Cranford | Elizabeth Gaskell

Chapter 1: we meet the people of Cranford #iwantapetcow #butonlyifitwearsclothes #onlyonedude #wherewillthedramacomefrom #snarkywomen #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade don‘t forget to tag me so I can see what version you have!

Bookwormjillk Mine is a boring kindle edition. This chapter seemed almost dystopian. All of our men disappear and we practice elegant economy. A cow in flannel though. I‘m here for it. 11mo

Ruthiella I‘m totally going to have trouble not reading ahead in this one. I love it so far! ❤️ 11mo
Sapphire I have the free cloud library edition. You guys are hysterical. 11mo
TheAromaofBooks Does your cover have... green beans?? I can't WAIT to find out how they fit into the plot, especially if it's important enough that they are the cover pattern! 😂 I did NOT enjoy North & South, so I bought a cheap paperback copy of Cranford. But I enjoyed the first chapter of this one more than I liked the entirety of N&S so hopefully this one is an unexpected win after all! 11mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella the sass is so strong in this one! @TheAromaofBooks it‘s so random, I‘m intrigued. You would think cows in clothes would be a better cover 🤷🏻‍♀️ 11mo
Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I didn‘t like North and South either. But Cranford is delightful so far. Don‘t tell @BarkingMadRead , but I‘ve already read up to chapter six! No green beans so far! (edited) 11mo
Morr_Books I have a Collins Classic edition that I got oversees. "A man is so in the way in the house!" I have said that about my husband on a few occasions. He manages to be everywhere all at once without being helpful. ? 11mo
Daisey I agree that this first chapter was a fun read. I‘ve been around some cows that were almost pets, but never any in clothes! 😂 11mo
Allylu I ordered my copy through the library and I think I will have it tomorrow, so in the meantime I am reading it on my Kindle. This first chapter was such fun! 11mo
DebinHawaii Can you add me to the tags, please? I am just doing the Kindle free version for now. 11mo
BarkingMadRead @DebinHawaii I‘ll add you! 11mo
dabbe I'm reading the Dover Thrift Edition. I'm enjoying this so far. It feels Twain-like to me. I had to remind myself that were not in the southern US, listening to “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,“ but in England, reading “The Nude-Flanneled Cow living in Cranky Cranford.“ 😃 11mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig You've got the Pretty book! 11mo
Bklover Omg it‘s May!!! I‘ll catch up tomorrow I promise!! 11mo
eeclayton I too am reading a basic kindle copy. If you ask me, there's not enough green beans in literature 😂 11mo
Clare-Dragonfly This is absolutely delightful so far! It reminds me of L. M. Montgomery, especially Miss Jessie. I too am reading a very basic Kindle version from the Gutenberg Project. 11mo
BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I can‘t wait to find out what makes the beans relevant 🤣🤣🤣 11mo
TheAromaofBooks @Ruthiella @BarkingMadRead @eeclayton - Upon closer study they MAY be peas, not beans. Hopefully time will tell!! 😂 😂 😂 11mo
rubyslippersreads Could you please add me to the tags? I‘ll be reading on Kindle. I thought I had one among my Folio Gaskells, but alas not. 11mo
