Bookwormjillk Wait! What????? Was it Laura or was it the lady in white? This book is such a soap opera! 2w

mcctrish What. The. Hell. 2w
Leftcoastzen Maybe one of those poisons that makes you seem dead but you are not ? I went through all the stages of grief. He would get the money but it probably be worth it to be rid of him . 2w
BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen I wondered the same thing, I can‘t wait to see what happens next! 2w
dabbe I recall #porkchop hinting to #percypig that he had a plan re: the likeness between Anne and Laura. This must be it. Anne's the one with the heart problem, so Anne's the one who died at #porkchop's place. Laura has to be the one alive and the one that Walter met in the cemetery with Marian. Now we need to fill in how she got there. @Bookwormjillk: #soapoperaindeed

I feel like I'm playing CLUE: Laura is in the library with the wrench .... 🤣

dabbe Just read this from good ol' Wikipedia; it definitely confirms the soap-operaness of this novel! 🤩
“Collins's works were classified at the time as sensation novels, a genre that became the precursor to detective and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.“

BarkingMadRead @dabbe for real! Total telenovella, this is CLUE, the movie 🤣 2w
Bookwormjillk @dabbe ohhhh good theory. And the flowers did something right? Pork Chop did it in the bedroom with the bouquet. 2w
dabbe @BarkingMadRead Circa 1860s. 🤩🤣🤩 2w
Clare-Dragonfly Twin switch! I knew it!!!! @dabbe That‘s exactly how I think it went! (edited) 2w
Clare-Dragonfly I love the inclusion of “the narrative of the tombstone.” So dramatic! So fitting for the way the novel is told! So unexpected! 2w
Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly yes the tombstone part was A+ 2w
KAO I did not see that coming!! (But in retrospect probably should have!) 2w
julieclair I've never thought of flowers as a murder weapon, lol. (Except maybe when consumed as poison.) 💐☠️ 2w
BarkingMadRead @julieclair when I think of flowers I think of Carol on the walking dead #lookattheflowers 2w

TheSpineView Browning has a real gift. Love ♥️ 2y
dabbe @TheSpineView I remember the first time I read this in high school, coming to the line “Then all smiles stopped together.“ And I was like, “What?“ or actually it was #wtf, but still! 🤣 2y

TheSpineView Love it! Getting old sucks.😆 2y
dabbe I feel every crack and ache. As my doctor once told me: “Denise, your body is like a house. And when the house gets older, it starts to crack. Your body's telling you you're alive.“ My reply is not meant for human ears. 😃🤣🤩 2y
fredamans @TheSpineView This is one of my faves by her for its realism. 2y
fredamans @dabbe I can imagine your reply... mine would probably be similar... 😂 That's kinda funny and true what he said though, to be fair. 2y
dabbe @fredamans Very true to life. 💙💚💙 2y

#AyUpAugust Even though I‘ve had a busy weekend, I couldn‘t #stop reading this book. A riveting account of one of the wildest bank heists on US soil and craziest trials to determine the guilt of the Narco 3. I thought journalist Peter Houlahan did a great job of recreating the chaos and timeline of events, making for a compelling and captivating read.

vivastory Thanks for tagging me. This sounds fantastic. I will definitely be adding to my BOTM box next month! 6y
Megabooks So did the trial eventually get exciting because I got kinda bored at the start of that. I‘ll pick it back up if it does. Glad you liked it!! 6y
MicheleinPhilly @vivastory It‘s also available on Hoopla. 6y

Cinfhen I really enjoyed the trial more than the bank heist @Megabooks 🤷‍♀️but I‘m not sure if I would have liked this book on audio @MicheleinPhilly I‘m more of a visual learner/ reader 6y
Cinfhen I hope you like the book @vivastory 🤞🏼 6y
MicheleinPhilly Oh I don‘t do audio. The e-book is available on Hoopla. 6y
Cinfhen Ayyy!!! Good to know @MicheleinPhilly @vivastory you could totally #BorrowNotBuy for this book!!! Love Hoopla ♥️ 6y
vivastory @MicheleinPhilly Thanks for the heads-up. I just grabbed it on hoopla. 6y
Reviewsbylola I love the 80s vibe of this cover! 6y

#AyupAugust
If you were to ask me the number one thing I should #Stop doing, it would be procrastinating. My mom used to call me a “procrastinating perfectionist”—putting off what I didn‘t want to do but then working extra hard & late to do it with perfection. I‘m better than I used to be but I still will pull out this quick & easy read with its good tips about overcoming procrastination when I find myself sliding backwards. #🍽🐸📚
