Lcsmcat Any Keeping Up Appearances fans here? Because Hyacinth! 😂🤣😂 3d
Cuilin I‘m not sure I would want to get between Mr. Gibson and his cheese. Also, I‘m trying to be understanding of Hyacinth, as women in the 19th century if they were not ever so slightly manipulative, they could be coerced into anything. I‘m not sure cheese is the hill I‘d want to die on though. 3d

mcctrish Good lord help us all from Hyacinth! Is it too late to call the whole thing off? Let‘s just find Molly a husband instead of 3d
Cuilin @Lcsmcat bouquet (Bucket) residence Lady of the house speaking”. I keep thinking of her too. (edited) 3d
BarkingMadRead @cuilin I would definitely choose a better hill 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d
willaful Cheese is the hill I would die on, as in I will die for cheese!
3d
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin you are so right about the cheese. 3d
peanutnine Uh oh Roger is paying attention to Molly....the squire would not approve 3d
ElizaMarie @willaful I‘ll die right next to you —- #ForCheese #CheeseIsLife 3d
ElizaMarie Does Molly even need a mother? Isn‘t Mr Gibson too late in thinking this would be “good” for her? Excuses? 3d
BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie yeah I think he waited a smidge too long 🤣 3d
willaful @ElizaMarie I once told someone that I don't trust people who don't like cheese and I'd say I was justified! 3d
Clare-Dragonfly Some women are dripping with diamonds / Some women are dripping with pearls / Lucky me, lucky me, look at what I‘m dripping with / Little girls! (edited) 3d
eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree that Mr G is rather late. It's weird that he tends to (both him and Mrs K actually) treat Molly like a little child but expect her to behave in a mature way. Also, Lydia Bennet had been married for over a year when she was Molly's age. Not that she'd be a good role model, I'm just comparing life stages. 3d
eeclayton @Cuilin manipulation is one thing, but what really bugs me is that she doesn't want to invite her own daughter to the wedding so that she can't outshine her. Just awful. And then there's the matter of the cheese!
Come to think of it, I wonder what kind of person Cynthia will turn out to be.
3d
Lcsmcat @Clare-Dragonfly 😂🤣 3d
Cuilin @eeclayton yeah not wanting your daughter around because she might outshine you, is problematic. 3d
Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly 🧡😂🧡😂 3d
rubyslippersreads @Lcsmcat That‘s exactly who I thought of. 2d

Bookwormjillk You know it‘s going to be a wild ride when you break out #whatcouldgowrong on the first day 🤣 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk right? 🤣🤣🤣 2y
dabbe “Sir“ John seems to think that because he descended from a knight, that he's now noble. If I remember my feudal system history, only the nobles ABOVE the knights could pass on their wealth, holdings, etc., but knights couldn't. And like @BarkingMadRead has already led off with, this can't be good. 🤣 2y
Ruthiella I agree that the parson should have just kept quiet. He couldn‘t have known, though, that Durbyfield would let it go to his head. 😟 2y
Bklover I think that youngest boy is going to show up again and probably cause Tess some trouble. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I wonder whether we‘ll find out why John‘s great-grandfather kept his past quiet. 2y
currentlyreadinginCO Hello! I read Tess 15 yrs ago in a high school lit class. I remember loving the novel due to the imagery and writing, but being mad for Tess throughout. After the first two chapters, that tracks so far! 2y
julieclair @Bookwormjillk I was thinking the same thing! 😆 2y
BarkingMadRead @julieclair uh oh I‘m getting a reputation 🤣🤣 @currentlyreadinginCO it will be interesting to see how you like it now! 2y
Deblovestoread The parson definitely #openedacanofworms 2y

Agnes Grey: Large Print | Anne Anne Bront
post image
eeclayton I read this about 6 or 7 years ago, but I have zero memories of the plot, so it feels like reading it for the first time. 2y
Ruthiella When she mentioned that she was babied by her family and not taught to sew, I thought she was maybe 9 or 10, not 19! 😂 2y

willaful This has such a different feel from the other Bronte books. I hope it continues to be somewhat lighthearted. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella Omg me too!! 2y
BarkingMadRead @willaful I hope so!! 2y
Bookwormjillk My tags aren‘t working so I missed the first day. What is this? A character I sort of like? Not sure what to say. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella Right?! Her family is doing a real disservice by babying her! I am concerned for her independent future. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I liked how one of their ideas for making more money was to have the daughters paint and sell their art—just like Mrs. Graham does in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. And I found the list of specific economies they took really interesting! 2y
dabbe At least in Ch. 1, it's hard to separate Agnes from Ann. It does seem to be rather autobiographical so far, with the exception of having the mother still alive and a strong presence for Agnes. This is setting up the novel to be a classic bildungsroman, where we will witness Agnes's formative years and her spiritual education. 2y
DebinHawaii Can you add me to the tag list? Starting a day late but I‘m going to try to keep up! 😉 2y
BarkingMadRead @DebinHawaii I will add you! 2y
DebinHawaii @BarkingMadRead Thank you! 🤗 2y
ravenlee Please add me to the list - I‘ll catch up over the next couple days. 2y
mcctrish I totally forgot to start this 🤦🏻‍♀️ I‘m catching up and reading on it on Serial ( will people ever learn get rich quick schemes never work?!) 2y

Chapter 13: Lydia is married, everything is back to normal, and Wickham will never come back 🙄 #foreshadowing #hescomingback #hidePolly #whatatrainwreck #shortchaptersarekillingme #jaaaaaaames #pemberlittens #chapteraday

CoffeeNBooks Mr. Hill doesn't need all that money, he just wants some wine and parmesan for himself and Mrs. Hill. 😁 Poor Sarah, everyone will soon forget James was ever there. 😢 3y
julieclair @CoffeeNBooks Isn‘t it amazing how little Mr. Hill would need to feel “rich”? He‘s a good example of the concept of “having enough”. 3y
BarkingMadRead @julieclair @CoffeeNBooks I know! Sweet Mr Hill! 3y
CrowCAH Hopefully they never see Wickham again! 3y
