BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣 15h

Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of I Love Lucy too! 😂 10h

TheAromaofBooks So was Rebecca's intent to GOAD Maxim into murdering her ON PURPOSE??? Also, side note, I'm just not sure what I would do if my husband confessed to killing his first wife, no matter how terrible she was. I'm not confident I would be as “obviously I love you and will stay with you“ as our narrator is! 😂 10h

kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks I would have trouble with that too! 9h

kwmg40 The doctor offered them cigarettes and sherry! What doctor would do that these days? It was a different time! 9h

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks yeah, I don‘t think that would have the same effect on me as it had on Jan. 9h

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks yeah it seemed like Rebecca's way of taking him down with her, not realizing he would get away with it 9h

peanutnine The narrator is so desperate to be loved that she'll overlook some HUGE red flags. She's so worried about what others think of her, she can't imagine leaving him even for a good reason 9h

IndoorDame Totally agree about both of them! If Rebecca wants to off herself, go for it, but suicide by proxy totally makes her an #evilbitch And Jan staying with her husband who‘s perfect except for the whole I‘m a murderer thing is just nuts, like I‘m worried the girl has no basic self preservational instincts! 8h

5feet.of.fury I was so surprised by the doctor‘s report. What the heck? But, it gives everyone a good reason to believe the suicide… 7h

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes to everything you said! Rebecca is evil and Jan is not a great decision-maker. 😂 6h

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent ch.21-22: well, things are certainly coming to light now! First the sketches of Jane by Vincent and the revelation that she‘s his muse (oh my!) and then we find out who Melody‘s lover is. We also see that Jane is getting stronger in her glamour powers - she‘s a rare talent to only have to read instructions to be able to do it so quickly.

vonnie862 Her muse...that's kind of cute! I'm not surprised about Melody and Livingston. However, I am a little confused about the dream maze. Did Jane have an out-of-body experience? 20h

mcctrish Is it just me or did Melody know where she was ? She‘s a piece of work either way 20h

willaful I hope this book isn't going to end on a cliffhanger. There doesn't seem enough time for a proper tieing-up of all the loose ends. 19h

DebinHawaii @mcctrish I also felt like she knew & left her in the maze path but maybe it‘s just that I dislike Melody so much! 😆 18h

mcctrish @DebinHawaii there could be some bias over here and @willaful I thought that too today, doesn‘t seem like much book left to wrap things up ( I do have the second one though, Book Outlet had a good deal) 17h

Add me to the list of those who just couldn‘t bear to stick with a chapter a day! WOW! I pretty much didn‘t see any of that coming, and yet it all made perfect sense. Du Maurier was a master. #PemberLittens #hashtagbrigade

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.19-20: So Mr. Dunkirk actually killed the man that married his (14!) yr old sister - that‘s a bit crazy. Do you guys feel this was a protection of his sister and family‘s honour, or should this be considered murder? An interesting dilemma. And Melody - Oy. What a jealous cow. Sorry for those of you who like cows 🐮

BarkingMadRead Anyone who marries a 14 year old gets what he deserves 🤣 2d

mcctrish I am amazed that my dislike for Melody continues to grow. She is such a twat! I was a bit shocked to learn Beth had actually married her tutor and I‘m not sure it isn‘t murder. Just because you think the man is beneath your sister ( literally and figuratively 😆) is that grounds to 🔫? (edited) 2d

StayCurious @mcctrish right? And does the fact that it was in a duel protect him or not…pretty sure duels were illegal too. 2d

mcctrish Pretty sure Bridgerton says duels are illegal but honour code trumps the law? 2d

vonnie862 @BarkingMadRead I'm with you, anyone who marries a young girl deserves harsh punishment. 2d

vonnie862 @mcctrish gosh, me too! I keep disliking her more! And how she read that book without remorse, jeesh! Though I am curious of what that book says, lol. What does Vincent say in it? 2d

Princess-Kingofkings I can‘t wait for Melody and her mother to go to Bath. They would drive me crazy! I‘m not confident I could remain as nice as Jane. 2d

willaful I'm curious how he killed someone, even in a duel, and got away with it. Or did he flee the country for a time?

I can see how he wouldn't have looked upon killing him in a duel as immoral, especially given her age. but not telling his sister at the very least was cruel and horrible. Does she even know she's a widow? I guess she must... (edited) 2d

julieclair A widow at 14. Unbelievable. In my mind, killing in a duel is murder… although it‘s weird because the victim consented to the duel. So was it really a “suicide by dueling”? 2d

willaful @julieclair Yeah, I guess that's why I'm uncertain. It was apparently an accepted practice and the person consented. On the other hand, I think Alexander Hamilton was murdered... 2d

mcctrish @willaful he obviously feels some shame/remorse since he won‘t tell his sister. Does she think she was left? So she‘s internalized she wasn‘t worth it instead of being allowed to be outraged at her brother‘s actions #thesepeoplearenuts 1d

willaful @mcctrish That would certainly help explain why she's still so ready to be treated badly. :-( 1d

Sace Doc Baker!!! 2d

Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this pic. Does Danny think Rebecca was only in love with her? So many questions. 2d

julieclair I felt so very sorry for Ben. And yes, I do think Baker is a doctor and she really was pregnant. 2d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I couldn't help myself I binged to the end. 2d

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig I did that days ago 🤣🤣🤣 2d

dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig ... #ditto! 🤩😂😀 2d

willaful I was really struck by the narrator's use of “sensual“ to describe Jack, in a completely negative way. Her fastidiousness seems pathological. A murderer is fine, as long as he's refined. (edited) 2d

Aimeesue Sometimes I just want to slap Jack. Or punch him in the neck. Grrrrr. Poor Ben. He did just what Rebecca wanted, though, didn‘t he? (edited) 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Poor Ben! My Danny in the cottage theory is definitely busted 😂 I appreciate the irony that it‘s Rebecca‘s own threat that is making it difficult for Favell to prove her murder. (edited) 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @julieclair Agreed. Most likely pregnant with Jack‘s child, or at least she believed it was his. 2d

Roary47 @Crinoline_Laphroaig @dabbe @BarkingMadRead Same! I couldn‘t handle it. 🤣 2d

julieclair @Roary47 @dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig Oooohhhh…. y‘all have given me the go-ahead to speed on through to the end! 😃 2d

I haven‘t been listening to this a chapter a day, but I downloaded it over the weekend to catch up. Then I just had to finish the last couple chapters last night. Even as a reread, it‘s so suspenseful. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am glad I made the time to listen again.

Necessary Endings: The Employees, Businesses, and Relationships That All of Us Have to Give Up in Order to Move Forward | Henry Cloud

Hello #Pemberlittens friends! I‘ve made the difficult decision to end our #JaneAdjacent buddy reads starting in May. Or at least to end my role in hosting them. I‘ve found recently that I‘ve overcommitted myself on Litsy and in real life and I need to step back. I‘ve so enjoyed our discussions and the books we‘ve chosen that have brought us back into Jane‘s world. If anyone is interested in taking up the mantle, you have my blessing!

BarkingMadRead Awwwww that‘s a bummer, but I totally get it! If I wasn‘t already hosting a couple others I would take it over! 3d

Sace While I was not part of the reading I totally understand the Litsy overwhelm! There are so many fabulous activities here and it‘s hard not to overdo. 3d

Librarybelle Thank you for hosting this! I completely understand - I can barely keep up with all of the activities I‘m hosting and participating in. It‘s been a lot of fun. ❤️ 3d

Bookwormjillk Thanks for hosting! 3d

peanutnine Totally understand! Thanks for hosting for so long, we read some great books as a group ☺️💕 3d

Gissy So sad but understandable. I‘m always behind in my readings so I will spend these months to read all your recommendations😃Enjoy your reading time and enjoy🤗Thank you so much for hosting all these buddy reads 🥰♥️♥️♥️ 3d

willaful It's been really fun! I hope you can find more balance in your life; it's so easy to take on too much here! 3d

CatLass007 You do you. You have done an awesome job hosting this and so many other buddy reads. ❤️ 3d

IndoorDame Thanks for taking this on for so long. You‘re awesome! I‘m glad you‘re looking out for yourself ❤️ 3d

CogsOfEncouragement I have great appreciation for the fun way you host, as well as deep respect for this decision. 💟 3d

rubyslippersreads I‘m sad it‘s ending, but happy that I‘ve learned of so many wonderful #janeadjacent books. Thanks for being such a great host. ❤️ 3d

julieclair This has been a wonderful ride and I will miss it. But I totally get the overwhelm. I, too, suffer from what my husband calls “overcommitment syndrome “. 🙃 Thank you for the time, effort and heart you have put into hosting us. 😍🥰 (edited) 3d

CrowCAH Thanks you so much for heading up the buddy reads! 😘 Totally understandable about commitment; lots of book clubs! Take it easy! 3d

quietjenn Thanks for all you've done! Take care of yourself. 3d

daena Thank you so much for all you‘ve done! 3d

SarahBookInterrupted You did a great job so thank you for all the reads and congratulations on taking care of you! 2d

TheAromaofBooks I definitely get it!! Thank you for all the work you've put in on this little group - we've had some great reads together!! 2d

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead Did you change your handle while I was on hiatus from Littens? Did you used to be @BarkingMadRuns? 2d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 I used to be BarkingMadRun but I can‘t run anymore so i changed it 2d

CatLass007 I get that. If running is something you enjoyed, then I‘m sorry you can‘t run anymore. But you must be pretty memorable since I was off Litsy for about three years. 2d

Larkken Thank you for hosting as long as you did! I found some really fun books through this group - even if I also often overcommit to joining groups.🥰 I hope you find some breathing room! 2d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @StayCurious After I finished hosting last's years #JaneAndTheExcellentReadAlong both here and on Instagram, I hadn't planned on continuing. But my Instagram friend Claire asked me to host another. I didn't post about #12MonthsOfJane here because you were already hosting Jane Adjacent and that's what we are reading. But if you're good with it, I'll use the #JaneAdjacent tag and start sharing for any #PemberLittens who are interested. 2d

StayCurious @Crinoline_Laphroaig absolutely! That‘s totally fine with me 💜 2d

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.17-18: Oy, we find out that Beth is a mix between Lydia and Marianne. To run off at 14 though - that‘s scandalous! And now she‘s heartbroken over Livingston and showing it. How Jane can deal with her I‘ll never know haha. I don‘t have a lot of sympathy - can you tell?

BarkingMadRead Poor Jane having to put up with this craziness! 3d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I would have washed my hands of both of them already 🤣 3d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead at least Beth is nice to Jane 3d

willaful I was pretty boy crazy in my youth, so I'm trying not to be too hard on Beth. But man, she's a mess. 😂 3d

julieclair Age 14! I know times were different then, but wow. Beth seems too sweet to be so headstrong. 3d

vonnie862 @willaful I was boy crazy too and at that age, I was pretty dramatic. My poor mother. 3d

vonnie862 I found it funny how Beth hid her glamour skills from people. 3d
