Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks Agree! 😰 😅 18h

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks yup 15h

mcctrish #fathandsriley I‘m with Maggie and thinking he‘s not worth listening to 14h

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I agree- I‘m feeling very sorry for Tom right now. 14h

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! 😊 13h

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I was so glad I read this in the hotel instead of bringing it into Disney, I was yelling at the book 🤣 12h

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. 12h

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤣😍🤣 11h

Clare-Dragonfly I really want Tom and Maggie to switch places like Alanna and her brother! She would be much better suited to scholarship! 9h

Morr_Books I found myself being very suspicious of Mr. Riley. Maybe it is cuz Maggie didn't like him. 3h

The Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

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!!

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. 2d

I‘m going with library a ebook/audiobook combo this month unless, like with Cranford, I develop such a passion that I break down and buy a copy!

Leftcoastzen Forgot to start 🙄😳 3d

mcctrish benumbed arms - this a going to be lovely 3d

Ruthiella The first chapter was a breeze. ❤️ 3d

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! 🤩 3d

Sparklemn “There is a remnant still of last year‘s golden clusters of beehive-ricks rising at intervals beyond the hedgerows…” Such beautiful writing! 2d

Bklover So far so good! 2d

AllDebooks This was a perfect opening, such evocative writing. 2d

Leftcoastzen Very descriptive, I‘m interested. 2d

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! 3d
