#SUNDSYBUDDYREAD

Mrs Bates
She‘s a bit much ..
What is her story I wonder???

Travelogue https://tracystravelsintime.com/2018/10/16/10-beautiful-places-to-visit-in-north...

AmyG Seems like she really cared for Annabel and was mad she left but-seems to be warming up to her. 7mo
Karisa She reminded me of the cook on Downton Abbey or the head nurse/matron in Silence for the Dead. Caring but also tough. I trust the Bates more than Lisa and Con. At least Lisa/Con have taken good care of Whitescar though. 7mo
Karisa (That photo is gorgeous! 😍) 7mo

TheBookHippie @Karisa That is a good comparison ! 7mo
Deblovestoread She seemed genuinely hurt that Annabel left the way she did. 7mo
vonnie862 @Karisa I was thinking of Downtown Abbey too! 7mo
vonnie862 Mrs. Bates was hurt and may have shield in front of her now that "Annabel" is back. 7mo
mollyrotondo I can‘t stand Mrs Bates. Just going on and on talking and making Julie uncomfortable in front of her new beau when that other guy called on the telephone. Yeah she‘s a bit much 🙄 7mo
TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo I do not like her! 7mo
vlwelser Do I have the wrong schedule? Julie didn't turn up yet for me. 7mo
mcctrish @vlwelser I am thinking the same thing. There was a part last week too that had me thinking I hadn‘t read far enough and I have checked and double checked #amilosingmymind? (edited) 7mo
vlwelser @mcctrish do you also have the giant one with Moonspinners in it? I think the editions might be different somehow. 7mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish @vlwelser I‘m thinking with all the editions and UK and US - we may be off 😵‍💫 4-7 this past week this coming week 8- 11 … I even have two versions here both the same 🤦🏻‍♀️ it‘ll be a wild ride 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 7mo
mcctrish @vlwelser I‘m reading on my kindle but how do they set the book differently? That‘s dumb but I‘ve got Julie arriving tomorrow so it‘s happening regardless 7mo
DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie @mcctrish @vlwelser My Kindle version is so off! My hold print did come in & I picked it up at the library but it‘s one of those really old oddly stained books that makes me a bit nervous to read. I‘m going to stop & catch up before I answer more questions. (According to it my Kindle is two chapters behind. )😬 But back to the subject, I am ok with Mrs. Bates—she seems caring. As @Karisa said I trust her more than Lisa & Con. 7mo
Karisa @DebinHawaii @mcctrish @vlwelser @TheBookHippie Oh! I thought it was just me with the haven‘t seen Julie yet. I‘m reading on a Kindle too and chapter 7 ends at just 36% of the way into the book. 😜 7mo
DebinHawaii @Karisa Yeah, if you read through Chapter 9 on Kindle, then that is the end of Chapter 7 in the book. Mine at least is 2 off. It‘s at 47% with the 2 additional chapters. 7mo
Karisa @DebinHawaii Wowza! That‘s a big difference. I‘ll go by the percentage next week. Thank you! 7mo
vlwelser Does this mean @TheBookHippie has an edited version? I can't even tell what we got that was extra. 7mo
TheBookHippie @vlwelser I have no clue. 😝 I have two US published books one from the library from 1962 and one from Chicago Press. What am I missing???? This is so ODD. I am tempted to order a UK copy but it'd get here too late!! LOLOLOLOL. 7mo
mcctrish @karisa we are reading the same version I think, I just got to chapter 9 last night and Julie has arrived 7mo
Karisa @mcctrish Yes! Me too. I‘m liking Julie and Donald too. They feel more normal than the others lol 7mo
