13?! this book is so long omg.

i’ll be honest i’m losing the thread.

tulkinghorn did all that just to not know what to do with his info??

also i may be dumb but i have NO idea what happened with krook and the letters

and mme hortense is back i guess… is she gonna cause a problem later?

ugh im exhausted

12!

have i mentioned that guppy is so mid??

also im on the edge of my seat about what’s going on in lady dedlocks past

and we gotta keep richard on a LEASH

11, and i’ll be brief:

In: Jarndyce, Mr. Boythorn, Charley (this is my holy trinity)

Out: Ada (she didn’t do anything i’m just annoyed), Mr. Smallweed, Guppy

10 (more spoilers)

be so fr dickens… spontaneous combustion?! i’m not even gonna touch that.

also is esther’s blindness a permanent thing?? that would actually be crazyyy

and her relationship with ada needs to be examined

In: charley, jenny/liz, jarndyce, jo

Out: guppy, krook, skimpole

9! (w/ spoilers)

guppy was not the person i’d expect to be dropping these bombshells … and he’s kind of giving stalker ngl.

lowk i kinda called the parent situation but i hadn’t guessed that lady dedlock didn’t know about esther??? i had assumed she abandoned her so i have no clue what will happen next

8! let’s see…

mrs. snagsby is losing it
richard still needs to LOCK IN jarndyce was right
not sure how involved the french maid is but wouldn’t be surprised if she’s got secrets

IN: charley, jo, jarndyce, george
OUT: mrs. snagsby, guppy, mr. bucket

seventh serial update and i’m tired of meeting new people. surely this novel has enough characters by now?

so there’s mr. jobling, who i assume will become some sort of spy now that he’s under krook’s (nemo’s) roof

smallweed, who is FIFTEEN and whose family sucks

mr. george? and a mysterious captain who is absolutely someone we’ve already met i guarantee it

and mr. bucket ofc. geez

love the bit with the cushions

dearest gentle reader,

mr chadband pmo.

also am i to believe that mrs. chadband was ms. rachael from before??? or did i make that up.

blessings to caddy and her man

lady dedlock ur kind of a freak ngl

richard needs to LOCK IN

i’ve honestly lost the plot who knows what’s gonna happen next

fifth serial update:

alright NOW this is feeling like a dickens novel.

i am devastated for the debt collector’s kids and i lowkey hope mr. jarndyce sets them up for life.

also loving that jo is back, i didn’t rlly think we’d see him again but i want the best for him truly.

lady dedlock is giving major lady audley vibes… def killed someone imo

fourth serial update:

cliffhanger?? also esther why did u hold out on us like that.

also esther & co. is feeling heavily throuple

predictions?

no idea what’s up with nemo anymore. did lady dedlock kill him or something?? are they siblings? exes?

and mr detective is sketch too ngl

i have no clue tbh
