The mysteries of Udolpho | Ann Ward Radcliffe, Bonamy Dobr�e
post image

I'm currently participating in the final #hashtagbrigade #buddyread of the year. 10ish chapters left, and I just don't care anymore. I've never read a book with more loose ends, dead ends, and 'we won't talk about that' plot devices in my life. Thank goodness for @BarkingMadRead keeping us sane and the humour flowing. Otherwise, I would have bailed around chapter 10!
FYI, I got bored and did a word count. 🙄😅

AllDebooks @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead Just so you know, it was on Kindle. I didn't sit there with a book and highlighter. I do have a life! 😅 3w
BarkingMadRead But still. You had to do the search 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w
AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead 😬 you got me 3w
dabbe I managed to get through THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV thanks to this group and @BarkingMadRead's hilarious posts and @Aimeesue's hysterical dioramas, but this one? I bailed at Book 2. And I had also tried to read it a few years ago. I just couldn't do it. Again. Writing that goes on and on an on and on with tears all over the place and too many descriptions and meandering everywhere ... bleh! I'll be up for the January read, though! 🤩 3w
mcctrish @dabbe The Bros was better ( never thought I‘d say that ) 3w
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish you know it‘s a bad book when #thebrosarebetter 3w
mcctrish @AllDebooks the fainting count surprises me, I must have fainted myself and missed then but all those ithers I have felt and I attribute them to the author‘s dithering 3w

AllDebooks @Clare-Dragonfly it's telling that I would rather do that than read the bloody thing. 😅 2w
TheAromaofBooks It honestly seems like there should be more crying 😂 Maybe we should add “tears“ to the word count?? Poor Emily, it just seems like her eyes must be swollen shut all the time! 2w
dabbe @mcctrish Well, that makes me feel a wee bit better. And you even helped me through a few chapters, and I still couldn't get through it! 🤩😂🤩 2w
mcctrish @dabbe you‘ve honestly missed nothing cuz nothing ever happens 2w
