- Sir I would like to ask for her hand in marriage, because I love her truly.
- Do you have any reason to suspect she loves you as well?
- None at all so far.

I wish I had this kind of confidence.

I am bit scared of this novel, I heard it's quite different to other Dickens books 😭

The devil take Miss Horseman! I agree.

Twenty pages in and a child is already dead 🙂

Poor Peter. Victorian people were so boring.

I know, I know, I need to finish Don Quijote.

As Ron so pointedly put it: "Why is it always spiders? 😫"

I am putting this back on my Winter TBR. Spring is the time for the countryside, not the city.

Ooof nooo. Not the out of the blue love confession 😬

"In the future readers of newspapers and magazines will probably view news pictures more as illustrations than as reportage, since they will be well aware that they can no longer distinguish between a genuine image and one that has been manipulated." This quote gets more real by the day.

Starting this book while writing my thesis paper was truly a choice. I thought I was free from the research articles.

Whenever Belli is mentioned I always think of Belly from TSITP and it's honestly so funny because she would not fit into this world at all

The tales of Norse mythology (and mainly Loki) continue

You're become a Disney princess Magnus!

Not even dogs are safe from childhood trauma

Loved both Lassie and Balto as a child, so I'm excited for this book

JD 🤝 The Phantom
'A woman rejected me therefore I simply must commit an act of terrorism'

"Poor Erik"
'He thought he had misheard. The only one who should be pitied is him'. Why is Raul SUCH a pick-me in this book 😭

Susan, we agree with you. We hate the clock change

My dearest, Angelica = Your Kenneth

'The house unbuilds.'
But the tree is still standing? Why?

'You would have been an amazing spy.'
'Who says I haven't been one?'
And we get to see none of that ;(

So not one of her lovers ever left the room while she was with them. Not even for a bathroom break

Okay Evan Hansen

I like that Rilla didn't fall in love with the baby instantly

"Sweet little Una, of whom Cecilia had begged him to take special care. He must do something-but what?" Hmm I don't know maybe take care of your children?? Like your wife asked you to????

Okay Faith that was quite good, I admit 😆

'It is never quite safe to think that we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter."

Dolls are dead 😭
