Clare-Dragonfly I STARTED READING THIS CHAPTER LAST NIGHT IN BED AND NOW IM HAVING DINNER AND I FINALLY FINISHED IT 12h

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk 😆😆🤣🤣🤣 11h

Clare-Dragonfly Anyway, Emily is an idiot and nobody knows how to communicate in this book. 11h

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣🤣 11h

Bklover Still. Not. Finished. Keep falling asleep. 😵😵‍💫 11h

Lark Rise to Candleford (Penguin Modern Classics) | Flora Thompson

Ok #hashtagbrigade you have voted and here are the winners! I tried to make sure we are only reading a chapter a day, so a few of the start dates are a little weird, we may be able to play around with it as we go, but here are the winning books! I‘m super excited about this line up!!!
Everyone is welcome! I have a master list that I will use before we start each book, and will only tag you for each book if you reply to each announcement.. ⬇️

BarkingMadRead Just remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read the post until you‘ve read that day‘s chapter! 18h

Daisey I completely forgot to vote, but I‘m looking forward to some of these choices! 18h

AllDebooks Great books to look forward to 😊 18h

Ruthiella Awesome! Call wait. 😅 18h

Deblovestoread Great list! I‘m going to do better in 2025 🤞🏼 17h

Librarybelle Great list! Looking forward to these!! 17h

eeclayton Great list! I was absent for most of this year's books, but hopefully I'll be able to join you much more in 2025. 17h

Bookwormjillk Love this list! Thank you! 16h

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead I think I asked to be removed from your master tag list, but it looks like you haven‘t and I‘m glad. Because I‘ve changed my mind, keep me on your list and I‘ll see what I can work into my list. A couple are free on Audible and I‘ve put a library hold on The Bell Jar. But I may decide to read a book all at once rather than a chapter a day. That seems to be less overwhelming. 16h

AnneCecilie I would love to join for some of these 16h

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 ohhh I‘m sorry, I probably removed you from the current list instead of the master! 16h

BarkingMadRead @AnneCecilie I‘ll add you to the master list, you‘ll only be tagged before we start each book, unless you ask to be tagged for the book we are currently reading, if that makes sense 🤣 15h

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 you should definitely read at whatever pace works best for you! (edited) 15h

AnneCecilie Thank you 😊 that‘s make sense 15h

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead It‘s okay. ❤️ Please make sure I‘m on the master list. And if anyone can remember the product for which the tagline was “It‘s a woman‘s prerogative to change her mind,” it will be appreciated. 15h

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! There are some good ones/ones I've been meaning to read here!! 15h

TheAromaofBooks However, I cannot believe I am already saving things in my Litsy 2025 folder 😑 Where is time going!? 15h

mcctrish Love it and I can‘t wait #toptierhashtags 15h

Cuilin Fabulous list. Some I haven‘t read at all. Yay!! 13h

quietjenn I also forgot to vote, but I'm down with many of these! 13h

rubyslippersreads I‘m very excited, especially about Lark Rise to Candleford. I love the TV series, so I‘m really looking forward to reading the book. #itsmyoneweakness 12h

BarkingMadRead @rubyslippersreads I‘ve never seen it, but I‘ll check it out after we finish the book! 12h

dabbe Yahoo! Looking forward to reading these with this incredible group! Thanks for all you do, @BarkingMadRead! 🧡🍁🤎 11h

julieclair What a fabulous list! Thanks, @BarkingMadRead , for your dedication in leading this group. Reading is better with the #hashtagbrigade ! 11h

Bklover Oh yay!!!! 11h

KAO What a fun list! Thanks for organizing this! 7h

AnishaInkspill This is an amazing!! list but I can't do a chapter a day. I have most of these books, but pls tag me to #hashtagbridade as I would enjoy following your posts 💛 💛 2h

dabbe I also have a question: with all the descriptions about nature (verdant verdure, of course), how come Radcliffe never describes Emily's face and eyes being puffy from all that wailing? 🤔😂🤩 11h

ElizaMarie @dabbe yes!!!! I‘m super curious what she looks like —- I wonder if she is an ugly cryer!? (edited) 9h

julieclair Surely she‘s a pretty crier…. like that could be possible… 😂 9h

dabbe @julieclair 😂 I also worry about Emily's physical heart: it's rapturous seeing all the verdant verdure and then completely devastated recalling Valancourt ... she's going to push herself into a heart attack! 😂 9h

dabbe @ElizaMarie Well, since she's so beautiful and dutiful and writes gorgeous sonnets, perhaps she cries beautifully and gorgeously as well. 😂 9h

AllDebooks At least we're picking up pace now. Although I have concerns about Emily's 'free-flowing tears'. Maybe Venice should be on high alert with flood warnings. 🤔 2d

mcctrish The hashtag #nocrying does not apply, as @AllDebooks says ⬆️ the tears were free-flowing #floodwarningsareineffect at two different parts the way things were being described - coming across the army and the revellers outside the window I honest to god thought Valencourt was going to be part of the group 🤣🤣 that would make this a gothic whatever it is 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I 💯 thought so too! Ugh I really thought there was no crying, this is what happens when I start the chapter early and finish it in the evening 🤣 2d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead Emily really needs to hydrate 2d

Clare-Dragonfly In case you wondered whether Montoni married Aunt Scumbag for her money, he apparently doesn‘t even like her! 2d

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly If she wasn't such a #scmb, I'd almost feel sorry for her, waiting up for her hubby to come home as he ditches her on their first night at his estate. 😂 1d

AllDebooks @mcctrish Regarding V's attention to E, #lovebombed comes to mind 🚩💣🚩 3d

mcctrish @AllDebooks I skip all the sonnets unless they are < 4 lines #justsayno and yes Emily has been #lovebombed between V and her aunt pulling a 180° with her opinions I almost understand why she cries so much, she never gets a moment to process anything (edited) 3d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I 💯 skimmed those sonnets 🤣 3d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead so did I 😅 3d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead for sure #LifeIsTooShortToReadBadSonnets 3d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead the u-turns from this aunt are making my head spin! 4d

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks she‘s exhausting! 4d

mcctrish @AllDebooks I‘ve got whiplash 4d

mcctrish Sigh. Sob. You must go. Wait, listen to this. Sigh. Sob. Don‘t ever forget me. You must forget me. Sigh. Sob. #putafeatherinhishatandcallhimmacaroni 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Definitely saw Marconi forbidding the marriage coming! There is a lot of sighing and fainting in this chapter. There is no way I would be slogging through this book without the #hashtagbrigade! I *will* learn what Catherine Morland gets so excited about! (edited) 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I just realized I got his name wrong in a completely different way 😂 Montoni! 3d

Clare-Dragonfly Also! Doesn‘t Valancourt have a first name? He calls Emily by her name all the time but she doesn‘t use his name in dialogue. Did Radcliffe just not feel like coming up with a first name? 3d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think they‘ve mentioned a first name? I‘m not sure! 3d

dabbe This is the perfect kind of book for me right now. No matter how bad things are or seem to be today, I am quite grateful to not be Emily in the late 1500's with absolutely no money and no say in what she can/can't do in her life. #yikes #andyesshecrieswaytoomuch #scmb 3d

TheAromaofBooks The aunt being like “suck it up or people will judge you for not being able to get over your completely inappropriate boyfriend“ like 48 hours ago you were totally on his team?!?! Geezy 3d

AnishaInkspill yeah the uncle 3d

Bklover And now they‘re both crying. And dear obedient Emily will now be ordered around by Macaroni. 3d

mcctrish This chapter actually worked for me. Auntie makes my head spin with her saying one thing and then taking a 180° 5d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish auntie has things finally getting interesting! 5d

AllDebooks Finally, something more yhan weeping and walks, walks and weeping! 5d

Ruthiella @AllDebooks Just wait until she starts spontaneously writing sonnets. (edited) 5d

AllDebooks @Ruthiella 😅 5d

CatLass007 Would you please remove me from your tag list for #HashtagBrigade? Everyone is great but I want to cut back on some of my buddy reads. Thanks 😚 5d

Clare-Dragonfly I had a hard time following all the dialogue in this but I got the gist. Specifically that Auntie is a social-climbing moron. 5d

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Can I add “bitch“ to your most excellent comment? As in #socialclimbingmoronbitch ... #scmb for short (which could also read as “scumbag“). 😄 4d

BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 4d

Bklover First of all, why does Valencourt keep showing up like a creeper? He always appears from behind a tree or something. Second, Auntie is a scheming witch but at least she‘s interesting- I think she‘s going to be a fun one to hate! 4d

julieclair @Bklover I freely admit I am hating Auntie and enjoying it! As @dabbe says, #scmb . 😂 4d

dabbe @julieclair YES! #scmb You know, it's better just thinking it as “scum“! 🤩😂🤗 4d

Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe Bahahaha, perfect! 😂 4d

ElizaMarie @bklover! Yes!!! Such a #SneakySneak didn‘t we learn he has good breeding? Why are you such a #WeirdoCreeper !? 4d

ElizaMarie Also. I am numb to tears and weeping…. 4d
