IndoorDame The intro to my copy points out that she is only ever “the second Mrs de Winter” (and it has some very pointed things to say about that 😂) but that‘s quite a mouthful so I think she‘s gonna need a nickname 2w

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I totally agree. We have to call her something 🤷🏻‍♀️ poor thing never has a name, although we know it‘s a pretty one and also unique. Super helpful. 2w

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead I‘ve often wondered what constitutes a “unique” name for a white woman in England in the 30s 2w

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame probably something so chill now 2w

Ruthiella Her name is Jan Brady, forever doomed to be overshadowed by Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! I mean, Rebecca. 2w

IndoorDame @Ruthiella 👏👏👏 Sold! call her Jan 🤣 (edited) 2w

Ruthiella Also, it‘s so awkward when your first date is an attempted murder/suicide! 😱😆 2w

CatLass007 @Ruthiella You have a wicked sense of humor! I like that in a person. 2w

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella 🤣☠️🤣☠️ 2w

BarkingMadRead Omg @Ruthiella #janbrady FTW 2w

Bookwormjillk Jan 😂 🏈 2w

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella Jan is perfect! 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I need to find a book about gardens in DDuM books. "The daffodils were in bloom, stirring in the evening breeze, golden heads cupped upon lean stalks, and however many you might pick there would be no thinning of the ranks, they were massed like an army, shoulder to shoulder. On a bank below the lawns, crocuses were planted, golden, pink, and mauve, but by this time they would be past their best, dropping and fading, like pallid snowdrops.⬇️ 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig The primrose was more vulgar, a homely pleasant creature who appeared in every cranny like a weed. Too early yet for bluebells, their heads were still hidden beneath last year‘s leaves, but when they came, dwarfing the more humble violet, they choked the very bracken in the woods, and with their color made a challenge to the sky....People who plucked bluebells from the woods were vandals; he had forbidden it at Manderley." 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig So many flowers in this Chapter. I highlighted so many. 2w

Roary47 @Ruthiella I love it! Jan is who I will imagine her to be. Plus we don‘t know her actual age either. Are they on a date showing she‘s older than a child? 2w

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 I get the idea that she‘s an adult, but maybe a bit younger than Max 2w

Ruthiella @Roary47 I am reading a bit ahead. I think in chapter five it‘s confirmed she is 21. 👍 But Maxim is “old enough to be her father”, so 35 to 40 years old, I imagine. 🤔 2w

Clare-Dragonfly @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, the descriptions are so vivid and wonderful! I can see the flowers so clearly! 2w

Bookwormjillk These chapters are long but they don‘t feel like it. 2w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree! 2w

Graciouswarriorprincess @Crinoline_Laphroaig These descriptions are so vivid! 2w

julieclair I am really appreciating du Maurier‘s beautifully descriptive prose this time around. I don‘t remember noticing it as much the first time I read this. 2w

ElizaMarie I agree with “Jan“ as her name for now... But wouldn't it be wild if her name is Daphne? I mean, if I were an author, maybe I would name a character after myself and then say how beautiful the name is repeatedly. 2w

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s a brilliant point! 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Oh, my nose! Oh,my nose! 😂😂😂 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk As opposed to our last book! #oy 😂🤗🤩 2w

Cuilin

A case of identity | Arthur Conan Doyle

@pageshifter @AnneCecilie @indoordame @librarybelle @theAromaOfBooks @Aimeesue @kelli7990 @5feet.of.fury @Read4Life @AnnR @mom2bugnbee @pageturner1 @eeclayton @erzascarletbookgasm @aroyse @dabbe @cuilin @mollyanna @Tineke @Larkken @StayCurious @kimrenee @alldebooks @CogsOfEncouragement @catlass007 @CrystalE02 @curiouserandcurioser @Larkken @BeeCurious

IndoorDame I have mixed feelings about this. I found the fiction vs. reality part of it very satisfying, but the perception of women part infuriating. So the solution itself was actually very satisfying, but then the fact that the law couldn‘t touch her her stepfather, that Sherlock didn‘t bother to tell Mary what he discovered, that he clearly hadn‘t intended to tell her even before she left his office, & how nonchalant he was about it all really rankled. 1mo

CatLass007 I completely agree with @IndoorDame! Holmes is a creature of his time, and I suspect Conan Doyle was as much of a misogynist as his creation. But I sometimes wonder if the term misanthrope would be a more apt description. Holmes is extremely condescending to his male clients and even his supposed friend Dr. John Watson. Did anyone else notice that all the female clients and/or suspects are named “Mary”? 1mo

SpellboundReader Shame on Holmes for judging Mary as having a vacuous face and then not telling Mary who the perpetrator was. How is she to protect herself? It seems Homes just took the case for his own self- gratification. 1mo

See All 27 Comments

Librarybelle I completely agree with @IndoorDame - I enjoyed the fiction but the brush off of Mary and the unwillingness to share his findings is disappointing, though not out of character. Dare I say that I figured out the mystery/solution and I am - gasp - a woman!! Interesting thought, @CatLass007 - I had not thought of that! 1mo

CatLass007 @BeeCurious You‘re quite right. @Librarybelle What exactly had you not thought of? The misogyny, the misanthropy? All the above? 1mo

Librarybelle @CatLass007 Sorry - the use of Mary for the clients and suspects 1mo

CatLass007 @Librarybelle Even Watson‘s wife is named Mary, right. Of course, initially she was a client. Irene Adler is the only character we‘ve met so far which Conan Doyle seems to have used any imagination in choosing a name. Wait, if we were still in college, which I most definitely am not, this could make a fun drinking game. Every time a character named Mary shows up or is even mentioned, everyone drinks!🍷🤪 1mo

dabbe I can't help but be reminded that it is Watson who is writing this (supposedly). So, it's also him who is showing his misogynistic thoughts as well. Plus, a 1st-person narrator is never completely reliable, so how much of these damning words against women are Sherlock's? Or are they Watson's? Or both? 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement Some people change the system and some maneuver the best they can within it. Women don‘t have a lot of rights at this time. Holmes and Watson live within these laws. I feel like Doyle told stories that got people thinking about how someone like that stepfather should be prosecuted but he actually broke no law at that time. 1mo

kelli7990 Yeah. I feel like it was satisfying. 1mo

Read4life Good point, @dabbe Definitely something to think about. 1mo

dabbe @Read4life 🤩😃😍 1mo

Aimeesue I found it satisfying, though I‘m irate at mom for going along with scamming her own daughter. Mary, you need to be more suspicious! 1mo

SpellboundReader @Cuilin Thank you for posting these thought provoking questions. 1mo

Cuilin @BeeCurious you‘re welcome, apologies for lack of responses as I was at a memorial service and with family but hope to respond today. 1mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame agree, for Sherlock solving the riddle comes before caring for the client. 1mo

Cuilin @CatLass007 yes, for Sherlock the puzzle, case always comes first. 1mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle yes , me a woman figured it out too!! Shocking 😮 1mo

Cuilin @dabbe good point but they‘re definitely Doyle‘s and of their time. 1mo

Cuilin @Aimeesue oh that was infuriating!! No Mom awards there. 1mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement I asked my husband (prosecutor) what would happen today? He said they could be charged with conspiracy to defraud. 1mo

IndoorDame @Aimeesue couldn‘t agree more!!!! 1mo

IndoorDame @dabbe such a good point! I‘ve been thinking a lot about Doyle‘s POV as the writer, but basically ignoring Watson‘s. I need to start considering his influence too! 1mo

SpellboundReader @cuilin I'm so sorry for your loss. There is no need to apologize either, as there are other things far more important than Litsy. We all appreciate the time and effort you and @dabbe have put into making this buddy read fun and interesting. I'm learning so much and am not certain if I would have even attempted to read all these #sherlocked stories on my own. 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement @Cuilin Yes, so different today. Thankful for the fight the women before us took on to no longer just be property of their father or husband, to be able to vote, to serve on a jury, etc. Sherlock puts no blame on the mother, and I think we need to remember how limited her power was too. 1mo

dabbe @Cuilin Most definitely. Sorry about your loss, too. 💚 1mo

dabbe @IndoorDame 🤩😃😍 These 3 men: Sherlock, Watson, Doyle ... #oy! 😂 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I feel like her mom is not wrong. It actually doesn‘t matter so she shouldn‘t worry about telling him. But also, her mom clearly doesn‘t know her if she doesn‘t realize Tess‘s conscience will bother her forever like this! 6mo

dabbe These stupid 1800s. It wouldn‘t matter now (she did nothing wrong!). This whole purity thing makes me sick. Tess, however, is pure of heart. The truth is going to come out; I just feel it. And Angel (heaven, right? won‘t be able to handle it. 😟 6mo

Bluebird @dabbe I agree wholeheartedly. I didn‘t enjoy reading these chapters because I feel a big black cloud moving in. 🥺. I have anxiety…just waiting for the storm to strike. 6mo

currentlyreadinginCO Agreed! @Clare-Dragonfly 6mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also, it drives me up a wall how Angel is always interrupting her and guessing what she‘s going to say, refusing to think that she might possibly say anything that would surprise him. Let the lady speak! 😡 6mo

The Stand
Cell
Night Shift
The Talisman
Under the Dome
💛

#stephenking
#shelfie

Melismatic Under the Dome is one of my faves, too! 6y

quietlycuriouskate Holy ? that man certainly knows how to get words on to the page! I've only read "On Writing" and "The Shining" as yet, but I'd like to read more. 6y

GrilledCheeseSamurai Awesome collection! The Dark Tower series is my favorite King. After that I'd probably go with The Stand. 👌 6y

See All 33 Comments

Briguy73 That is a great King collection! 👍 6y

JennyM Very cool 6y

Minervasbutler Favourite King is always difficult. But today I'm going with:, IT, The Stand, The Kennedy One (never remember the date) Salems Lot and The One Where The Guy Goes Back In Time to Assassinate the Trumpian President (don't remember the title of that one either but hey I'm on holiday lol 6y

TheNeverendingTBR @River_Voice you should definitely read The Stand next! 😃 6y

TheNeverendingTBR @GrilledCheeseSamurai I never put The Dark Tower on this list because it's in a category of awesomeness all by itself, and it's a series, I can't pick a favourite instalment from from it; if I HAD to though it would be The Waste Lands! 😃 #oy 6y

TheNeverendingTBR @Briguy73 thank you kind sir! ☺ 6y

TheNeverendingTBR @JennyM thankya, very much! 😊 6y

TheNeverendingTBR @Minervasbutler well the Kennedy one and the Trumpian one are the same. 11/22/63 and that's a good choice, that's a magnificent book! Enjoy your holiday! 😊 6y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @trioxin_sematary I had a ferret named, Oy. 😁 6y

TheNeverendingTBR @GrilledCheeseSamurai excellent! 😃 what's your favourite instalment? 6y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @trioxin_sematary tough call. It's been a long time since I've read them. Fixing that with #TheDarkTowerChapterAWeek buddy read right now though. I remeber reeeeally liking Song of Susannah alot? Honestly...i just really friggen love 'em all. 🤘 6y

Ashley_Nicoletto The Stand has been my favorite so far. I loved it so much I've read it twice and listened to it in audio. 6y

Minervasbutler @trioxin_sematary Ha thanks! I meant The Dead Zone (was too lazy to Google it before ;) 6y

Dogearedcopy In no order: • ‘Salem‘s Lot • The Shining + Doctor Sleep • Carrie • The Stand (Hmm, it looks like I‘m biased toward the older King material!) (edited) 6y

Oryx The Stand and the whole Dark Tower series... And I do have a soft spot for Night Shift (my first King) 6y

Dogearedcopy @Guildedearlobe Have you met @trioxin_sematary and his gf @meghan2714 ? They are mostly horror but I suspect there‘s quite a bit of overlap :-) 6y

Branwen 1) The Stand 2) It 3) The Dark Tower series 4) Bag of Bones 5) Rose Madder 😀 6y

MStew @Dogearedcopy we love horror !!! We both have awesome horror books and retro books not much overlap tbh not yet at least ❤ 6y

Dogearedcopy @meghan2714 LOL, I meant overlap btw you two vs @Guildedearlobe 🙂 He‘s mostly SFF & Post-Apocalyptic but I suspect there‘s stuff all 3 of you would have on common, e.g. #stephenking ❤️ And he also just did a quick sort of his covers as well 😉 (edited) 6y

MStew @Dogearedcopy 😂 i didn't know What you meant tbh 😂😂!! yea we really enjoy SFF AND POST-APOCALYPTIC TOO!! 6y

ShelleyBooksie The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon 6y

Guildedearlobe @Dogearedcopy yeah, we‘ve commented on a few of each other‘s post. We definitely share interest 6y

Guildedearlobe My top 5. The Stand, The Talisman, The Drawing of the Three, Eyes of the Dragon, The Long Walk. (It is close but I just love the Long Walk too much to keep it off he lost) (edited) 6y

Jocelyn73c Honestly, Pet Sematary lol I seriously love it! Anyone watching Castle Rock on Hulu? It's been fun so far! 6y

Jocelyn73c @ShelleyBooksie that was the first Stephen King I ever read and it holds a special place in my heart because of that 😊 6y

Karkar The Stand, Then The Dark Tower series, and The Green Mile 6y

GripLitGrl Awesome collection! My faves Pet Sematary, The Shinning, Doctor Sleep, the list goes on but those are my top 3 6y

Cathythoughts Great Shelfie. Fave SK is 11.22.63 👍🏻❤️ 6y

Breanne1 I really loved Lisey‘s Story 6y

Waluouija I have a King shelf too!! Makes you wonder if he has a shelf dedicated to his own stuff at home too. My favs by him are On Writing, Insomnia, Duma Key, and Bag of Bones!! Ooh and Dreamcatcher. 5y
