#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
@Read4Life Thanks for the tag -
1. I keep $20 in my car at all times. Mostly for gas, but lately, it's for ice cream money (there is a seasonal shop opened now that only takes cash).
2. I would say the family is kinda wealthy, and are not about sharing the wealth, but holding it over others. The MC family is poor poor dirt poor and now they are facing their downfall.

#WhereAreYouMonday
Apparently based on Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, I am 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.

I‘m a bit late starting, but I got caught up listening to the first few chapters of The Mill on the Floss while taking a walk with Luthien today. I‘m not sure what I think of these two siblings yet, but I‘m looking forward to seeing where this goes.

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 wish it was a full set , it isn‘t ! Will read the first chapter tonight.
I‘m reading this as an ebook, but I just had to share the gorgeous copy that my library has. The page edges are shiny gold! 🤩
#hashtagbrigade @BarkingMadRead
My dear friend gave me her copy of this book. It's her favorite Eliot novel, so I'm looking forward to reading it with this lovely group. I adore Penguin Classics because of the guided assistance! 📚
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!
#HashtagBrigade
I might try to track down a print copy but in the meantime I‘ve got Serial #hashtagbrigade
Book 1, ch 1: loving all the covers so far! #shortchapter #boyandgirl #dorlcotemill #beautifulwriting #inlovewithmoistness #um #hashtagbrigade
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
No #boringkindlecover for me this month. I‘ve got a real live book! #HashTagBrigade #LetsDoThis
Ok #hashtagbrigade here is our April/May book! This book has 59 chapters! This is open to everyone, just remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read my post until you‘ve read the day‘s chapter! We will read a chapter a day, starting April 1. Drop a comment below if you are joining in!

I read most of this book on my commute but I was glad that I read the ending in the comfort of my bed so I could stare sadly out of my window at the rainy sky. I think, one of the strongest character of the book was Mr. Tulliver, not only did he carry the story along with his firm, decided views, but also provided as a strong connection between pretty much all the characters. His headstrong nature was, at once, plot- propelling and believable.👇🏽
There were some bits that were a bit rambly, but overall a good story. Honestly a bit like a soap opera. I really did not like the ending.
I've tried The Meursalt Investigation twice and I just can't. Giving the tagged book a try and liking it better so far. #audiobooks
I can't continue. I will have to get back to this book at a different point in my life.
It was a time ... when country surgeons never thought of asking their female patients if they were fond of reading, but simply took it for granted that they preferred gossip; ...
Goodreads thinks that because I enjoyed The Mill on the Floss, I would enjoy Catch-22 😂
Coincidentally, though, I did think of Catch-22 while I was reading Piece of Cake.
Compelling characters and high emotional intensity made this a pick for me. There were times when the narrator digressed about things and I tuned out, but overall it was interesting.
