I am loving this but I had to switch editions because what in the 80s was that cover???

MWT is such a master of restraint that a character calling someone they love by their first name can make me gasp aloud

I think Sophos finally telling everyone to shut up is truly the most satisfying moment of this entire book

Oops rereading this I guess

This entire book is a prequel to a novel he NEVER wrote?????
WHAT DO YOU MEAN???

Would not recommend starting this unless you are immediately ready to be sad for dog

I forgot that I can get serious second-hand stress from an Austen book — is that how you know she’s a master?

Also, if I was Fanny I fear that I would simply resort to VIOLENCE if harassed like this

Someone get this poor girl a restraining warrant

Started reading this in its entirety as well so it’s going on the list!
Really like how much actual camping advice they have in here; I thought it’d be just recipes but it’s a lot more practical

I can’t properly explain how cool this scene was but Sidney unlocks his highly competent persona after downing that brandy

Also Jerry really said “But enough about that” after making a claim like THAT 💀

There are too many pages left (ominous)

Legitimately wondering if Dickens wrote this just to dunk on the French

Also, this is a terrible plan, Charles!

Every time someone complains that this book isn’t “romantic” or “fun” I can hear Jane Austen shouting from her grave about the long lasting psychological effects of CHILD ABUSE

On a completely unrelated note, I want to throw a chair at Mrs. Norris

Yes, I have been reading every page of this

This plot has me audibly gasping like some Victorian lady

Also, I fear knitting has never looked so hardcore

Sydney Carton is the epitome of Sad Boy Hours

RIP Jane Austen you would have loved to hate on theater kids 😔

I actually recommend reading this before you bake anything because I was not prepared for the yields on some of these historic recipes
Makes: 18 dozen cookies

I would like to both thank the library for getting another one of these and also apologize to them because I will be keeping this for an entire year

Freaking scurvy, man

“You may be tempted to do _____. Do not do this.”

Everyone who is not Fanny in this book is just TERRIBLE no wonder girl is constantly exhausted and anxious 24/7

Not sure how I feel about Dickens’ prose but those first four chapters are a WILD start to a plot

This book doesn’t have a normal climax; it hits the gas at the halfway point and just goes at full speed until the ending

Elizabeth Gaskell definitely read this

Is this?? My favorite book???

Whoops

”Where there’s life, there’s hope” is having a double appearance in both this and Queen of Attolia right now

”May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks”

That’s from The Hobbit??? My Star Wars nerd self had NO memory of where that was originally from

Listening to the Andy Serkis narration is crazy because he does such an amazing variety of voices and narrator inflection that you forget who it is and then you get to Chapter 5 and it’s Gollum at 1000% in all his disgusting, pathetic glory.
