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.

Yes! Finding yours quite hard, every time I think I recognise it I'm wrong.

I'm not getting Drowsy's or Nancy's. Clues?

Aibu to think husband shouldn’t have take this job? We have moved to a remote area to renovate a hotel, but dh seems to be getting increasingly angry and frustrated. The kids are acting weird too - it’s nuat a creepy atmosphere- should I ltb?

Another The Shining?

Gaspode keep trying to work out 'bird' reference. Could only think of 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' but have never read it.

It’s the light years. First of the Cazalet books. Wasn’t totally happy with the clue though. Spent ages re writing it.

My parents rented this old castle years ago, well my dad did anyway and Mum just went along with it. (Dad went a bit funny after being in prison) Then Mum got sick and died and dad lost his writing mojo. My sister just sits and writes in her bloody journal all day! WIBU to try and get the dishy American bloke who is our landlord to fall for me? Think my dad fancies his mum, at least my ditzy stepmum is worried she does.

I capture the castle!

MIL theme seems to have gone so:

I'm a former sex worker AMA

I'm retired now and married to a rich old flame but still happy to talk about my old life.

Drowsy - yes! Dammit, did I make it too easy?

Drowsy I've read that too! Still can't work out the one about birds.

Nope lady. Just love that book.

Dottie I am sure that could be loads of books but i’m Going to guess Fanny Hill?

Trying to think of another good one. Been reading too much historical fiction recently.

Yes!

I think my sister was attacked by our housekeeper’s son. WIBU to lie and frame him for rape?

ATONEMENT!

Yep! Would never have thought that one would be quite so succinct.

Still baffled by Nancy's clue. I can only think of Of Mice and Men but it's not that.

I’m married to a hospital architect, the absolute love of my life, although my best friend, who is French, thinks he’s boring. I could listen to him for hours and hours, he’s so sophisticated and world weary (infatuated sigh!).
He agreed to marry me, but I had to insist on a ring because he thinks they’re “bourgeois” so we compromised on a second hand one.
I’m just not keen on my new MIL. She’s like a Horse and Hounds version of him and is obviously under no illusion that she’s acquiring a new daughter
It sort of spoils the romance a bit.

WIBU to abandon my spring cleaning and go off with my new friend to mess about in boats? He says there's nothing so much worth doing. He also says he'll introduce me to some of his other friends, who sound like great characters. One of them apparently always has some short-lived fad on the go, but there's no harm in him. The other one lives on the edge of a rather dodgy area and can be a bit blunt, but his heart is in the right place. Strongly tempted ...

Wind in the willows! Can’t get Tanith’s though.

Yes!

Neither can I.

I was off to Paris with a letter from my dad looking for a job with his old friend. Half way there I got distracted by a well fit bird and got into a fight with a guy who mocked my horse. I lost my letter during the fight. Now i’m In Paris, no job because I lost the letter, no money, I have to fight three more blokes I offended and I fancy my landlord’s wife.

The Three Musketeers!
