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. 😬 3w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a great opening line. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I don‘t remember! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I love it! @TheBookHippie oh nooooo 3w

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 3w

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 😅 3w

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. 3w

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. 3w

Graciouswarriorprincess Thanks @BarkingMadRead 😀 3w

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly Awesome you are reading it for the first time! It‘s a great plot. 3w

Ruthiella @willaful Thank you! 😊 3w

Bookwormjillk Woohoo new book! I only have the audio version in my library so I‘m reading it that way. 3w

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! 🤩 3w

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 🤩 3w

5feet.of.fury Add me please 😊 3w

TheAromaofBooks LOVE how atmospheric this chapter is!! 3w

IndoorDame @dabbe couldn‘t agree more on both counts! #hailtheinternet #byebyebadbros 3w

KAO I am excited to start something new! Optimistic here! 3w

dabbe @IndoorDame 💚🩷💚 3w

peanutnine This is my first time reading and I'm loving the descriptions so far! 3w

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. 🥰💛 3w

julieclair Please add me! I was too intimidated to attempt the bros, but now I'm back in the brigade! 3w

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? 3w

IndoorDame @julieclair oooh, definitely let us know if it is!!! 3w

BarkingMadRead @julieclair added you! 3w

julieclair @IndoorDame Will do! 3w

Bookwormjillk We needed a short chapter today. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk we earned it! 2mo

currentlyreadinginCO She loves having almost been murdered!! 😂😂 2mo

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? 🤩 2mo

Cuilin I‘m so behind, still playing catch up. 2mo

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 2mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe @mcctrish for real! 🙄 @Cuilin there are some shorter chapters ahead! You can do it!! 2mo

dabbe @mcctrish #greatminds 🤩😂😍 2mo

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. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury you can do it!! 2mo

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 2mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury the last section has been so much easier to read! It‘s crazy 😜 2mo

AnnR The first chapter was unexpectedly lovely. I'm so glad there was no drama. 8mo

Bookwormjillk Short and lovely! Just what the doctor ordered after Vanity Fair! 8mo

julieclair Please add me to the tag list. Thanks! 8mo

Daisey I enjoyed listening to the first chapter on my way to work this morning. Also appreciated the tag as I couldn‘t remember if I officially signed up for this one or not. 8mo

julieclair The two halves of Chandrapore sound very different. Beautifully done descriptive writing. If all the chapters are this short, I should have no trouble keeping up! 😆 8mo

Cuilin I have the same copy!! 8mo

mcctrish @julieclair I agree on all counts. School starts on Tuesday and I‘m in a panic over how many chapter a days I‘ve thrown my name in for 🤦🏻‍♀️ how the heck did it become September so fast 😆 8mo

julieclair @mcctrish I'm in the same boat with chapter a days. But they are all so much fun! 8mo

Bklover @julieclair I agree! One half sounds awful! 8mo

eeclayton I think I'll sit this one out after all. I'm quite overwhelmed with work and haven't even finished Vanity Fair. I'll rejoin you in October, but until then can you remove me from the tag list, please? @BarkingMadRead 8mo

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I got you! We will see you in October! 8mo

Ruthiella I‘m thinking back and do we have any real confirmation of his initial preference for Kitty except as per Kitty‘s interpretation? 🤔. Also, anybody catch the return of Isabella Thorpe? #Ohnoshedidnt 10mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I believe it‘s all been Kitty and Emma saying so, I don‘t remember him ever showing any interest 10mo

IndoorDame Scheming little witch knows exactly what she‘s doing! It made me so mad that she knew she could only take her sister along to see him or the plan would backfire! 12mo

mcctrish @indoordame Adina SAME!!!!! Rosalie is the WORST! 12mo

Bookwormjillk I felt Agnes‘ awkwardness when she said no to the umbrella in my core. 12mo

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame OMG 💯 12mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 12mo

eeclayton @Bookwormjillk I find this part of Agnes so relatable. Thinking about the man all the time, then being completely useless when the opportunity presents itself -- been there, done that! 12mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk YES, dame! 😂 Dear autocorrect, I wrote “same” but we‘ll go with it! 12mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly ha! I love it. 12mo

Ruthiella Rosalie claims she would have sent the footman back for Agnes? I doubt it. 🙄 I think Mr. Weston was looking at Agnes the whole time…waiting to see if there was any way to catch her attention. 12mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella yeah, I don‘t see that happening, either. More likely, Rosalie would have left her behind 🤣 12mo

TheAromaofBooks I'm so scared about how Rosalie is going to sabotage Agnes's life once she realizes which way the wind is blowing! 12mo

willaful @TheAromaofBooks It's going to be ugly... 12mo

dabbe I love how Weston gently persisted with the umbrella exchange. That was 🤩🤩🤩 for that time period, right? Not only do I want Agnes to succeed as our hero, I want the villain to PAY. And pay good. Don't let me down, Anne! 12mo
