Thanks @Stormweald for the title! Does someone want to do a recap?
Typical of Ruby to call out a long dead author who’s renowned for her cultural impact for not following letter writing rules Genuinely think that’s how I would sum her up to someone who’s never heard of herI thought it was interesting to compare Ruby and Blakeney's views on the same book. Blakeney sounds fun and like she actually enjoyed and understood the book. Ruby, on the other hand..her review just sound so try-hard, like she's trying to write a personal statement.
nooo how is Ruby talking about contemporary letter writing etiquette rules? She’s so twee.I thought it was interesting to compare Ruby and Blakeney's views on the same book. Blakeney sounds fun and like she actually enjoyed and understood the book. Ruby, on the other hand..her review just sound so try-hard, like she's trying to write a personal statement.
maybe I misunderstood the letter writing partTypical of Ruby to call out a long dead author who’s renowned for her cultural impact for not following letter writing rules Genuinely think that’s how I would sum her up to someone who’s never heard of her
Like the others mentioned, Ruby's sounds like she's desperately trying to reply to hometask prompts by using the vocabulary from the prompts, because she doesn't really understand the terms OR the book. Maybe hasn't read it at all.I thought it was interesting to compare Ruby and Blakeney's views on the same book. Blakeney sounds fun and like she actually enjoyed and understood the book.

Yeah like, I'm just gonna criticize every single epistolary novel I read from now on because they didn't include a page with the stamp and the address for each letter lmaoTypical of Ruby to call out a long dead author who’s renowned for her cultural impact for not following letter writing rules Genuinely think that’s how I would sum her up to someone who’s never heard of her
Yeah, like sometimes the whole POINT of literature is not following society's rules, to let people now how you want the world to move forward and all that. A safe place to express opinions that otherwise weren't tolerated. Of course that goes over Ruby's head as well.Yeah like, I'm just gonna criticize every single epistolary novel I read from now on because they didn't include a page with the stamp and the address for each letter lmao
Like it's literature, it doesn't need to follow real-world rules.
She did say she was going to be staying for a month and only ended up staying two weeks, so either she’s as bad at ’rithmetic as she is at the other two R’s, or something came up and she ended her stay sooner than she had meant to. Of course packing up the house was part of the reason, I don’t think anyone doubted that.My crystal ball worked again i said she had only gone back to pack up the house
