Cuilin I used to think that the hashtags were just fun and quirky and now I‘m so glad for the recapping because I forget what I read two hours ago. I could blame a book without a plot but I actually think it‘s me. lol 3mo

BarkingMadRead @cuilin #ifeelthisinmysoul I had to go back and confirm patty‘s name, I thought it was Peg 🤣🙈 3mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin no, it's me too. Lol 😅 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin Nope, it's the lack of plot. I do the exact same thing. I've been skimming a lot, too. A while back one of the chapters was called “Farming“, and I just skimmed and thought “Oh, with a moo moo there, and an oink oink there ... Old McDonald had a farm ... chapter over. 🙄 3mo

Bookwormjillk It‘s me too! I know I read this but all I remember is the pig 😂 3mo

willaful The book did it just to prove me wrong! 😂 3mo

mcctrish @dabbe I‘m laughing at that Old MacDonald reference out loud 3mo

mcctrish With no intent to sound sacrilegious, this book reminds me of the Bible 🤣🤣 this second book is just a different apostle‘s take on the Lark Rise to Boredom 3mo

eeclayton I really admire your patience, I haven't been able to pick up the book since I finished chapter 7. I guess it's officially a DNF now. 3mo

CatLass007 I must confess that I bailed a while ago but I‘m still enjoying your daily posts. 1y

mcctrish According to my tracking on Goodreads we are 54% of the way into this monster and the elder has died, kitkat is still hysterical?, Mrs Coca Cola has sent Ratman as a spy and Aloysha just bailed on the hermitage so next up a marriage and a murder? 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and some air freshener hopefully 1y

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 🤣🤣 #imheretohelp @mcctrish so much as happened and yet so much still has to happen 🙄 1y

CatLass007 📚💕 1y

TheAromaofBooks I was under the impression that this was about a murder/trial, yet here we are 400 pages in and no murder yet! 😂 1y

Ruthiella At least poor Aleksey gets to take a load off and have some fish soup 🥣 and cherry preserves 🍒 . 1y

currentlyreadinginCO I liked this one, too! Ivan and Alyosha are an interesting pairing 1y

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella such an odd combo 1y

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk he says “bork, bork, bork” Swedish for blah, blah, blah ( probably) and @Ruthiella thank goodness Aloysha gets to eat after all the running around 1y

Graciouswarriorprincess @Ruthiella I thought the same thing! But what a combination! 😊 1y

Bklover I‘m really sorry, but I‘m going to have to drop out. I‘m very disappointed- I tried to catch up, but this month I just don‘t have it in me. It‘s been a difficult month, and of the books I intended to read this month I‘m only keeping up with one. I seem to have lost my focus. Love you all, and I‘ll be back for the next one. (Can‘t remember what‘s next). ❤️❤️❤️ 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover we will see you in March! (It‘s

Rebeca / Rebecca

Bklover Oh good! I love Rebecca! That will be a fun reread. 1y

rubyslippersreads Even though I bailed, I‘m glad to finally know what a hurdy-gurdy looks like. 😂 1y

willaful @Bklover I dropped out ages ago, I'm just really enjoying the posts. 😳

I don't think I've ever seen a hurdy gurdy, which is odd, because it's heavily featured in one of my all time fav books.

Cuilin I hope Alyosha got to eat the soup and preserves. That was some serious conversation. Not sure I could eat while some was talking about the torture/suffering of children. 1y

Ruthiella That image makes as much sense as anything else? 🤪 Probably honor or patriarchy prevents it, but Aleksey should have given the cash to Varvara Nikolayevna. She seems like a practical person and would have accepted it. 1y

SamAnne The Flying Karamazov Brothers!!!! I‘ve seen them perform many times. They were hilarious. (edited) 1y

Aimeesue So, totally cool to take money to ruin Dmitry, but not cool to take money because he got beat up? Odd. That‘s one weird code of ethics. (edited) 1y

dabbe I have bad feelings about this. He confesses to his debauchery with a woman, but I don't think he'll be able to forgive her. And his was consensual! There are too many bad omens here: the rain, the rooster (who is white [pure] and red [stained], the guy who knows her that Angel punched, his family not showing up, all the d'Urberville places (isn't there ANYWHERE where their name is not involved?). Tess believes they're on equal footing, but ... 2y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I know! I feel like it‘s totally snowballing out of control! 2y

Bookwormjillk Another day where it was hard not to read ahead! 2y

Daisey @dabbe So true! The feelings of foreboding just keep piling up. I was surprised by his confession, but it didn‘t at all make me any more hopeful. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I hate the other dairymaids being so despondent over Angel, especially since earlier it felt like Hardy was encouraging the reader to laugh at their love for him. Now that just feels cruel ☹️ Also, I really wish I knew exactly what Tess said to Angel. She thinks of herself as culpable, so did she spin it to him that way, or did she explain it in a way that makes it obvious to Angel she was raped? 2y

Cuilin @dabbe I think we‘re going to see some double standards here much like the body count discussion today. What makes it worse is that Tess didn‘t consent. 2y

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder too if we'll ever know or if it'll be like a Shakespearean scene done offstage. 2y

dabbe @Cuilin Whereas Angel totally did! If he doesn't forgive her ... 2y

currentlyreadinginCO Resisting the urge to keep reading!! What a cliffhanger chapter 2y

KAO After Angel‘s delayed confession (which took me by surprise!), I had hopes that he would be able to better understand what Tess had not been able to talk about (even though she tried to tell him earlier). I fear the worst, however. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m guessing it‘s a question mark! These people are so strange 😂 I like the men so far… (edited) 2y

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly It is a question mark. I think I remember that from either the movie or when I read it previously. 2y

eeclayton I'm reading this one in translation, and my text had a question mark. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella @eeclayton #wellnowifeelsilly 2y

dabbe I'm thinking huge class discrepancies (Mr. Emerson and his son George seem to be beneath Lucy and her cousin Charlotte), and could the fact that Lucy wants a view mean that she's looking for bigger horizons? 🤔 Charlotte seems like an old fuddy-duddy, too. 2y

Morr_Books @dabbe Love your thoughts so far! I had a hard time getting passed the fact that everyone was saying to go to Prato. Prato was one of my least favorite places in the region, so maybe it was very different back then. Also, I kinda feel bad for George right now. He intrigues me more than other characters. 2y

Morr_Books @BarkingMadRead I also love love love your book cover! 2y

Bookwormjillk This is going to be a trip. Can‘t wait. 2y

DebinHawaii Great cover! My copy is a Kindle & not pretty but it was .99–although I am regretting it slightly as there is a summary after each chapter & I‘m not sure it‘s necessary! 🤣 (edited) 2y
