Ruthiella Such a delightfully creepy beginning! 2d

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. 2d

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 😂 2d

Bklover Ooh, this is fun! Pesca is wonderful! Mom was fun too, although Sis is a stuffy thing! 2d

Bookwormjillk Super creepy. I loved it. 2d

Leftcoastzen Wonderful! So happy I joined in ! Great intrigue in this beginning. Love Pesca . 2d

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? 😂 2d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks 💯 2d

ElizaMarie I love how quickly something happens! I‘m excited to read more!!! 2d

mcctrish Another great start #wearentinlarkriseanymore 2d

julieclair Off to an intriguing, creepy start. Love it! 2d

dabbe @mcctrish You mean we're not going to read 40 pages on just farming equipment? 🤩 2d

mcctrish @dabbe or the endless ramblings of drunk Russians or the lack of mysteries in verdant valleys 2d

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. 3w

mcctrish I am happy to be out of this #underwhelmedonallcounts what happened to Laura? Not even flora cares 3w

Ruthiella I really liked this book a lot! I didn‘t mind that it was slow and plotless. 😆😍 3w

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. 3w

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) 3w

Bookwormjillk Also Miss Lane gives Misery vibes and I would have liked to hear more about that. #ImYourBiggestFan 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk omg she 💯 does! 🤣🤣🤣 3w

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. 3w

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. 3w

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. 3w

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!!! 3w

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 🤯!!! 3w

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! 😂 3w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish omg the freaking hat 🙄 #priorities 3mo

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 3mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for real though! 3mo

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. ☠️ 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I would love it if it was a dead body, we need some action. 3mo

TheAromaofBooks I literally looked up spoilers to see what was behind the curtain because I couldn't deal with not knowing! 😂 3mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks Omg you know?!? Don‘t tell me. But omg. No. Don‘t tell me. Ahhhhhhh 3mo

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I think you just gave me my justification to peek. 🫣 😊😊 3mo

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.” 3mo

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! 😆 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was glad to see that Manchon is still around! 3mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin 😂😂😂 5mo

Cuilin @mcctrish on a daily basis due to brain fog I say “is this Covid, ADHD, or menopause?” I‘m now going to add in “or was I bitten by a vampire?” 🧛‍♂️😝 5mo

mcctrish @Cuilin I‘m going to say vampire from here on out, makes my life more exciting 5mo

CatLass007 🧛‍♂️ 5mo

rubyslippersreads Lucy certainly had a lot of beaux. And three out of the four actually wanted to *give* her their blood. 😂🦇🩸 5mo

Bklover @Cuilin I blame everything on menopause, but maybe I should switch to 🧛‍♀️😂 5mo

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

Cuilin @mcctrish “get thee to a penitentiary” lol 7mo

Cuilin A girls life hangs in the balance, but heaven forbid we let Mr. Bellingham get annoyed. 😳 7mo

IndoorDame I thought even at this time a penitentiary was a prison. Is there another meaning? 7mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I looked it up, it‘s more of a charitable institution for fallen women, it‘s basically a rehab to make them “fit for society” 🙄 7mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead 😬 better than prison I guess, but we all know those places have super shady track records historically… 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking a penitentiary must be more like a workhouse. A place for “fallen women” makes sense—a place for penitents… I‘m disappointed in my Penguin Classics edition having endnotes, but not one that explains “penitentiary.” 7mo

mcctrish @Cuilin YES! Heaven forbid the boy is annoyed 7mo
