BarkingMadRead I loved

The Rushworth Family Plot: A Novel

BarkingMadRead Also, I read Ghosted awhile back and it was really good! (edited) 7h

Andrea313 Northranger by Rex Ogle was lots of fun, and I'm enjoying Ghosted so far. But I did a re-read of the following and any silly charm it may have once held drastically faded into sheer stupidity:

Northanger Alibi

TheBookHippie Not yet 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ it‘s been a bit wild here. 4h

Lcsmcat @mcctrish Exactly! 14h

ElizaMarie Call me momma!? WHAT! I do not like this woman! And Again with the Cheese!!! 13h

Clare-Dragonfly She‘s so annoying! Oh, I‘d be totally happy to keep Betty, if only she would attend to my every whim! 🙄 And can the Gibsons afford this maid she wants to hire? Doesn‘t seem like she‘s thought about what is affordable, just how much she needs to spend to get her away from her current employer. 11h

julieclair This whole chapter made me sad. 😕 6h

Bklover @mcctrish You said it!! 😂. Would have been a short book though!! 3h

mcctrish It was a really long chapter that seemed to go off on tangents but, for me, Preston is bad and everyone is obsessed with Osborne for no reason 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 💯 2d

willaful Yes, Harriet can be trusted on this one, I think.

I wonder if Molly is going to talk herself into being in love with Osborne, even though he's not exactly what she imagined. 1d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish Harriet did her a solid keeping her away from creepy Mr Preston 1d

mcctrish @willaful Roger is standing right in front of her 👩‍❤️‍👨 1d

willaful @mcctrish I know! 1d

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m hoping that Molly/Roger will be endgame, and if it is, I just love how this romance is developing. I also love the way Mrs. Gaskell writes old maids! The Miss Brownings are delightful to read about! 1d

julieclair Preston‘s paying attention to Molly to mask his feelings for Miss Kirkpatrick, Molly‘s convincing herself that Osborne is swoon worthy, and meanwhile Roger just continues on being his kind, thoughtful, dependable self. Things are getting interesting! 6h

peanutnine Wait, I feel like I missed something. How do we know this Preston guy? 3d

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine we don‘t 🤷🏻‍♀️ we just met him today. I‘m just getting bad vibes 3d

peanutnine @BarkingMadRead okay cool, just making sure. There are so many characters to keep track of I thought I missed one 😅 3d

Ruthiella @peanutnine I think he was mentioned briefly earlier as the land manager for this estate who had done Mrs. Kirkpatrick favors like providing her with game or produce from the estate. @BarkingMadRead I agree, this guy feels skeevy.😬 2d

mcctrish Mr Preston is in love with Miss Kirkpatrick? I‘m not sure #mommydearest #notarealclare is going to approve and is Mr Gibson getting cold feet ? I hope so, this marriage is giving #titanicvibes 2d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead possibly so 😔 2d

willaful Mr. Gibson certainly has plenty of reason for cold feet! But is there anything he can do about it now?

I kept being so uncomfortable every time Molly was allowed to be alone with this guy... what happened to being so careful of her, hmmm? 2d

Bookwormjillk We certainly shouldn‘t trust Preston 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Yes, he‘s a land agent—I had to CTRL+F his name but I did find that 😂 2d

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly gotta love technology - I had gottrm confused too! 2d

willaful Definitely got some Emma echoes in this chapter, with Lord Whassisface being so proud of his “matchmaking.“ If only NotClare was like Mrs. Weston!

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful My thoughts exactly! 3d

willaful @Bookwormjillk I'm wondering if she actually going to pull off making him happy, just because she's generally so good at it. I'm honestly surprised he's not sick of her already, given he's not much for demonstrations of affection, but then again, he has been single for a long time... 3d

Ruthiella @willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I thought of Emma too! 😂 And yes to @mcctrish @ElizaMarie SO MANY RED FLAGS 🚩‼️ ⛔️⚠️🚨 3d

Emma | Jane Austen

pick

I thoroughly enjoyed Emma much more after reading Rebecca romneys Jane Austen‘s bookshelf‘s , previously I started it a few times and put it to one side finding Emma annoying , a meangirl match making busy body - Austen herself said she‘d created aheroine “whom no one but myself will much like “ oh but this book is packed with sharp observations of human nature and character, I have aneighbouris Miss bates not financially butwith verbal diarrhoea

Bookbuyingaddict so many wonderful wonderful quote so glad I had another crack at it in the 250th year anniversary . Urge everyone unconvinced 🤨 to give Emma a go . Jane Austen really was a genius 4d

It will be very dull when I shall have killed myself, as it were, and live only in trying to do, and to be, as other people like. I don't see any end to it. I might as well never have lived.
