mcctrish @Bookwormjillk so much omelette angst 2w

julieclair Poor Miss Pym arrived late and lost her chance at an omelette. She had to eat macaroni from the staff lunch. Such a shame. 😂 I wonder what Mrs. Kerr will have to eat - she arrived even later than Pym! 😬 1w

BarkingMadRead @julieclair thank you!! 1w

Ruthiella Very short but not too bad for a dream sequence. I‘m a little nervous about Jasper the dog. I don‘t remember him. 😬 5mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a great opening line. 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I don‘t remember! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I love it! @TheBookHippie oh nooooo 5mo

willaful @Ruthiella I don't remember either but according to this spoiler website. it's okay. (Click at your own risk!) https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/20561?index1=-1&index2=-1 5mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead library has it just need to get it to my branch so I should be able to catch up. Supposed to be in by Friday 😅 5mo

IndoorDame Apparently Manderley is based on a house she saw and fell in love with called Menabilly (you can find stunning photos online) and according to what I‘ve read the dream in this chapter could just as easily foreshadow her actual journey with the house, all of which happened after she wrote and published the book. 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly This is gorgeously written! I haven‘t read this before so it‘s all new to me, and I‘m glad to be finally reading it. 5mo

Graciouswarriorprincess Thanks @BarkingMadRead 😀 5mo

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly Awesome you are reading it for the first time! It‘s a great plot. 5mo

Ruthiella @willaful Thank you! 😊 5mo

Bookwormjillk Woohoo new book! I only have the audio version in my library so I‘m reading it that way. 5mo

dabbe @IndoorDame I read too that she was given a lease by the owner at the time, spent money renovating it, and lived there for 20 years before giving it back to the family. I never knew this, and the last time I read it was in the early 1990s before the Internet. Thank goodness for instant knowledge! 🤩 5mo

dabbe The passage where the narrator talks about the wind coming from the western sea reminded me of Cornwall and the island off of it that is prevalent in AND THEN THERE WERE NONE ... and also P.B. Shelley's “Ode to the West Wind.“ Oh, what a tremendous novel embracing Gothic and Romantic literature from the early 1800s. I'm in heaven! #byebyebadbros 🤩 5mo

5feet.of.fury Add me please 😊 5mo

TheAromaofBooks LOVE how atmospheric this chapter is!! 5mo

IndoorDame @dabbe couldn‘t agree more on both counts! #hailtheinternet #byebyebadbros 5mo

KAO I am excited to start something new! Optimistic here! 5mo

dabbe @IndoorDame 💚🩷💚 5mo

peanutnine This is my first time reading and I'm loving the descriptions so far! 5mo

Roary47 @Clare-Dragonfly I completely agree it is so beautiful already! I‘m also a first time reader with you and @peanutnine it will be fun reading with all of you. 🥰💛 5mo

julieclair Please add me! I was too intimidated to attempt the bros, but now I'm back in the brigade! 5mo

julieclair @IndoorDame Thanks for this great info about Menabilly! My husband and I will be touring Cornwall next month. I wonder if it's visible from the road? 5mo

IndoorDame @julieclair oooh, definitely let us know if it is!!! 5mo

BarkingMadRead @julieclair added you! 5mo

julieclair @IndoorDame Will do! 5mo

Bookwormjillk We needed a short chapter today. 7mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk we earned it! 7mo

currentlyreadinginCO She loves having almost been murdered!! 😂😂 7mo

dabbe Is it horrible of me that when I go to read a chapter, I quickly figure out how many pages it is, and then I (almost) jump for joy when it less than 10? 🤩 7mo

Cuilin I‘m so behind, still playing catch up. 7mo

mcctrish @dabbe we are twins 🤣 I start every reading by looking ahead at how many pages a-thinking “yes” #lessthan10 or “groan” #toomany I am seriously ‘a-doubting and a-feared‘ this book will ever end 7mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe @mcctrish for real! 🙄 @Cuilin there are some shorter chapters ahead! You can do it!! 7mo

dabbe @mcctrish #greatminds 🤩😂😍 7mo

5feet.of.fury I told myself I either have to catch up this weekend or throw in the towel, this is where I am now. 6mo

julieclair Please add me to the tag list. Thanks! 12mo

Daisey I enjoyed listening to the first chapter on my way to work this morning. Also appreciated the tag as I couldn‘t remember if I officially signed up for this one or not. 12mo

julieclair The two halves of Chandrapore sound very different. Beautifully done descriptive writing. If all the chapters are this short, I should have no trouble keeping up! 😆 12mo

Cuilin I have the same copy!! 12mo

mcctrish @julieclair I agree on all counts. School starts on Tuesday and I‘m in a panic over how many chapter a days I‘ve thrown my name in for 🤦🏻‍♀️ how the heck did it become September so fast 😆 12mo

julieclair @mcctrish I'm in the same boat with chapter a days. But they are all so much fun! 12mo

Bklover @julieclair I agree! One half sounds awful! 12mo

eeclayton I think I'll sit this one out after all. I'm quite overwhelmed with work and haven't even finished Vanity Fair. I'll rejoin you in October, but until then can you remove me from the tag list, please? @BarkingMadRead 12mo

Ruthiella I‘m thinking back and do we have any real confirmation of his initial preference for Kitty except as per Kitty‘s interpretation? 🤔. Also, anybody catch the return of Isabella Thorpe? #Ohnoshedidnt 1y

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame OMG 💯 1y

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 1y

eeclayton @Bookwormjillk I find this part of Agnes so relatable. Thinking about the man all the time, then being completely useless when the opportunity presents itself -- been there, done that! 1y

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk YES, dame! 😂 Dear autocorrect, I wrote “same” but we‘ll go with it! 1y

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly ha! I love it. 1y

Ruthiella Rosalie claims she would have sent the footman back for Agnes? I doubt it. 🙄 I think Mr. Weston was looking at Agnes the whole time…waiting to see if there was any way to catch her attention. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella yeah, I don‘t see that happening, either. More likely, Rosalie would have left her behind 🤣 1y

TheAromaofBooks I'm so scared about how Rosalie is going to sabotage Agnes's life once she realizes which way the wind is blowing! 1y

willaful @TheAromaofBooks It's going to be ugly... 1y

dabbe I love how Weston gently persisted with the umbrella exchange. That was 🤩🤩🤩 for that time period, right? Not only do I want Agnes to succeed as our hero, I want the villain to PAY. And pay good. Don't let me down, Anne! 1y
