BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so frustrating! 2d
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I do think the whole point of this book will be we‘re supposed to forgive Val and be happy for Em when she ends up with him. 2d
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk better a loser than being alone #amiright 2d
Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish You‘d think she would have learned from her aunt that a loser is NOT better than being alone! 2d
Clare-Dragonfly Raise your hand if you didn‘t know it was Valancourt helping Theresa the moment she said she couldn‘t say who it was 🤛🏻 2d
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was torn between him and the creeper, it could have gone either way I guess 🤣 I also half wonder if it was the creeper that got shot as well 🤣 2d
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly you‘d think 🤔 😝 2d
mcctrish Ooo @BarkingMadRead maybe the creeper was shot saving Val once again 2d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 3w
mcctrish I laughed out loud learning that the Count‘s revenge fantasy was fuelled by intel gleaned from Annette‘s “thoughtless prattle” anyone who can follow her circuitous rambling and concoct a plan deserves to succeed 3w
mcctrish @AllDebooks so much unnecessary language 3w
Clare-Dragonfly 😂😂😂 3w

mcctrish Honest to god I can‘t believe Emily actually managed to get Annette out! So much dithering! Why on earth did she not go find Carlos to start?! Ludicrous lives 🎉because nobody dies. They just cry 4w

Bookwormjillk 49% through though. #We‘reGettingThere #MaybeSomethingWillHappenSoon 4w
Clare-Dragonfly Very confusing, is L dead or not? And also is he a good guy or a complete asshole? Because if somebody needs to stay in a room to protect themselves, seems to me the thing to do is leave THEM the key, not take it away and go join the fighting. 4w
Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly woo 🎉🎉🎉 4w

BarkingMadRead I‘m traveling this week (again!) to Disneyland! I‘m going to read ahead in the airport but my posts may be weirdly timed depending on the plans for the day 🤣 4mo
Cuilin I do love the people watching. Everyone is so self-conscious. 4mo

Bookwormjillk The people watching is fun. And the overthinking about omelets. 4mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk so much omelette angst 4mo
julieclair Poor Miss Pym arrived late and lost her chance at an omelette. She had to eat macaroni from the staff lunch. Such a shame. 😂 I wonder what Mrs. Kerr will have to eat - she arrived even later than Pym! 😬 4mo
julieclair @BarkingMadRead Have a blast at Disney! 4mo
BarkingMadRead @julieclair thank you!! 4mo

Ruthiella I‘m picturing Peter Dinklage. I understood dwarf before hunchback… 4mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella I am very pro Peter Dinklage in this role 4mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella ohhhhhhh I love that. Yes! 4mo
TheBookHippie @Ruthiella ohhhhh yes. Good pick. 4mo
Bookwormjillk Did Baby B get her sick or is she just heart broken? I guess we'll find out. 4mo
currentlyreadinginCO Wondering the same! @Bookwormjillk 4mo
Clare-Dragonfly Ahh so perfect! A sweet, generous hunchback! 4mo
julieclair #BensonOfNotreDame is the sweetest, kindest man. 💝 4mo

Ruthiella Very short but not too bad for a dream sequence. I‘m a little nervous about Jasper the dog. I don‘t remember him. 😬 9mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a great opening line. 9mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I don‘t remember! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I love it! @TheBookHippie oh nooooo 9mo
willaful @Ruthiella I don't remember either but according to this spoiler website. it's okay. (Click at your own risk!) https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/20561?index1=-1&index2=-1 9mo
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead library has it just need to get it to my branch so I should be able to catch up. Supposed to be in by Friday 😅 9mo
IndoorDame Apparently Manderley is based on a house she saw and fell in love with called Menabilly (you can find stunning photos online) and according to what I‘ve read the dream in this chapter could just as easily foreshadow her actual journey with the house, all of which happened after she wrote and published the book. 9mo
Clare-Dragonfly This is gorgeously written! I haven‘t read this before so it‘s all new to me, and I‘m glad to be finally reading it. 9mo
Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly Awesome you are reading it for the first time! It‘s a great plot. 9mo
Ruthiella @willaful Thank you! 😊 9mo
Bookwormjillk Woohoo new book! I only have the audio version in my library so I‘m reading it that way. 9mo
dabbe @IndoorDame I read too that she was given a lease by the owner at the time, spent money renovating it, and lived there for 20 years before giving it back to the family. I never knew this, and the last time I read it was in the early 1990s before the Internet. Thank goodness for instant knowledge! 🤩 9mo
dabbe The passage where the narrator talks about the wind coming from the western sea reminded me of Cornwall and the island off of it that is prevalent in AND THEN THERE WERE NONE ... and also P.B. Shelley's “Ode to the West Wind.“ Oh, what a tremendous novel embracing Gothic and Romantic literature from the early 1800s. I'm in heaven! #byebyebadbros 🤩 9mo
5feet.of.fury Add me please 😊 9mo
TheAromaofBooks LOVE how atmospheric this chapter is!! 9mo
IndoorDame @dabbe couldn‘t agree more on both counts! #hailtheinternet #byebyebadbros 9mo
KAO I am excited to start something new! Optimistic here! 9mo
dabbe @IndoorDame 💚🩷💚 9mo
peanutnine This is my first time reading and I'm loving the descriptions so far! 9mo
Roary47 @Clare-Dragonfly I completely agree it is so beautiful already! I‘m also a first time reader with you and @peanutnine it will be fun reading with all of you. 🥰💛 9mo
julieclair Please add me! I was too intimidated to attempt the bros, but now I'm back in the brigade! 9mo
julieclair @IndoorDame Thanks for this great info about Menabilly! My husband and I will be touring Cornwall next month. I wonder if it's visible from the road? 9mo
IndoorDame @julieclair oooh, definitely let us know if it is!!! 9mo
julieclair @IndoorDame Will do! 9mo

Bookwormjillk We needed a short chapter today. 10mo
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk we earned it! 10mo
currentlyreadinginCO She loves having almost been murdered!! 😂😂 10mo
dabbe Is it horrible of me that when I go to read a chapter, I quickly figure out how many pages it is, and then I (almost) jump for joy when it less than 10? 🤩 10mo
Cuilin I‘m so behind, still playing catch up. 10mo
mcctrish @dabbe we are twins 🤣 I start every reading by looking ahead at how many pages a-thinking “yes” #lessthan10 or “groan” #toomany I am seriously ‘a-doubting and a-feared‘ this book will ever end 10mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe @mcctrish for real! 🙄 @Cuilin there are some shorter chapters ahead! You can do it!! 10mo
dabbe @mcctrish #greatminds 🤩😂😍 10mo
5feet.of.fury I told myself I either have to catch up this weekend or throw in the towel, this is where I am now. 10mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury you can do it!! 10mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead the comments seem like people are getting more into it, it‘s helping me rally. For a while we all seemed to be just suffering together lmao 10mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury the last section has been so much easier to read! It‘s crazy 😜 10mo
