Vanity Fair | William Thackeray

Cuilin #baronetisthepitts interesting family indeed. Older sons beware??? Yet I hope she gets to marry well. Hmm 🤔 8mo
mcctrish I am LOVING this book! How I managed to not read it is beyond me?! I still love Becky, I admire her gumption and I still thinks she‘s well clear of Jos. #whyareallthemendismalinvanityfair #beatsagnesgraygovernesswise 8mo

dabbe And another one about a governess with a crappy family (so far). Good call on that, @mcctrish! I'm also not sure how I feel yet about Becky. #thejuryisstillout 8mo
SamAnne I loved the Mysteries of Adolpho reference. I‘m laughing out loud a lot. I don‘t think we are supposed to like any character in this novel! 8mo
willaful @SameAnne I think you're right on the money there! 8mo
AnnR I'm enjoying the writing and comedic narrator, however not sure if I'm #teamBecky or not. I know she is just looking out for her best interests, as nobody else is going to help her. Sometimes she seems excessively uncompassionate and disingenuous though. 8mo
BarkingMadRead @SamAnne #onthenose @Ann_Reads Becky is definitely not your typical “hero” I‘m conflicted but I love her spunk! 8mo
Bookwormjillk Count me as on the fence for #TeamBecky 8mo
Bklover @mcctrish I am completely entertained by this book! I still love Becky too. 8mo
Daisey I‘m much more amused so far than I expected to be. Like @SamAnne I appreciated the Mysteries of Udolpho reference! 8mo
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead did I read somewhere that Vanity Fair is hero-less fiction? Makes me think of Sally Rooney‘s books 8mo
mcctrish @Daisey @SamAnne I haven‘t read Mysteries of Udolpho maybe we can do that one here 8mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yes! My copy actually says it inside the cover! 8mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m #teambecky but maybe that‘s partly because I‘ve heard her compared to another heroine I “love to hate,” Scarlett O‘Hara. (edited) 8mo
rubyslippersreads @Ann_Reads I wouldn‘t like Becky in real life, but she‘s a realist and realizes there is no one to look out for Becky except Becky. 8mo
Bookwormjillk @rubyslippersreads good point. Definite Scarlet O‘Hara vibes. 8mo

“Because there is nothing I would rather do than rummage through bookshops... I have gone to them for years, always find the one book I wanted—and then three more I hadn‘t known I wanted.” #storyofmylife #relate #onthenose

RaimeyGallant Yes, story of my life, too. 6y
