peanutnine Wait, I feel like I missed something. How do we know this Preston guy? 1d
BarkingMadRead @peanutnine we don‘t 🤷🏻‍♀️ we just met him today. I‘m just getting bad vibes 1d
peanutnine @BarkingMadRead okay cool, just making sure. There are so many characters to keep track of I thought I missed one 😅 1d
Ruthiella @peanutnine I think he was mentioned briefly earlier as the land manager for this estate who had done Mrs. Kirkpatrick favors like providing her with game or produce from the estate. @BarkingMadRead I agree, this guy feels skeevy.😬 1d
mcctrish Mr Preston is in love with Miss Kirkpatrick? I‘m not sure #mommydearest #notarealclare is going to approve and is Mr Gibson getting cold feet ? I hope so, this marriage is giving #titanicvibes 1d
AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead possibly so 😔 1d
willaful Mr. Gibson certainly has plenty of reason for cold feet! But is there anything he can do about it now?

I kept being so uncomfortable every time Molly was allowed to be alone with this guy... what happened to being so careful of her, hmmm?
1d
Bookwormjillk We certainly shouldn‘t trust Preston 1d
Clare-Dragonfly Yes, he‘s a land agent—I had to CTRL+F his name but I did find that 😂 1d
ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly gotta love technology - I had gottrm confused too! 20h

Pickpick

At first I didn't care for writing style, but I came to care for the story. The ancient Greeks were ruthless!!! This book made you really think what war means, what it's really about. Most prized in here is the tale of love. And I feel like that word is too cheap to describe what went on in here. Thanks to @sprainedbrain for putting this on my map. And doing it justice. Total pick!!!! Patroclus!!!!(sobs)

TrishB Been on the tbr for a while! 8y
Reggie It was pretty good. This was not your Edith Hamilton's Mythology. Lol. There are some truly horrific moments of violence you don't see coming. Those are balanced out by the humanity that comes through in some characters you expect it from and some you don't. Give it a try. And Thetis, Achilles's mother, total #MommyDearest (edited) 8y
sprainedbrain I'm glad you liked it! Patroclus, indeed. ❤️ 8y
