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 🫏 19h
Ruthiella Mrs. Gibson is the limit. So incredibly selfish. 19h

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 19h
Cuilin @mcctrish yes. Dr Gibson needs to stand up for Molly!! 18h
Bookwormjillk Mr Gibson roaring for lunch instead of standing up to his wife grrrr. 18h
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 17h
mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks he just wants to come home FOR ONCE and have a meal waiting for him #isottoomuchtoask 17h
TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - In fairness, it literally is Mrs. G's job and the main reason he got married😂 15h
mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks she‘s banned cheese from the house #thatwasthefirstclue 15h
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 12h

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. 2d
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

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

#weekendreads

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.

I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.

The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .

KadaGul You are FULLY BOOKED 📚🤓📚 3d
Ruthiella @KadaGul I am! 😅 3d

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
See All 11 Comments
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! 4d
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! 4d
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! 3d

Hey, Buddy! | Mona Miller

My Buddy read stack is a bit bonkers right now with #europacollective #camplitsy #sundaybuddyread #littensloveromance #littensloveacotar which should maybe morph into #littenslovesjm and #hashtagbrigade I also have an audio book on the go just for fun. They all have different due dates so it‘s manageable and most are light and easy

Karisa If anyone can tackle that stack, it‘s you! Just finished Wild Dark Shore. It‘s beautiful😍 4d
mcctrish @Karisa I can‘t wait to start it today 4d

AllDebooks I got distracted, Iain Glenn is a very handsome man. 5d

peanutnine Wait, I feel like I missed something. How do we know this Preston guy? 5d
BarkingMadRead @peanutnine we don‘t 🤷🏻‍♀️ we just met him today. I‘m just getting bad vibes 5d
peanutnine @BarkingMadRead okay cool, just making sure. There are so many characters to keep track of I thought I missed one 😅 5d
Ruthiella @peanutnine I think he was mentioned briefly earlier as the land manager for this estate who had done Mrs. Kirkpatrick favors like providing her with game or produce from the estate. @BarkingMadRead I agree, this guy feels skeevy.😬 5d
mcctrish Mr Preston is in love with Miss Kirkpatrick? I‘m not sure #mommydearest #notarealclare is going to approve and is Mr Gibson getting cold feet ? I hope so, this marriage is giving #titanicvibes 5d
AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead possibly so 😔 5d
willaful Mr. Gibson certainly has plenty of reason for cold feet! But is there anything he can do about it now?

I kept being so uncomfortable every time Molly was allowed to be alone with this guy... what happened to being so careful of her, hmmm?
5d
Bookwormjillk We certainly shouldn‘t trust Preston 5d
Clare-Dragonfly Yes, he‘s a land agent—I had to CTRL+F his name but I did find that 😂 5d
ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly gotta love technology - I had gottrm confused too! 4d

willaful Definitely got some Emma echoes in this chapter, with Lord Whassisface being so proud of his “matchmaking.“ If only NotClare was like Mrs. Weston!

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful My thoughts exactly! 5d
willaful @Bookwormjillk I'm wondering if she actually going to pull off making him happy, just because she's generally so good at it. I'm honestly surprised he's not sick of her already, given he's not much for demonstrations of affection, but then again, he has been single for a long time... 5d
Ruthiella @willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I thought of Emma too! 😂 And yes to @mcctrish @ElizaMarie SO MANY RED FLAGS 🚩‼️ ⛔️⚠️🚨 5d

Lcsmcat Any Keeping Up Appearances fans here? Because Hyacinth! 😂🤣😂 7d
Cuilin I‘m not sure I would want to get between Mr. Gibson and his cheese. Also, I‘m trying to be understanding of Hyacinth, as women in the 19th century if they were not ever so slightly manipulative, they could be coerced into anything. I‘m not sure cheese is the hill I‘d want to die on though. 7d
See All 21 Comments
mcctrish Good lord help us all from Hyacinth! Is it too late to call the whole thing off? Let‘s just find Molly a husband instead of 7d
Cuilin @Lcsmcat bouquet (Bucket) residence Lady of the house speaking”. I keep thinking of her too. (edited) 7d
BarkingMadRead @cuilin I would definitely choose a better hill 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7d
willaful Cheese is the hill I would die on, as in I will die for cheese!
7d
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin you are so right about the cheese. 7d
peanutnine Uh oh Roger is paying attention to Molly....the squire would not approve 7d
ElizaMarie @willaful I‘ll die right next to you —- #ForCheese #CheeseIsLife 7d
ElizaMarie Does Molly even need a mother? Isn‘t Mr Gibson too late in thinking this would be “good” for her? Excuses? 7d
BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie yeah I think he waited a smidge too long 🤣 7d
willaful @ElizaMarie I once told someone that I don't trust people who don't like cheese and I'd say I was justified! 7d
Clare-Dragonfly Some women are dripping with diamonds / Some women are dripping with pearls / Lucky me, lucky me, look at what I‘m dripping with / Little girls! (edited) 7d
eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree that Mr G is rather late. It's weird that he tends to (both him and Mrs K actually) treat Molly like a little child but expect her to behave in a mature way. Also, Lydia Bennet had been married for over a year when she was Molly's age. Not that she'd be a good role model, I'm just comparing life stages. 7d
eeclayton @Cuilin manipulation is one thing, but what really bugs me is that she doesn't want to invite her own daughter to the wedding so that she can't outshine her. Just awful. And then there's the matter of the cheese!
Come to think of it, I wonder what kind of person Cynthia will turn out to be.
7d
Lcsmcat @Clare-Dragonfly 😂🤣 7d
Cuilin @eeclayton yeah not wanting your daughter around because she might outshine you, is problematic. 7d
Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly 🧡😂🧡😂 6d
rubyslippersreads @Lcsmcat That‘s exactly who I thought of. 6d

mcctrish @Cuilin you said it!!!! Roger is a star ⭐️ #gettingcinderellavibes 1w
willaful Ugh, he doesn't know DIDDLY about her actual character! At least we don't have to call her Clare anymore. #UghHyacinth

Roger is a sweetheart. I'm kind of irritated by Molly, but I tend to hate gooey father-daughter relationships. It's not really her fault she's been spoiled.

Bklover @willaful I‘m with you on the gooey relationship with Dad. And Dad appears to be an idiot! It‘s not like he‘s poor and marrying for money! 1w

Bookwormjillk I feel like Hyacinth is such a passive aggressive thing to name a character you don‘t like. No offense to any Hyacinths out there. 7d
julieclair Oh Gibson, Gibson…. SUCH a bad idea. Why didn‘t you ask us first? We‘d have told you not to do it. 😵‍💫 6d
rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk The only Hyacinth I can think of is Hyacinth Bucket. 😆 6d
