mcctrish I mean it is called the mill on the floss for a reason I guess #whatgoesaroundcomesaround #tomhasabeeinhisbonnet 20h

Bookwormjillk Uncle D is so full of himself. NOW he wants to claim Tom. (Who, for the record, I am still mad at.) 19h

ElizaMarie @BookwormJillK I agree! I am so ugh with/at Tom. 15h

julieclair I have just been wondering if there are any characters in this book I haven‘t been annoyed with at some point. Maybe Lucy? And Bob. 13h

mcctrish It went better than I thought but does Tom have to make Maggie cry every time they meet 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I feel like he gets off on it, like he‘s not happy unless he can make someone else sad 2d

mcctrish Poor Tom is surrounded by fuck ups 🤣🤣🤣 2d

dabbe I may be giving an unpopular opinion here, but I think Tom nailed some of Maggie's worst traits--even though he was a dick about it as usual. Maggie's overwrought passions are going to get her into trouble--IMHO. 2d

BarkingMadRead @dabbe he‘s 💯 correct. With zero tact 🤣 2d

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #wellsaid 🤩 2d

KAO All in all, it still seems a shame that Tom and Maggie don‘t have a more mutually supportive relationship. It would be a bit of comfort for them in these trying times! #admittedlypollyanna-ish (edited) 2d

Bookwormjillk Usually I like one of the kids over the other but they both were annoying in this chapter. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t really see how Maggie got “Tom is in love with Lucy” from what Bob said but I‘ll go with it! Will the couples reconfigure leaving poor Philip alone? Also, did you notice that Bob‘s wife is short?! As a short person I was very amused 😂 2d

Leftcoastzen Yes , I wish Tom & Maggie were closer , he‘s always pretty harsh but agree with @dabbe he points out traits in Maggie that could lead to issues! 2d

ElizaMarie Tom has some points but he is such a jerk about it. He is cruel to Magggie, I feel like it just shows how immature he is. 1d

julieclair I totally missed that Tom was in love with Lucy. 21h

ElizaMarie 👀 4d

julieclair @Ruthiella 😂😂Truth! Honestly, I‘m going to be so upset if he comes between Maggie and Lucy. 4d

Leftcoastzen Lots of drama could be coming up! 3d

Leftcoastzen I liked the fact that Maggie was direct about her sewing skills . She needed money , not just needlework projects for after dinner. 3d

dabbe I could just feel the electricity between those two! And Lucy just sitting there being so pretty and hoping they like each other. #oy! This can't be good, can it? And now Phil's going to come over, too? #doubleoy 3d

BarkingMadRead @julieclair I hope so too! 5d

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m glad Phil has friends and Maggie is still close with her cousin! I think things will be very awkward when they show up at the same place. Laughing at the boyfriend‘s descriptions of what he thinks Maggie will be like. 5d

Leftcoastzen Well , we shall see!😄 5d

ElizaMarie Hmm- I am going to guess its gonna be so awkward. 4d

mcctrish #tetchytully takes the easy road out again 6d

Leftcoastzen Doesn‘t take a lot of thought to wonder since father fought with Wakem & Wakem owns the property they may get turned out. Tom did the hard work to earn the money to pay the debt . And this is his reward? Tully just had to fight to his own detriment 😡 6d

Bookwormjillk Ugh. Fricken #TetchyTully 6d

ElizaMarie Wow! Okay, so I kinda felt blindsided with this. I mean the fight was coming, we know that, but... to have been so worked up that he ups and dies! And of course his #PigHeadedness totally screws his family over. Not to speak ill about the dead but... Talk about #DadOfTheYear 6d

Clare-Dragonfly Jeez! I wonder if I‘d feel differently if we‘d actually seen depictions of how Wakem treats #tetchytully as his employee over the years but as it is… Tully is a freaking idiot jerk. 6d

eeclayton @barkingmadread lovely image choice for today 😍 5d

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton thank you! Pops kept mentioning that Tim should save the mill, so I thought it would be a good pic for the chapter! 5d

I‘m counting Floss because I‘m currently reading it with #hashtagbrigade and it has to count for something! I did start Ivanhoe that‘s on this list but I‘ve barely touched it so I left it off #TLT #Threelistthursday

Ruthiella I think it‘s fair to count The Mill on the Floss. 👍 7d

mcctrish @Ruthiella we are closer to the end than the start 7d

dabbe I counted MILL, too! And I've started and restartee IVANHOE I don't know how many times. It's a wee hard to get into. 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 6d

mcctrish @dabbe maybe hashtag will read Ivanhoe and that will be the kick in the pants I need (edited) 6d

dabbe @mcctrish Not a bad idea! We should add that one the next time voting comes around! 6d

Pretty crappy score. My face reading the books listed from the 1700s: 😳! I'm hoping to do better as we move chronologically forward in time! 🤣

Three chick-lit faves are in the pic above.

mcctrish I‘m glad Tom saved the day but I still can‘t stand him. I thought he‘d snuck the money in the tin. If the debts are paid doesn‘t #techytully still need a job? 7d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish you would think! That part confused me a bit, maybe it was just excitement 7d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead he‘s a bit rash when it comes to #snakywakey 7d

Ruthiella @mcctrish I thought too Tom would sneak the money in to the tin. And for sure, even if the debts are paid, both he and Mr. T. have to work ie, stay at the Mill or find somewhere else. So this is all very performative. 7d

mcctrish @Ruthiella right! Doesn‘t their house come with running the mill? So his debts are paid and he leaves his job and now he‘s homeless too? Mrs Tulliver is going to lose her shit! #firsttheteapotsnowthehouse (edited) 7d

eeclayton It felt to me like Tom wasn't saving the family to save the family but to bask in the glory 🫤 7d

Clare-Dragonfly I am worried now that Tom has made this big announcement but doesn‘t literally have the money that something will happen to prevent them from getting it 😬 7d

julieclair @mcctrish I had forgotten about the house being tied to the mill. Ugh…. this can‘t end well. 6d

mcctrish @eeclayton absolutely true 6d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly same ( and if it was just him I‘d be cheering that plot twist on) 6d

ElizaMarie I think I had misunderstood, I had assumed they would continue to work (maybe try to buy the mill back), but that they are celebrating being in the black now. Like when we do laundry --- #LaundryIsForever :) But I agree @Eeclayton - It felt like it was just Tom being #LookWhoIsTheBest ! Since he is so full of himself! 6d
