dang, no ethnicity is safe! she's whacking everybody!

her writing is seriously so, so incredible. shame about the rampant racism and fatphobia, though

take a shot every time she says something racist and you’ll be tipsy before the end of chapter one 🥴

okay so my prediction is **** is the **** ********

"...finally, Earnshaw crossed over, and whispered to me.
‘Will you ask her to read to us, Zillah? I’m stalled of doing naught; and I do like—I could like to hear her! Dunnot say I wanted it, but ask of yourseln.’
‘Mr. Hareton wishes you would read to us, ma’am,’ I said, immediately."

I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. And you know it's real because I hate Zillah more with each word but she gagged me this time

"You seem like the sort of child who ate bugs."

and what do you know about it mr govmint man

Libby hit me with a sock full of pennies and snatched my audiobook back 😔 little do they know I have it on kindle as back up 😤

380 pages and I just now realized this stupid plant is called dappleglass and not dapplegrass as I have been reading this whole time

This is actually so good if I could just LOCK IN 😤 I gotta grind

Just finished part 1 and I am so scared to start part 2 because I know what's coming and I also know I'm not strong enough

"There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind."

I am only a handful of chapters in and I have almost cried many times. So this is going to be rough.

no one told me she became the imperial accountant and that so much of the plot would be economics 😵

BETHANY JOY GET BEHIND ME

no words for how badly I want to punch these people

"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?"
Mary Ann Evans, if you don't give Dorothea a happy ending so help me...

"...said Dorothea, anxiously, also rising and going to the open window, where Monk was looking in, panting and wagging his tail. She leaned her back against the window-frame, and laid her hand on the dog’s head...she was always attentive to the feelings of dogs, and very polite if she had to decline their advances."
If something good doesn't happen to Dorothea soon I'm rioting

The other night it was late but I thought I would read at least the first chapter before bed. Mistake. That was the best, most intense first chapter I’ve ever read.
I’ve been meaning to make that update for days but I have been too busy devouring this book.

"Dorothea...heard the loud bang of a book on the floor, and turning quickly saw Mr. Casaubon on the library steps clinging forward as if he were in some bodily distress...he was evidently in great straits for breath."

*raises fist and starts chanting* heart attack!! heart attack!! #freeDodo

"Isn't it wonderful? I have many friends now. My mother would be so pleased. 'You are too shy, little one,' she always said. 'You must try your best to make friends, for those who are small cannot easily stand alone.'"
POE GOT ME CRYING IN THE CLUB RN

Emily my beloved curmudgeon and Wendell my beloved himbo

"But he was positively obtrusive at this moment, and his dimpled hands were quite disagreeable."

Mary Ann Evans got me cackling

"Come for me. And we'll see who is stronger."
Bhumika my beloved 🧎🏻‍♀️

"There is something WRONG with this house." Well, it's absolutely riddled with mold and y'all are breathing it in all day every day so maybe let's start there.

Allison I’m sorry I forgot even for a second what a great writer you are

finally got the audiobook back so I'm about to tear through this because I'm sick of seeing it on here. let's hope it picks up in the second half

I've been teeheeing my way through this (currently nonexistent) romance and suddenly four people are dead and someone's on the run for treason and they're throwing around a manslaughter charge.

anyway

"He was as dizzy as if Margaret, instead of looking, and speaking, and moving like a tender graceful woman, had been a sturdy fish-wife, and given him a sound blow with her fists."

He's pathetic and I love him

" '....as I have no thought or expectation of ever asking her to be my wife, you’ll believe me for the future that I’m quite disinterested in speaking about her.' "

two hours later...

"He shook hands with Margaret. He knew it was the first time their hands had met, though she was perfectly unconscious of the fact."

John Thornton, YOU 🫵 are a simp
and I love you for it

they’ve just met and they absolutely hate each other 😌😙
also my girl Elizabeth can WRITE

When the novel is set in the late 1800s and a character develops a cough 😮‍💨🤧 Consumption you will be hearing from my lawyers!

Anyway this is fantastic? It would have to completely go off the rails in the last half for me to understand why the rating is so low

you know how when characters have had an off-screen falling-out and you're dying to know what happened but when you finally learn why it just isn't that serious? THIS AIN'T THAT

we are so back

Johanna Mason I love you
