My late-ass Woman in White starting post

The Woman in White book cover, Wilkie Colins

The copy of The Woman in White that I'm reading.

So, apparently I was supposed to do this on Monday but I was busy being all sick & working extra hours, so I kinda missed it.

So, Alice wants us to say basically our thoughts concerning Mr. Wilkie Collins, his huge forehead, & The Woman in White.

I gots none.

Basically, I’m going into this blind. Wilkie (sounds like such a perverted name, btw, I don’t know why) is a new author to me, so I have nothing to judge him by yet. I know nothing about The Woman in White. I thought it was about ghosts, but Alice quickly put those rumors to rest. I THINK it’s a mystery of some sort?

Also, yes, Wilkie Collins has quite a huge forehead. I don’t have a picture to show you at the moment, but just google the man. You could use it as a billboard. Poor guy.

So, I’m quite looking forward to starting The Woman in White, if for no other reason than it’s hosted by Alice and her last readalong was ohsomuchfun and I bet this one is gonna be too. Plus, this is a classic and I almost always hear that people like it.

Now, I better get started, because I have to read 122 pages to write about on Monday. THAT IS ONLY LIKE 3 DAYS. And one of those days is Easter and I’ll be stuffing my face with family so it’s really like 2 days. Sheesh.
