#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.

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! 3d
BarkingMadRead @kao I just started season 1, I can‘t wait to watch all the seasons! 3d
KAO @BarkingMadRead The show is SO bizarre, but I couldn‘t resist some unique storytelling! 3d
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 ❤️❤️❤️ 3d
ElizaMarie Oooo White Lotus! So messed up! It‘s this slow burn to chaos! “Pipper Noooo!!!” 3d
julieclair #tetchytully ‘s “always going to law” and robbing Peter to pay Paul is catching up with him big time. 3d
Clare-Dragonfly It‘s sad and all but I found it hilarious how #tetchytully hates Wakem so much that he had a (possibly literal) stroke on learning that he owes him money! (edited) 2d
KAO @ElizaMarie 😂 “You want to live in Taiwan?! Noooo!” 2d

BTW, @BarkingMadRead, BEST photo ever to describe this chapter! 🤣🙌🏻🤩

ElizaMarie Ooo -- things are happening ---- #FingersCrossed it continues! Also, I hope Maggie annoys Tom with praise of Phil. 6d
TheAromaofBooks At least it feels like they are acting like regular children instead of psychopaths now 😂 6d
mcctrish Thank god he stabbed himself @AllDebooks I am struggling 6d
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣 5d
mcctrish @dabbe is it the time period? I did care but it‘s getting harder 5d
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! 🤣 5d
julieclair @ElizaMarie You called it! Flesh wound! 🎯 5d
julieclair @dabbe @mcctrish @ElizaMarie At least the lack of a plot is preventing me being tempted to read ahead. 🤣🤣😂 5d
dabbe @julieclair And if you're like me, I count the pages before I read, and I happily rejoice if it's less than 10 pages! 🤣😍🤣 5d
eeclayton @dabbe same 😂 5d
Leftcoastzen @julieclair 😂no temptation to read ahead #gotplot 5d
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! 5d
julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly Full confession: I often didn‘t stop at the end of each section with Woman in White. Totally impossible. 3d
BarkingMadRead @julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly I 💯 read ahead for Woman in White 3d

ElizaMarie Not that I want something bad to happen -- but... something happening might be cool, so #FingersCrossed someone gets a little flesh wound? 7d
Clare-Dragonfly I am worried that someone will get hurt! 6d
eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree. While I enjoy the character studies, I would love for something to happen already. 6d
ElizaMarie @eeclayton YES!!! I am glad I am not the only one! 6d
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 6d
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 6d
julieclair I have visions of Maggie playing with the sword… 😳 5d

@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 💖 7d
dabbe @Eggs You're lucky re: the 2nd one. 🤩 7d

mcctrish School days are going to be more pleasant now 1w
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 1w

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 (edited) 1w
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of him as well! 1w
ElizaMarie I‘m so confused about the point of this book!? 1w
BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie is there one?!? 🤣🤣 1w
Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie it might be a Lark Rise type book with no point. At least that‘s what it reminds me of. 1w
Leftcoastzen I like that they may find some common ground. Tom really admires Philips drawing skills. 6d
julieclair @dabbe I agree. The derogatory terms just make me sad. They were so widespread and just accepted as normal. 5d
