Clare-Dragonfly I think Jan should have gone ahead and stayed in her room. Let Maxim deal with the consequences! He deserves to squirm a little! (edited) 1d

Clare-Dragonfly I mean, she ALSO should have told Beatrice about Danny setting her up. But let‘s be real, that was never going to happen. 1d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly and she had the perfect opportunity! Whyyyyyy did she not?!? 1d

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly YES! She should have told Max and Bea about Mrs Danvers. 1d

peanutnine She definitely should have told them about Danvers but like @Clare-Dragonfly I'm not surprised she didn't. She doesn't seem to realize that she has power over her as an employer. But she probably thought they wouldn't believe her 1d

daena Maxim is the worst! As the chapters move forward my disgust of him grows. 1d

willaful @daena I'm really feeling why the author was pissed at this being called a romance. 1d

daena @willaful totally! 💯 1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @daena same! 1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @peanutnine @Clare-Dragonfly I never under when characters don't tell what happened. I would be yelling it out. And #DreadfulDanny would be packing her bags. Honestly if she just told Bea she would have told Maxim and he would have fired Mrs D immediately. 1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig ^understand. Litsy needs edit option on comments! 1d

dabbe I, too, want the narrator to snap back and have a backbone, but she just doesn't. She's terrified of Danvers (and even Maxim at times) and is so UNSURE of herself that she can't fight back. Max wanted her as Alice in Wonderland--fiitting since Alice is a complete innocent, not worldly like Rebecca or Caroline de Winter. The irony is, though, that Max is primarily responsible for Jan's loss of innocence. #sosad 😞 1d

Ruthiella @dabbe Perfect analysis! 👌 1d

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine @Crinoline_Laphroaig @dabbe @Ruthiella - I'm interested to see if Jan even REALIZES that Danny set her up. I think she is going to excuse Mrs. D with a kind of “oh she didn't know people would be upset/it was an accident“ thing. 1d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks that‘s a good point, although that creepy smile on Mrs D should hopefully clue her in! 1d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks If she does that, it will totally be a throw-the-book moment for me! 1d

peanutnine @julieclair @TheAromaofBooks omg same! Hopefully she isn't THAT naive by now 1d

dabbe @Ruthiella 😘 1d

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Agree! Jan wanted so much to believe that Danny was finally being nice to her that she had the rose-colored glasses look in her eyes. And, too true, @BarkingMadRead. That smirk and the closing of the door in the west wing should have been HUGE clues for Jan. What a scene! 1d

TheBookHippie #cannotfindmybook #tothelibraryigo 2w

Ruthiella Very short but not too bad for a dream sequence. I‘m a little nervous about Jasper the dog. I don‘t remember him. 😬 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a great opening line. 2w

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I don‘t remember! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I love it! @TheBookHippie oh nooooo 2w

willaful @Ruthiella I don't remember either but according to this spoiler website. it's okay. (Click at your own risk!) https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/20561?index1=-1&index2=-1 2w

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead library has it just need to get it to my branch so I should be able to catch up. Supposed to be in by Friday 😅 2w

IndoorDame Apparently Manderley is based on a house she saw and fell in love with called Menabilly (you can find stunning photos online) and according to what I‘ve read the dream in this chapter could just as easily foreshadow her actual journey with the house, all of which happened after she wrote and published the book. 2w

Clare-Dragonfly This is gorgeously written! I haven‘t read this before so it‘s all new to me, and I‘m glad to be finally reading it. 2w

Graciouswarriorprincess Thanks @BarkingMadRead 😀 2w

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly Awesome you are reading it for the first time! It‘s a great plot. 2w

Ruthiella @willaful Thank you! 😊 2w

Bookwormjillk Woohoo new book! I only have the audio version in my library so I‘m reading it that way. 2w

dabbe @IndoorDame I read too that she was given a lease by the owner at the time, spent money renovating it, and lived there for 20 years before giving it back to the family. I never knew this, and the last time I read it was in the early 1990s before the Internet. Thank goodness for instant knowledge! 🤩 2w

dabbe The passage where the narrator talks about the wind coming from the western sea reminded me of Cornwall and the island off of it that is prevalent in AND THEN THERE WERE NONE ... and also P.B. Shelley's “Ode to the West Wind.“ Oh, what a tremendous novel embracing Gothic and Romantic literature from the early 1800s. I'm in heaven! #byebyebadbros 🤩 2w

5feet.of.fury Add me please 😊 2w

TheAromaofBooks LOVE how atmospheric this chapter is!! 2w

IndoorDame @dabbe couldn‘t agree more on both counts! #hailtheinternet #byebyebadbros 2w

KAO I am excited to start something new! Optimistic here! 2w

dabbe @IndoorDame 💚🩷💚 2w

peanutnine This is my first time reading and I'm loving the descriptions so far! 2w

Roary47 @Clare-Dragonfly I completely agree it is so beautiful already! I‘m also a first time reader with you and @peanutnine it will be fun reading with all of you. 🥰💛 2w

julieclair Please add me! I was too intimidated to attempt the bros, but now I'm back in the brigade! 2w

julieclair @IndoorDame Thanks for this great info about Menabilly! My husband and I will be touring Cornwall next month. I wonder if it's visible from the road? 2w

IndoorDame @julieclair oooh, definitely let us know if it is!!! 2w

BarkingMadRead @julieclair added you! 2w

julieclair @IndoorDame Will do! 2w

The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and Times of James A. Baker III | Peter Baker, Susan Glasser

I love foreshadowing in history. What did Iraq become? Well, it became another Vietnam with Afghanistan that destroyed a Bush presidency. If you would like to read about the Iraq war that I consider another Vietnam that destroyed a Bush presidency, feel free to look back on what we posted and reread Days of Fire also by Peter Baker. #themanwhoranwashington #peterbaker #susanglasser #daysoffire #iraq #conflict #history #foreshadowing #bush

Chapter 48: y‘all. I‘m going straight to hell, every time there is a chapter with this guy in, my first thought is “isn‘t he dead yet?” #foreshadowing #whoasksforanopenendedpromise #karma #RIP #poordodo #pemberlittens

TheBookHippie Like when is he gonna DIE ALREADY?!?!? 1y

peanutnine Right?! I was so happy at the end of this chapter, like FINALLY 1y

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine I‘m glad I‘m not alone 🤣🤣 1y

peanutnine Also the whole time he was pressuring Dodo I was screaming at the book DON'T DO IT!!! 1y

kspenmoll 😂😂😂 1y

Bookwormjillk Ding dong Casaubaum is dead, wicked Casaubaum is dead. Finally. That manipulative old fart. 1y

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine me too! Who asks for a promise without saying what the promise is? It couldn‘t have been good! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️🪦🪦🪦 1y

ravenlee Yes! Exactly! What a wretched excuse for a person and good riddance. Also - I FINALLY CAUGHT UP! It took me three. Weeks. Y‘all. And I got caught up just in time for Casaubon to go away! 1y

dabbe Casaubon ranks up there as one of the WORST villains in all of literature. Or at least worst JERKS. 🤣 1y

Bookwormjillk @ravenlee perfect timing! 1y

BarkingMadRead @ravenlee welcome to the funeral 🤣🪦☠️ 1y

TheAromaofBooks It's never a good sign when I am SO RELIEVED a character has died! I'm glad he kipped over before he wrangled the promise out of Dodo, but I know she's just going to spend the rest of her life feeling guilty about it 😑 1y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks this poor girl is going to spend her life trying to finish his projects, never knowing he was going to ask her to stay away from Ladislaw 🤣 1y

mcctrish 🤣🤣 1y

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead - Feeling guilty about all the wrong things 😂 (Although for real, ALL the things are wrong things for her to feel guilty about!!!) 1y

Bklover Oh I had a tiny celebration - also don‘t feel bad @BarkingMadRead - at the beginning of each chapter I wonder if THIS is the chapter it‘ll happen! 1y

CoffeeNBooks What a jerk trying to get Dodo to promise to something, and he won't even tell her what it is. What a manipulate ass! I kept wanting to yell "No Dodo! You don't have to do this!" I don't know that I've ever despised a villain this much. ? 1y

CoffeeNBooks Mr. Hill doesn't need all that money, he just wants some wine and parmesan for himself and Mrs. Hill. 😁 Poor Sarah, everyone will soon forget James was ever there. 😢 2y

julieclair @CoffeeNBooks Isn‘t it amazing how little Mr. Hill would need to feel “rich”? He‘s a good example of the concept of “having enough”. 2y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair @CoffeeNBooks I know! Sweet Mr Hill! 2y

Amiable

Will | Will Smith

pick

Not sure how I feel about WHAT I read or how to fit any of it into the context of the now-infamous Oscar slap. And I‘m skeptical of Will Smith‘s take on some events because it differs from the public record. I feel sorry for Jada—it can‘t be easy navigating his giant ego. I don‘t like Will Smith any better for getting through this. But I have to say it was a helluva read. I couldn‘t put it down.

Cinfhen Great review!!! #ScorchedEarth 😉I really loved the audio but after the slap incident I wonder how I‘d feel now about the book 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2y

Amiable @Cinfhen Early in the book he talks about the time he discovered his high school girlfriend had cheated on him, and he trashes her mom‘s house on his way out. His quote: “I knew I had to do something violent to punctuate my departure.” That made me cringe. 2y

HOTPock3tt I enjoyed this book too. I read it before the slap… I wonder how I would feel too afterwards 2y

Cinfhen Ohhhhh, #foreshadowing 2y

squirrelbrain Great review! I was more than halfway through this at the time of ‘the slap‘ and I nearly bailed. It was really interesting to put it into a different context. 2y

Amiable @squirrelbrain @HOTPock3tt I almost canceled my library hold on it after the Oscars, but decided to give it a go anyway. (edited) 2y

CoverToCoverGirl Great review! Was never a fan of him or his movies. He actions clearly speak volumes and volumes to his character. 2y

Amiable @CoverToCoverGirl I do love the first “Men in Black” movie, although that has nothing to do with Will Smith and everything to do with Tommy Lee Jones! 😀 2y

S3V3N I loved this one. The audiobook was excellent. 2y
