Leftcoastzen 😂👏 3d

Bookwormjillk Super stressful 3d

Leftcoastzen I was hoping they might be able to get a letter out & get a response. #Countporkchop keeps a close eye on things , I know novels of this era draws things out , but I‘m yelling at the book if there is a secret , tell Laura & Marian NOW!😄 3d

mcctrish #countporkchop is the mastermind! How much money does #percypig owe him? I loathe the countess, Ann is the hero 2d

Clare-Dragonfly How exciting! I wanted to cheer when Laura wouldn‘t sign the paper without reading it. She learned something from Emily! 😂 I‘m glad #countporkchop only read Marian‘s letter—I was afraid he would have tampered with it. 2d

ElizaMarie #WhatIsTheSecret !? I need to know! The suspense keeps building up! 2d

julieclair So much suspense. #bitingmynails I was surprised #Countporkchop didn‘t just destroy the letter after reading it. 1d

julieclair @mcctrish Yes to everything you said! 💯 1d

dabbe I can't stop laughing at the #percypig, #countporkchop and #countesscoldeye hashtags! 🤣 12h

BarkingMadRead @dabbe they take up so much space but it‘s so worth it 🤣🤣🤣 12h

Clare-Dragonfly This is exciting! Pesca is such a delight. I‘ll be disappointed if the rest of the book is all at Limmeridge and he doesn‘t show up. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I do have to say, the description of “a woman in white” is not exactly calculated to get the right person back to the asylum 😂 1w

Bklover Ooh, this is fun! Pesca is wonderful! Mom was fun too, although Sis is a stuffy thing! 1w

Bookwormjillk Super creepy. I loved it. 1w

Leftcoastzen Wonderful! So happy I joined in ! Great intrigue in this beginning. Love Pesca . 1w

TheAromaofBooks This one is off to a great start!! I also loved Walter's sister vs mom - isn't it funny how as you get older, you're less concerned about what people think, so you start having fun again? 😂 1w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks 💯 1w

ElizaMarie I love how quickly something happens! I‘m excited to read more!!! 1w

Cuilin That ending was a bit underwhelming. I would also give it a soft pick as a novel, but the amateur historian in me #FullSend I‘m definitely gonna check out the TV series. 1mo

mcctrish I am happy to be out of this #underwhelmedonallcounts what happened to Laura? Not even flora cares 1mo

Ruthiella I really liked this book a lot! I didn‘t mind that it was slow and plotless. 😆😍 1mo

Bookwormjillk I think this would probably be a better TV show. Was afraid to watch before I finished so I wouldn‘t spoil the ending…but there was no ending? Anyway I would read the phone book with you all so I still enjoyed it for all my complaining. 1mo

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk @cuilin The TV show is great. I‘m still working on the book. Like @Ruthiella I don‘t mind the lack of plot, but I‘m marveling at how they made a series out of this. (edited) 1mo

Bookwormjillk Also Miss Lane gives Misery vibes and I would have liked to hear more about that. #ImYourBiggestFan 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk omg she 💯 does! 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

willaful Also a soft pick for me.

I was just reading some of Flora's history... not only did her favorite brother die in WWI but her son died in WWII. 😭 It was a hard time to be alive. 1mo

Deblovestoread Glad to have read it chp a day. I don't think i would have finished otherwise. I would have liked an epilog with how the rest of Laura's life went. I loved the show and am looking forward to a re-watch starting tonight. 1mo

KAO I really did enjoy this—though I would not likely have made it through without the daily accountability and all of your comments! Thank you! I just started watching episode 1 of season 1 of the 2008 series from PBS—and I can completely understand your frustration if you had seen the series before reading the book! So much drama in episode 1 already! Whoever wrote the script had modern audiences in mind, I‘m sure. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I did like this but I do wish some of it had been a bit more focused on Laura, as those were my favorite parts. But it was all very interesting - although I'm not sure I would have finished if it wasn't for this group!!! 1mo

dabbe We got the most detailed explanations for pretty much every single thing in Lark Rise and Candleford--plus extreme details for every little thing Laura did, every flower she saw, every game she played, ... yet we don't know why she just up and leaves? #wth? The ending made me go 🤯!!! 1mo

Bklover I actually enjoyed this somewhat, and I‘m glad we read it. Particularly enjoyed reading it with the #hashtagbrigade ! However I will admit that the idea of watching the show now is painful! 😂 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly That‘s why I called him Ludo in the first place 😂😂😂 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly And yeah, as soon as the guy wouldn‘t tell Ludo his name, I knew it wasn‘t going to be V. 3mo

Bookwormjillk I was a bit shocked it wasn‘t V myself. But then again we still have many chapters to go. 3mo

Bklover I wonder where V is? Maybe he‘s moved on! (I sure hope not after all this) 3mo

peanutnine I had a feeling the creeper wasn't V cause he would have already admitted it to Emily, he was always really frank about his stalker tendencies lol 3mo

mcctrish @Bklover he‘s still partying in Paris 3mo

julieclair @mcctrish I sure do hope you‘re wrong about partying in Paris, but my gut tells me you‘re right. 😒 3mo

mcctrish This. Was. Bonkers. Also does Ann use up all her words describing the scenery and has none left over for the actual stuff? And by stuff I mean papers that get burned and portraits that make you faint 4mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for real though! 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly This was such a long chapter but at least stuff happened? Very annoyed that we don‘t get to see what‘s behind the curtain. My money is on a dead body. ☠️ 4mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I would love it if it was a dead body, we need some action. 4mo

TheAromaofBooks I literally looked up spoilers to see what was behind the curtain because I couldn't deal with not knowing! 😂 4mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks Omg you know?!? Don‘t tell me. But omg. No. Don‘t tell me. Ahhhhhhh 4mo

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I think you just gave me my justification to peek. 🫣 😊😊 4mo

Bookwormjillk Finished this chapter at exactly 11:59 pm. You know it‘s a long one when the hashtags extend into the comments. I giggled a bit when Auntie was like”whatever.” 4mo

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @Bklover - I have to confess to the fact that I'm a spoiler lover 😂I don't like being stressed when I'm reading so sometimes I just gotta know! 😆 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was glad to see that Manchon is still around! 4mo

Bookwormjillk So much going on in this chapter! Bram keeps it moving! 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I made a connection on this read that Lucy‘s strange attacks start out specifically on the grave of a suicide. I don‘t know exactly what that would have meant to the CoE of the time, but from their comments earlier it‘s obviously a particularly bad place to be. 5mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk he sure does! So Renfeld has escaped, his dr is Lucy‘s betrothed? She‘s now addicted to vampire bites, Keanu is checked into the same hospital as Renfeld? Or sent to recover farther afield? Dracula‘s house is beside the hospital where Renfeld is hence the escape #themasterhascometohim #somuchbiting 5mo

Cuilin @Clare-Dragonfly I was just looking up vampire lore and came across other ways to become a vampire excluding being bitten by one, and suicide is on the list. (edited) 5mo

julieclair @Cuilin Interesting! I didn‘t realize there were other ways besides being bitten. 5mo
