KAO I kept having to reread sentences, as my mind wandered pitifully during this short chapter. Thank goodness this didn‘t go on longer! I liked the last bit, however, about how the spiritual seed of wisdom didn‘t find fertile ground (or “hooks”) in Mr. Tulliver and simply blew away without taking hold. More foreshadowing, I presume! 2d

Bookwormjillk I know I read this chapter but I don‘t remember a bit. #MovingOn 2d

dabbe This novel takes a Gothic turn when #tetchytully states that the river gets angry when the mill changes hands, and “there's no telling whether there mayn't be summat in the story, for this is a puzzling world, and Old Harry's the devil got a finger in it.“

Clare-Dragonfly They are all so mean! I wish it had occurred to Tom to mention that he‘s good at drawing, especially things like buildings. I bet that could get him a good start. 7d

Leftcoastzen Much better to have less family than a family like this ! Poor Tom trying to do what he can while listening to Uncle belittling his education. 7d

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - I felt the same way! I get that you don't want to hand a pile of money to people who have proven that they aren't going to use it wisely, but Tom is genuinely trying to make good and start providing for his mom and sister, and I thought it was dreadful the way his uncle just blew him off. 6d

ElizaMarie This chapter felt very current to me. It's like kiddos get an education and then can't get a job with their education. I know it's not the same, but it got me thinking about how some college courses/majors do not translate to the working world. I feel so bad for Tom - also this #TheirFamilySucks ! 6d

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
@Read4Life Thanks for the tag -

1. I keep $20 in my car at all times. Mostly for gas, but lately, it's for ice cream money (there is a seasonal shop opened now that only takes cash).

2. I would say the family is kinda wealthy, and are not about sharing the wealth, but holding it over others. The MC family is poor poor dirt poor and now they are facing their downfall.

#WhereAreYouMonday

Apparently based on Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, I am still with Maggie Tulliver and co. in the mid 19th century reading for #HashtagBrigade . The “real river” is the Trent and it is quite imposing looking. “Floss” sounds so sweet and gentle. But the Trent is known for its dramatic flooding that can even change the course of the river.

KAO While reading this chapter, I felt a bizarre reminder of the rich patriarch of the family visiting the White Lotus resort in the latest season of this show—about how he received news that his fortune had been lost and he didn‘t want to tell his privileged family and about how tortured he was by the sheer anticipation of financial ruin… Yes, I confess having watched the whole series! 2w

BarkingMadRead @kao I just started season 1, I can‘t wait to watch all the seasons! 2w

KAO @BarkingMadRead The show is SO bizarre, but I couldn‘t resist some unique storytelling! 2w

mcctrish Truthfully I can‘t even remember what the suit was for but the fact #tetchytully owed money to so many people I‘m not sure how his plan was ever going to be more than a dream. I haven‘t watched this season of WL yet, it‘s such a bonkers show ❤️❤️❤️ 2w

ElizaMarie Oooo White Lotus! So messed up! It‘s this slow burn to chaos! “Pipper Noooo!!!” 2w

julieclair #tetchytully ‘s “always going to law” and robbing Peter to pay Paul is catching up with him big time. 2w

Clare-Dragonfly It‘s sad and all but I found it hilarious how #tetchytully hates Wakem so much that he had a (possibly literal) stroke on learning that he owes him money! (edited) 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I hope they become friends and Philip helps Tom with his Latin and drawing! I like Philip, but that‘s probably because I was a shy, bookish kid like him… and because him having a hunch due to a childhood accident makes me think of Mr Benson, the minister from

BarkingMadRead #tetchytully gets my vote 🤣 @dabbe 2w

Bookwormjillk @dabbe #tetchytully because it makes me think of the Teletubbies which adds something to the book 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I think it's more fun-sounding out loud, too! 🤣 It could even sound like #touchytully! 2w

ElizaMarie Oooo love this @dabbe 2w

dabbe @ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish #tetchytully it is! 🤣🤣🤣 2w

Leftcoastzen I just feel Tully is always upset because he‘s not rich , he has just enough money to worry about it . Diverting water from the mill threatens his livelihood. He doesn‘t have enough money to be connected as to advice, is this a good educator? Is this a good lawyer. 2w

KAO Whew. That chapter was rather long and somewhat tedious (though I liked the bit of life reflection in the last lines). Maybe the feeling that this chapter would never end parallels Tom‘s feeling about this long and tedious academic term. 3w

TheAromaofBooks I actually found myself liking Tom for the first time in this chapter. 3w

Bookwormjillk I‘ll admit it. It‘s Monday. I skimmed. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m glad Maggie didn‘t get any deeper into trying to teach them than she did, or they might have gotten upset! As it is they were kind people. 3w

julieclair @mcctrish Agreed. She learned a bit about the world. And thankfully made it home safe and sound! 3w

Bookwormjillk I had to laugh at the idea of Maggie just running into her Dad. That must have been a shock. 3w

ElizaMarie I love the fact that she really thought she would be fit to be Queen of the Gypsies 3w

Morr_Books @ElizaMarie 🤣 Don't know that the thimble was enough to buy her that role. 3w

TheAromaofBooks This is actually interesting to read after Lark Rise to Candleford. I feel like a lot of the things we read about in that book as generalities are happening in this story. 3w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks for sure! 3w

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks this is the story that goes with Lark Rise‘s accounting lists. Also I‘m some mad at Glegg calling in her money and poor sister Tulliver living in squalor has to figure out some way to magic cost savings out of thin air 3w

julieclair I never could get into Lark Rise… but I‘m liking this book. I keep hoping I‘ll someday finish Lark Rise, but I must admit that hearing that it contains accounting lists is not motivating me, @mcctrish ! 😂 3w

ElizaMarie I‘m glad Tully had a change of heart and not insisted to call in the debt. 8 kids and no money - there is no way sis could have survived - unless she sold the kiddos 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish I don‘t think Glegg did call in her money. Tulliver is just being excessively proud and trying to pay her back before she does 🙄 3w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s the impression I got as well, I was surprised he was going to that much effort 3w

mcctrish @julieclair it just felt like an accounting list 🤣 3w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I thought I‘d missed something with the calling in - so he was just over reacting to his wife talking about it. Thank goodness he didn‘t crush his sister and family #oldladywholivesinashoe 3w

Leftcoastzen I think he has his pride & would like to pay her off . So maybe he could tell her off !😁 Tully saw how tight it was for his sister with all those mouths to feed and couldn‘t do it . I liked the description of the basic poorness of the area as he rides in. Foreshadowing that there isn‘t money to be had . 3w

Bookwormjillk Some things never change though with the drama about meal times and people refusing to just have a snack for goodness sakes. Or maybe that‘s just my family. 4w

mcctrish Mrs Tulliver hurt her sister‘s feeling wearing her own hair aka Glegg who‘s got her third best fake hair on cuz it‘s a weekday 🤯 which is a wonderful lead up to berating Maggie so much she chops her own hair off just to show Glegg. 🤦🏻‍♀️ maybe she can sell Glegg her hair ? 4w

Leftcoastzen When I was reading all the back & forth with the aunts , I‘m thinking why do they put up with them , especially Gregg . The Tullivers just seem more down to earth.

dabbe I am not liking Tom at all. So high and mighty and always wanting to exact justice! Maggie adores him yet he abuses her. All of them do, except the father seems to favor her a bit. Childhood can be so brutal. And the animal abuse? Horrific. 🤬 4w

mcctrish This chapter just had me mad, Mr Tulliver telling Mrs Tulliver to invite them all and she‘s like “the work of it, more food to make, leaves for the table, dishes to get out” and no one‘s helping her and none of them get along as he puts on his hat and strides off 4w

rubyslippersreads If there‘s animal abuse (especially cats), I think it was the right choice for me to skip this. 😼 4w

ElizaMarie I hated Tom with his little mind games with his sister here. She adores him. And did everything she thought she could to make him happy - offered him the better piece and everything! Ugh! He is mean. 4w

TheAromaofBooks Honestly both Tom and Maggie scare me in their own ways 😂 4w

Morr_Books @TheAromaofBooks Agree! 4w

Morr_Books I am weirded out by the conversations between Maggie and Tom. It seems more like a marriage than a sibling relationship. 4w

Morr_Books A lot of serial killer tendencies (killing of animals, etc.) with some of these characters. Not at all what I was expecting from this book. 4w

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books 💯 on both, I definitely wondered about the serial killer aspect 🤣 should be interesting to see how this progresses 4w

Bookwormjillk @Morr_Books yes! Total serial killer vibes! You nailed it. 4w

dabbe I worry about Maggie. She ignores the rabbits and lets them starve to death and takes out her aggressions by stabbing a doll voodoo-style while in the attic. This can not bode well for her psyche. And Tom loving-hating her within minutes. Granted, what she did to the rabbits was awful, but still. 4w

Bklover @Bookwormjillk @dabbe You‘re right about the rabbits. I‘m even mad at her for that! But I hate all of this “I won‘t love you anymore”. Even mom says it. Anyway. I just wanted to mention the last sentence of the chapter is gorgeous! It‘s the narrator speaking about childhood memories. 4w

BarkingMadRead @Bklover the writing is just beautiful! 4w

dabbe @Bklover 🤩😍🤗 4w

Morr_Books I may have an unpopular view, but I'm kinda on team Tom... for this chapter. 4w

ElizaMarie AND the mom quickly again goes to Maggie Drowned! What is with the drowning, maybe her momma lost her sister to drowning. Or do people just up and drown all the time? Is drowning the new boogieman? 4w

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie I really hope we get some clarity on this, I need me a good backstory! 4w

mcctrish @Morr_Books I‘m team Tom too! He asked 2 people to check on his rabbits and they both let him down 👎🏻👎🏻 and he‘s not allowed to be upset ( mom is a bit theatrical with the drowning ) 4w

Clare-Dragonfly @ElizaMarie I think it‘s just because they live close to a river, but maybe there is something… 4w

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly Oo that makes more sense than it being something more nefarious. 4w

Leftcoastzen Why doesn‘t mom just say stay away from the river ! If my mom said stay away from the river , she would have told me why , and I would have stayed away from the river ! 😁 4w

Leftcoastzen I was miffed everyone let Tom down as well , it was a simple ask , Maggie is young but should have been able to look after a couple of rabbits. The parents don‘t look after her , I know people had plenty of work in those days. 4w

Tagging a few to start us of @thebookhippie @dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Cuilin @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread Your day sounded so great! Did you end up going to the #HandsOff Protest? My husband and I flaked on the time. WE thought it started around 1 not ended around 1 :( 4w

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It was!!! I ended up cleaning my mudroom. I am determined that Winter is over (I know it's not quite there yet, but soonish), So I started to clean my mittens, scarves, and hats and put a lot of that stuff away. Still gotta keep some winter-sh stuff out. But my mudroom was a dumping ground - so there was a ton to go through. 4w

ElizaMarie @dabbe We got a lot done - organizing-wise. Not what we had planned. We wanted to go to the protest but flaked on the time. We ended up going to lunch, and then finishing our mudroom cleanout. 4w

ElizaMarie @dabbe Awe - I hope Matt feels better soon. 4w

Cuilin @ElizaMarie There‘s nothing like a little spring clean up. Just don‘t look at the weather forecasted for the next 10 days 🙈 and all will be well. 4w

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I did go with two friends and it was amazing. Brought me to tears a couple of times. We were lucky to have a gorgeous day. One of the best things I‘ve ever done. 4w

TheBookHippie @Cuilin the snow forecasted 😵‍💫 4w

TheBookHippie @Cuilin omg!!! Snow Patrol!! 4w

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It make me so mad!!! Also, I need to get my studs off my tires, which I think it would be “safe“ to set up an appointment in a week or two. 4w

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread I am so happy that you ended up going. I wish we were better at the timing, I saw pics of our town and the neighboring towns and it looks beautiful to see all the support out there. (It was rainy and ugly but there was a good turn out) 4w

Ruthiella Yes, those poor bunnies. 🐰 💔Also th image of a child driving nails into a doll out of anger scares me a little. 😬 But those were different days. 4w

mcctrish She‘s going to live with her brother so she can keep Tom up to speed in life 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ( although she forgot to feed his rabbits so maybe he won‘t want her !) 4w

dabbe And it's now the second time the mom has been afraid that Maggie has drowned. Should I be worried about this? 😬 4w

Bklover @Ruthiella Maggie is very entertaining, but I have to admit she scares me a little. I wouldn‘t want to be up in that attic with her! 😬 (edited) 4w

Bookwormjillk Maggie is a little bit scary but I can‘t decide yet if she‘s adorable scary or don‘t leave her alone with small children scary. 4w

ElizaMarie Oh Maggie!!! She is a different one. 4w

Clare-Dragonfly The poor bunnies 😭😭😭 4w

Leftcoastzen I‘m with @Bookwormjillk 😵‍💫so sad about the rabbits. Maggie is baffled by Luke‘s lack of curiosity about the world. I guess he‘s satisfied with his lot. 4w

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks Agree! 😰 😅 1mo

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks yup 1mo

mcctrish #fathandsriley I‘m with Maggie and thinking he‘s not worth listening to 1mo

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I agree- I‘m feeling very sorry for Tom right now. 1mo

dabbe We haven't even met Tom yet and already we're feeling bad for him! And this is another one where it sucks to be a female in the 1800s! 😊 1mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I was so glad I read this in the hotel instead of bringing it into Disney, I was yelling at the book 🤣 1mo

ElizaMarie (I am not getting the tags; can you re-add me). Anyway, I love Maggie. Poor girl :( “A woman's no business wi' being so clever; it'll turn to trouble.“ - Also, I love how Tom is trying to talk himself into thinking he made the right choice to give them the recommendation. 1mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤣😍🤣 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I really want Tom and Maggie to switch places like Alanna and her brother! She would be much better suited to scholarship! 1mo

Morr_Books I found myself being very suspicious of Mr. Riley. Maybe it is cuz Maggie didn't like him. 1mo

Leftcoastzen 🙄poor Maggie , poor Tom . I think this Mr. Riley isn‘t reliable, does he get a cut for finding students? I‘m with @Dabbe it sucks to be a girl in the 1800s 4w

dabbe @Leftcoastzen Talk about a patriarchal world, right? #oy 4w

Sparklemn Riley can tell himself that he‘s being magnanimous by recommending the clergy as tutor to Tom. But I think this is going to be an “you scratch my back and I‘ll scratch yours” scenario. 4w

Sparklemn @Clare-Dragonfly I agree 👍 (edited) 4w

Sparklemn @Morr_Books He was so dismissive of her reading. Blech. 4w

I am starting this one today - in between #AudioReSet and my current audiobook. I got a Penguin Classic Edition of this one, and it is also free on Audible, so I downloaded it to switch between the two :) I am excited to start!!

ElizaMarie I love the whole convo with the mole! “its puzzling work, talking is“. 😂 1mo

dabbe This quote scares me from the mother: “Maggie, Maggie ... you'll tumble and be drowned some day, an' then you'll be sorry you didn't do as mother told you.“ 😳 1mo

eeclayton As a non-native speaker, I found this chapter a bit difficult to read. I may need to switch to a translation if characters keeps speaking like this. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton the language was definitely rough. I had to read a couple lines twice! 1mo

Leftcoastzen I already feel sorry for Maggie 1mo

Ruthiella @eeclayton I am a native speaker and I found some of the sentences tough to parse! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Poor Maggie, so poorly behaved that her hair won‘t even curl! 🙄😂 1mo

mcctrish “I‘d be sorry for him to be a raskill ( lawyer)” 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

Bklover Can you add me to the list please? 1mo

Bklover @dabbe No Mother of the Year award for her!!😉😂 1mo

dabbe @Bklover 🎯🤣🎯 1mo

Sparklemn @Ruthiella Same! 😵‍💫 1mo

Sparklemn Maggie is sassy! Love it. And her father appears to take it in stride. The mother not so much. 1mo

dabbe I think “moist“ was used in different forms more than once! 🤣 I love the setup to a long flashback of what happens at Dorlcote Mill on the Floss River. No dental floss here whatsoever! 🤩 1mo

Sparklemn “There is a remnant still of last year‘s golden clusters of beehive-ricks rising at intervals beyond the hedgerows…” Such beautiful writing! 1mo

Bklover So far so good! 1mo

New day, new month, new #HashtagBrigade book.

I‘ve fallen behind on so many reads and have found myself reaching for quick reads or books where I really don‘t have to think. Maybe this will be the month to get back on track.

#Zeke has had a good few days, which is nice. He‘s more active recently, and his only issue is not eating the food best for his issue (we see a specialist the end of this month for an official diagnosis). #CatsOfLitsy

BarkingMadRead Hugs to Zeke! 1mo
