The book needs trigger warnings. I am bothered that it’s marketed as being so funny but there’s some serious, terrible stuff going on. This feels like an important book, but it should be fair to it’s readers

I get the point and bad things happen in stories but I scene with the advisor, Im upset and i should be. I think “do stories really need to be detailed about something like that?” And they probably do. Especially when emphasizing how terrible conditions, situations, and treatments of others are.

“Children, set the table. Your mother needs a moment to herself.” - Elizabeth Zott

He just never quit. He stole a new oil painting on copper, a landscape, and hung it in the new gf’s apartment, 2015. This was after he stole clothes and ruined his own book, press tour in 2006. He steals snd sells stuff like roman coins, gets caught again and jailed again in 2019. He even steals a booklet from Ruben’s House for the Adam and Eve ivory.

From an ever supportive grandma “Museums didn’t have to leave all that stuff lying around.” His father of all people saw the story on the news and wrote him. Crazy that they rekindled their relationship after he was arrested. Mom is in prison because she destroyed and got rid of the art so she was probably an accessory to the crime. Anne-Catherine won’t talk to him so good for her.

The three conjoined panels of the apothecary shop… begin to separate and warp. A skilled professional restorer can gradually untwist wood and reconnect the panels.
Breitwieser tried to fix it himself… a method one curator calls “brutal”, he forces the panels into approximate position and seals them with SUPER GLUE!

Beauty, to be unpoetic but precise, is in the medial orbital-frontal cortex of the beholder

The work was displayed in the museum’s entry room, the most crowded spot”
Madeline was there; then she wasn’t
A work that had hung undisturbed in the museum for 138 years, since it had been given by a private donor so the painting could be seen by the public, had just vanished like a soap bubble into the air

27 - “coup de coeur” (a blow to the heart) for the art and Anne-Catherine

37 - fou de joie (crazy joy)

Breitwieser is an unemployed freeloader holed up in his mother’s house.
An “art liberator”

Omg wtf happened? God he told every wrong person what was up, Bleakly, Mitch Parsley (the family friend). Daisy broke all our hearts by faking her death but she is the real hero isn’t she. I was hoping they got together of course. I’ll update my comments if i think of anything else. I cannot believe this is from a teal memoir. Glad Dad survived

We arrested a strange old cove in York, swore he was from the future. He said that one day everyone would have a screen to look at that would hold the wisdom of the ages. A likely story👀

We better get closure on so many things. Id rather Deedee be a super spy than the redrum-er. Hopefully Ingleby gets his title back and sister reaps what she sees. Do we think the kid is stealing from the farms? I know we have a whole military problem, but are the farm thefts even real or was that a ruse? 🤷‍♀️

Old Vicky managed to hang around for a long time.
That, she did. But she was a one-off. There won’t be a monarch that outlasts her for a long time.
Well, Queen Elizabeth sure proved him wrong

Deedee is so sus. Idk if she is directly attacking people but she might be working with someone. Who is her dad and maybe he holds a grudge? Also, the secret service dude seemed to know who she was. Why can’t he call the mystery nimber? Watch Bleakly save everyone

“Gaunt’s fun palace”, “Gloom Towers”
The sarcasm is incredible

My goodness, Santa Claus appears to have got it terribly wrong this year. - Damnish Junior

Dad is odd. Does the case bring Dad around to appreciate the son?

For the festive season
I didn’t except this to be based on someone’s real experiences

This is weakness! I will not wed someone who offers my city nothing
Where was your city when you needed it most? I am nothing?
What did Gilsazi do? He led Talitha into a trap, possibly his wife. Naram must have threatened the kids or he knew a bigger plan

Read both stories back to back. I hope Shaza is alive and in love

I have a malformed public duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber

Arthur’s lack of attention helped him fly! He tripped so many times. Foreshadowing an assignation?!
Is that the way you like it, Mr. Beeblebrox?
The questions and the answer will cancel out and take the universe with them, it will then be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable

I just wanted to read this and understand it thoroughly without commenting.
“I can no longer sit in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late that such precious feelings are gone for ever.” ❤️
It’s the declarations of love that make these old stories the best stories!

“he had a heart returning to her at least; that anger, resentment, avoidance were no more; and that they were succeeded not merely by friendship and regard but by the tenderness of the past; yes some share of the tenderness of the past. She could not contemplate the change as implying less. He must love her.
-Ma’am… you got all that from a 30 min conversation?!

I heard someone say that authors of “classics” are known to go on tangents and that’s what this feels like to be, a big tangent. Captain Wentworth has barely been in the book, building a relationship with Louisa! Lady Russell wants Anne to marry Mr Elliot. Mr Elliot is the shady one. I thought there would be more between Anne and Wentworth 🤷‍♀️

I for sure thought the cousin Elliot knew of Anne and was visiting the family in hopes of seeing her. Why didn’t Benwick “call on” her at Lady Russel’s place? Im predicting he ends up with Louisa. Will
wentworth be jealous if she starts a relationship with Mr Elliot? Anne seems so kind and caring. She helps everyone and the Musgroves all like her.

Louisa’s fall and knock out was the most climactic even yet. Im happy they all had a good time before that. I am also glad that Anne is useful and a kind companion. Something other than her looks. Which i guess makes her stand out from her family. Mary sucks. I don’t like Captain Wentworth much, but he seems concerned, or guilty, about what happened to Louisa. What will happen when Anne goes back to Kellylynch?

Did she know what she was doing when she named the cousins “Hayter”? Because Charles is a Frederick hater for sure!
I cannot believe Wentworth implied thar Anne is ugly! “So altered that he should not have known her again!”
He is so bitter and I doubt he thinks this at all.
I predict that Henrietta will choose Hayter because Mary doesn’t want her to

“Poor Richard” he had been nothing better than a thick-headed, unfeeling, unprofitable Dick Musgrove

Fredrick Wentworth - “a fine dashing fellow, only two perticular about the school-master”

Okay so we are not starting at the beginning of the love story, we are starting when they meet up again. I read the back where it said “eight years later” but I thought they would meet now? Idk What has he done that will keep them apart? I predict that he is engaged or courting someone or the family tries to push the sister on him.
