Done before but it’s fun. So guess the book and the mil

[Seasawride]

Help! I have one dd. My mil has lived with us since we have been married.

She is a very strong woman and overruled me on everything. She sends me to bed if I sneeze.

When dd was 2 dh pissed off capturing butterflies in Africa and I havnt heard off him for years. Bastard. So mil got friendly with a wierd lady next door. She has big hair coils round her ears, writes books and has lots of kids.

I am concerned she is also involved in modern slavery as she has a woman living with her called Anna who does everything.

Anyway mil and this wierd Jo woman have colluded to send dd to a boarding school.

Aibu to just want to move away with dd. Start again and have some fun?

Guess the book and keep going.

TokenBrit - Zeus and siblings Hestia etc?

I think that might be Murder on the Orient Express making its third appearance on the thread.

Donkey mine is the first of a series if that helps? And it's not huge as some are. I was trying to make it tricky as so many of you are amazing at this!

Lance Lottie, no but on the right sort of track (kind of).

Until you said that about the series, MipMipMip, I was going to guess The Scarlet Letter, another one I've not read.

Norse gods?

No, but the author writes about those as well.

I know I'm good at my job but I haven't got any friends and spend my weekends alone. TBH I've got a bit of an alcohol problem but it's all under control. There's a weird guy at work who seems to want to be friendly with me but I'm not sure. I've got a few unresolved issues with DM. WWYD?

Youre right Gaspode but 3rd 😱OMG the shame of it... I must have been scrolling through faster than I should have done the Go-between instead bcos I love that book.

Eleanor Oliphant! Literally just read it.

*faster than I thought

My daughter was evacuated to America for the duration of the war she has returned quite wilful and with a dreadful accent

MIL thinks we should send her to board and that should strip her of the dreadful Americanness, DH and I agree

Am I being too harsh?

Oh! Of course! Is that it, 5LeafClover?

5LeafClover, no need to apologise, this thread has grown huge!

MrStark, that seems familiar but as ever I can't place it.

Another one: I am a hugely talented scientist. I have discovered the secret of imparting life to non-living matter. Should I use this to create a new lifeform? What could possibly go wrong?

Eleanor Oliphant! Literally just read it. Great book!

Sorry slow typing as ever!

I tried to read the Scarlet Letter Gaspode. Couldn't get through it. There's an Emma Stone loosely based on it that's fun though.

Another I couldn't get through:

I like to write in interminable detail about every day things. I'm thinking about going out on a boat. I believe one has a crew member likely to develop a fondness for coffee.

Hello, Frankenstein!

Frankenstein! I got one!

TokenBrit, I've not read these, but going just by the name - Percy Jackson?

But not first. Bugger.

Gasp0de Frankenstein?

A draw, Mip!

No, again on the right lines though.

Me and my siblings actually predate the gods by several millennia...

MrStark - Back Home (Michelle Magorian)?
