Finally diving into this big tome, we’ll see how it goes!

Like Selin, I, too, have size 11 1/2 feet, a size which exists in nature but not in the fashion world, practically speaking.

This feels cosmic.

Finding this dull, but somehow compelling…

Moral of Emma so far: Don’t get high on your own supply

More War, currently…

Nikolai: still a tosser

Sonia: still painfully self-sacrificing

Natasha: still a hopeless romantic

Tolstoy: busting out the philosophy more than ever

Nikolai: Still a bit of a tosser

Sonia: Still hopelessly self-sacrificing

Natasha: still a hopeless romantic

Tolstoy : beginning to really wax philosophical

Tolstoy really does like to write about women’s mustaches, doesn’t he

Ok, so far this seems like Jerry Springer On the Moors, and I suspect it's only downhill from here....to keep reading or not, dear reades?

Wow Sinjin AKA "St John" is a nasty, fundie piece of work.

“God and nature intended you for a missionary's wife. It is not personal but mental endowments they have given you; you are formed for labor, not love. A missionary's wife you must—shall be. You shall be mine; I claim you—not for my pleasure, but for my Sovereign's service.”

This book is growing on me, but good Lord, Lizzie B is a saint for getting through this all without throttling any of her family members (and I can only dream of AU's where she challenges Wickham to a duel and settles things once and for all.)

Ok, banter is all very well, but would you two get together already? 'Fraid I'm just not much of an empire waist and rom com kinda gal

Tearing through this book - and damn, is it good!

Finally reading this. Not sure what I think. (Hadn't realized the horror angle was so strong!)

"I wanted to know how it was going to turn out, like flipping ahead in a book. I didn't even know what kind of story it was, or what kind of role I was supposed to be playing."

This is both a very Sasha book and....not. Quirky alienated intellectual female protagonist who wants to Understand the World? I'm there. But....what if there's nothing there to understand (??): the central dilemma of the book.
