Book: The Wisteria Society Of Lady Scoundrels
Check-ins/Updates:
Before I begin:
So she’s a thief, he’s an assassin meant to kill her 🤔 I’m intrigued
Heard of this book on booktube 😉😁
Monday: Chapters 1 – 5
From my understanding, Cecilia is an orphaned ward of her aunt (Mrs. Darlington). She is a young member of The Wisteria Society Of Lady Scoundrels. Cecilia has a hit on her life 😱, Eduardo Luca/Ned/Captain Lightbourne is a hired assassin assigned to Cecilia’s case. Another aspect is houses being taken 🤔 Cecilia thinking of finding her father 🧐 Excited 😆 to learn more 😊
- Peter pan reference 🤔 I love how the group always point them out 🙌🏼 Reading via audio again 🙋♀️ Who called the hit? Lady A… 😂 Thanks for pointing out the houses were flying! 😂 Reminds me of that anime Kiki and Up 💡 Book club turned pirates 🏴☠️ 😂
- Get the Mary Poppin reference. 💡 Take notes 📝 for every book or else I forget 😂😇 thought 💭 I was imagining ned playing both sides
- A queen in danger almost as good as a kidnapping 🤣 Live by my notes 📝😇 Interested to learn more about her dad 🤔 🧐 Captain Charming Ned Lightborne 🤣
- Grateful the group points things out 😊 Confused most of the time 🤣😵💫
Tuesday: Chapters 6 – 10
Cecilia’s father becomes a bigger part of the plot 🤔 Ned admits to working both sides 😏 The house 🏡 with the Wisteria Society meeting is stolen 😱 More time with Med and Cecelia on page 🤔 Still nothing but banter and flirting, but end the section at an inn (in one room 😏)
- Fever dream 👌🏼 Great way to describe it 👍🏽
- 🙌🏽 record breaking kidnapping! 😂 Road trip in the sky 🤣 I think we’ll get more romance 😏
Wednesday: Chapters 11 – 15
This story is confusing 😵💫 not sure I enjoy it amidst all my confusion 🤷🏽♀️ From what I gather: 1) Cecilia is Ned’s target 🎯 2) flying houses 🏡 & stealing houses 🏡 3) Cecilia’s father 🧐 So from 1, we know Ned is the H and Cecilia is the h. We just meet Frederick, Cecilia’s cousin and fiancee 😮 😱 From 2, the house the Wisteria Society met in was stolen 😱 Cecilia wants to get them back 🧐 And 3, Cecilia’s father is responsible for 1) Ned working as a double agent and 2) Cecilia’s kidnapping 😱 Anything else?! Hate to over simplify, just trying to understand
- Not familiar with the princess bride 👸 i agree 😌 definitely rereadable.
Thursday: Chapters 16 – 20
This section was easier to understand. Correct me if I’m wrong 🙏🏾 We learn Patrick is 🤬 about not being in the society, Ned has ties to Sila (question 🙋♀️ Spelling?) Can visualize the flying houses better (chase 🙌🏼), resulting in Patrick’s death ☠️ Another “danger” bang but is it?! Things are resolving 🤔
- I’m also looking forward to listening to the FM episode! 🙌🏼 Love listening to the podcast episode after I’ve consumed the media! Whether it’s book, show, or movie 🍿 🙌🏼
Friday: Chapters 21 – 26
Last section 🎉 This book was bonkers and had multiple wheels 🛞 spinning throughout 🤔 My overall rating might reflect that (as I wasn’t in the mind space to FULLY enjoy the story). Liked Cecilia, especially as a strong woman ✊🏽
- Got the 🎁 house but missed the library 📚 😇 Chaotic live for a chaotic book 🤣
Summary: 🤷🏽♀️ this story was 🫣🤐
