Text on a kindle screen with text highlighted: "The author thinks he ought not to prescribe to the taste of others, but imagined himself at liberty to follow his own."
Highlighted text on a kindle screen that reads: "it will moreover, be remembered, that the author, at his first setting out, apprized the reader, that the story (interesting as it is generally allowed to be) was to be principally looked upon as the vehicle to the instruction."
Samuel Richardson: "To All My Haters: You're Wrong and Here's Why [1/2000]"
And with that, I have officially finished my yearlong read of #Clarissa2025. I don't know how many of you made it with me, but 🎉✉️🎉✉️🎉

After a short break, a new #Clarissa2025 letter today, where Anna is RIDE OR DIE for our gal.
It's basically: "In case the other letters do not convey it, I LOVE HER, SHE IS PERFECT, and her siblings can only WISH to be a fraction as good."
Get you a hypewoman like Miss Anna Howe. ✉️

I am a little behind on my #Clarissa2025 reading because I've had 2 library books due at once, and I was finishing a different book while recently in Maine. Reader problems.

Folks who are curious about the #Clarissa2025 group read, please be advised that Lovelace continues to be an absolute trip. He wants to remove Clary's heart from her body & carry it around with him in a golden receptacle. He also wrote poetry in which he refers to her lips as "those spicy doors" ✉️

In today's #Clarissa2025 reading, Lovelace experiences an unfamiliar emotion: guilt ?!
Mr. Brand comes in competing with him and Clarissa's brother for worst man in the book. ✉️

For anyone who is curious about updates in the #Clarissa2025 real-time readalong, Clarissa died today. RIP. I do not consider this a spoiler because she has been slowly dying for hundreds of pages. It was starting to feel like a darker version of 'when will she leave her parents' house?'. ✉️

I’m doing my #Clarissa2025 reading in between watching tennis points and #Clarissa bringing in her future coffin to show to her friends is an intense literary emo/goth girl move. ✉️

Clarissa: "If I don't DIE from all of you first, then I'll make your hateful servant come with me."
Her sister: "She called you a slut, btw. It was her. Not me."
Clarissa: "ALL THE BETTER FOR HER TO BE FORCED TO DEAL WITH MY CORPSE, BITCH."

Anyone who ever meets Clarissa: "An angel! A golden light! Never a more perfect girl!"
Her family: "Ugh, why don't you go to PENNSYLVANIA until everyone forgets about your STUPID FACE." ✉️

Mrs. Norton dragging this Mr. Brand is very funny. Also, I appreciate a character in this book saying about someone else, "I don't like him and here's why," rather than be falsely polite. #Clarissa2025 ✉️

Screenshot of highlighted text on a kindle screen, reading: This makes us insufferable to men of modesty and merit, and obliges us to herd with those of our own cast, and by this means we have no opportunities of seeing or conversing with anybody who could or would show us what we are; and so we conclude that we are the cleverest fellows in the world, and the only men of spirit in it; and looking down with supercilious eyes on all who gave not themselves the liberties we take, imagine the world made for us, and for us only.
Samuel Richardson published this in 1748, and yet... #SundaySentence #Clarissa2025 ✉️

Belford, driven to the LORD by Lovelace's vileness. He is the Ma$e of this whole situation. 😬 ✉️ #Clarissa2025

Since this giant-ass novel came out ~50 years before Ann Lister was born, I like to think that she later picked it up, saw Clarissa & Anna declaring their love for one another, and said, "Ladies, there is another way!" (Also so many Ann[e]s and Annas at this time!) #Clarissa2025 ✉️

Have passed the 2/3rds mark (over 1000 pages!) in #Clarissa2025, and things are currently less dire for our gal, but only for now, I'm sure. ✉️

#Clarissa2025 was a slog of awfulness (plotwise) for much of June, but at least July's letters so far have been from people other than Lovelace. Mrs. Norton is one of the few reasonable characters. ✉️

I was wondering if #Clarissa2025 ✉️ overlapped with the advent of the hot air balloon, imagining some ridiculous eacape storyline, but no. We are too early by about 40 years.

✉️ 256. If I make it to 260 today, I'll finally be caught up.
Is it worth it, you might wonder. Your answer to this depends on how fun you find it to try things just to see if you can do them. #Clarissa2025
