Daisey I definitely did not expect time to pass as quickly as it has so far in this book. 1y

Cuilin Shout out to the beautiful writing “On a thyme-scented, bird-hatching morning in May ….. she left home for the second time” 🥰 1y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin yes! It was so beautiful! I‘m trying not to relax though, I‘m sure it won‘t last 🤣 1y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead right?! It‘s such pretty writing then you think WAIT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?! 1y

TheBookHippie @Cuilin the writing is wonderful. 1y

TheBookHippie I definitely don‘t remember this book well, and that passage of time went quickly! 1y

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie yes methinks we‘re being lulled into a false sense of serenity. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @TheBookHippie most definitely! 1y

Bookwormjillk Haha no one let your guard down 1y

Clare-Dragonfly @Daisey Same! I thought the ~loss of virtue~ thing would be the whole plot. I have no idea what else to expect. And I like that! 1y

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk yep 👀 1y

eeclayton I've just caught up after missing several days (because life happened). It was a lot of sadness in one gulp! 1y

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin @TheBookHippie @eeclayton The writing is beautiful, but nothing says sadness like naming your doomed child “Sorrow.” 😟 (edited) 1y

Bluebird A nice break from the prior barrage of ‘what will happen next to poor Tess‘. Loved the writing, but must admit I got a bit bored…. However that doesn‘t mean I‘m looking forward to the next tragedy that will befall Tess. 🥺 1y

currentlyreadinginCO @Cuilin agreed, love the writing 💕 1y

dabbe I much admire Tess's resolve to move on and find her life. Her parents are completely worthless, and she's been through so much already, but to her, I think she was thinking that anything had to be better than where she was. However, this is Hardy (who writes a lot like Edith Wharton--beautifully!), and things can't end well for Tess--at least now now. I'm still rooting for her, though. Love her as a character. 🧡💜💛 1y

Cuilin @dabbe Agree, her parents are the worst. Tess is quite resilient. 1y

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads 😔 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 1y

Librarybelle It was like it‘s so hot Forster does not have the energy to say more 😂 1y

BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle I‘m kind of impressed that he spent a page and a half just to say it‘s hot 🤣🤣🤣 1y

Librarybelle Right??? 1y

mcctrish Chapter 10: and it was hot…… (edited) 1y

I Am Not Your Negro: A Companion Edition to the Documentary Film Directed by Raoul Peck | Velvet Films, Inc., Raoul Peck

Tried something a little different by re-watching the movie, I Am Not Your Negro (text/script from James Baldwin's work & directed by Raoul Peck) or reading the book.
📚
The first time I watched the book, I loved it but wanted to go back and read the text. This experiment allowed me to do that. While also enjoying the imagery of the movie.
📚
Baldwin was an oracle. #thatsall

TheLondonBookworm Agree! I liked the first one though I find this happens a lot on YA- decent beginning, mediocre middle, naff ending 8y

booksandcats13 You did better than me! I could never get through that one 🤣🤣 8y

monkeygirlsmama I think I have this series in my stacks somewhere. 8y

TrishTheBibliophile @TheLondonBookworm I liked the first one too! This one was disappointing though. @bigdamnbookgeek I trudged through the ending *hoping* it would get better. 8y
