Bookwormjillk So today I learned there are only supposed to be 30 chapters in this book but for some reason mine has 50 something. And that's why I am so behind all the time. I feel so relieved. I thought I was imagining having read each day's chapter 😂Anyway I'm caught up now. 3h

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk that‘s crazy! 3h

TheAromaofBooks It was kind of interesting to hear about the Oscar Wilde trial from someone of the same era, but completely disconnected from it, kind of like we are with any Hollywood drama that comes up. 9mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks yes! That‘s a perfect comparison, I felt the same way! 9mo

Bookwormjillk The laundry parts were soothing to me and got me to finally put away the towels that have been sitting in the basket for two weeks. Loved the little hidden treasures from her mom. 9mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk the letters from her mom 💗 “ they deserved a wider public than that one young daughter” So sweet. 9mo

Cuilin Also, what is wrong with the word Plimsolls? 9mo

mcctrish My complete takeaway from this chapter :
Ta rah rah boom de ay
I met a girl today
I paid her fifty cents
To go behind the fence
Her mother was surprised
To see her tummy rise
Her father jumped for joy
It was a baby boy #isangthisandimnot100yearsold 9mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 9mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 🤣🤣 9mo

dabbe @Cuilin I marked that quote as a keeper to go in my reading journal! 🩶🩷🩶 9mo

dabbe @mcctrish I so needed this today! 😂😂😂 9mo

mcctrish @dabbe pretty sure it was the inspiration for 🎶Jack and Diane🎶 9mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish thanks for the ear worm 🤣🤣 9mo

dabbe @mcctrish OMG, you almost made me pee my pants. Translates to: you almost made me read the Pirates of Penzance. 🤩😂🤩 9mo

mcctrish @dabbe 🤣🤣😆 9mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead one ear worm begets another 9mo

willaful I was sad about the two men who lived together being harrassed. What's that line about history rhyming? 😒 9mo

Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 I expected some sort of blah blah blah because it was such a long chapter but instead we got Jerry Springer 2y

currentlyreadinginCO The problem w this book is that no one calls anyone by their name and I always have to reread everything to find out what happened! It took me a couple rereads to understand who was locked out and where everyone was at the end of this chapter 😂😂. But despite my constant complaining I'm actually really enjoying this and don't think I would have gotten this far w.o the buddy read, SO 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2y

BarkingMadRead @currentlyreadinginCO my allergies are so bad today that it took me like an hour to actually get through it. I had to keep going back and reading it again. 2y

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk WORD. 2y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I now am going back to nighttime reading with appropriate beverages…. This was ..😵‍💫🤪 ALOT. 2y

dabbe @TheBookHippie The nighttime beverages make ALL the difference. 😂 #whichmanisthepan #panpanpan #paniepanpanie #myheadhurts 2y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe so confusing 🤣 I just let it go, I figured they wouldn‘t be around long enough to matter 🤣 2y

TheAromaofBooks As usual, spot-on meme usage here 😂 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks #mygooglegameisstrong 2y

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤩😍😂 2y

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks absolute truth 🤣🤣 2y

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk this is Jerry Springer on steroids 🤣🤣 2y

mcctrish @TheBookHippie I wish I had enough money to order a few cases of champagne to drink this with ( some blini and caviar would be a nice touch too) 2y

TheBookHippie @mcctrish I don‘t like Vodka but it‘s probably what they drank 🤪👀😅 2y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish there‘s not enough champagne in the world for that chapter 🤣 it was so chaotic! 2y

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead honestly I read this so loud in my head 🤕 2y

Graciouswarriorlibrarian That was crazy! 2y

Aimeesue @Bookwormjillk Jerry Springer! lol! 2y

Aimeesue That onion game was totally rigged. Never even had a chance. 🧅 2y

KAO I was three chapters behind—but caught up today! I remember when the chapters started at only 3 pages each…those days are long gone, it seems. Then again, the longer chapters at least help me to get some momentum going in following the plot(s). #neverthoughtiwouldbeeagerlyanticipatingpatricideinanovel #letsmovealongalready (edited) 2y

Ruthiella At least poor Aleksey gets to take a load off and have some fish soup 🥣 and cherry preserves 🍒 . 2y

currentlyreadinginCO I liked this one, too! Ivan and Alyosha are an interesting pairing 2y

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella such an odd combo 2y

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk he says “bork, bork, bork” Swedish for blah, blah, blah ( probably) and @Ruthiella thank goodness Aloysha gets to eat after all the running around 2y

Graciouswarriorlibrarian @Ruthiella I thought the same thing! But what a combination! 😊 2y

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk yes. 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼 2y

dabbe @Ruthiella That boy was hungry! 😂 2y

Aimeesue @mcctrish Right? He‘s gonna be nothing but skin and bones! 2y

Bklover I‘m really sorry, but I‘m going to have to drop out. I‘m very disappointed- I tried to catch up, but this month I just don‘t have it in me. It‘s been a difficult month, and of the books I intended to read this month I‘m only keeping up with one. I seem to have lost my focus. Love you all, and I‘ll be back for the next one. (Can‘t remember what‘s next). ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover we will see you in March! (It‘s

Rebeca / Rebecca

Bklover Oh good! I love Rebecca! That will be a fun reread. 2y

rubyslippersreads Even though I bailed, I‘m glad to finally know what a hurdy-gurdy looks like. 😂 2y

willaful @Bklover I dropped out ages ago, I'm just really enjoying the posts. 😳

I don't think I've ever seen a hurdy gurdy, which is odd, because it's heavily featured in one of my all time fav books.

Cuilin I hope Alyosha got to eat the soup and preserves. That was some serious conversation. Not sure I could eat while some was talking about the torture/suffering of children. 2y

dabbe There are so many books read with this group this year that A. I had never heard of; B. I had never read; C. I never could have gotten through without this lovely group. And @BarkingMadRead, you are da bomb! You should create a study guide summary sight with just your hashtags; your summaries are way funnier than Shmoop's. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. I'm thankful to be part of this fantastic group. 🧡🖤💜 2y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! I definitely read way more books because of the #hashtagbrigade 2y

BarkingMadRead @rwmg no Hardy, our next read is Brother‘s Karamazov in January, it‘s going to take forever 🤣 2y

Bklover Thank you yet again, @BarkingMadRead ! I know for sure that the books we have read this year I wouldn‘t have gotten through alone, nor enjoyed as much. Your hashtags have enriched my reading life!! ❤️❤️❤️ See you in January for the Bros! 2y
