Ruth: a novel | Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

pick

I was reading my chapter for tomorrow & realized there was only one more so I went ahead and finished. What. An. Ending. So thankful to @BarkingMadRead for leading the #hashtagbrigade and pointing me in the direction of books I probably wouldn‘t pick up on my own & creating a community to share them with. There was so much yelling, swearing, absolute fury from me for some of these characters #bellingshit will not be forgotten #dontthrowthekindle

Cuilin Perfect review!!! 4d

willaful 😂 I couldn't make it through the Brothers, so I'm glad to have shared in this. 4d

mcctrish @willaful oh them bros, I can‘t believe I made it through!!! This is the second EG I‘ve read with #hashtagbrigade and I have to say I really do like her ( even if she makes me gnash my teeth ) 4d

This topic 🔥 “in me brain“ (EA Poe). Center: a copy of the shirt I proudly wore (now passed on to a younger teacher) every single day I introduced a banned book to my students. All of the books above I have proudly and unreservedly taught to my 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th graders. In 2023, the # of banned books has ⬆️ by 65% from 2022. Visit the ALA if you want to get involved. 👊

U. S. Postal Service (USPS): Ending Saturday Delivery Would Reduce Costs, But Comprehensive Restructuring Is Also Needed | Phillip Herr

#LitsyLoveSnailMail @dabbe looks like the us postal service was rough on your letter. But with a special envelope, I still got it 👍 🤪

dabbe I hope you can still read it! #oytotheultimatevey 🩵💙🩵 4w

LiseWorks @Dabbe, lol, the stuff in the package went all over. The news letter was ok but the little note was pretty damaged. I made out a few lines on that and got the gist of the question I'll answer you In a few days. 4w

TheBookHippie Omgoodness this mini series 🤣😅🙃 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie The scenes between Chamberberlain and Ward ... #hubbahubba! 🔥 1mo

TheLudicReader I loved the book and the mini series so much. I remember thinking Richard Chamberlain was so hot back in the day and the angst! 1mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader the angst!!! 1mo

TheLudicReader I know, right? @TheBookHippie. Angst is my favourite. I rewatched the series about 15 years ago and I can‘t say that I saw Chamberlain in quite the same way, but as a teenager. Hell yes! 1mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I remember my first thought was, “How naughty!“ Of course, I was a religious freak then, so I was like 😮, yet I couldn't stop reading or watching! 🤩😂🤩 1mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader @TheBookHippie He's now 90 years old! 😱 1mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader College me was 😍🤪🔥 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe HOW CAN THIS BE?! 1mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe 90??!! 1mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie I know! 😮 1mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk @dabbe I am not okay 👵🏼 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Similar thought: When I showed my juniors the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY, all the girls were like, “Is that Brad Pitt?“ I told them that it was Robert Redford and that Pitt could only wish he was that good-looking. They were all 👀 over him ... until I told them he was in his 80s. 😂 4w

TheBookHippie @dabbe I just rewatched The Way We Were 😅 4w

dabbe @TheBookHippie Here's me every time I watch that movie: 😭. Here's me when I even watch a CLIP of this movie: 😭. #babsandbob 🩶🖤🩶 (edited) 4w

dabbe @TheBookHippie #bareminimum 🤧🤧🤧 Years ago, I was home from college for the weekend and was watching this with my mom. My sister came home from a date, started watching it with us, and then when the pivotal moment came said, “I'm going to be really pissed if these two don't end up together.“ 😂 4w

Eggs Loved this book! Read it in 1981, my first summer in Tx ❤️❤️ 4w

TheBookHippie @dabbe right?!?! Oy. 4w

Eggs @dabbe I first saw Richard Chamberlain on an old tv show in the 1950s - he played Dr Kildare (Dr Dreamy) 4w

tournevis @Eggs Dr. Kildare! I and every other Quebecker alive back then watched Les oiseaux se cachent pour mourir in 1983, and we all thought he looked dreamy too. My mother read the book, and told me all about it, enough that I never bothered to try. I wonder how different the original is for the French trna 4w

TheBookHippie @Lesliereadsalot RIGHT?! 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie The Pony Express from Phoenix to Holland leaves much to be desired. Glad you could read at least some of it, though I'm sorry you didn't get the wee gift--or that the letter ate it instead. #oytotheultimatevey 💚💙💚 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe welll if there was a gift the saboteurs took it. Naughty. 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe oh wait did you send me a snoopy sno cone?!?! 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie It was a lemon face mask--to go along with my lemon theme. Now, I'm verklempt! 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie 😂😂😂 That reminds me ... post in a sec! 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe lemon -my favourite!!!! 1mo

TieDyeDude I think the mail sorting machine is popping the mask package. Same thing happened to mine 😕 1mo

Cuilin We need to keep an eye on Mr. Bellingham. He‘s not to be trusted. On another note the writing is beautiful, I loved the description of the ball. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I 💯 agree! @AllDebooks yessss I‘m worried for Jenny! 1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig Bellingham: OMG Poor people! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig such a jerk! 🙄🙄 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Eeeee I do not like Bellingham. He has the superficial trappings of a hero but he‘s all about Ruth just because she‘s pretty, when he must know their status in life is too different for any romance! And then he literally calls a poor person‘s house a pigsty! He‘s so thoughtless. 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Bellingham can not be trusted 1mo

mcctrish @Crinoline_Laphroaig 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

mcctrish Bellingham was half okay when he seemed shook at his supposed betrothed lack of regard for Ruth helping her but is absolutely clueless to how little time Ruth has to herself 🤷🏻‍♀️ like it takes a village for him to have tea, what does he think it takes for actual full time living?! 1mo

currentlyreadinginCO Getting Tess vibes, personally 🙄. Love the writing, though, and I've never read this one before so I'm interested 1mo

KAO @currentlyreadinginCO I agree about Tess vibes! Also already very aware of red flags with Bellingham. 1mo

rubyslippersreads @currentlyreadinginCO Definitely Tess vibes. 1mo

dabbe Your summary today was STUPENDOUS!!! You know, there's a book there re: your witty hashtags. 🤔🤩🤗 1mo

dabbe @currentlyreadinginCO #tessheretoo But I cared about Tess, and now I care about Ruth. Damn. 😂 1mo
