I spent the whole afternoon of this dull, gloomy, overcast, colder, day reading ‘The Brontës’. So immense is this tightly packed academic tome that after 260 pages I am not much more than a quarter of the way through.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s deliciously warming chicken and vegetable stewp.
It seems that we shall have to develop patience for quite a bit until we see your review of this book, Derrick.
Thank you so much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
Their lives fascinate me, especially given the brilliance of both sisters writing. I did get to visit their homestead when I was in England
Thank you very much, Julie
A delicious dinner! And, a good day to stay indoors with a good book too, Derrick. 😊
It sounds like a good day to stay in. I admire your dedication.
Thank you so much, Merril
What better thing to do on a cold day than to read a book, with a blanket of course. It sounds like Jackie made another delicious meal!
Thank you very much, Diane. Yes, with a blanket
Sounds like the perfect way to spend such a day. My Sunday, Monday and Tuesday maybe spent in similar scenario. We will be below freezing for at least 96 hours.
We won’t get below freezing but the days will be dull and gloomy. Thanks very much, Pat
A great day to read and rest and eat warming chicken and veggie stewp!
Will you give us a review when you finish this long tome-y book? I hope so! 🙂 If I remember it has to be over 1,000 pages…and probably weighs a lot! HA!
In my lifetime, I’ve enjoyed so many of the Brontë sisters books and the books about them!
Stay warm and safe! (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Carolyn. I will review it. XX
Hope tomorrow the weather is nicer.
Thanks very much, Andy. We have a few more days of this
Hope you come through it well.
Sounds like perfect weather for reading 🙂
Thanks very much, Rosaliene. We have a few more days of it
I thought the reading was taking longer than your usual. It’s a wonder the spine is holding up to all those pages!
Thanks very much, Gwen. It is very well bound for a paperback
Love the Brontes.
Sounds like the book I read about the Brontës – a lot to write about. Like why we have to faff about with Alt + 0235 for the ë, when the father’s real name was Brunty.. 🙂
Thanks very much, Qiuercus
I always thought Patrick was the most interesting of the family, despite all the attention paid to the kids.
That sounds like an afternoon well spent.
Thank you very much, Sue
I remembering reading Wuthering Heights in school. I enjoyed it. I look forward to your review of ‘The Brontës’ when you are done.
Thank you very much, Lavinia
That sounds like a wonderful book I would love reading
Thank you very much, Gary
Hi, Derrick – That sounds like a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
Thank you very much, Donna
That’s a big book. I will wait for your review and then I will decide 😁
Patience, Derrick!
Great company given the weather conditions
Sounds like is not an easy read!
You are right, Riba. There is so much packed into it. Thank you very much
