ElizaMarie I really liked the conversation of the appropriate times of when we should be reading the morning paper and the comment “my father abhorred hurry. But now we live in a constant rush“. --- I feel that! I hate HATE HATE rush! 1w

KAO This can‘t go well!! 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly He kidnapped her!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY. 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly I think it would ruin Maggie‘s reputation if they don‘t get married. So he‘s pretty much forced her hand at this point. 3mo

Leftcoastzen Uh oh ! Not fair! 3mo

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly I agree - I don't like this Stephen guy. He feels so entitled to do whatever, consenquences be damned. He claims to care for her, but then he puts her in a lot of situations a young lady shouldn't be in. AND doesn't listen when she tells him to stop/leave her alone. 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella it better be good! 5mo

Bookwormjillk Great pic. Also Laura calling out the fact that Walt and Marian make a better couple. Even she knows. Seems cruel to make her think she's making money with those drawings though. 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I feel like this could bite them in the butt 5mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead yup 5mo

mcctrish Everyone knows Walt and Marian belong together! 🤣if only she wasn‘t so ugly ☹️ The #manofaction really is an evil mastermind, Marian and Laura know #countporkchop needs to be stopped 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I am growing stronger in my belief that #percypig isn‘t really who he says he is! If he was born abroad it would be pretty easy to fake—either he switched places with the real Glyde child, or there was no real one, or he‘s illegitimate and just pretended to be legit when he came back. But how does Mrs. Catherick know his secret? And who is Anne‘s father? And could Mrs. Catherick not really be her mother? So many mysteries! 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yeah, I really don‘t like that they‘re lying to her about that ☹️ You‘d think they could have come up with some real work for her to do. 5mo

ElizaMarie Hmm.. I am confused about the ages here. Is Anne young and #PercyPig old enough to be her father? What if #CountPorkChop is the daddy? No, that wouldn't be it. Maybe the who #WhoIStheDaddy is a #RedHerring. This is 1/2 Telenovela 1/2 Jerry Springer 1/2 Maury (ha!) - You are NOT the father! 5mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead Maybe they are the perfect Victoria thruple. 😱😂 (edited) 5mo

Leftcoastzen Interesting reading but I need to find out the secret! 5mo

Ruthiella @ElizaMarie I think Percy is at least 15 years older than Ann or Laura. So he could be the father. But as Walt surmises, that seems unlikely based on his and Mrs. Catherick‘s behavior. 5mo

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella Me too!! The only parts I remember vividly from my first reading are Walt‘s exclamation of “the lady is ugly!” and Dear Uncle‘s parentheticals. I do NOT remember The Secret that is so central to the plot… 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5mo

Ruthiella @BarbaraJean What I remembered was the barest outline of the plot and the charming but dangerous Count Fosco. His was the only character name I remembered. 😂 5mo

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella The Count is pretty memorable! I never trusted #countporkchop on this reading, but I don't know if that's my memory or just that he's clearly dangerous from the beginning. When I correctly anticipate plot points, I'm never quite sure whether I'm picking up the clues Collins is giving us, or if I'm just remembering it from before and not realizing that I remember it. 😂 5mo

Marctgore I genuinely enjoyed it. I've been thinking about adapting your story into my comic style, and I would be thrilled to bring it to life in that format. I believe you'll be pleased with the results, and perhaps you'd even consider sharing it once it's done.
I'm a skilled digital artist with professional experience, and I offer paid services for my work. I don't work for free, but I assure you that the quality will be worth it. We can discuss pricing 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Marctgore I do believe you are in the wrong place 🤣 5mo

KAO @BarkingMadRead Nowhere is safe from these guys! 😂 5mo

mcctrish Apparently Marci Gore is new on IG too 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess we should be thankful when the scammers are so obvious, not like #percypig and #countporkchop (edited) 5mo

BarkingMadRead @kao @mcctrish at least put some effort in there 🤣 5mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m also the only actual person she‘s following, should I feel special? 5mo

mcctrish At least she‘s reading P & P - CoHo would be a serious red flag 5mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5mo

dabbe @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @KAO ... Here's what @Marctgore wrote on @Crinoline_Laphroaig's post re: P&P:
“Hi there! Your book is incredibly fascinating and impressive; it is genuinely unique and captivating. I'd be delighted to offer some suggestions to boost its popularity and success...“

I. Kid. You. Not. Apparently he/she thinks P&P was not written by Austen. 😳🤣😳

Here's the link to the entire post: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2847420 5mo

mcctrish @dabbe because they are reading p&p I wondered if they‘d find @Crinoline_Laphroaig but I didn‘t want to help them 😂 5mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5mo

dabbe With all this paleness and blood loss and (I don't know) seeing Mina and Dracula together (what a grotesque scene), why didn't they give her any transfusions like they did for Lucy? Did I miss something somewhere? And I got more annoyed this time around reading it. How dense can these men be? Seriously? I really don't think I have ever read ANYTHING (even a play) where the dramatic irony was basically on every single page. Wowza! 10mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe right? I was wondering the same? Are they waiting for the fangs? Insane 10mo

Clare-Dragonfly Mina shows how brilliant she is and how they can‘t get by without her again! 10mo

Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe Good point. Maybe they figure now that they know the reason for blood loss, it‘s better to go straight to the source? You‘d think they would at least discuss it though. 10mo

Cuilin @dabbe I was wondering this too and the only thing I came up with was the fact that it didn‘t work for Mina so they thought why bother. 🤷‍♀️ 10mo

Larkken @dabbe the way they infantalize but also ignore her is infuriating. You're right, the comparison in how the two ladies are treated by the men is eye opening. 10mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonly @Cuilin @Larkken ... agree 💯. I guess I was hoping that even though they knew it didn't ultimately work for Lucy that they'd still give Mina some blood to keep her going. And is it also bad of me to think that they didn't mind INJECTING blood into Lucy because they all loved her but not Mina? There definitely is a sexually perverse angle to this novel, too. 10mo
