I think she may have been gay and they don‘t want to admit it. That was so forbidden at that time. (edited) 2y

julieclair @suvata I wondered about that, too. Could she have been in love with Ann Sharpe? That is definitely something the family would have wanted to keep hidden in those days. 2y

CoffeeNBooks @Lcsmcat You shared this tip with me awhile back, and I finally tried it, and it totally worked! Thank you!! 6y

DivineDiana @Lynnsoprano 🤷‍♀️🙂📚 6y

DivineDiana @Lcsmcat @CoffeeNBooks Thank you! I have a hairdryer, so will try this first! 6y

DivineDiana @erzascarletbookgasm Where do you buy a label remover? 6y

DivineDiana @Kshakal Thank you! I thought they were similar to the ones on the cover! 6y

erzascarletbookgasm I don‘t know where you can get that in the US. You can also use lighter fluid (like Zippo). Pat a decent amount of the fluid onto the price tag, peel it off using a sharp blade or paper cutter. It also works. 6y

DivineDiana @erzascarletbookgasm Thank you! ❤️ 6y
