Discussion Time! Chapters 16-18

Posted in Self-Raised by E.D.E.N Southworth

So you know your preoccupied when you start writing the entry for Chapters 26-28 and get almost finished and realize you are on the *wrong* chapters!! LOL

Well here we go...

This whole initial conversation between Claudia and Vincent is so amazing, isn't it? If you were Claudia, would it not be SO hard to keep your mouth shut?! I mean the things that would have been going through my mind!! He actually insists she go *out* with Mrs. Dugald. It is hard to comprehend, isn't it? He is *some* kind of man. Yikes.

What has happened to poor Katie? She heard all the plans against Claudia and waited and urged herself upon Claudia to tell her, but Claudia was distracted and did not wait to hear her. To what end?

We find out that end in the next chapter, don't we! Where in the world to begin with this chapter? I don't even know what to write! LOL It is too much to believe, but perhaps at that time it would have been? What do you all think of it? I feel terribly for Claudia though - I mean what can she be thinking? The shame and calumny upon her name is just huge for she who holds so much by reputation and title!!

What sayest the readership?


So I am kind of wondering if I am the only one still reading. :+) It is OK if I am, but it would be good to know. :+) I know I have not been the best leader here as my life has just been so busy. That is not so good for an online book discussion group! I do apologize. If you still want to keep reading, please do let me know. The next group of chapters to read are: 19-21.

I read ahead a long time back, and now I need to review these chapters before I can comment. LOL

Wednesday, October 17, 2007 - hints for bookclub

Posted by Anonymous

I was very excited about this bookclub idea, like-minded mothers, no nasty novels...I think you are going way to slow. I read both books before you were finished with the first. Yes, I too am busy, lots of kids to teach, clothes to fold, etc. but I do make a little time to read! So my idea is that for some to make it a read-aloud, while others (like me) are just keeping it all to ourselves, doesn't mesh. Maybe a great part of the readership has finished. I have probably read 12 books since I finished this wonderful duo. Just an idea.

Thursday, October 18, 2007 - I agree...

Posted by thisworldisnotmyhome

I agree with anonymous...having people reading aloud and people reading to themselves don't mesh-although both are valid ways to read :) I have fallen behind because of pregnancy, but I know before I was reading more than was assigned, and was afraid to post because I didn't want to accidentally give something away. For me, reading to myself, about a month, month-and-a-half is quite long enough to read a book. I hope this doesn't end...perhaps those of us who blog can also put up a post or two about the HSLB to attract others? It is such a great idea!
