“If there were no darkness, should we appreciate the sun? Warmth after cold, food after hunger, drink after thirst, the fatherly greeting after being away, the comfort and dryness of home after a ride in the rain, the warmth and peace and security of one‘s fireside after being among enemies. Unless there was contrast there might be satiety.”

5 Poldark down; 7 more to go. I freely admit that whenever characters of Poldark series start talking about the mine I start skimming. TV show follows Book fairly close. I struggle with this series. Hopefully will be better when reach the point not yet shown on tv. A friend gave me the whole set & said pass them on when I'm done. I'm determined to finish & have the added incentive that my library is taking them when I'm done. #mounttbr

rabbitprincess I stopped watching the series because I didn't want to see some of the characters from the books (e.g. Osborne Whitworth 😡). I did find books 5 and 6 the most stressful to read so far (I've read 9 of them). 6y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @rabbitprincess I'm carrying on for Demelza and Caroline. That whole Ross/Elizabeth drama makes me cringe. I can no longer view him as the hero of the story. 6y
rabbitprincess @missnavigation Dwight is my favourite, although that could be because I picture him as TV Dwight 😍 6y

Poor Valentine Warleggan. Born under a “black moon”. Lunar eclipse or omen of tragedies to come?

[DELETED] 3803335244 Great series! 7y
Libby1 Yes, it is, @ForeverNerdy . Have you read the entire series? 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 @Libby1 yes, I've read them all. It's 12 books total. I like Capt Poldark in the Masterpiece series but cannot stand him in the books. Lol 😂 7y

"Blemishes on the beauty of a person one loves are like grace notes adding something to a piece of music."

"Judas," said Demelza. "What a pretty speech. You'd best go to sleep or I shall begin to think you're serious."

Love these two. ❤️

Poldark book 5 here I come!

Only the lateness of the hour is preventing me from starting this next one.

I am not cool with how this book ended, and after reading the summary of the next book in the series (The Four Swans), I'm not fully convinced of the merits of continuing. At any rate, I won't be watching the new season of Poldark 😐

(The reason this is not a Pan is that I liked the adventure in France and the first part of the book)

LauraBrook 😮😳😮 I need to get cracking on this series so I can find out what you're talking about! 7y
rabbitprincess @LauraBrook Basically, being a woman sucked in the 1790s 😐 7y
YouBookMe Ahh, now I'm nervous to read it! Will have to compare notes with you once I catch up. 7y
rabbitprincess @YouBookMe I'll be interested to compare notes with you! 7y

That mild panic when you're out for the day and only have 180 pages of reading material to last 7 hours 😬😬😬

rubyslippersreads I'd call that terror! 😱 7y
DeborahSmall That's my worst nightmare!! 💕 7y
JazzFeathers Auch! But you could read the first intalments of lots of stories on Serial Reader ;) 7y
Bookquilter And then I calmly remind myself that I have kindle app on phone, and there is an emergency book in the car.... I really don't like that feeling 😉 7y

I desperately want to go back to Cornwall. Spent a week there & it wasn't nearly enough. This pic I took on the walk from the Levant to Botallack mines (the latter plays "Wheal Leisure" in the TV adaptation of Poldark, and they were filming at the mine that day!). #booktober

LauraBrook Cornwall seems so beautiful and wild. And how cool that they were filming when you were there! 💚 7y
rabbitprincess @LauraBrook Yes! We didn't see any of the actors, just the crew & vehicles, but it was nice to think of them being nearby. Cornwall is totally awesome. We went in September, which was nice & less crowded. Very popular in the summer. 7y
Dragon So beautiful and I'm watching the Poldark series 😀 7y
rabbitprincess @Dragon I'm waiting for the library to get Season 2 on DVD so that I can binge-watch :) Looking forward to it! 7y
