He should have, though.
This.
THIS! Thanks Mary Anne.
Loving Mary “Lousie”
Thank you.
Oh my, thank you. This is much neater than my version. (Side note: sprinted through “Pink” and now have to wait a month for “Vermillion.” I didn’t realize this was what my summer needed.)
Yeah. My list is messy too. Jenny’s list is much appreciated. And I’m also having a leisurely read— absolutely revelling in the language and characters. Bliss…
I’m sure Tolkien did, so you are in good company.
Isn’t Faye a Pitts? Was she born Blue (that didn’t cpme out right) or is she Mary Louise’s sister? Do we know Mary Beth and ML’s maiden name? I haven’t read Rest in Pink yet so perhaps these are clarified there. That said, I don’t really need clarification of these to enjoy the book – I’d only fixate on it if you put the chart online with the book.
Great work by the way – does this officially make you a genealogist?
Faye is a Pitts. I’ll change it on the original chart.
I don’t think we’ve given ML and MB maiden names yet. Let’s go with Berry.
Like… Blue Berry? I like it LOL
Have already dug in and loving it so far. But a question? I don’t remember ML trying to kill George. Vince is talking about ML pleading attempted murder “for trying to kill you and Liz.” What did I miss?
Huh. That might be a vestigial tail. I wrote one ending and Bob changed it. In my ending, she tried to get them both.
Bob?
Wishing for maiden names. Being picky.
Berry. Mary Louise Berry and Mary Beth Berry.
Do they have an accent where Mary and Berry rhyme? If so, that was cruel.
Of their parents, I add.
I think Grandma Berry was awful; that would explain why ML was such a horror and MB was such a mess.
Makes me think they must be good cooks (Mary Berry: judge on Bake Off).
I thought of that later. No. They’re terrible cooks.
I love Bake Off!
Dickens did not but Amy Tan did. It’s so fun to get to know these new characters!
Loved the zombie namecheck! <3 Noticed that Mickey was referred to as Micket once in the ebook. I can give you the specific sentence if you want it?
Bob took care of it. Thank you!
Does a tshirt with “I Am Awesome, Bask in My Glory” actually exist? Because I may need it.
