Librarybelle Quite a lot to digest in Part 1! 7mo
BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle I‘m thinking part two might need multiple posts 🤣 that was a lot (edited) 7mo
Librarybelle 😂 7mo
Bookwormjillk I read this not knowing what was a dream and what was real. I‘ve bailed on this book in the past, but I am determined to finish with the #HashtagBrigade 7mo
5feet.of.fury Poor Coco. I‘m glad Aunt Cora is coming back. I‘m so confused with the Mason/Cosway family tree. 7mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle it was a lot! @Bookwormjillk I know that I read this in high school, and I remember that whole 1st part, and being confused about the races/race relations & our teacher thinking we were all very stupid. Which if she‘s the teacher, teaching us & we all did not understand I think that‘s a her problem lol 7mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury definitely a her problem! 7mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury Mason is Antoinette‘s stepdad, but I didn‘t like her saying nee Cosway, because I always thought that was for marriage 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly I found this quick to read but difficult to follow. If the present-tense portion near the end was a dream, were the other present-tense portions dreams? But I don‘t remember what they were anymore. I guess I‘m following the broad strokes of Antoinette‘s life, though. 7mo
dabbe Rhys writes as if she expects us to know and understand all about British and French colonialism in the Caribbean and the so-called pecking order determined by how much black blood was in you. I admit to having read some study guides for this one, and it helped tremendously. I think the strange man at the end of Part 1 (that Mason alludes to) is Rochester. #oytothevey! 😳 (edited) 7mo
willaful @BarkingMadRead Maybe it's one of those usages that changed? Like in Austen and other books of the time, “stepmother“ and “mother-in-law“ often seem to be switched, IIRC.

@dabbe Yes, it's frustrating! I'm confused too -- and have NO memory of having read this before, though I know I did. Too young no doubt.
7mo
mcctrish I forgot what day we were meeting 🤦🏻‍♀️ this first part felt ripe with ominous vibes and while I get the white negro and black Englishman taunts I hadn‘t realized how angry they were ( although Tia not coming back with the stolen dress should have clued me in) poor Patrick ( and horse and parrot) what in earth will part 2 bring 😳 this is a wild fast ride. The mom was a piece of work but her yelling “no “ when Antoinette went to visit 💔 7mo
mcctrish I am curious what was the matter with Patrick ( some kind of palsy ?) and Antoinette was ill for 6 weeks not from being hit in the head from a stone ( thx Tia) but because her mother tried to kill her?! 7mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yeah that whole part of her being sick kind of went over my head. Really crazy 6mo
Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury a her problem for sure! 6mo
rubyslippersreads Not only is Part One full of drama and tragedy, I feel like what happens in Jane Eyre is hanging over everything. #PoorCoco #foreshadowing #impendingdoom (edited) 6mo
julieclair What a sad early life. Soooo much going on in these chapters. The noise in the bamboo had me wanting to scream “get out of the house”! And the mom‘s rejection of her… just heartbreaking. 6mo
currentlyreadinginCO @rubyslippersreads agreed about what happens in Jane Eyre hanging over the book! 6mo

Bookwormjillk Just finished this one. It‘s starting to make sense a little now 🤪 1y
willaful I'm enjoying the read, but I think it's definitely lacking the deeper shades of characterization Austen brings to her books. The bad guys and good guys are all so obvious and they've all recognized each other and made friends. 1y
mcctrish Lady Catherine is quite the pushover #hellhathnofury and all that for Miss Steele, I wish one of the gentlemen ( Darcy or the Colonel) would just yell at their aunt “for god‘s sake woman, you have stirred up a hive of trouble over idle gossip put in your ear by conniving hussies” and call it a day (edited) 1y

Me, on my way to tell my best friend not to read this book under any circumstance right now. I am not kidding that I‘m utterly broken. I spent the last 1/3 trying to not sob out loud. Maybe it would be better in summer with a glass of wine, but I‘m chilled, curled in bed, fighting off depression lately (it struck during retrograde and won‘t let me go), then there‘s this enemies to lovers storyline that undid me. I‘m 💔& I may never fully recover.

Amandajoy Did you finish it? 2y
mrsmarch @Amandajoy Yes! Devoured it in under 10 hours and that included sleeping and getting the kids to school in the morning! 2y
mrsmarch I don‘t want to give the impression it‘s a bad book. It‘s a very _good_ book. But around the 60% Nora starts to hammer herself in to her own bespoke box of unhappiness because she thinks that‘s all she deserves and my heart couldn‘t take it (edited) 2y
mrsmarch And I was upset because Charlie was going to _let_ her because he thought she‘d be happier without him and I wanted to smack him but I was so so sad for both of them 2y

#ShowSomeLove Broken heart

I think that everyone know this story and I don't need to write how the story broke my heart and I cried. Hazel's mother was so brave. This kind of books are important for read!

My absence recently has been because I lost my kitty cat of 16 years and it‘s hit pretty hard for a pet loss. She was my first baby girl. She is now traveling to the Halls of Mandos in Valinor. Her journey is over and I‘ll forever miss her!! I love you #furbabies #rip #arwen #heartbroken

WARNING!! BIG SPOILER!!!

This page, this awful page is making me bawl my eyes out!! Poor Manchee 😭😭

Aaron is such an evil damn man!! Goodness I don't know if I've ever hated a character as much as I do him.

This book, man. I have never read anything like it. But I'll save my review for when I finish the book.

InBooksILive @That-Bookish-Hiker yeah my eyes were instantly watering! I was just thinking while reading it "no, he's not gonna leave his poor, faithful puppy with that evil man. He wouldn't do that." But he does that ??? 6y
night_shift Omg. This was the worst. I tweeted Ness that he broke my damn heart. Poor Manchee. 6y
