Status Updates From Lady Audley's Secret

I've been reading this on and off all day, and my eyes are finally giving out. It's a long book! I'm pretty sure that I know what's going on in the story, but I'm still anxious to find out for sure....

"All the gardeners Sir Michael could employ could not keep the impress of autumn's destroying hand from the grounds about the Court."

--I love that "autumn's destroying hand."

I've been reading this so avidly, I keep letting my Kindle run down too far, wasting energy, which I hate to irresponsibly do. I need to be more careful. I just didn't want it to go to sleep so I can quickly pick up the story whenever I get a chance. I said in the body of my review that this book is reminiscent of Judge Judy episodes. But it's actually too sad a story--like if Shakespeare wrote a 48 Hours episode.

Alright, actually.. It's my first time for a big classic, and we're reading it as a group, and I'm kinda liking it (imagine using dictionary to find the meaning of the words you've never heard of.. Haha)

Omigod--wow!!! Oh...crap....

This book is sadder than I thought it would be....

I’m reading this book as a buddy read with @F. P., @Iliana Tee and @Mukesh.

Damn, how terribly sad for the young man.... The writing in this book is excellent. I'm kind of disgusted with myself that I didn't read it sooner....

I got so into this book, I forgot to eat my dessert lol! I won't be updating so much anymore. I was just trying to give people an idea of what's going on with this book.

Re to the sentence that starts w/“He must be contented” --That's right: he's no stud anymore if women his age R no studdesses anymore. If women at 55 R too old, then so R men. So tired of double standard. It's BS. We ALL get old. It sux but is life. My husband & I are same age & he hates his age a bit more than I hate mine; he gets so down about it. I tell him stop calling himself old coz then he's calling ME old lol
