Sorry again for the proliferation of emoji. It's only so these make it to the feeds. Not everyone subbed to the general list.

Fellow readers, do we have another read-along scheduled? I know some are reading Clarissa ✉️ and DQ 🫏 like I am. I'm wondering if I missed a post. Some of us just finished Call Me Ishamelle 🦑. 🪛💐 🍠 🐋📖🚣♂️🚣♀️ 🚀🌈 🔩🛖 I apologize for the nightmare of emoji. Trying to hit all the lists. I missed a couple.

I'm watching CCF tonight, and I'd forgotten that Miriam Margoyles plays Mrs. Beetle--amazing casting. 🪵

I definitely like Flora better, having seen the Cold Comfort Farm movie! 🪵 It was pretty charming 😁
My husband fell asleep in the middle, but it still did get some laughs from him at points

Noting a similarity btw Cold Comfort Farm and Don Quixote, which are both using florid language and traditional forms and genres to mock and subvert same. Always here for mocking stuffy & self-important traditions. 🪵 🫏

Chiming in that the movie version (with Kate Beckinsale and Ian McKellan) is delightful! Saw it last night and did a lot of cackling. Very faithful to the books, tho they did skip Claude entirely and sort of blur over Judith’s depression and psychiatric treatment. 🪵

I just finished and want to tell the dead feed it was delightful, enough that I’d read the books it was parodying 🪵

had always assumed these types first emerged in the 50s, if this was a century ago, how far back does twee devotion to St Francis go? 🪵

Absolutely comforting, and thank you so much for organizing it! I would not have read this otherwise, and thanks for that, too. 🪵

Thank you for organizing! What a perfect read for this chaotic world. I've been reading it with my breakfast instead of the news I think I may be slightly saner for it. This book had so many layers - sweet, funny, rude, at times yikes, and surprisingly progressive! To think I almost didn't read it 🪵

I'm enough of a troll that I loved the active refusal to explain either of the big mysteries. Absolutely something I would do if I wrote a book like this.🪵

Thanks so much to everyone who joined in on reading Cold Comfort Farm! Hopefully it brought some real comfort, or at least distraction.
Next month we have Pale Fire! I pinned the sign-up post to the top of the #bsbookclub feed.
In the meantime, let's think about what we're reading after that! 🪵📖

Since there was some discussion of upcoming #bsbookclub 📖 readings this morning, I thought I'd announce the upcoming March read of Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire. Hashtags are #SpringtimeInZembla, #PaleFire, and 🦋.

@renboyle.bsky.social - This book was so completely unexpected and took my mind off of seeing something nasty in the woodshed. I hadn't even heard of the writer or the book - such a great pick!
I didn't post as much as I had hoped but it helped to know we were all reading together! Thank you! 🪵

Thanks for organizing 🪵 @renboyle.bsky.social
I really enjoyed reading Cold Comfort Farm, and I don’t think it would ever have crossed my radar if it weren’t for the book club.

Finished the book today and I'm glad I read it. I had no real idea what it was about going in. The cows especially amused me. 🪵

While I understand they don't really matter, I really wish we knew
1. The wrong done to Robert Poste
2. Flora's rights
3. What happened in the woodshed?
4. What happened to Speed Cop the First? 🪵
