JenlovesJT47 Thank you, reading chapter 1 now! 4w
Bookwormjillk Hello Flowers in the Attic how off putting. I know, a different time. 4w
JenlovesJT47 Hmm that last sentence in the chapter was a tad bit creepy, no? 😳 #obsessed 4w
Clare-Dragonfly Apparently Beaufort is the name to use for men who make terrible money choices. 4w
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣 4w

dabbe #mytwocents Two versions of FRANKENSTEIN were published: one in 1818, and one in 1831. The more popular one is the 1831 version. In that one, Elizabeth is “adopted“, but in the 1818 version, she was Alphonse's niece and Victor's real cousin. By 1831, Shelley had experienced the death of two children and her husband, which gave her a more pessimistic view on the story and made her more morally cautious. She also softened Victor's character. 4w
Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe I wondered which version I had—Project Gutenberg wasn‘t clear! Now I know I have the 1831 text. What an interesting change. Thank you! 4w
dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly I hoped the Elizabeth distinction would help! Not a lot of issues list the publication date! No idea why. 😍 4w
Bklover @dabbe- thanks for the info!🩵. I didn‘t know there were two versions. Victor is going to be an interesting character 🤨 4w
dabbe @Bklover YW, and boy is he! 🧡🤎💛 4w
Roary47 Well, I wasn‘t reading to much into it so just thought of him as an overprotective brother. 3w

mcctrish I‘m so happy for Molly to feel happy ❤️ Cynthia is engaged to 2 men #thattracks is she using her money to pay off his debts and keep him quiet ? 4mo
Ruthiella I too am so pleased that Molly can spend some quality time with her father. The reader also feels the relief of Mrs. Gibson‘s absence. 4mo

willaful @Ruthiella yes, very much so. Though I kind of hate all the kindly neighbors for not leaving them be. Again I'm reminded of Austen, this time in the way your time is not your own. 4mo
Cuilin The social calls are eating into #DaddyDaughterTime @Ruthiella yes I‘m enjoying my own break from Mrs Gibson 😆 (edited) 4mo
ElizaMarie That Cynthia - ugh! Her juggling men totally tracks @mcctrish 4mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella reading about #notarealclare processing how to get her way is exhausting 4mo
mcctrish @dabbe the cheese and bread lunch eaten from their laps is the precursor of KD eaten from the pot ✊🏻 4mo
Bookwormjillk I know what I‘m having for lunch tomorrow 🧀🥖☕️ 4mo
BookmarkTavern 😂😂😂😂😂😂 4mo
dabbe @mcctrish 🤩 4mo
willaful I just remembered, I was so confused by Molly's mother having also been named Preston. What an odd thing for an author to do, unless it's somehow going to be relevant to the plot, but since no one even remarks on it I don't think it is. 4mo
rubyslippersreads @willaful That confused me too. 4mo
