BarkingMadRead
Wide Sargasso Sea | Jean Rhys
post image

The #hashtagbtigade selection for May is #widesargassosea and we will read a chapter a day! Comment below if you are joining us for this book! Anyone can join at any time, just know that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read the post until you‘ve read the chapter! ALSO I leave tomorrow for Europe so my posts will come at weird times of the day 🤣 I promise to post though!

rubyslippersreads I‘m looking forward to this one. It‘s been on my TBR list for ages. 7mo
julieclair Wait, didn‘t you just get back from Disney? I love your life! Enjoy! And… I am definitely in for May. This book has been on my TBR forever! 7mo
BarkingMadRead @julieclair yeah 🤣 it‘s a crazy month, Disney with a friend and then an anniversary trip with the hubs. I do not recommend such a quick turnaround, it‘s super stressful 🤣 7mo
currentlyreadinginCO Oh, I am in for sure - might be a few days late in starting but I'll catch up! Have the best time in europe! 7mo
julieclair Yes, I imagine the packing and catching up on real life in between is stressful. But once you are buckled into your seat on the plane, all stress goes away and you can just look forward to the trip! Have a fabulous time! Where are you going? And Happy Anniversary! 😃💖 7mo
BarkingMadRead @julieclair we booked a mystery trip, we are flying to London and we will find out where right before we get there. It‘s in an envelope on my island 😳 all we know is that it‘s a 2-4 hour flight from London 7mo
jenniferw88 I'm not joining the buddy read, but as I'm limited to 4 hour flights, I'm going to guess some locations: Spain (or one of the Balearic Islands) or Greece (or one of it's islands). 😂 7mo
rwmg I thought I read Wide Sargasso Sea quite recently but as it turns out to have been in 2013, perhaps it's time for a re-read. 7mo
TheAromaofBooks I think I am going to pass on this one, but I'll be back for Little Women!!! Enjoy all your traveling - a mystery trip sounds both terrifying and fantastic haha 7mo
BarkingMadRead @jenniferw88 those are my husband‘s two guesses 7mo
daena Please count me in for this one too. Looking forward to it! 7mo
Larkken Your trip sounds so fun!!! I am in for this book. I‘ve been meaning to read it forever. 7mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 7mo

Mehso-so

Orwell is a fan of the heavy-handed lesson and Animal Farm is no exception. I read this in high school but remembered none of it. Can I go back to a time when I thought Animal Farm was just cute animals on a farm, living out a charmed life, and not a dystopian nightmare that could still exist today? Do as I say and not as I do. The perils of new money. It's oddly relevant, even if this isn't the Russian Revolution.

rubyslippersreads I had the horrible childhood experience of watching this as a cartoon on TV, thinking it would be a cute animal story. #scarredforlife 😳🐷 3y
HollyBolly I remember reading this in middle or high school and HATING it! But I know people who live it. 🤷‍♀️ 3y
HollyBolly *love 3y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y

@RavenLovelyReads Dude! 😶 Trust me when I tell u this is NO joke! Lol The above pic ⬆️ is the back of the package advertising which kinds of beans are in there!😂 @Laughterhp Omg I got some really disgusting ones too!🤣 I tried the VOMIT one! 🤢 I have no IDEA how they replicated vomit but it tastes just like when u get sick and puke! I also tried the rotten egg, sausage, soap, dirt & grass! I was too afraid to go anywhere NEAR the booger one! 😰

RavenLovelyReads See?? That‘s why I have trust issues. If you can‘t trust candy..what can you trust?? 😳 #scarredforlife 6y
RavenLovelyReads ....and if your vomit looks like that jelly bean- all red and yellow...you best get to a hospital! 😜 6y
HOTPock3tt @RavenLovelyReads I am DEFINITELY scarred for life after that vomit one!! 🤢 now I feel like I‘ve been puking! I thought there was no WAY.. I thought it would at least still taste a little bit like candy... Man was I WRONG. I am most certainly traumatized lol 🤯 6y

HOTPock3tt @RavenLovelyReads ikr!! 🤣the vomit they showed looks scary as heck! 😖 6y
RavenLovelyReads 😂😂😂😂 gross! I‘m a sympathetic puker- I‘m def staying away from all those. Thanks for the warning!! 😘😘 6y
HOTPock3tt @RavenLovelyReads thanks love!! for feeling my pain!! 😘♥️ RUN don‘t walk if you see these!! 🤣 because even if u think it‘s a harmless cherry one it could end up being vomit! 😖 it was fun to have the book experience but I‘m pretty sure I‘ve had my fill! 🤢🤮 (edited) 6y
julesG I liked the grass one. But we had much too much soap in our bag. I still wonder how exactly they found out how an earthworm tastes. 6y
JoScho 🤢 6y
HOTPock3tt @julesG I had a lot of soap too and rotten egg in my bag. Luckily I also had a few cinnamon/cherry/green apple to kill the tastes of the bad ones I tried 😐 @JoScho this was a rather disgusting experience! 😝 I still have nearly 2 full bags of these... there were some good ones... but you REALLY have to be paying attention about which ones you pick out 🙃 6y
RavenLovelyReads I was thinking...I‘m so glad you tagged me because I thought it was nasty names given to candy- like maybe the booger was just a green apple (you know- something green) anyhoo- I would have popped that booger in my mouth! 😳 🤢 6y
