Victorian Psycho: A Novel | Virginia Feito

Grim Wolds, England: Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess-she'll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate's dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family-Mr. Pounds can't keep his eyes off Winifred's chest.

Reggie Lol I loved this book so much. That last 30 pages was so bonkers. lol 4d

They Never Learn | Layne Fargo

A university professor murdering predatory men?! Very intriguing but blurs the line of moral revenge killing. Nevertheless, I found myself rooting for the women as I was reading this. Great plot twists but the ending was somewhat predictable and unrealistic. 4⭐s

The Chase | Candice Fox

It was good, but didn't quite live up to the author‘s Crimson Lake books. Maybe because those books are about a specific duo, with other characters in their orbit, and while this one also has what I would consider to be two main characters, the focus constantly shifted to other characters. Or maybe the characters in this one just weren't as appealing. Still worth reading though.

The Count of Monte Cristo | Alexander Dumas

Quick question for the #hashtagbrigade
The votes are still coming in, but the top 2 right now are both chunksters. How do we feel about that? The tagged book will take almost 4 months to read a chapter a day, and Anna Karenina has 239 chapters! Would everyone be willing to do Anna Karenina alongside whatever other books we are reading? Maybe start it in February as its on buddy read? Thoughts? Ideas?

SamAnne I‘d be fine with that! Both are on my TBR for 2026 so I will be reading both anyway. 2w

JacqMac That works for me. I always read them alongside my other books anyway. 2w

Ruthiella I think a bonus read along would work….otherwise we end up reading only two books in one year as a group! 😜 But that said, I‘ve already read AK and probably won‘t participate either way. 2w

mcctrish I‘ve already read Anna and I am committed to the Count 2w

rubyslippersreads I‘ve always wanted to read Anna, so any way we do that is fine with me. 2w

BarbaraJean Alongside other books sounds great—but also I‘ve read both so I‘m not sure if I‘ll join for either! Although a re-read of Anna is tempting… 2w

Cuilin I‘ve read both, probably will skip those. 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've read Anna. It's on my classic that I never have to read again. But I'm in for the Count. 2w

Seabreeze_Reader Along side other reads might work better? I might be in for The Count. (Edited: I just bought an audio version 🙂👍) (edited) 2w

Bookwormjillk I'm up for it if you are. You do all the work. I'm just along for the ride. 2w

Bklover I‘ve read both, but would love to reread either alongside the regular monthly book. 2w

Bklover @Ruthiella 😂😂🩷 2w

Deblovestoread I love the side quest idea. Def in for count and might give AK a reread 2w

Bookwormjillk @Deblovestoread Ha! #HashtagBrigadeSideQuest I love it. 2w

BarkingMadRead @deblovestoread ohhhhhh we may have to make this a new tradition! 2w

willaful I've read both so may sit it out, not sure yet. 2w

dabbe I'm not sure how long the chapters are in these chunksters, but if they're short, we could read more than one chapter a day as well. I'd be happy to help plan that out (similar in a way to how we read BRIDESHEAD REVISITED). I've read AK and will probably sit that one out, but count me in for the count! 😍 2w

quietjenn I also support the idea of side quests, although as has been noted you are doing the bulk of the work so I trust you! Will likely skip Anna ... 2w

julieclair I read Anna this year so will skip that, but I‘d like to read the Count. 2w

kwmg40 I'd like to do a reread of Anna, but I'll probably skip Count, as I'd read it quite recently. 2w

Librarybelle I think whatever works best for you! I‘ve also recently read Anna so probably would not join that discussion, but I do want to read Cristo. 2w

CoverToCoverGirl I‘ve tried Anna several times, not for me, but would by for the Count. 2w

DieAReader I think I‘d skip the Count this time around but am game for Anna whenever works best😏 2w

eeclayton I've read them both and will most probably skip them this time. 2w

jenniferw88 @dabbe some Count chapters are longer than others, if I remember correctly. @BarkingMadRead count me in for the main ones (possibly), but I'll sit Count & Anna out, as I've read them before. 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t mind taking a long time to read books (as long as they‘re out of copyright and I can get a free download. I‘m unlikely to want to read two #hashtagbrigade books at a time. 2w

lil1inblue I love the side quest idea! I'm not 100% sure yet on either - it will kind of depend on some other challenges. 2w

Tineke I want to read Anna Karenina, and want to read along. I'll follow along as long as I can do both books ( if there's a book next to it). Otherwise I'll drop one. 2w

The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club: A Novel | Gloria Chao

pan

Terribly written and terribly edited, we follow our main protagonist Kathryn as she realises her boyfriend of a couple of months has been dating two other women. From there the Ex Girlfriend Murder Club is formed.

Listening to Kathryn's mother talk in stereotypical broken English was just uncomfortable and very lazy representation.

However it was so stupid, I had fun with it.

ChaoticMissAdventures There is a weird, sliding, scale of bad that once you tip over it the thing becomes kitschy and "good" No one knows how to tell a person where this line is it has to be hit naturally ?. 2w

Michellesibs @ChaoticMissAdventures I hadn't thought about this before but you are spot on! 2w

The Hitchcock Hotel | Stephanie Wrobel

pick

What a great #bookclub pick! This #SpookySeasonRead isn‘t too scary, but maintains a great, tense atmosphere in homage to the titular detective. And while familiarity with Hitchcock‘s films adds to the reading experience, other than a few spoiled plots, not really necessary. The plot holds surprises— though the cast isn‘t particularly sympathetic. Still, it has a cinematic flair of its own & I couldn‘t put it down! Looking forward to discussing!

Bookwomble Excellent lamp! 🖤🐦‍⬛💡🐦‍⬛🖤 3w
