#weekendreads

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.

I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.

The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .

mcctrish No matter what anyone says about Harriet, she can read the room regarding Mr Preston 3h
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish aggghhh I forgot about him! #selectivememory 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 2h
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.

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish Harriet did her a solid keeping her away from creepy Mr Preston 46m

My Buddy read stack is a bit bonkers right now with #europacollective #camplitsy #sundaybuddyread #littensloveromance #littensloveacotar which should maybe morph into #littenslovesjm and #hashtagbrigade I also have an audio book on the go just for fun. They all have different due dates so it‘s manageable and most are light and easy

Karisa If anyone can tackle that stack, it‘s you! Just finished Wild Dark Shore. It‘s beautiful😍 4h
mcctrish @Karisa I can‘t wait to start it today 4h
AmyG @mcctrish Enjoy! There goes your weekend…it‘s THAT good. 🤣 4h
mcctrish @AmyG 😆 I do have a few things I have to do 3h

AllDebooks I got distracted, Iain Glenn is a very handsome man. 1d
BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks 🤣 I feel that! I think he‘s going to disappoint us 1d

peanutnine Wait, I feel like I missed something. How do we know this Preston guy? 1d
BarkingMadRead @peanutnine we don‘t 🤷🏻‍♀️ we just met him today. I‘m just getting bad vibes 1d
peanutnine @BarkingMadRead okay cool, just making sure. There are so many characters to keep track of I thought I missed one 😅 1d
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.😬 1d
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 1d
AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead possibly so 😔 24h
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?
23h
Bookwormjillk We certainly shouldn‘t trust Preston 20h
Clare-Dragonfly Yes, he‘s a land agent—I had to CTRL+F his name but I did find that 😂 20h
ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly gotta love technology - I had gottrm confused too! 14h

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!

Bookwormjillk I feel like shaking the doctor and telling him it's not too late. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful My thoughts exactly! 2d
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... 2d
Ruthiella @willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I thought of Emma too! 😂 And yes to @mcctrish @ElizaMarie SO MANY RED FLAGS 🚩‼️ ⛔️⚠️🚨 2d

Lcsmcat Any Keeping Up Appearances fans here? Because Hyacinth! 😂🤣😂 3d
Cuilin I‘m not sure I would want to get between Mr. Gibson and his cheese. Also, I‘m trying to be understanding of Hyacinth, as women in the 19th century if they were not ever so slightly manipulative, they could be coerced into anything. I‘m not sure cheese is the hill I‘d want to die on though. 3d

mcctrish Good lord help us all from Hyacinth! Is it too late to call the whole thing off? Let‘s just find Molly a husband instead of 3d
Cuilin @Lcsmcat bouquet (Bucket) residence Lady of the house speaking”. I keep thinking of her too. (edited) 3d
BarkingMadRead @cuilin I would definitely choose a better hill 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d
willaful Cheese is the hill I would die on, as in I will die for cheese!
3d
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin you are so right about the cheese. 3d
peanutnine Uh oh Roger is paying attention to Molly....the squire would not approve 3d
ElizaMarie @willaful I‘ll die right next to you —- #ForCheese #CheeseIsLife 3d
ElizaMarie Does Molly even need a mother? Isn‘t Mr Gibson too late in thinking this would be “good” for her? Excuses? 3d
BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie yeah I think he waited a smidge too long 🤣 3d
willaful @ElizaMarie I once told someone that I don't trust people who don't like cheese and I'd say I was justified! 3d
Clare-Dragonfly Some women are dripping with diamonds / Some women are dripping with pearls / Lucky me, lucky me, look at what I‘m dripping with / Little girls! (edited) 3d
eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree that Mr G is rather late. It's weird that he tends to (both him and Mrs K actually) treat Molly like a little child but expect her to behave in a mature way. Also, Lydia Bennet had been married for over a year when she was Molly's age. Not that she'd be a good role model, I'm just comparing life stages. 3d
eeclayton @Cuilin manipulation is one thing, but what really bugs me is that she doesn't want to invite her own daughter to the wedding so that she can't outshine her. Just awful. And then there's the matter of the cheese!
Come to think of it, I wonder what kind of person Cynthia will turn out to be.
3d
Lcsmcat @Clare-Dragonfly 😂🤣 3d
Cuilin @eeclayton yeah not wanting your daughter around because she might outshine you, is problematic. 3d
Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly 🧡😂🧡😂 3d
rubyslippersreads @Lcsmcat That‘s exactly who I thought of. 2d

AllDebooks It was such a quick proposal. Talk about a 'you'll do' attitude. 😅 4d
Cuilin Marry in haste, repent at leisure. I‘m not sure this is all going work out. 4d

mcctrish @Cuilin you said it!!!! Roger is a star ⭐️ #gettingcinderellavibes 4d
willaful Ugh, he doesn't know DIDDLY about her actual character! At least we don't have to call her Clare anymore. #UghHyacinth

Roger is a sweetheart. I'm kind of irritated by Molly, but I tend to hate gooey father-daughter relationships. It's not really her fault she's been spoiled.
(edited) 4d
Bklover @willaful I‘m with you on the gooey relationship with Dad. And Dad appears to be an idiot! It‘s not like he‘s poor and marrying for money! 4d
willaful @Bklover It's hypocritical of me because I have a gooey mother-daughter relationship, lol. 4d
Bklover @willaful Me too!!! 4d
willaful @Bklover 😂 😂 😂 💝 4d
LiteraryChanteuse Great book, great mini series. 😊 4d
Ruthiella This is not a good match! 😱 4d
Lcsmcat @Cuilin 😂🤣😂 So true! 4d
ElizaMarie That proposal sucked! 4d
Bookwormjillk I feel like Hyacinth is such a passive aggressive thing to name a character you don‘t like. No offense to any Hyacinths out there. 3d
julieclair Oh Gibson, Gibson…. SUCH a bad idea. Why didn‘t you ask us first? We‘d have told you not to do it. 😵‍💫 3d
rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk The only Hyacinth I can think of is Hyacinth Bucket. 😆 2d

mcctrish “Here comes the bride “ 5d
Clare-Dragonfly Lady Cumnor reminded me of Aunt Glegg with her “I‘ll TELL you when I‘m tired, husband.” 5d
julieclair So weird to think about marriage this way. “He‘d be okay.” “She‘d be okay.” So romantic, 😂😂😂. 5d
Lcsmcat With her “I can just sit around while he works” attitude, I don‘t hold out much hope for this marriage. 5d
ElizaMarie @Lcsmcat ha! Yeah! 5d

Ruthiella Osborne sounds like someone who‘s always been given what he wants whether he has earned it or not so when he fails, he doesn‘t know how to handle it. ☹️ 6d
Cuilin @Ruthiella It‘s almost like he thinks he doesn‘t have to make any sort of effort. 6d

Bookwormjillk Clare sigh. Osborne sigh. 6d
willaful Everyone worships Osborne so much it seems inevitable he'll be terrible.

And yup, here comes NotARealClare again, making mischief. How surprising to learn she was a terrible governess! 🙄
6d
ElizaMarie Ha! Osborne sounds like he would be a spoiled brat (maybe not his fault) 6d
Clare-Dragonfly We‘re all surprised #notarealclare can‘t keep a job, she‘s so pretty 😂 Here‘s hoping she‘s a better wife and stepmother than governess! 6d
mcctrish Osborne sounds like he spends too much time with his friends and not enough time with his studies #notarealclare is just what Gibson needs #notatall @Bookwormjillk #lesigh 6d

mcctrish I just want to acknowledge Jenny, standing up for Bethia who was wrongfully sent to new employment because of Coxe‘s nonsense. And Mr Gibson wishing he could live a life without women. He couldn‘t/wouldnt last a DAY!!!! 7d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yessss I forgot poor Bertha and Jenny #boysaredumb 7d
Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Yes!!! Poor Bethia didn‘t deserve any consequences other than having the letter taken from her. 7d
julieclair The stage is set for Roger to fall in love with Molly…. 7d
ElizaMarie I loved this sentence- But fate is a cunning hussy, and builds up her plans as imperceptibly as a bird builds her nest; 7d
BarkingMadRead @elizamarie I almost used #fateisacunninghussy as a hashtag… and then I forgot 🙈 7d
