Almost 100 pages read and, as yet, no sign of Shirley.

merelybookish Perfect hashtag! 😀 5y
Blaire Love this!! I‘m on chapter 5...#whereisshirley 5y
saresmoore 😂 I‘m still reading Cold Comfort Farm, as well, which means there is some fun overlap, but it also means double the dialect to decipher. I mun get through it! 5y
batsy Great hashtag 😂 I just finished Chapter One last night before the book fell straight into my open, snoring mouth 😆 But now I'll keep in mind that we will be #waitingforShirley 5y
rubyslippersreads @saresmoore Add The Secret Garden for more Yorkshire dialect to decipher. 😄 5y
saresmoore @rubyslippersreads I had forgotten about that! I loved it so much as a child, maybe my brain just glossed over the tricky bits. 5y
saresmoore @batsy I‘ve found I have to read Genji first thing in the morning, with coffee and Shirley I have to listen to via audio first to get through the dialect bits, also in the morning, just after coffee. 🙃☕️ 5y
batsy @saresmoore Genji is my morning coffee read whenever I can, as well! And yes, I think Shirley needs to be a morning read, too :) I'm just annoyed now that there's only one of me, one morning a day, and two books (the cups of coffee, thankfully, are multiple 😂) 5y
saresmoore @batsy Amen, sister. 5y
rubyslippersreads This is the ebook edition I have. My paper copy is too old and delicate to carry with me. 😊 5y
LeahBergen @saresmoore You mun! 😆 Have you got to the Bronte biographer bit in CCF yet?? 😂😂😂 5y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Oh, good! You‘re joining in! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y
LeahBergen @batsy @saresmoore Yep. I‘ve moved Shirley to daytimes reading as well! 5y
LeahBergen @Melissa_J My fave! ✈️😂😂 5y
LeahBergen @Blaire I‘m going to be inordinately excited when I first spot Shirley in the text. 😆😆 5y
LeahBergen @merelybookish I can no longer stop myself from thinking of variations. 😆 5y
merelybookish @LeahBergen A character just complained about "womanites" which got me thinking about new hashtags. ?? 5y
saresmoore @LeahBergen Yes! I‘m sure I‘ll learn all about the truth of Branwell accommodating Anne‘s excessive drinking in 5y

Lunch with Shirley at my messy desk. Well, not actually with Shirley, as she hasn‘t shown up yet. I can‘t wait to start calling people “conceited noodle!”

#ShirlitesUnite

merelybookish 😆 Starting to wonder who Shirley will be to merit the book's title! 5y
saresmoore @merelybookish Same! #whereisshirley Ha! It took me three tries to get that silly hashtag right. (edited) 5y

saresmoore @Weaponxgirl 😂 Oh, I‘m so glad to have found you! 5y
Libby1 I was amused by how many times characters in this book “unclose” the door instead of open it! 5y
