Ruthiella Even though I have read this before, I don‘t remember Percy‘s secret. I‘m on tenterhooks! 🫣 1w

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella it better be good! 1w
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. 1w
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I feel like this could bite them in the butt 1w
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 1w
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! 1w
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. 1w
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! 1w
Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead Maybe they are the perfect Victoria thruple. 😱😂 (edited) 1w
Leftcoastzen Interesting reading but I need to find out the secret! 1w
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. 1w
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… 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1w
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. 😂 1w
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. 😂 1w
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
1w
BarkingMadRead @Marctgore I do believe you are in the wrong place 🤣 1w
KAO @BarkingMadRead Nowhere is safe from these guys! 😂 1w
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) 1w
BarkingMadRead @kao @mcctrish at least put some effort in there 🤣 1w
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m also the only actual person she‘s following, should I feel special? 1w
mcctrish At least she‘s reading P & P - CoHo would be a serious red flag 1w
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1w
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

mcctrish @dabbe because they are reading p&p I wondered if they‘d find @Crinoline_Laphroaig but I didn‘t want to help them 😂 1w
BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1w
dabbe @mcctrish Good thinking! I just let the entire cat out of the bag! 🤩🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 1w
dabbe @BarkingMadRead Now that I've just reread the comments to you and the #hashtagbrigade, I believe by they also thought you wrote THE WOMAN IN WHITE! 🤣🤣🤣 1w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks for real! Like he was just a footnote 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo
mcctrish That‘s was so much blather for nothing 3mo
Bookwormjillk This is the kind of chapter that really makes me not like this book. Emily is about to get to the bottom of things but oh wait there‘s music 🙄 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly All the hints about Emily looking like the marchioness! But she couldn‘t exactly have a secret kid, could she?! 3mo
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought at first, until they started talking about her face turning black 🤮 so bizarre 3mo
AllDebooks Anyone else losing count of all the Counts? 😅 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead I thought the same thing!!! 3mo
mcctrish @AllDebooks too many counts to count (edited) 3mo
AllDebooks @mcctrish far too many 😅 3mo

mcctrish Honestly! D “I can‘t tell you, you tell me” E “no I can‘t tell you, you tell me” FFS you both can rot! Also V was whoring and gambling! What a chapter! Pagan dancing for the win 3mo

AllDebooks If this was published now, it would be a novella once a skilled editor got busy with their red pen 3mo
peanutnine "God forbid anyone tells a story immediately" ??? so true. And all these hints to what she saw in the letter, just tell us!!! 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly Why the HECK can‘t Emily just say “oh that picture? It was my dad‘s.” It‘s not like she has any more information than that! 3mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh man, now I just don't know who Emily is going to marry! All her choices are terrible! I'm kind of leaning towards Henri; at least he hasn't been a stalker yet 😂 3mo
Bookwormjillk On one hand this chapter was frustrating because of the non-storytelling but on the other hand at least the picture came back up and V is finally here. On to part 4! #WeAreGettingThere 3mo
Bklover @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You nailed it! 3mo

zezeki I'm really curious about the dog, he was only mentioned once since arriving to the castle. 😅 4mo
Bookwormjillk Noodle gang 😂 4mo
Clare-Dragonfly The noodle gang 😂😂😂 4mo
peanutnine Annette is definitely my favorite character, her stories are ridiculous but so entertaining, especially when she was sworn to secrecy. Also the line "But the faculty of speech was never long withheld from Annette" had me laugh out loud ? 4mo

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! 5mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe right? I was wondering the same? Are they waiting for the fangs? Insane 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly Mina shows how brilliant she is and how they can‘t get by without her again! 5mo
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. 5mo
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. 🤷‍♀️ 5mo
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. 5mo
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. 5mo

A blustery rainy day is the perfect time to curl up inside the camper (beside the water) and read about murder on an island, mostly during a storm. #hmmmmm #questionablechoices #doingitanyway
