“My heart constricted then expanded in an absurd manner. Irrational, perhaps, to feel such conviction that they are mine and I theirs.”

insert the absolute cinema picture here. that’s my reaction. please leave everyone, i want to be alone. these four characters are mine and mine alone, thank you.

the book of hawkes? give me ten.

“All related thoughts end with the realisation that a good deal of life is watching those we love consider the stupidest of possibilities.”

so true, dearest emma, so true…

so many questions, very few answers

hawkes you keep surprising me beyond my wildest dreams

mentioning my favorite book of all time?? north and south i love u so much

i’m having a great time rereading this book! a bit corny but hey, not everyone’s jane austen!!

“IT SEEMED APPROPRIATE, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES.” OH STOP THISSSS

i can’t, in good conscience, read this book as quickly as i read its predecessors. bc then it’s time for volume 8, and then what??

re-reading so i can picture the movie cast as adam olive (both are excellent choices btw i can’t wait for the movie)

islington writing about emma’s bday present and pierce and hawkes going to shops together oh my nono what in the found family trope is this this is delightful im weeping

“You need another chair. Here, by the fireplace.”
“Why is that?”
Hawkes waited a moment, as if an obvious thing was before me. When I said nothing, he tilted his head ever so slightly. “Islington, Pierce, Hawkes, and Lion.”

no one talk to me. absolutely NO ONE!!!!!

go mary go!!!

ALCHEMY OOOOOOHHH STFU

emma, pierce, and islington my favorite trio iktr 🙂‍↕️

islington and emma besties was in my bingo card from their first interaction 🫡

emma literally said “off with you, july.”

a very interesting premise, i must say.

and now, the ultimate lover boy

“I wanted to see the place where Margaret grew to what she is, even at the worst time of all, when I had no hope of ever calling her mine.”

don’t talk to me.

“Come! poor little heart! be cheery and brave. We'll be a great deal to one another, if we are thrown off and left desolate.”

Margaret saying this after Thornton said (very pathetically) that “he’s no longer interested in her” when mind you he rambled on about the way she walked three paragraphs prior. Pathetic!! I love them!!

“He never looked at her; and yet, the careful avoidance of his eyes betokened that in some way he knew exactly where, if they fell by chance, they would rest on her.”

this book is pretty much 30% socialism, 20% death, and 50% thornton yearning for margaret. this is how i like my books, indeed!

“…to one whom I love, as I do not believe man ever loved woman before.”

picture me raising my hands the martin scorsese way.

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

and you want me to be normal about them???

listening to the audiobook while reading the book is the best idea i ever had

[Her father was]… “uneasy at the thought that they were detaining Mr Thornton against his will, which was a mistake; for he rather liked it, as long as Margaret would talk, although what she said only irritated him.”

nah loserism at its best. 🙂‍↕️
