Graciouswarriorprincess I will start when I get off work this afternoon. Thanks for the tag! 😊 2mo

Bookwormjillk This seems like a lighter read than Ruth? Maybe? We‘ll see. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I‘m hoping! It seems so 2mo

mcctrish I forgot what day it was so got my kindle copy 🙏🏻 so Miss Pym thinks she‘s a hedonist? I‘m curious about what she and Emily came apart over. It sounds like a lovely place to spend the winter sucks that I have to spend mine at work 2mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I hope we find out about the quarrel, I‘m also intrigued! 2mo

Liz_M @LitsyEvents 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Take me off the tag list for this. I‘m just too busy ☹️ 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly gotcha 2mo

Cuilin I think the quarrel is a case of familiarity breeding contempt. Imagine wintering in a luxury hotel on the Italian Riviera though. 2mo

willaful I'm definitely intrigued about the friendship. Miss Pym seems to be a bit of a status chaser? But perhaps will realize she's happier with someone she can be herself with. 2mo

TheBookHippie My book arrives Tuesday! I‘ll catch up! 2mo

rubyslippersreads I‘m just catching up, but enjoying it so far. I think the quarrel is due to too much togetherness. I live the novel‘s setting, but am not so sure I‘d love vacationing with this group of people. 😏 2mo

rubyslippersreads Wouldn‘t Bradshaw giving Ruth something as personal as a dress be considered extremely improper? Maybe if Mrs. Bradshaw had given it to her, or Mr. & Mrs., or even as a gift from the two little girls (not Jemima, though!) 😏 (edited) 3mo

mcctrish Bradshaw is absolutely the most pompous self interested patronizing ass in the history of literature 🤯 he wants to buy a dress for Ruth because her best realty isn‘t and it would be totally okay if she told everybody that he treated her @rubyslippersreads no, because he‘s a righteous prick so no one could think that 🙄 3mo

AllDebooks Not a fan of Bradshaw and his manipulations 3mo

currentlyreadinginCO Not a fan of any of this!! 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t like Bradshaw, but he‘s not that awful—he just wants the whole world to see him as rich and generous! @rubyslippersreads He already gave her fabric and the Bensons persuaded her to accept it—I‘m pretty sure that‘s what the gift would be this time as well, silk fabric, and she can make it into a dress herself. 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also, I‘m now worried that F is going to propose to Ruth and either she‘ll accept and go down Tess‘s road, or tell him why she can‘t accept him and be thrown out of her job. There‘s no winning for poor Ruth! 3mo

willaful Getting a Mr. Knightly/Emma vibe here, though neither of them is nearly as interesting. And inviting Ruth definitely backfired. 🙄

I wonder what a “red-hot Valentine“ consisted of in Gaskell's time. 😂 3mo

Bookwormjillk Whelp 3mo

rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish You‘re right; he‘s set himself up as being completely righteous and beyond contempt. 😠 3mo

Ruthiella Honestly I find Jemima a breath of fresh air in her temper Ruth is just too GOOD. I know Gaskell had her reasons, but for this modern reader, she‘s a little too perfect. 3mo

julieclair @currentlyreadinginCO 💯! 2mo

julieclair The deeper we get into this book, the sadder I‘m becoming. Ruth is so good, and she just seems trapped by her past (most of which was beyond her control). I hope @willaful is right and we get a Knightly/Emma ending. 2mo

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella I agree with you about Jemima. Ruth is sweet, but such a goody-two-shoes, she seems almost one-dimensional. 2mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Alec reminds me of the evil Robert Mitchum who faked it as a preacher in THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. #hellnoindeedy

And I knew we'd see that asshole again, right? Just when Tess is at her weakest. #notagoodsign #atall 12mo

Bookwormjillk Tess has to suffer when Alec gets to “repent” 12mo

Clare-Dragonfly I did not see that coming! I thought the preacher would be the paint guy. 12mo

Ruthiella It was the boots that set me off. She doesn‘t even get to keep her boots. Come on, Hardy! 😢 12mo

KAO I‘m with you, @Ruthiella ! Come on, not the boots too! Just when you think things can‘t get any worse. 12mo

Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness | Robert Waldinger, Marc Schulz

pick

I don‘t read many self help type books. Not my favorite genre. But once in a while one catches my eye. This was quite an interesting read. The stronger relationships you have, the happier you are, and the longer you live. I‘m going to focus on building & maintaining my relationships because I want to live a long time and enjoy my life.
