AllDebooks This was very frustrating. Spill the T Radclyffe 😕 1mo
mcctrish At present I‘d say the mystery is how anyone reads this 1mo
AllDebooks @mcctrish so much repetition!! 1mo
mcctrish @AllDebooks every time there is a chance of something happening - nope! We see gypsies, ooo what‘s going to happen? Nothing. Dad holding miniature portrait - nothing, papers to read, burn em and nothing 1mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂 1mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s a lot of words and a lot of crying for nothing 1mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I don‘t mind it when the chapters are short, but sometimes I see 23 minutes in the chapter on my kindle and I want to cry right along with her. A lot of people love this book so hopefully something other than dying parents and crying happens soon. 1mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m reading on serial and when it says the chapter continues to more than one section I too want to cry 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t believe it said she read a bit but won‘t tell us what that bit is!!! So unfair. And auntie… she‘s obnoxious but she‘s not wrong about people who look good not necessarily being good. 1mo
Bklover I‘m hoping Auntie spices things up a bit! I do think, though, that Auntie is going to cause more crying and fainting. There has to be some excitement coming soon! 1mo
eeclayton @mcctrish same! I would never get through this if it wasn't for the #hashtagbrigade ! 1mo
eeclayton I was actually proud of Emily for not saying yes to V right away. But this is about the only positive thing I can say about the story so far. 1mo
julieclair So. Much. Crying. I switched to audio and it has helped me to enjoy the story more. (Not sure why…) 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Heck yeah, I want to know! 🙋🏻‍♀️ 1mo
Bklover I certainly hope she reads them! Or at least lets us read them!😁😉 1mo
mcctrish @Bklover @Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly why bring them up if we aren‘t getting to know what‘s in them! Mysterious woman, mysterious papers 🤔 1mo
dabbe Pops also has memories of a woman who is not Emily's mother. And he recognized the name of the person who owned the creepy house/castle/haunt/whatever-the-heck-you-want-to-call-it. Here comes the Gothic! I also vote to add the word “sublime“ to “verdant“ and “verdure“. And am I awful to say that if I see any more scenery, I am going to 🤢? Oh, and great to send Pops on an adventure when the guy can barely walk. #wtf? 1mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe so many mysteries, and yessss sublime is also overused 🤣 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - While I agree, in fairness Dorothea went on and on and on about how what she wanted from marriage was to learn from/help someone “wiser“ than her. I think she's starting to realize that that isn't a great balance for a marital relationship... although sadly I don't think she's realized that Casaubon isn't really that wise 🙄 2y
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks very good point! 2y
quirkyreader I always thought that Casaubon wanted something “wild” that he could tame in his own “image” of womanhood. 2y
BarkingMadRead @quirkyreader I get the feeling he wasn‘t expecting any push back! 2y
Bklover @quirkyreader Yes! Oh, and young. She must be young. They‘re easier to train. 🙄 2y
Bklover Oh, and didn‘t he want a child? He says he wanted to leave a “copy of himself”. 2y
peanutnine @Bklover that phrase gave me icky chills 2y
Bklover @peanutnine Yes, me too, and for several reasons!!! 2y
CoffeeNBooks @TheAromaofBooks It made me very angry that Casaubon just wanted to replace his secretary with Dorothea, but you make a good point- perhaps Dorothea gave him the wrong impression of what she wanted. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly That lady is definitely not pretty enough to be Rosamond 😂 I‘m picturing Rachel Weisz. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I agree! And Rachel would have been great! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Isn‘t “Marmion” the book that Gilbert goes to ridiculous lengths to give to Helen? The Brontes must have really liked it. 2y
i.besteph I want to know what was on that paper too! 2y
