The Magnolia Palace: A Novel | Fiona Davis

I love all of Fiona‘s historical novels. I had no idea there was a real Frick House in NYC, but this is a fictional exploration of Lillian, a sculptors muse, who accidentally ends up being Helen Frick‘s personal assistant.

kspenmoll We are planning to visit the Frick in the spring. 6d

The Gilded Age: a tale of to-day, volume two | Mark Twain

Season three, over?
Say it isn‘t so! Rehab time —
withdrawals imminent.

Well somehow, season 3 of The Gilded Age is over. It was so good! Now we gotta wait 2 years for season 4. 😭

rubyslippersreads I‘m happy that Gladys appears to be heading for a happier life than her real-life counterpart. 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @rubyslippersreads me too!! Seems very similar to Cora & Robert on Downton Abbey — I am pleasantly surprised! 🤓 3mo

The Gilded Age: Overture to the American Century | Alan Axelrod

@jenlovesjt47 - I'm on season 3, episode 3. Had to share a rough haiku because the change in dynamic between these two is hilarious! 🤣

#haikuhive #haikuaday

JenlovesJT47 Ohh how the turn tables!! 😅😅😅 When I tell you, the scream I scrumpt the first time I saw it when Bannister addresses Ada as head of the house 😍😍😍 3mo

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 And then when they print Ada's name as the donor and not Agnes' - I nearly peed laughing during that scene. 🤣😍🤣 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Ooh so you‘re just now watching these eps for the first time?! Ohhhh you are in for a treat, season 3 is the best so far imo! Can‘t believe there‘s only one episode left this season 😭 BUT luckily they already got renewed for season 4 🤓 3mo

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 It's so good! I can't stop watching. 🙃 Oh, and I watch it on my tablet for the same reason. 😅 3mo

Cuilin “in reality, they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs” I‘m really loving Wharton‘s writing. 3mo

lil1inblue @Cuilin I noted this passage, as well! Such a good one! 3mo

lil1inblue @mcctrish Same! 😅 3mo

lil1inblue I share in the eyeroll regarding Archer's reflections! 😅 🙄 😐 3mo

KAO I love the writing, but oh my goodness—SO many people to try to keep straight! I glazed over through part of this listing of who‘s in and who‘s out and the family heritage of each. 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly @KAO I really tried but I lost track! The whole genealogy thing of defining people by their last name even though obviously half of every couple previously had a different last name is so nonsensical. 3mo

KAO @Clare-Dragonfly Exactly my sentiments! But—onward! Surely this will get sorted out! 3mo

Wednesday? Drat! It should
be Sunday! Railroad Daddy
is calling my name.

I‘m finally all caught up on The Gilded Age & am currently having withdrawals. Sunday can‘t get here fast enough!! 😋😍

#haikuhive #haikuaday #poetry #thegildedage

Jari-chan Oh, it's Wednesday? I thought it was Thursday already 🙈😅 thanks for the reminder 🤣 3mo

lil1inblue I really need to catch up, too! I need some #railroaddaddy time! 😍 😋 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @Jari-chan @CBee 😅 all the days run together! Can‘t believe it‘s only Wednesday! 😵‍💫 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue the last few episodes have been some high stakes drama! So good, I‘m addicted ♥️🤗 3mo

dabbe Your words remind me how much I love reading books about and during this error. Edith Wharton is my fave. 🩶🖤🩶 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I have never read any of Edith Wharton‘s books although I have a bunch of them. Which one would you recommend reading first? 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Without a doubt, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. The #hashtagbrigade is reading this next month, if you're interested. I'm happily rereading it because it's in my top 5 of all time. We only read a chapter a day. Here's the link for more info: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2885440

P.S. The Martin Scorcese movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder is exquisite as well. 🩵💙🩵 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe ooh yay, I can do a chapter a day! I‘ve been stressing about being behind on all of the buddy reads but that‘s doable. I‘ve already got the book. Thank you! 🤗 3mo

The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family | Mary S. Lovell

It‘s always interesting to find the same historical figure in two books. I‘m currently watching #TheGildedAge and #Outrageous and wanted some coordinating reading material. #MitfordSisters

kspenmoll I am watching Outrages too! Must start The Gilded Age! 3mo

Butterfinger I have been fascinated by the Mitfords since I read Nancy's Christmas Pudding and Pigeon Pie. I have been looking forward to the show.

The Gilded Age: a tale of to-day, volume two | Mark Twain

PSA: if you like period pieces and you haven‘t seen it yet, you MUST watch The Gilded Age on HBO. The costumes are fabulous & the cast is excellent. Mr. George Russell here (Morgan Spector) has been dubbed Railroad Daddy by the fans & it is very fitting!! 🥵😏😆 Lort, that man. 🥵🥵🥵😋

The union may call him
Robber Barron — but we call
him Railroad Daddy. 😉

AnnCrystal Just went and read about this show, looks like a catching soap opera 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🎬🐝💝. 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal it‘s addictive! Season 3 just came out so I‘m doing a rewatch and loving it even more the second time around! ♥️ 4mo

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 that show does look addictive worthy. You mentioned that you live in New York?? It must be wild to see any historical movie based in your city. I know I love it when Los Angeles is featured ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I live in central Florida, close to Disney. I did post yesterday about NYC but I‘ve never been there — although I feel like I‘ve been there a thousand times in books and movies ☺️ I would LOVE to see a historical show set in this area. The closest I‘ve got is Dexter & The Golden Girls 😁 And L.A. is a great city! I lived about an hour away from LAX for 2 years in college. Got to see a couple of Dodgers games. Cali is beautiful. ♥️ 4mo

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 🆒 movies and books allows is to venture anywhere ☺️👌🏼💝💝💝. 4mo

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal The Gilded Age is so good! I‘m also a fan. Did you know that large parts of it are filmed at the mansions in Newport, RI? 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @Amiable the scenery is stunning and the costumes are 🤌🏻. Mrs. Russell‘s dresses are 😍😍😍 — well, all of them really, but hers are the best! ♥️ 4mo

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 I do love George Russell, too. That man can buy a copper mine from me anytime. 😄 (edited) 4mo

Librarybelle Love this show! 4mo

TheBookHippie I adore that show. And OMG George Russell 🔥🔥🔥 4mo

AnnCrystal @Amiable 🤩 my favorite! I love seeing the holidays celebrated on my favorite shows. I bet seeing those mansions all decked out is a feast for the eyes 🥳📺💖💖💖. 4mo

dabbe A historical haiku! I love this time period, and now I want to read Edith Wharton again. 🖤🐝💛 4mo

lil1inblue Railroad daddy... I hadn't heard that before, but damn it fits! 🔥 🔥 🔥 4mo

julieclair Ooohhhh…. I haven‘t seen The Gilded Age, but I can tell I will love it!!! 😀 A few posts back, you asked about our favorite time periods to live in, and I think the gilded age would be mine. ⭐️ 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @julieclair it‘s so good!! I decided to do a rewatch so I haven‘t watched the two newest episodes yet and I keep dodging spoilers right and left. 😆 it‘s a great show! ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
