IndoorDame For someone who was promised to be super forthcoming with her opinions I found Beatrice pretty cryptic. I think “not Rebecca” is a positive grade from the new SIL, but I definitely wouldn‘t be sure if I were in Jan‘s (super unfashionable) shoes 2w

Bookwormjillk Frustrating chapter (but in a good way.) Tell us what you know Beatrice! 2w

julieclair I like Beatrice and hope that she and Jan will become friends. And maybe Beatrice will also answer all of our (uh, I mean Jan‘s) questions! 🤞 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Jan is such a child. I'm surprised she didn't hide under her bed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I like Beatrice! But I sure wish Jan would have asked her more questions. 2w

Graciouswarriorprincess @Crinoline_Laphroaig lol! I agree but I like Beatrice. 2w

willaful LOL at the pic! 2w

ElizaMarie Beatrice holds all the answers! 2w

Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

B12C4

The questioning of Katerina Ivanovna began. As soon as she made her appearance there was an unusual stir in the chamber. The ladies seized their lorgnettes and opera-glasses, the men began to show some signs of life, and several stood up in order to see better. Everyone subsequently asserted that Mitya had gone ‘as white as a sheet‘ as soon as she came in.

The Accidental Veterinarian: Tales from a Pet Practice | Philipp Schott

pick

(2019) I've reached a point where animal stories are a comfort genre, and these filled that Rx. I expected a book of odd vet stories, but got a variety, including insights into the business of veterinary practice, pet medical care 101 (including tips on pilling your cat and reading dog poop), and yes odd vet stories. Speaking of which: on the left is a sad boy who chewed his dewclaw off (because dog) so is seeing a vet in the morning.

Leftcoastzen Awww, poor guy!🐶 2mo

swynn @Leftcoastzen @TheBookgeekFrau @Jari-chan @dabbe Update on the dewclaw-chewer: the vet prescribed a round of painkillers and antibiotics and an entire week of wearing the e-collar. The injustice! 2mo

Jari-chan @swynn Oh no! I hope that after this week everything goes back to normal 🤞 2mo

dabbe @swynn As Scooby-Doo would say, #ruhroh! And that should be a hashtag: #dewclawchewer! Hang in there, sweet boy! 🖤🐾🖤 2mo

Discussion is still going strong for The Bungalow Mystery, so feel free to stop by the questions whenever!

The next book for #NancyDrewBR is The Mystery at Lilac Inn. Personally, I‘m drawn to the image on the 1980s cover, with the ghostly image!

Discussions questions will be posted on February 15th.

Librarybelle @BethM I‘ve never read a Trixie book, but I have heard of her! 3mo

kspenmoll Sorry I missed the discussion for the Bungalow - I did read all the comments & appreciated all thoughts. 3mo

lauraisntwilder @BethM My mom read Trixie and, since starting to read Nancy Drew, I keep thinking I should read those, too. 3mo

TheAromaofBooks @BethM - Yes!!! I actually loved Trixie even more because HORSES 😂 And they did feel more like real people, I thought. 3mo

julieclair Yay! This is so much fun. 😀 3mo

BethM @lauraisntwilder @TheAromaofBooks I‘m down for a read along! 3mo

TheAromaofBooks @BethM @lauraisntwilder - Let me know if you decide to do one - I can't host any more because I have to show SOME restraint! 😂 3mo

lauraisntwilder @BethM @TheAromaofBooks I'll ask my mom if she can find her Trixie books. I don't think I'll have much luck at my library with those! 3mo

Bren912 I Love Trixie Belden as well @BethM 3mo

Bklover She should stress! What a mistake that will be!! 7mo

willaful I feel like this can not end well. And I'm worried about Mrs. Moore. 7mo

AnnR It seems like both ladies are having mental breakdowns but for different reasons. What a time for it though, especially since Dr. Aziz will certainly get blamed for something as he's #caughtinthemiddle of all this. 7mo

dabbe So Aziz gets angry at her so-called-are-you-a-polygamist comment and goes into a cave. She follows in a meandering fashion and also goes into “A“ cave, not “THE“ cave. She's alone perhaps? Where's the guide? #ruhroh all over this chapter's ending. 😱 7mo

Autumn in Vermont: A Southerner's Love Affair with a Northern State | Tom Wicker

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. Look at the leaves (I do live in Vermont, after all), hike, go apple picking, have backyard fires, eat s'mores, watch football, and just generally enjoy the chill in the air.

2. Melancholy

3. Rabbit, Run (Updike)

wanderinglynn Feeling similarly. Melancholy was my second choice word after weary. 💙 7mo

The_Penniless_Author @wanderinglynn Ha, no joke, weary was my second choice! 7mo

The_Penniless_Author @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm It is better than Mud Season (May), I'll give it that. 😁 (Actually, May is one of my favorite months here, just not if you have to drive anywhere without paved roads.) 7mo

wanderinglynn Great minds! Or maybe weary, melancholy minds . . . 7mo

The_Penniless_Author @wanderinglynn I suppose most melancholy people are weary (and vice versa) 😅 7mo

CBee The weary discussion immediately brought the song Try a Little Tenderness to my brain…. “Oh, she may be weary…..” I may or may not have been jamming to it in the car yesterday (Otis 💚💚). I‘m a generally melancholy person so, I feel ya Randy 🫠 7mo

CBee And thanks for the tag 🙂 7mo

eeclayton Thanks for the tag 🙂 I actually bailed on Rabbit Run, I'll be curious to read your review. 7mo

The_Penniless_Author @cbee You're melancholy, like Otis Redding, and have a yellowish-orange pet with a comically long face? We should be friends! 😆 7mo

The_Penniless_Author @eeclayton Oh no, now I'm too scared to post it! 🤣 7mo

dabbe Okay, next year autumn-leaves party at @The_Penniless_Author's place! That will get rid of all of our melancholy! 🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for the tag, too! 7mo

CBee @The_Penniless_Author I guess you could say she‘s sorta yellowish orange, but she‘s more auburn reddish. But STILL! She does have a nice long snoot. Her name is Izzy and she‘s almost 16! And oh my yes, Otis is 🔥🔥🔥 (edited) 7mo

The_Penniless_Author @dabbe Until you discover that I charge market rate on Airbnb, at which point your melancholy becomes full-on depression 😂 7mo

A Passage to India | E. M. Forster

'He had discovered that it is possible to keep in with Indians and Englishmen...' - Fielding contends that English women can never be friends with Indian men, as disasters happen.

#yesimshippingfieldingandazizagain

Fielding & Aziz forge an instant friendship despite racial differences.

Adela's not going to marry Ronny - 'I'm afraid I can't do that'.

Bookwormjillk I'm not a fan either. 8mo

Morr_Books I am reserving my feelings on Aziz. I like the fact that he is kinda rebellious and doing his own thing, but also that may mean that he is feeling a bit too self-important. 8mo

See All 9 Comments

dabbe I can't tell if I like him yet or not either. Serious foreboding to me, though, when Ronny says he doesn't like that Adela was alone with two men. That's a #ruhroh if I ever saw one! 😃

Also, is Adela telling Aziz that she's not staying in India an unconscious way of saying she doesn't want to marry Ronny? 🤔 (edited) 8mo

BarkingMadRead Ok now I feel like I read the wrong chapter or something, Adela met Aziz?!? 8mo

julieclair I think Aziz is ruled too much by emotions and whims, and I fear it will get him into trouble. 8mo

jenniferw88 @BarkingMadRead Adela didn't meet Aziz! @julieclair you're 100% correct with your thoughts, and the fear (I'd say) is 95% right - what happens is rather ambiguous so this isn't a spoiler 😂! 8mo

julieclair @jenniferw88 Ooohhh.... can't wait to see what happens!! 8mo

mcctrish Aziz feels like he makes up rules as he goes and he might piss everyone off but interesting that despite the Colander ( I am making up names for these stupid English people ) being fed up with Aziz, Mrs Graystone would have faired better with Aziz as a surgeon in Colander‘s opinion 8mo
