I‘m counting Floss because I‘m currently reading it with #hashtagbrigade and it has to count for something! I did start Ivanhoe that‘s on this list but I‘ve barely touched it so I left it off #TLT #Threelistthursday

Ruthiella I think it‘s fair to count The Mill on the Floss. 👍 9h

mcctrish @Ruthiella we are closer to the end than the start 9h

Pretty crappy score. My face reading the books listed from the 1700s: 😳! I'm hoping to do better as we move chronologically forward in time! 🤣

Three chick-lit faves are in the pic above.

mcctrish I‘m glad Tom saved the day but I still can‘t stand him. I thought he‘d snuck the money in the tin. If the debts are paid doesn‘t #techytully still need a job? 20h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish you would think! That part confused me a bit, maybe it was just excitement 20h

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead he‘s a bit rash when it comes to #snakywakey 20h

Ruthiella @mcctrish I thought too Tom would sneak the money in to the tin. And for sure, even if the debts are paid, both he and Mr. T. have to work ie, stay at the Mill or find somewhere else. So this is all very performative. 18h

mcctrish @Ruthiella right! Doesn‘t their house come with running the mill? So his debts are paid and he leaves his job and now he‘s homeless too? Mrs Tulliver is going to lose her shit! #firsttheteapotsnowthehouse (edited) 18h

eeclayton It felt to me like Tom wasn't saving the family to save the family but to bask in the glory 🫤 16h

Clare-Dragonfly I am worried now that Tom has made this big announcement but doesn‘t literally have the money that something will happen to prevent them from getting it 😬 11h

mcctrish It happened faster than I thought #maggiespeaksthetruth I wonder if Tom will actually hear and understand Maggie‘s words later on? How he is inherently mean? I pity any girl he sets his eye on ( I don‘t think Tom is wrong though that #techytully being upset with Phil and Mags would be nothing compared to #snakywakey ‘s response or how compromised Mags would be if it was known she was meeting up with a boy) 2d

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - That's the thing, Tom wasn't 100% wrong; I think he was actually right about a lot of what he said, but wowsers he sure is one self-satisfied, obnoxious kid. Such an uncomplicated conscience - if I do it, it's right; if I don't do it, it's wrong 😂 Poor Maggie. I was glad that she at least put the vow into her own words! 2d

Ruthiella Tom could have been more compassionate, for sure. I did like how Maggie told him off-even though it will not soak in-he is so sure of his own correctness. 2d

Bookwormjillk Yeah I was liking Tom for a while but today I was team #ShutUpTom 2d

dabbe I couldn't help but also notice that this chapter ends with Maggie actually being a wee bit glad that the secret is out in the open and that she can't see Phil anymore. Maybe she loved him but not enough. And Tom, well, maybe a new hashtag: #tommytemper? #oy
1d

Leftcoastzen Tom is so overbearing, he feels he‘s the only thing holding it all together.Poor Maggie has so few privileges or prospects because of the situation.I think she loved talking with Phil & having a little secret.Like @dabbe I think she felt relieved. She doesn‘t care for Phil enough 21h

mcctrish I‘d like to HEA wrap this up but we are only 2/3 through it so obviously it‘s all going to hell 3d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish with as many pages are left, it‘s definitely going to be a dumpster fire 🔥 3d

AllDebooks I can't look, this is gonna be a train wreck 🙈 3d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish they‘re all going to drown in the river 3d

Bookwormjillk I think it‘s going to be worse for her when Tom finds out than when #tetchytully finds out 3d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I think Tom will give her the most grief too 3d

Clare-Dragonfly So… last chapter Maggie said no, they can‘t meet up because keeping secrets is bad, and a year later they‘re meeting regularly and happily discussing books? What did I miss? 😵‍💫 2d

I had a pretty crappy reading month in April, so the two on the left are leftovers from then. Here's hoping May is better!
