CatLass007 Truth! That is completely understandable. 7h

willaful Could you take me off the tag list please? I'd really like to read it with you but I just don't seem to be doing it. :-( 6h
ElizaMarie Percy is lower than a dog! That doggie not liking him is a #RedFlag and just #AlllTheMoney IF she dies? Hmm... are we setting up for some future murder? Or is my mind just dark/gutter? And -- Why does she have to marry #RightBefore she is of age? Like if she was of age, would she have been able to make the will work? 6h
BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s exactly what I thought! He‘s twice her age, obviously he will be the first to go, unless…. 6h
mcctrish The fact he wants to marry her before she‘s 21 is a red flag! Wait 3 months and she can do her own will without that stupid #unclesmellingsalts having any say! Also Aunt Eleanor and her Count were giving me brief Udolpho vibes #iykyk 🤣🤣 she needs to put Marian in a legal document #percypig is going to run her out of town aka #lockherup 3h
Bklover @mcctrish Next thing you know Marian will suddenly be in an asylum. Soon following will be Laura. #percypigisanass 2h

I have had this book forever, but finally decided to read it because #hashtagbrigade is reading it. I will probably go back and forth between audio and print. Today it was audio on my #audiowalk. I really like it so far.

ElizaMarie I am switching between the two as well :) 7h

Ruthiella Yeah, he does lean into Marian‘s unattractiveness a bit too much for the modern reader. But Marian is awesome. I love her. (edited) 2d

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella she is awesome. I hope he‘s not really going to leave. 2d
ElizaMarie He can‘t leave yet! I won‘t. I‘m sure of it. 2d
Clare-Dragonfly I find Miss Halcombe funny but annoying. Stop hating on your own gender, lady!!! With the whole “these two women are identical” thing, I‘m wondering if there will be (or already was) a twin switch… 🤔 And that letter is definitely from Mrs. Catherick, calling it now. 2d
mcctrish @Ruthiella that paragraph almost made me spit out my drink as he rhapsodized on about her perfection and then hard stop on “oh crap she‘s ugly AF” and @Clare-Dragonfly I am not at all happy with her constant woman trashing 👎🏻👎🏻 2d
mcctrish @ElizaMarie he has to stay 2d
dabbe Marian outmans all men and women so far. She has no patience for what is expected in 19th-century women and for women who act out their submissive roles. Wonder how she'd get along with Sarah, Walter's sister? 🤔 2d
Bklover @dabbe I love Marian too! I can‘t even picture her and Sarah in the same room, although it might be entertaining! 2d
BarbaraJean @mcctrish I wonder how serious her woman-trashing is; whether there‘s a level of sarcasm to it. I‘m with @dabbe —I think she has no patience for societal expectations of women, and I read a bit of irony into the woman-trashing comments! 2d
Ruthiella @BarbaraJean I think she‘s definitely wielding some sarcasm there. 2d
Bookwormjillk I feel like there‘s so much an author can say about a character just by naming him Sir Percival Glyde 2d
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk sounds like a complete wanker 2d
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish exactly and that stands the test of time 2d
mcctrish I‘ve woken up and I‘m still thinking about the uncle and I don‘t know whether to laugh or scream at his theatrics #mynerves they are quite the role reversal household 2d
dabbe @Bklover 🤣🤩🤣 1d
dabbe @BarbaraJean 🎯🎯🎯! 1d
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish the uncle sounds like what I want to say sometimes listening to my husband chew at dinner. 1d
Leftcoastzen The uncle ! What a handful of drama he is ! Marian is something, I do think often she is being sarcastic with the women bashing thing as she seems highly capable. I love the writing so far ! 1d
julieclair @BarbaraJean @dabbe I didn‘t catch the sarcasm when reading it, but now that you suggest it, I totally see it!! 🎯 24h

I miss doing a #BookReport and miss @Cinfhen leading the way.

Colored Television was good on audio. I said “Oh, Jane!” numerous times. I‘m glad I stuck it out.

The Lost Passenger was enjoyable. Ultimately an immigrant story set in NYC. It has a lighter tone than most I‘ve read with this time and setting.

The Bell Jar was hard. After sitting on my shelf for years, I‘m grateful to finally have read it. #HashtagBrigade

tpixie Sad to see/read @Cinfhen isn‘t active this year. 3d

Th it s is my pretty edition of this month‘s #HashtagBrigade book. Though I‘m probably going to do as much as possible on audio with a Hoopla download from my library.

Looking forward to it. It‘s a re-read for me but a real favorite. I love getting lost in a chunky Victorian novel.

AllDebooks I adore Wilkie Collins. Looking forward to reading this one too. 😀 4d
AnnCrystal Pretty 🤩📚💝. 4d
Ruthiella @AllDebooks He‘s a favorite author of mine too. 😀 4d
Ruthiella @AnnCrystal It is a very attractive edition! 🤩 4d
