TheAromaofBooks The end of this chapter felt like some heavy foreshadowing that things aren't going to go well for Tom at Stelling's 😂 22h

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks Agree! 😰 😅 22h
mcctrish #fathandsriley I‘m with Maggie and thinking he‘s not worth listening to 18h
Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I agree- I‘m feeling very sorry for Tom right now. 18h
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! 😊 18h
BarkingMadRead @dabbe I was so glad I read this in the hotel instead of bringing it into Disney, I was yelling at the book 🤣 17h
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. 16h
dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤣😍🤣 15h
Clare-Dragonfly I really want Tom and Maggie to switch places like Alanna and her brother! She would be much better suited to scholarship! 13h
Morr_Books I found myself being very suspicious of Mr. Riley. Maybe it is cuz Maggie didn't like him. 8h

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!!

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!

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
