peanutnine Roger has the patience of a saint. I'd be so annoyed with my father and brother at this point 🙄 6mo

Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine Right?! 6mo

mcctrish @peanutnine facts!!! I‘m ready to bludgeon the old fart!!! Osborne should bring the French catholic home sooner than later to finish him off 6mo

ElizaMarie And the father being all - I was Hangry 6mo

willaful @ElizaMarie lol! 6mo

Bklover @mcctrish 😂😂😂Yes!! 6mo

julieclair Osborne is not my favorite, but I give him some credit for trying to drum it into his father‘s head that the invitation really is for Roger, on Roger‘s own merit. 6mo

AllDebooks It was such a quick proposal. Talk about a 'you'll do' attitude. 😅 7mo

mcctrish @Cuilin you said it!!!! Roger is a star ⭐️ #gettingcinderellavibes 7mo

willaful Ugh, he doesn't know DIDDLY about her actual character! At least we don't have to call her Clare anymore. #UghHyacinth

Roger is a sweetheart. I'm kind of irritated by Molly, but I tend to hate gooey father-daughter relationships. It's not really her fault she's been spoiled. (edited) 7mo

Bklover @willaful I‘m with you on the gooey relationship with Dad. And Dad appears to be an idiot! It‘s not like he‘s poor and marrying for money! 7mo

willaful @Bklover It's hypocritical of me because I have a gooey mother-daughter relationship, lol. 7mo

Bklover @willaful Me too!!! 7mo

willaful @Bklover 😂 😂 😂 💝 7mo

LiteraryChanteuse Great book, great mini series. 😊 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly #thatescalatedquickly 7mo

Ruthiella This is not a good match! 😱 7mo

Lcsmcat @Cuilin 😂🤣😂 So true! 7mo

ElizaMarie That proposal sucked! 7mo

Bookwormjillk I feel like Hyacinth is such a passive aggressive thing to name a character you don‘t like. No offense to any Hyacinths out there. 7mo

julieclair Oh Gibson, Gibson…. SUCH a bad idea. Why didn‘t you ask us first? We‘d have told you not to do it. 😵‍💫 7mo

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk The only Hyacinth I can think of is Hyacinth Bucket. 😆 7mo

Bookwormjillk I should not have saved this chapter to read during lunch. Nice of Doreen to not leave her in the hall. Feeling bad for the cleaning staff who have had to clean puke several times in just a few chapters. 11mo

dabbe I can't think of a book I've read where there's so much 🤮 in the first few chapters! 🥴 11mo

tpixie Nothing like reading about 🤮 during lunch 🥗! 💚💚💚 11mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk why did I read it before breakfast? I need to take medication with food. I risked it with a couple of bites of toast after reading this I couldn‘t stomach anything else. Ugh nasty 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @tpixie @Bookwormjillk I was eating breakfast, it was berry oatmeal, it was pink, and now it‘s in the garbage 11mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead @cuilin @tpixie @dabbe still better than The Bros. 11mo

mcctrish I knew the food was bad!! The descriptions yesterday of it and her shovelling it in made me queasy. I feel bad for everyone who had to clean up all the vomit 🤮 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 💯💯 11mo

Deblovestoread So I made the mistake of reading all this before I‘ve started today‘s chapter. I‘m afraid, very afraid! 11mo

willaful Glad I leave my daily chapter for bedtime!

Doreen is kinder to her than she was to Doreen. She seems to be a kind of nasty person in fact. Deliberately stomping on people's feet. Admittedly she was very sick.

So this is weird: Ptomaine poisoning is a myth. Did anyone know that? 11mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Pretty much anything beats #thebros, right? 😂 11mo

tpixie @BarkingMadRead lol 😝 bye bye oatmeal 🥣 11mo

tpixie @willaful yes, Doreen treated her kindly. She did seem to take glee and stomping on their feet. I read that it was a myth too. That was surprising. 11mo

Clare-Dragonfly There has been a LOT of vomiting in this book considering we‘re less than 50 pages in! @willaful I knew that… once I googled it to find out what it was 😂 11mo

ElizaMarie I find her super mean spirited. Like she isn‘t a kind person at all. 11mo

TheAromaofBooks @ElizaMarie - I agree, she's SO self-absorbed. All of her actions seemed based on “what will people think about me“ 11mo

mcctrish It‘s a party. Where we chop off her head and stake her heart. What kind of wine goes with that? 1y

CatLass007 @mcctrish 🍷🍷🍷😂😂😂 Let‘s not forget Dracula‘s famous quote “I never drink… wine.” 1y

mcctrish @CatLass007 all the more reason to 🍷🍷🍷🤣 1y

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 @mcctrish 🍷🩸🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

Larkken Poor Lucy. I always liked the follow ups that have her and Mina living happily-ish without all these “helpful” men and their bad parties. 1y

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 @mcctrish Just because Dracula doesn‘t drink wine, doesn‘t mean we can‘t. 🤣🍷🦇 1y

CatLass007 @rubyslippersreads You said it!🍷Cheers. 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Dracula has his brides, Lucy has her husbands 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

Ruthiella When I read this scene, it was instantly familiar to me, probably because it has been spoofed or co-opted so many times since. 1y

rubyslippersreads Please, oh please don‘t give him a cat. 😿 1y

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t know why, he swallowed the fly, perhaps he‘ll die… 🎶 1y

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s what I was singing too 😂🧛‍♂️🪰 1y

CatLass007 I‘m listening to the Audible performance with Alan Cumming, Tim Curry, and an “all-star cast.” Alan Cumming voices Jonathan Harker excellently. In this chapter I found the voice of the actress who voices Mina to be very distracting, so I looked her up. She is the same actress who narrated Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, so it‘s tough to take Mina seriously. 1y

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 that‘s the worst! 1y

mcctrish So much going on in this chapter and yes @rubyslippersreads for the love of god, do not give him a cat 🙏🏻 why is the ship so creepy ?! #justwaitingforittoallgotohell 1y

Bklover @mcctrish The ship seems a bit ominous! 1y

Bklover I‘m feeling a bit nervous for old Mr. Swales 🪦 1y
