Weekly check-in for #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - our first with the #LMMJournals!
I have to apologize for breaking up the reading so oddly—it wasn't until I finished up my own reading that I saw I'd completely missed a natural break at the end of 1890 and kept us going into 1891 for a grand total of 2 pages. 😂
How is your reading going?
What are your thoughts on this week's reading?
Any observations, favorite sections, or quotes?
Maybe we should add a Bulwer-Lytton book to our #LMMAdjacent list? 😂 3d
Overall, I'm finding this so readable and engaging. I'm very glad that we've already covered a couple of biographies to give me a background/overview of her life and some of the major characters, though. That framework is helping me just be able to read these as they come instead of being confused about the background. 2d
When I skimmed through the footnotes in Vol. 1, looking for what books and authors she referenced, I noticed that she mentioned Bulwer-Lytton several times! But yes, I do have a feeling her taste grew a bit as she got older… 2d
