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!

Clare-Dragonfly I dunno if Bob‘s reaction to Maggie is a crush. It reminds me of Bessy in North and South looking at Margaret. (Wow, lots of name repetition!) 3d
julieclair That was so sweet of Bob! 😍 3d
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂big thumbs and a stack of books! 3d

Leftcoastzen Maggie & the family ruminate on their limited prospects.Bob is kind to bring Maggie books! Big Thumbs ? Really? 😂 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! 5d
Bookwormjillk I know I read this chapter but I don‘t remember a bit. #MovingOn 5d
Ruthiella It was a lot of bla bla bla only to show that Mr. Tulliver is unchristian in thought, if not in deed. 5d
julieclair I listened while driving and admit I mostly tuned it out. 🤣 3d

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. 6d
mcctrish Next he‘ll have Maggie make up a little doll to put pins into 😉 #tetchytully cursing #snakeywakey 6d

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 😱
6d
dabbe @mcctrish Oh, the voodoo that she will do ... 🤣 6d
mcctrish @dabbe or #tetchytully thinks he‘s more important than he actually is 😉😆 #ivoteforvoodoo 6d
Leftcoastzen Now a disaster with the river seems eminent! #yikes 6d

Clare-Dragonfly Yikes on bikes! 6d
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. 🤪 6d
julieclair @BarkingMadRead Is this photo of your family Bible? 5d
BarkingMadRead @julieclair nah, I found it on Google 5d

Leftcoastzen It is a sad state to be in . Their lives dissembled, Tully so out of it . Yes , no teapots , he gets the chair . 1w

Bookwormjillk Someone needs to get those teapots back 1w
julieclair @mcctrish I was hoping she was going to hide one of the teapots so it couldn‘t be sold. Like bury it in the garden or something. 6d
mcctrish @julieclair she could have stuffed it into the chair 6d
julieclair @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 5d
