willaful Soooooo depressing! Damn Victorians! 7d

rubyslippersreads I knew it was coming. There was no other way Ruth could atone for her “sins” in a book written during this era. 😠 7d

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads yep!! 6d

Bookwormjillk So the man recovers and the woman dies after committing the same sin. Got it. (edited) 6d

mcctrish But #bellingshit gets to live #motherfucker Victorian morals are ridiculous #ffs 6d

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish Boys will be boys. 🤬 6d

mcctrish @rubyslippersreads argh that saying infuriates me 6d

AllDebooks Not the ending we hoped for, but all saw coming. 🙄 6d

Clare-Dragonfly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 6d

rubyslippersreads Someone needs to write fan fiction where Donne dies a horrible death, but not before being publicly shamed. 😏 6d

dabbe See? Just like Puritan philosophy. You died, so you must not be a witch. I mean whore. Whatever. I wish she had done to Donne what Tess did to the D'urberville dude. 😭 6d

BarkingMadRead @dabbe @rubyslippersreads 💯 6d

Aimeesue @rubyslippersreads Yep. Still made me very sad though. 6d

julieclair Yup. Gaskell went there. As we all suspected she would but hoped she wouldn‘t. 😭 6d

IndoorDame I was so mad about the sermon at her funeral! She can be absolved and go to heaven, but only after she‘s died to pay for her crimes!? (and spent a dozen years living a ridiculously saint like life). WTF is that!? 6d

Bookwormjillk Is this what they meant when they said Rosie was disappointed with her baby? 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I think so, total surprise! I think it was underplayed just a little 2y

TheBookHippie I think I‘ve said FFS more in this book than any other I‘ve ever read… #whatintheworld 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣 2y

CoffeeNBooks Drama, drama, and more drama surrounding Captain Lydgate... And I kept thinking I was missing something while reading because there didn't seem to be much said about Rosamond's baby other than just the facts of the situation. Did I miss something? 2y

BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks just that bit in the beginning that she lost it because she fell off the horse 2y

CoffeeNBooks @BarkingMadRead OK, that's what I thought. 2y

ravenlee @CoffeeNBooks and that she‘s much more interested in being right and having her own way than in being concerned about miscarrying. She‘s a real piece of…work. 2y

Bklover @TheBookHippie Me too #ffs 😂 2y

TheBookHippie @ravenlee Right?! Seriously !! 2y

Killers of the Flower Moon: An American Crime and the Birth of the FBI | David Grann

Because it‘s not bigotry if it‘s for Jesus. 🙄
#davidgrann #killersoftheflowermoon #osagemurders #sabc #ffs

Weaponxgirl I noticed this exact passage. It made me so damn angry 5y

GingerAntics @Weaponxgirl I know. I‘m just shaking my head at the ridiculousness. It‘s all the Eurocentrism/White Supremacy BS we were talking about before. It‘s disgusting and I don‘t know why people feel like they just can‘t coexist. They have to be better than everyone else. 🙄 5y

Cinfhen That's actually brilliant @LauraBeth ❤️ 7y

RebelReader @LauraBeth @Cinfhen I‘d sign up for that swap! 🏖📚 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage OMG a book and shoe swap!! What are we waiting for!! 😜😜📚📚👣👣 7y

Cinfhen Right @RebelReader @BarbaraTheBibliophage it's fantastic❣️❣️❣️ @LauraBeth is a marketing genius 🤓 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LauraBeth @RebelReader @Cinfhen It‘s a #FlipFlopSwap! #FFS Except that we have so many Southern Hemisphere folks who do summer in December. (edited) 7y

Cinfhen True @BarbaraTheBibliophage they get Uggs! 7y

LauraBeth @BarbaraTheBibliophage maybe there‘s something about flip flops that could be paired with the actual flip flop of summer and winter around the world 🤔 And this was ALL @Cinfhen‘s idea! @RebelReader 7y

JennAndrew Thank you for the tag @Cinfhen - very kind! 😊😊 7y

alisiakae #flipflopswap 😍 😍😍 @BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘ll just wait over here for the Google sign-up form to go out. 😂 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LauraBeth Okay, that works! We can figure that one out. Hey, there are a few months until summer ... 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Haha. I can‘t afford that! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Okey doke. 😎👣🌞How about it @LauraBeth ? Are we going to do this? @Cinfhen ?? 7y

Cinfhen I‘m not ready to organize a swap @BarbaraTheBibliophage but I‘ll support you if you choose to move forward with it...there is something very clever about the concept @LauraBeth you two should #GoForIt 📚☀️📚❄️ 7y

LauraBeth @Cinfhen and @BarbaraTheBibliophage after all of that swap drama last night? Heck no! I‘ve seen the wrath of Litsy and I‘m terrified to even do a swap let alone organize one 😬 7y

Cinfhen OMG, @LauraBeth I just saw some of that...yikes! I've sat out the last few swaps, and I haven't signed up for any of the new ones. I agree...it's not worth the drama😞 7y

LauraBeth @Cinfhen Nah - I didn‘t think it was either 7y

LauraBeth But I should add, if I was ever going to do anything like that in the future, there aren‘t two finer littens than yourselves @BarbaraTheBibliophage and @Cinfhen 😘 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LauraBeth @Cinfhen I think we all concur. I‘m honestly not prepared for the intensive involvement hosting a swap involves. But it was fun to be creative and funny! 😘 7y

Foragingfantasy I'm a sucker for anything that mentions Night Circus in the reviews... I may have to read this one. 7y

heikemarie @Foragingfantasy I've had it for a few months but haven't picked it up yet! The blurb looks fun. 7y
