Austen_meets_Annie @Ruthiella 🤣 now

Austen_meets_Annie I'm switching from audio to kindle. Audiobook that I got on Hoopla has no Chapters. So you never know how long it's going to be and makes it impossible to swap between. now

Clare-Dragonfly Notice how she said she wasn‘t going to say much about the evil oldest brother (I already forgot his name and they all start with M) and then the paragraph on him was literally the longest of any of the boys? @lil1inblue yuuuuuuuuuup now

mcctrish Robert could have hired some of the less rabble-like handworkers? To learn the machines ? Or is that what the children do? The men are all out of work and he‘s hiring child labourers? 🤯#burnitdownrabblerousers 23h

Clare-Dragonfly Hall is a good man. I hope we get more of him. 23h

lil1inblue I got Christmas Carol vibes from this chapter. 😭 22h

willaful @lil1inblue I did too. It's very Dickens to think the solution is for the owners to just be better people. Not that it would hurt, that's for sure... 14h

Ruthiella Worst tea party ever. I think it‘s money and pride that are holding Moore back. He‘d marry Caroline if he weren‘t broke. 2d

See All 22 Comments

TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣FINALLY something happens … 2d

Deblovestoread Shirley isn‘t Caroline‘s mother…or is she? Enquiring minds want to know. 2d

mcctrish I‘d be out of my mind if I was the cook and 7 ? unexpected guests showed up for tea and even worse is the dumbass who won‘t drink his cold tea to end the tea to hold power over the tea 2d

mcctrish ALSO how fucking miserable is it that ‘we‘ keep women uneducated so they are useless to talk to and therefore don‘t want to marry them because who the fuck wants to live with a ninny unless you like a ninny cuz they are easy to make fun of and why have a woman if you can‘t make fun of them #OHMYGOD 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so so many things about this chapter irritated me. Don‘t even get me started on having to do a Google search of a Jew-basket and the images that come up. Omg 2d

mcctrish oh god I totally forgot about the ' jew basket' in my rage! handicrafts sold at exorbitant prices to fund the gathering of the lost 10 tribes and convert them FFS 2d

ElizaMarie googling Jew-basket now

https://dragoncache.blogspot.com (edited) 2d

lil1inblue I realized why I can't keep any of the men's names straight in this book: I know all of these types IRL and they have other names. 😂 2d

willaful #GoToHellRobert #CarolineDeservesBetter 2d

lil1inblue @mcctrish Oh, Donne made me so mad! But I loved when Bronte called him a #pitifulprater. 😂 2d

lil1inblue @willaful 🎯 🎯 🎯 2d

Bookwormjillk I liked this chapter despite taking all day to read. It was quite funny with the kissing cousins and all. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly “Boys are dumb” was definitely the theme of this chapter. With a brief detour for antisemitism and racism. 2d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 💯💯 2d

Austen_meets_Annie I just found this hilarious:
“Yes, you must go, or they will come in and find us here; and I, rather than meet all that host in the passage, will take my departure through the window. Luckily it opens like a door.“ 2d

mcctrish @Austen_meets_Annie that was the most personality Robert has shown so far 👏🏻👏🏻 2d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly today‘s tea will include misogyny with a sprinkle of antisemitism and racism for dessert 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Can I place a different order? I‘ve had enough of those flavors to last a lifetime. 1d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly the menu should indeed be different by now! 1d

Bookwormjillk Chapter 6 and I am finally starting to understand who some of these people are. 3d

See All 14 Comments

Ruthiella I wonder if C and R will marry and are Shirley‘s parents? 3d

mcctrish How old is Robert? Not that things like this matter in these olden times 🙄 and #horriblehortense IS insufferable 3d

eeclayton @Ruthiella that's a good theory! 3d

eeclayton @mcctrish in his early thirties, if I remember well 3d

ElizaMarie So I was confused about Moore, like does he like her or just likes her attention and is playing with her. Up till the end of the chapter I thought that he was playing with her- but then his last comment —- 3d

lil1inblue @Bookwormjillk #ditto 🙃 3d

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella Oh, good thought! 3d

lil1inblue @ElizaMarie I get so many shady vibes from Moore! I think he likes that she likes him, but doesn't necessarily like her. But I guess we shall see! 3d

willaful @lil1inblue I'm a romantic so I prefer to think he's in love against his will and will find out! On the other hand, I see no happy ending for them. 3d

lil1inblue @willaful I could see that, as well, now that you mention it! I dislike his inconsistency with her, but I see where it could be because of conflict. But since it's a Bronte, I agree that there will be no happy ending. 😂 3d

Clare-Dragonfly I cackled out loud—don‘t know why I didn‘t think of this Coriolanus 🤣 They read an ENTIRE Shakespeare play and still had time for music and poetry?! I guess these English winter evenings are long but wow… 3d

Ruthiella Definitely something going on between Caroline and Moore! Also, see how times have changed. Brontë has apparently no issue with child labor as long as they are not mistreated. 4d

BarkingMadRead @willaful exactly! When she arrives, we will have to throw a party 🤣 4d

Bookwormjillk Some day Shirley is going to show up and I hope we‘re not disappointed 4d

melissajayne Shirley arrives in Chapters 11 4d

eeclayton @Ruthiella that's a great point. She mentions it as something completely normal and acceptable. 4d

Bklover @Ruthiella Yes!!! 4d

melissajayne @Bookwormjillk she shows up in Chapter 11 4d

Clare-Dragonfly @eeclayton Of course. It was, at the time. I have been on a ghost tour of an old cotton mill many times and the number of child ghosts… 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Apparently I was wrong about Shirley being Moore‘s sister! 4d

ElizaMarie I like the comment about asking the teen about attire. Caroline seems like a fun character 4d

mcctrish @Ruthiella I had to reread it, I was thinking why are all the children coming to the mill? Did I misread something? Is this school? Wait? Child labour? Oh it‘s okay to be dinged a penny for being the last to arrive cuz no one gets hit 🤷🏻‍♀️🤯 4d

Deblovestoread Sis has a very high opinion of herself… 4d

lil1inblue @mcctrish I kind of lost the thread for a minute myself. And your last sentence was almost my exact thought last night. 😳 3d

dabbe I thought LARK RISE was hard to get going ... but this ... 😳 5d

Bookwormjillk I‘m glad I‘m not the only one struggling with this. I thought it was just a post holiday potato coma or something 5d

lil1inblue @dabbe @bookwormjillk If I didn't know better, I would wonder if I'm reading the right book. Such a slow start! 5d

KAO Every time that the narrator addresses us directly as readers, I hear the voice of Lady Whistledown from the “Bridgerton” series in my head: “Dear Reader…”! 5d

ElizaMarie @KAO ooo me too! I kinda liked her addressing us throughout! 5d

Deblovestoread Same! It reminds me why I didn‘t make it very far the first time. She‘s got to be showing up soon! Was Brontë hoping this beginning would draw in the men? ? 5d

julieclair I‘m on the struggle bus too. Surely things will pick up soon… 5d

mcctrish I skipped reading yesterday because taking down Christmas sucked up all my time - lord above this is dry as a desert! @KAO I really wish some salacious gossip from Lady Whistledown would get interspersed with this #yorkeisintolerantofeverybody #shirleymustbeinudolpho @dabbe who knew we‘d miss Lark Rise @Deblovestoread does Charlotte not hate men?

Bookwormjillk Lol perfect pic, because yeah. Completely random at least to me. 2w

TheAromaofBooks That is an AMAZING picture 😂 I did kind of suspect Wyatt, but not for any of the reasons he gave LOL I was thinking more along the lines of him not wanting the family name to be disgraced or something like that. But I really felt like the ending was a stretch after everything we went through. 2w

eeclayton Another well chosen photo that perfectly captures how I feel about the ending! #didnotseethiscoming #ifeelcheated 2w

Ruthiella So far fetched! 😂 I also feel let down by the ending. 2w

AnnCrystal Precious 🤩💝. 2w

KAO Cute picture! But that‘s the best part of this ending, in my opinion. I struggled with this whole book, I must confess! The language (so many regional and dated expressions!) was entertaining though. Thanks for guiding us through it, but I‘m glad to move on to Shirley! 2w

Bklover Well. It wasn‘t Meggie. I was so sure!! Apparently this is part of a series with Albert Campion. And again I say “huh?” 2w

Bklover And what a cutie pie!! Love the photo! 2w

lil1inblue That pic is the perfect reaction to this ending. #definitelyfeelcheated #whysorandom #whatthefork 2w

rubyslippersreads @Bklover I‘m curious whether anyone is going to read more books in the series, where Campion is more of the main character? I‘ve seen them praised by famous mystery writers, but I wonder if they‘re all as squirrely as this one? 😏 2w

mcctrish Your granddaughter wins!!! The only good part of the lame ass ending was Wyatt being proud of his perfect crime and Abbershaw pointing out all the holes and lack of perfection #dontquityourdayjobwyatt 2w

willaful @TheAromaofBooks yes, I was sure it was Wyatt but where on earth did that backstory come from?! 2w

willaful @rubyslippersreads they definitely get better, though I'm not sure I'm inclined to reread any. So many other books. 2w

dabbe @willaful @TheAromaofBooks This is when a detective story can feel like we got cheated. Where the hell did that backstory come from indeed? We therefore were not privy to all the information--which is why we feel cheated! And, for a series that is continuing on with Campion, where the hell was he? He's been AWOL for PAGES!!! Her first book was definitely experimental IMHO. I wonder if they get better, and I'm not sure I want to find out. 🤣 2w

dabbe Couldn't (again) have read through this without the incomparable @BarkingMadRead and this lovely group! 🩶🤍🩵 2w

ElizaMarie I was also so blindsided by this crazy, weirdness. As @dabbe mentioned, thank you again and again for @barkingmandread for being the amazing host that you are. Love this picture too! 2w

BarkingMadRead @anncrystal @kao @bklover @lil1inblue @mcctrish thank you!! I love her so much, she‘s such a joy! 2w

dabbe She is AD🩵RABLE! 2w

BarkingMadRead Yall, this book was nuts. I won‘t be reading any more of them 🤣 I wondered the same about campion. If she was going to use him in future, he should have played a role in the ending! So crazy!! 2w

BarkingMadRead @dabbe thank you!! 2w

mcctrish @dabbe @BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk @eeclayton @Ruthiella @AnnCrystal @KAO @Bklover @lil1inblue @rubyslippersreads @willaful the best part of a bonkers group read is the injokes going forward #whenallthemendied #therewasnomysteryinudolpho #maincharacterenegylikecampion 2w

Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads I will very likely continue. 2w

AllDebooks Oh my, she is adorable, and that look totally sums up this book. Absolute bonkers! I only continued reading for this group. You make the craziest, dullest books bearable with your hilarious #s, Kim. You are the 👑👸 of summarisation. Thank you for all your hard work @BarkingMadRead 💜 2w

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead I hate this book and all its absurd pomposity. That proposal was madness! I will not be reading any more of her books. Thank you and goodnight. 2w

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks thank you! And 🤣🤣🤣 2w

Gissy Adorable🥰 💖 2w

Larkken @rubyslippersreads I may continue. I find golden age mysteries to be very readable. However, I also suspected Wyatt, though not for the batty reasons he gave, and much like @TheAromaofBooks and @willaful (edited) 2w

Larkken Great photo! So cute and appropriate 🥰 2w

kwmg40 Thanks for sharing the great photo of your granddaughter! As for the book, I agree with others that this one was weak. However, I have enjoyed other Albert Campion books, and I did learn that Allingham had never meant to bring Campion back as a major character when writing this book, and only did so after her publishers insisted. 2w

willaful @dabbe yes, very much the same type. 3w

willaful @Bookwormjillk keeping us on our toes! 3w

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella accurate 3w

Bookwormjillk Wait I just looked it up and this is a series? I don‘t think I‘m strong enough for more than one. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk oh hell no. This better have an ending 🤣 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I think it's a series like Sherlock Holmes is, with Campion like a Holmes or Poirot. I think. 🤣 3w

willaful @dabbe yes, and it does gain some gravitas as it goes on. 3w

lil1inblue I can't wait to see what happens when things go awry. How wild will it get? 😂 3w

mcctrish Someone is going to be MAD when they find Meggie and Abbershaw missing from a locked room 3w

willaful Good grief! Well, Campion and Mrs. whaterface have been seen in the same room, so I guess my theory that she was him in disguise is off. 😂 3w

lil1inblue Why do I feel like the son is some sort of police officer or something? She's so sure of him! 3w

willaful @Bookwormjillk I feel that the peeing, along with many other things, will continue to be a mystery! 3w
