eeclayton Molly picking up on the tension and trying to save Cynthia was so sweet. She's definitely too good for these folks. 8h

Freezer Burn: A Peri Minneopa Mystery | Gayle Carline

Way behind on my reading, especially for #hashtagbrigade. I thought I‘d get caught up tonight, but my refrigerator had other ideas. The freezer failed so I‘m making soup to use things that were too thawed (and borrowing space in a friend‘s freezer until mine is fixed.) And baking pumpkin bread with the last of the pumpkin purée from last fall. It‘s 92 degrees outside and my house smells like November. ?

Bookwormjillk Ugh it‘s always something 1d

TheBookHippie Oh man….. looks pretty though… 😵‍💫 1d

Ruthiella Making lemonade (or soup) out of lemons! 👍 (edited) 1d

kspenmoll So sorry! Looks like you have made the best of a bad situation! 1d

AmyG On the upside your soup looks great! 1d

mcctrish Future you will be so happy with end of June you 1d

Lcsmcat @Bookwormjillk Right? At least appliances are on sale right now. 13h

Lcsmcat @TheBookHippie @Ruthiella @kspenmoll @AmyG Thanks! If only it weren‘t so hot we‘d have food for the next week! 😂 13h

Lcsmcat @mcctrish That‘s the plan! 13h

Dilara Oh dear! That's a lot of soup... 13h

TheAromaofBooks My inclination is to like Cynthia, but we'll have to see if she ends up taking advantage of Molly's good nature. 1d

Ruthiella Mrs. Gibson‘s indifference anyone being there to greet Cynthia at the train is sad. She hasn‘t seen her daughter in TWO YEARS? (edited) 1d

Bookwormjillk I surprised myself by liking Cynthia today. This is a long book huh? 1d

mcctrish I don‘t not like Cynthia but anyone who says they don‘t love anyone but will choose to love Molly seems a bit sketch 1d

ElizaMarie @Ruthiella and the whole sending her away immediately after her daddy died - that Mrs G is not maternal at all!!!! 1d

Bklover I‘m with all of you! Cynthia seems wonderful in spite of the neglect of her mother. Hope it holds up! A teeny bit concerned that they might end up wanting the same guy. @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks 1d

Clare-Dragonfly Hmm, I‘m reserving judgment on Cynthia. I like her forthrightness, but I‘m nervous about her saying she doesn‘t love anyone! 1d

dabbe I have finally caught up! 🤣🤣🤣 Whew! 😅 Cynthia reminds me of Estella in GREAT EXPECTATIONS: icily cold and knows it. I'm reserving judgment on her as well, though I do like her WAY more than her mother. Holy guacamole on her! 23h

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I‘m trying to figure out if Mrs. Gibson would be upset or pleased??? 🤔 2d

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Oh! I didn't even think of that! 2d

mcctrish @Cuilin this was my first thought too!!!!cuz if daughter is anything like her mother she‘d be bleeding the boy dry 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Ooh, that makes sense! She‘s definitely too low-born for his dad so that would be why he has to keep her secret. 2d

Cuilin @mcctrish exactly!!! 2d

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I think she might have been pleased before Osborne destroyed the family fortune. 😏 2d

rubyslippersreads I was worried that Molly would go home without any books. (The worst fate a Litten could imagine!) I‘m glad Roger chose some for her. 2d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin ooooooo I hope it is her! That would be a perfect twist and explain the $$$$ 2d

Bklover @rubyslippersreads Me too! I wondered why she set them down. I‘d take as many as I could carry!😉😂 2d

See All 12 Comments

mcctrish @Bklover same! poor Mrs Hamley thinking she‘d be a better mom to a girl and that‘s why Osbourne turned out bad ☹️ Doc Gibson better smarten up and put his wife in her place or he‘s going to be broke and his daughter will take the first offer out of there 3d

Cuilin @mcctrish yes. Dr Gibson needs to stand up for Molly!! 3d

Bookwormjillk Mr Gibson roaring for lunch instead of standing up to his wife grrrr. 3d

TheAromaofBooks Before I opened this post, I was thinking about this chapter and the word that came to mind was “yikes“ so I thought it was hilarious that that was your first hashtag 😂 But seriously, apparently Mr G just never wants to have to make any decisions about Molly ever again 😑 And the way he makes her call Mrs. G “mamma“ just... ugh 3d

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks he just wants to come home FOR ONCE and have a meal waiting for him #isottoomuchtoask 3d

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - In fairness, it literally is Mrs. G's job and the main reason he got married😂 3d

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks she‘s banned cheese from the house #thatwasthefirstclue 3d

ElizaMarie @mcctrish ha yes!!! I can‘t think of a good lunch without some cheese so —- why bother!? Mrs G doesn‘t seem to like to hang out with her husband either - just complain when he is out 3d

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - Never trust a woman who won't have cheese in the house 😆 @ElizaMarie - She's the same way with Molly. She only wants her because Molly is wanted somewhere else 🙄 3d

Bklover That woman is HORRIBLE. I wanted Mr Gibson to walk in and tell her to shut her narcissistic mouth! @mcctrish Exactly! By the way we all know MrG would do no such thing. #FreeMolly (edited) 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Awful woman! 4d

mcctrish @Bklover Mr Gibson wants no trouble = everyone else has the trouble aka Molly is going to crack 4d

ElizaMarie I wonder if Molly will complain to her daddy about this? ugh! I hate this new momma. Also curious to see her interactions with her own daughter. 4d

Lcsmcat @mcctrish Right? He got them into this mess with his I‘ll-advised marriage and now he just dumps the blame on Molly. 😡 4d

Doesn‘t seem like she‘s thought about what is affordable, just how much she needs to spend to get her away from her current employer. 5d

The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories | Sarah Orne Jewett

#weekendreads

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.

I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.

The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .

mcctrish It was a really long chapter that seemed to go off on tangents but, for me, Preston is bad and everyone is obsessed with Osborne for no reason 6d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 💯 6d

willaful Yes, Harriet can be trusted on this one, I think.

I wonder if Molly is going to talk herself into being in love with Osborne, even though he's not exactly what she imagined. 6d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish Harriet did her a solid keeping her away from creepy Mr Preston 6d

mcctrish @willaful Roger is standing right in front of her 👩‍❤️‍👨 6d

willaful @mcctrish I know! 6d

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m hoping that Molly/Roger will be endgame, and if it is, I just love how this romance is developing. I also love the way Mrs. Gaskell writes old maids! The Miss Brownings are delightful to read about! 6d

julieclair Preston‘s paying attention to Molly to mask his feelings for Miss Kirkpatrick, Molly‘s convincing herself that Osborne is swoon worthy, and meanwhile Roger just continues on being his kind, thoughtful, dependable self. Things are getting interesting! 5d

Hey, Buddy! | Mona Miller

My Buddy read stack is a bit bonkers right now with #europacollective #camplitsy #sundaybuddyread #littensloveromance #littensloveacotar which should maybe morph into #littenslovesjm and #hashtagbrigade I also have an audio book on the go just for fun. They all have different due dates so it‘s manageable and most are light and easy

Karisa If anyone can tackle that stack, it‘s you! Just finished Wild Dark Shore. It‘s beautiful😍 6d
