TheAromaofBooks The whole situation with Macaroni felt anticlimactic after he was the villain for most of the book. 3d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks for real! Like he was just a footnote 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d

mcctrish That‘s was so much blather for nothing 3d

Bookwormjillk This is the kind of chapter that really makes me not like this book. Emily is about to get to the bottom of things but oh wait there‘s music 🙄 3d

Clare-Dragonfly All the hints about Emily looking like the marchioness! But she couldn‘t exactly have a secret kid, could she?! 3d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought at first, until they started talking about her face turning black 🤮 so bizarre 3d

AllDebooks Anyone else losing count of all the Counts? 😅 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead I thought the same thing!!! 2d

mcctrish @AllDebooks too many counts to count (edited) 1d

Bookwormjillk Blissfully short chapter. I really hope this isn‘t winding up to a Jane Eyre ending. 4d

eeclayton #blessed Good riddance V! 4d

TheAromaofBooks I just want Emily to be able to go back and home and live out her days in peace and solitude, but I think she's going to end up saddled with one of these losers for life 😂 4d

julieclair I‘m proud of her for kicking V to the curb. I didn‘t think she had it in her. 4d

Bklover @julieclair Neither did I! @TheAromaofBooks Don‘t you think she‘d be thrilled to just go home and find Theresa(isn‘t that her name?) and the two of them could hang out and she could write poetry all day! 4d

TheAromaofBooks @Bklover - Yes!! And have a little dog?? (I just realized - what happened to the dog?? Did I miss its tragic end, or it did it just fade out of the story??) 3d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks that poor dog poof 💨 disappears it seems. Abandoned. 3d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I totally forgot about the dog! 🤔 3d

mcctrish What just happened? V admits to the debts he could never repay and that he isn‘t worthy of Emily AND is mad that she doesn‘t want to shackle herself to him?! He questions how long the count has been her friend? Meanwhile E has spent about 32 minutes in his actual company and expects her to marry him after whoring and gambling ? RUN AWAY EMILY 5d

Bklover @mcctrish yes! When I think of all the weeping and fainting over V it makes me want to scream. You are right- she doesn‘t even really know him! 5d

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 5d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bklover #accurate 5d

Bookwormjillk At first I was kind of on V's side because yeah she just met this Count guy. But then he admitted to it all so bye V. And what is the story of the picture? 5d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 5d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 5d

Clare-Dragonfly V keeps going “I‘m terrible and it‘s exactly like the Count says” except no one actually lays out what Emily or V is thinking. I‘d put money on V‘s actual actions not being as bad as what Emily thinks. Of course, I don‘t know whether he‘ll actually TELL HER that before they both die of old age! 5d

julieclair If we don‘t find out about the picture, I‘m going to go nuts. I‘m warming up my book-throwing arm… 4d

AllDebooks If this was published now, it would be a novella once a skilled editor got busy with their red pen 6d

peanutnine "God forbid anyone tells a story immediately" ??? so true. And all these hints to what she saw in the letter, just tell us!!! 6d

Clare-Dragonfly Why the HECK can‘t Emily just say “oh that picture? It was my dad‘s.” It‘s not like she has any more information than that! 6d

TheAromaofBooks Oh man, now I just don't know who Emily is going to marry! All her choices are terrible! I'm kind of leaning towards Henri; at least he hasn't been a stalker yet 😂 6d

Bookwormjillk On one hand this chapter was frustrating because of the non-storytelling but on the other hand at least the picture came back up and V is finally here. On to part 4! #WeAreGettingThere 6d

Bookwormjillk I'm just so glad Emily appeared and we didn't have a whole new castle story. 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk that would have been devastating 🤣 1w

mcctrish It really could have gone either way at this point 1w

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk aaaarrrgggh, can you imagine?? 🫣😱 1w

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks yes I actually can that‘s why I was worried 😂 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m relieved that we made it back to this castle. I spent like 14 chapters wondering when Emily was going to figure out that Udolpho was the creepy castle she saw before. Then I realized it was in Italy so it must be a different castle, and I wondered why they spent so much time being aware of that creepy castle! I also realized that the convent Blanche lived in must be a different one. I think Radcliffe has too many settings! 🙄 1w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks There‘s a creepy castle around every corner in this book. Somebody has to live in them! So the obvious answer is to introduce more characters. 🤓🤣 1w

Clare-Dragonfly And yeah, as soon as the guy wouldn‘t tell Ludo his name, I knew it wasn‘t going to be V. 1w

Bookwormjillk I was a bit shocked it wasn‘t V myself. But then again we still have many chapters to go. 1w

Bklover I wonder where V is? Maybe he‘s moved on! (I sure hope not after all this) 1w

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 1w

mcctrish @Bklover he‘s still partying in Paris 1w

TheAromaofBooks I'm soooo confused about why she got sent away and then brought back when it's obvious Macaroni doesn't care about her safety at all?? Did he just think she might get killed before he got the paper signed?! 2w

mcctrish @Ruthiella she is now exhausted by her tears so maybe we can catch a break ( I didn‘t even realize she was crying. Again. ) 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Macaroni obviously isn‘t going to kill her, because he wouldn‘t inherit her estates (I presume her closest living relative would, and that‘s the mom‘s brother, whom it would be a lot harder to get the property from). But this seems like a lovely place so I‘m suspicious of the niceness. 2w

Bklover To me this book feels so much like it was written by a man! All the fainting and crying and weak women. And I mean a man back in that time. (edited) 2w

Bookwormjillk So weird. Glad she made a friend though. Random sea nymph poem inserted here. 2w

julieclair I‘m glad I don‘t have to “analyze” this book for an English class. I don‘t know what I‘d do about that sea nymph song! 😂 Which, by the way, was sung in the audio version and was completely tuneless!But at least Emily has made a friend. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I was just thinking this couldn‘t possibly be set up by Macaroni because he doesn‘t need to be this subtle when he can just threaten her. And I was proven right! I‘m wondering if her aunt is really dead? Was that the body she saw? And if they thought Ludo was dead and he wasn‘t, could that be the case again? 3w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder the same. It‘s dark. And she‘s … Emily… so it could totally be a mistake! 3w

mcctrish Everything is so halfassed in this story! Nobody ever gets the whole story out, nobody reads the papers before burning, describes what‘s in the frame, figures out who‘s been left for dead, actually kills the person they want dead! I‘m just supposed to be happy there were no tears 3w

Bookwormjillk Long line to poison that dude. Also did I miss why she‘s so determined to find Auntie? Auntie doesn‘t like her except for that one sort of compliment that one time. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I have no idea, if I were Emily, I‘d be trying to escape. Forget auntie. 3w

AllDebooks Radcliffe is overly fond of the word 'wither'. There has been an awful lot of withering lately 3w

TheAromaofBooks I honestly kind of admired Emily in this chapter - she's completely terrified but still determined to find her aunt and make sure she's okay. And she seems to be fainting more than crying; haven't decided whether or not that's an improvement 😂 3w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I know, like what‘s worse? The fainting or the crying? At least the fainting takes less time 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

Clare-Dragonfly And then there are the times she almost faints but sits down and breathes through it… 3w

mcctrish I realized at the start of my reading today we are only 43% through this nonsense and I could cry. And then we get a short chapter which I should be thrilled about, except we‘ve been reading for 100 years and nothing but crying has happened except V, after moping around in Emily‘s absence has moved to Paris to become a club kid 🤯 #wherethefuckisthisgoing (edited) 3w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 this is scarily accurate 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t like the short chapters! I am updating my reading percentage daily in Storygraph and when the percentage stays the same Storygraph thinks I haven‘t read any of this book 🤣 3w

Clare-Dragonfly So V hung around until his regiment couldn‘t do without him anymore. And since they needed him so badly he… made social connections and started a gambling habit? 🤨 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish micro-aggression is a good way to read this book 🤣 It isn‘t Storygraph‘s fault, I would be able to use page numbers if I were reading a physical book, but also there‘s *no way* I would read this in hard copy! 3w

#Two4Tuesday is my fav question, thanks @TheSpineView

1/ I tend to plan ahead what I read, one of my favourite things is lining up future reads.

2/ I'm going to go for the #currentread for #hashtagbrigade, this one didn't go to plan, it took me 5 months to read and I was sure when I finished I'd think never again but no, it's left an impression and I would definitely read again, next time I'm hoping it doesn't take this long.

TheSpineView So glad you enjoy #Two4Tuesday Thanks for playing along! 😘 3w

I didn‘t read any nonfiction yesterday but inspired by our chapter of Udolpho I did look up the definitions of verdant and verdure.

Verdant- green with grass or other rich vegetation
Verdure- lush green vegetation

Classic. Highly suggest you make like Catherine Moreland and get your read on.

Once I got over just how long this novel was, I was on a roll. The heroine certainly got her money's worth out of adventure.

I also got this fabulous mug decorated with books by female writers (I already have the other bookish mug they do!) from Santa 💖

I've only read 4 of the books, but I own a few more waiting to be read and I've found some new additions to the TBR too...

How many have you read? Are there any you'd particularly recommend?

Now to make myself a mug of tea 😁

erinreads My mom got me this mug for Christmas! 3y

RaeLovesToRead @erinreads It's awesome, right? 😊😁 How many of the books have you read? Do you have a favourite? I've already downloaded a couple of interesting looking ones on Kindle! 3y

erinreads I‘ve only read 5. Jane Eyre was my favorite! 3y

RaeLovesToRead @erinreads I love Jane Eyre too! ♥ 3y

Vansa I can't recommend North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell enough.Its an excellent, thought provoking book that explores the Industrial Revolution,the rights of workers,and is still extremely relevant,and also manages to have an absolutely swoony romance.One of my favourite books,also a spectacular tv show.Im also a huge fan of Katherine Mansfield razor-sharp insights. 3y

RaeLovesToRead @Vansa Thanks! I have a copy of North and South in my cupboard and now I really want to read it! Will check out Katherine Mansfield too... 😊😁 3y

Some lovely poetry and descriptions of nature (though excessive, perhaps). I did get a little weary of Emily becoming ‘insensible‘ (apparently the 18th century equivalent to swooning 😂).

I loved this so much more than I thought I would. Little drawn out at times but overall compelling writing, enchanting plot and delightful characters. 5 ⭐️

@mklong how you doing?

BarbaraBB Great review! 4y

mklong I‘m still loving it too! I finally have time to relax after a very busy holiday and should finish in the next couple of days. 4y

mklong And I keep forgetting to mention how much I love the annotations in the Oxford World‘s Classic edition! I love that they show both the travelogues that inspired Radcliffe and the literature and art that was inspired by her. 4y
