Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

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
ElizaMarie Awe --- this little love story can only end in disaster! (Waiting patiently for all hell to break loose) 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!

Ruthiella I‘m kind of proud of old Bob too. Aunt G. was so rude and condescending. 5d
mcctrish Bob knows a thing or two about 5d

Leftcoastzen That damn family ! So condescending! Tom is really trying, Bob is helping, yet still worried about them 5d
Bookwormjillk Loved it. Go Bob. 5d
ElizaMarie Ugh Aunt G is the worst! #VillianVibes - I'm also proud of Bob 🙃 4d
julieclair I so enjoyed watching Bob get the better of Aunt G! 3d

TheAromaofBooks This chapter made me sad because it doesn't seem like there is any way that this is actually going to end up being a happy situation 6d
Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I share your trepidation! I feel like a cloud is hanging over everyone…lightning is coming…😬 6d

Clare-Dragonfly Sheesh, all these things they can‘t do because it would make Tom or #tetchytully mad! 6d
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m not sure #snakeywakey would approve either but getting them together would solve everything #gettheteapotsback 6d
ElizaMarie @TheAromaOfBooks I also thought this chapter was so sad. It sucks that Maggie and Phillip can't live their lives without their families being all butt hurt. Very #RomeoAndJuliet vibes here. Also poor girl #MaggieREAD please girl, go back to books! 5d
Leftcoastzen Made me sad too. Maggie is painfully aware of her diminished station in life ,trying to muddle through. A cloud hanging over everything, so true. Every relationship is tainted by the drama of the past. 5d
julieclair @mcctrish You are seriously cracking me up with your #TeapotCrusade ! 😂😂😆😘 3d

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! 1w
Bookwormjillk I know I read this chapter but I don‘t remember a bit. #MovingOn 1w
Ruthiella It was a lot of bla bla bla only to show that Mr. Tulliver is unchristian in thought, if not in deed. 1w
julieclair I listened while driving and admit I mostly tuned it out. 🤣 7d

When I am dead, my dearest,/sing no sad songs for me;/plant thou no roses at my head,/nor shady cypress tree:

be the green grass above me/with showers and dew drop wet;/and if thou wilt, remember,/and if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,/I shall not feel the rain;/I shall not hear the nightingale/sing on, as if in pain:/and dreaming through the twilight/that doth not rise nor set,/haply I may remember,/and haply may forget.

Bookwormjillk I can‘t believe he made him write it in the Bible. These kids are stuck parenting their parents. 1w

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.“

More reference to the river--not in a good way. #yikes 😱

julieclair A river disaster is definitely coming. And writing that curse in the family Bible for all future generations to see. Oh my! #tetchytully is tetched in the head. 🤪 1w
