mcctrish A man of 5 and twenty should know better but he‘s still a man FFS if men are so fucking strong that they have to be in charge why can‘t they be in charge of themselves 10h

Leftcoastzen It is a frustrating chapter! Maggie left to get the scowls, side eye , etc . Hard times for a woman. She‘s trying to stay strong. 8h

TheAromaofBooks Like I get why Maggie doesn't want to start over, but at the same time - it feels like she always purposefully chooses the hardest possible path for no real reason. 5h

Clare-Dragonfly Yes, very frustrating. Dr. Kenn seems to be a kind man. I hope he comes up with a solution that can satisfy Maggie‘s conscience without making the rest of her life miserable. 5h

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!!! 57m

Bookwormjillk And they all lived happily ever after…except there are ten chapters left. #ruhrohindeed 1w

Clare-Dragonfly Tom is *not* going to like this. I‘m not sure Maggie will, either, if she learns it‘s theoretically toward the project of Phil marrying her. It seems manipulative. (edited) 1w

Leftcoastzen Folly ! I think Maggie won‘t want Phil she wants #toxicsteve 1w

ElizaMarie Tom isn't gonna be happy. 1w

Bookwormjillk Lucy is so dumb!!! She's going to mess everything up. Ugh. 1w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I just think the world revolves around Lucy so despite her telling her dad she‘s a smarty, she is clueless also Stephen is toxic 1w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish yup, a toxic man playing toxic games 1w

dabbe At first, the original love triangle reminded me of the one in THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. Now with Philip, I'm like 😳. I think we're headed for a fall. 1w

ElizaMarie I am not into this Stephen dude- he is gonna cause so much trouble 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t totally blame Stephen for not acting well—his attraction to Maggie is pretty new and he doesn‘t know what to do with it. But I sure hope he shapes up soon and realizes he has to make a choice! (Or preferably leave them both alone because picking one is definitely going to cause drama.) 1w

Leftcoastzen Kind of a mixed up situation! I agree Lucy is clueless.Lots of potential for heartache and hurt feelings here . 1w

The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway | Virginia Woolf, Merve Emre

A very happy 100th birthday to my number one favorite book of all time: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf! 🩷🩷🩷

On March 14th 1925, Woolf published one of the greatest pieces of literature! 🥳🎉 This book has influenced my life in so many ways, and I will forever love it and Virginia Woolf! 📖

Billypar I think I'm finally going to read it sometime in the next few months - looking forward to it! 2w

tpixie Do you recommend the annotated version for a first time VW reader? 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Wow, happy birthday Mrs. Dalloway! I should give it a reread—I haven‘t read it since high school, but I loved it then. 1w

Branwen @Billypar YES! That's awesome! I can't wait to hear what you think about it! 💕 @Clare-Dragonfly Now is the perfect time for a reread! 🥰 @tpixie Absolutely! I don't think it's necessary to read the annotated version, but you will definitely get the most out of it by reading it that way for the first time! 📖🩷 1w

tpixie @Branwen thanks! I‘ll have to order it on Bookshop.org 1w
