mcctrish I am thanking the goddess for Becky, I‘m sure Amelia is lovely but that letter re.graduation 🤢 from finishing school 🙄#teambecky 1y
Cuilin I‘m holding out a little on Becky. I mean throwing a book away. However I like her sass 💁♀️ 1y
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin 🤣🤣 I mean, it was a dictionary 🤷🏻♀️ 1y
dabbe I hope that every time I see Amelia's name, I'm not going to think “Bedelia“ in the back of my mind. She seems too Pollyanna-ish to me. I laughed out loud at the audacity of Becky tossing the dictionary out the window! 📕 1y
julieclair Becky is going to be quite entertaining! 1y
Bookwormjillk Lol #Teambecky here too. 666 pages 🤣 1y
willaful Chapter one makes me wonder if Frances Hodgson Burnett was inspired a bit by this. The sister schoolmistresses are very similar to those in A Little Princess. Also some name similarity, though the characters are very different!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Little Princess 1y
Little PrincessBklover @willaful I see what you mean. Now I‘m going to drag out The Little Princess. 😉 1y
Bklover I‘m already getting attached to Becky. I was feeling sorry for her until the departure scene, when I realized she can quite take care of herself. I did feel a bit sorry for Jemima, though, as she risked her sister‘s wrath to sneak Becky a dictionary! 1y
Bklover @dabbe I do love Amelia Bedelia! Remember when she was camping and they told her to go pitch the tent and she threw it over a cliff?! 😂🤣 1y
Bklover I think I‘m a chapter behind already- didn‘t realize we were doing two a day! Will go catch up right now. 1y
eeclayton I'm with @Cuilin on this one. Becky will definitely be an interesting and entertaining character to watch, but whether she's likeable, we'll see. 1y
SamAnne Oh I want to join! 1y
Cuilin @willaful I thought this. I kept seeing Maureen Lippman and Miriam Margoyles as they played the sisters in the tv adaptation of The Little Princess. 1y
BarkingMadRead @SamAnne I will add you! @Bklover yes, two chapters a day so we will finish this month! 1y
Cuilin @eeclayton keeping an 👁️ on Becky. #havemydoubts 1y
BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I think she will keep things interesting!! 1y
JamieArc I was “meh” after 25 pages and lots of footnotes but then she threw the dictionary and I was like “Okay, I see you. I can get with this.” 😂 1y
BarkingMadRead @JamieArc I feel that in my soul 1y
