#WhereAreYouMonday

Apparently based on Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, I 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! 3h

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

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

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 ❤️❤️❤️ 3m

dabbe @mcctrish #channelinglarkrise 😳 3d

mcctrish @dabbe is it the time period? I did care but it‘s getting harder 3d

dabbe @mcctrish Maybe. It's also the absence again of a plot. I mean, it's a bildungsroman about Maggie and Tom growing up, but have a driving plot line, please! 🤣 3d

julieclair @ElizaMarie You called it! Flesh wound! 🎯 3d

julieclair @dabbe @mcctrish @ElizaMarie At least the lack of a plot is preventing me being tempted to read ahead. 🤣🤣😂 3d

Clare-Dragonfly @julieclair Oh yeah, this isn‘t like The Woman in White where it was so hard to stop at the end of each section! 2d

julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly Full confession: I often didn‘t stop at the end of each section with Woman in White. Totally impossible. 15h

ElizaMarie Not that I want something bad to happen -- but... something happening might be cool, so #FingersCrossed someone gets a little flesh wound? 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I am worried that someone will get hurt! 4d

eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree. While I enjoy the character studies, I would love for something to happen already. 3d

ElizaMarie @eeclayton YES!!! I am glad I am not the only one! 3d

Leftcoastzen Made me think of my parents “ hey put that down, you‘ll poke your eye out!” Or in this case , cut your arm off ? Funny/not funny 3d

mcctrish @ElizaMarie while I might have said “oh FFS Mr Poulter that was stupid” you aren‘t wrong about wanting to have something happen. @Bookwormjillk can‘t see this going right 3d

The Mysteries of Udolpho | Ann Radcliffe

#wondrouswednesday
@Eggs (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I still can cry over BREAKING THE CHAIN: THE GUARD DOG STORY: a comic book by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS. So poignant!
2. The tagged: THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. #ugh I couldn't even get through this one with the #hashtagbrigade! That's really saying something! 🤣

Eggs Not familiar with either one ☝️ Thx for joining in 💖 4d

mcctrish School days are going to be more pleasant now 5d

dabbe I just despise the derogatory terms used against poor Phil and his back. I know those were the words, but still ... in the #ShardlakeBR series, the lawyer, Shardlake, calls himself a hunchback as does pretty much everyone else--even Henry VIII in an extremely volatile way. #peoplecanbesocruel 5d

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

Ruth: a novel

(edited) 5d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of him as well! 5d

ElizaMarie I‘m so confused about the point of this book!? 5d

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie is there one?!? 🤣🤣 5d

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie it might be a Lark Rise type book with no point. At least that‘s what it reminds me of. 5d

Leftcoastzen I like that they may find some common ground. Tom really admires Philips drawing skills. 3d

julieclair @dabbe I agree. The derogatory terms just make me sad. They were so widespread and just accepted as normal. 3d

Bookwormjillk @dabbe #tetchytully because it makes me think of the Teletubbies which adds something to the book 6d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I think it's more fun-sounding out loud, too! 🤣 It could even sound like #touchytully! 6d

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yup 😂 6d

mcctrish I love it #tetchytully he always has a bee in his bonnet 6d

ElizaMarie Oooo love this @dabbe 5d

dabbe @ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish #tetchytully it is! 🤣🤣🤣 5d

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. 4d

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. 7d

TheAromaofBooks I actually found myself liking Tom for the first time in this chapter. 7d

Bookwormjillk I‘ll admit it. It‘s Monday. I skimmed. 7d

ElizaMarie Tom can‘t ever let Maggie have any props 7d

Morr_Books I wish I had learned more languages when I was younger, but Latin was never one of them 6d
