mcctrish It went better than I thought but does Tom have to make Maggie cry every time they meet 21h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I feel like he gets off on it, like he‘s not happy unless he can make someone else sad 21h

mcctrish Poor Tom is surrounded by fuck ups 🤣🤣🤣 21h

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. 20h

BarkingMadRead @dabbe he‘s 💯 correct. With zero tact 🤣 20h

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #wellsaid 🤩 18h

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) 17h

Bookwormjillk Usually I like one of the kids over the other but they both were annoying in this chapter. 15h

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 😂 14h

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! 12h

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. 10h

ElizaMarie 👀 3d

julieclair @Ruthiella 😂😂Truth! Honestly, I‘m going to be so upset if he comes between Maggie and Lucy. 2d

Leftcoastzen Lots of drama could be coming up! 2d

Leftcoastzen I liked the fact that Maggie was direct about her sewing skills . She needed money , not just needlework projects for after dinner. 2d

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 2d

Hey #hashtagbrigade before things get crazy and I forget to post, I‘m having surgery in 11 days (my uterus is trying to kill me) I‘m hoping to read ahead a little during the next week, and I shouldn‘t miss a day…. But who knows? I‘m having a total hysterectomy and I might be cranky 🤷🏻‍♀️ so if you don‘t hear from me for a day or three, that‘s why! I will catch up in the days following if necessary! #fuckcancer

Ruthiella Wishing you a speedy recovery and some good drugs at the hospital. ❤️ 4d

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella good drugs are important 🤣💊 4d

mcctrish Wishing you luck! I had a partial hysterectomy 18 😳 years ago after some sketchy Pap smears( my ovaries stayed in so they could wreck my life now with sleep issues and weight gain). I hope your recovery matches mine and you have great sleeps, no pain and lots of reading time 4d

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. 4d

Leftcoastzen Well , we shall see!😄 4d

ElizaMarie Hmm- I am going to guess its gonna be so awkward. 3d

mcctrish #tetchytully takes the easy road out again 5d

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 😡 5d

Bookwormjillk Ugh. Fricken #TetchyTully 5d

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 5d

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. 5d

eeclayton @barkingmadread lovely image choice for today 😍 4d

Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

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. 👍 6d

mcctrish @Ruthiella we are closer to the end than the start 6d

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. 💚💜💚 5d

mcctrish @dabbe maybe hashtag will read Ivanhoe and that will be the kick in the pants I need (edited) 5d

dabbe @mcctrish Not a bad idea! We should add that one the next time voting comes around! 5d

Librarybelle I got 16, but there are so many I‘m in the middle of but did not count because I did not finish them. Some I‘ve not heard of before and others are on my to read list. 😂 6d

BarkingMadRead 27 for me (I counted two that I‘m currently reading) 6d

lil1inblue Uh oh. This era does not bode well for me... 😂 6d

See All 67 Comments

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, 22 only! Jane Austen saved me on this one. So many I‘d not heard of but look interesting! Remembered how much I loved Woman in White. Thanks for the tag @dabbe 💛 6d

CSeydel Just 11. Not bad for a STEM major, though, right? … right?? 6d

CSeydel Probably another 11 on my TBR. But most of them I hadn‘t heard of 😔 6d

Amor4Libros I got 1…Moby Dick! 🤣🤣 6d

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Most from the 1700s, I'm like 😳! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Thank goodness for the #hashtagbrigade! We were able to count quite a few! (and I included MILL ON THE FLOSS since we will be finished soon). Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

dabbe @lil1inblue 🎯🩵🎯! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me #ditto! I adored WOMAN IN WHITE! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

dabbe @CSeydel R.I.G.H.T.! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 6d

dabbe @Amor4Libros And I only read “Call me Ishmael“ and called it a day! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Got 22, which is not too bad for a Lit major focusing on contemporary texts! 6d

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I think you'll kick some serious ass as we move forward in years! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵📚🩵 6d

willaful Only 20 for me! Would be a bit higher if I had participated in *all* the #HashtagBrigade reads. ;-) Nothing I especially want to read but certainly might if the brigade does them. :-) 6d

peaKnit I know face slaps are not allowed but @dabbe…I got 4 😂 thank gosh for Jane Austen. 6d

shortsarahrose I got 12, which is honestly better than I expected (thanks mostly to actually liking 19th century American lit - Melville, Hawthorne, Poe). Sorrows of Young Werther should count twice cause I read it in German 😆 (surprised that with three Goethe texts on the list, Faust wasn‘t one of them! I guess maybe because it‘s technically a play?) 6d

Bklover 18- thanks to #hashtagbrigade and Jane Austen. There are quite a few I hadn‘t even heard of! 6d

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 6d

Bookwormjillk Lucky 13. Grateful for#PemberLittens and #HashtagBrigade 🤣 6d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I definitely counted Mill on the Floss. We‘re almost done! 6d

Read4life Thanks for the tag!! 💙📚💙 6d

tpixie @Daisey 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh! It is too bad they couldn't find a few more 😂 thanks for the tag! 6d

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! I‘m going to get my book out before I do the survey as my memory was much better back then. 6d

Daisey @tpixie I went through and have read 39 (including currently reading Mill on the Floss). I‘ll have to watch for these the next few weeks. 5d

dabbe @willaful The #hashtagbrigade saved my sorry ass! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @peaKnit I think the only one I read from the 1700s was GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. The others I was like 😳. 🤣 We'll get better as the list moves forward a few years!
Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @shortsarahrose Yep, I think plays don't count, though they should. And you should count it twice! I read COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO in French, and I counted it twice. I needed all the help I could get! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @Bklover IKR? 1700s was like 😳!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 5d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I did, too! 🤣 5d

dabbe @Read4life YW! 😍 5d

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣😍🤣 5d

dabbe @Deblovestoread You have this book? How cool is that? I'm thinking of getting it! 😍 5d

dabbe @Daisey You beat my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 📚😉👍🏼💝. (edited) 5d

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 5d

Lesliereadsalot Thanks for the tag but I can barely remember what I had for lunch let alone books from my far past! 🩷 5d

AnnCrystal Whispering again...👀...Zero!

I did watch many as movies, but it's been years.

1 - Carmilla. Long Time TBR book (I'm horrible, still need to read Dracula too).

Movies

2- North and South I saw one version of this many years ago and fell in love with the story

3- Orson Welles In Jane Eyre 💝💝💝.

📚💝. (edited) 5d

melissajayne 17/100 5d

rwmg 39 including 2 I DNF-ed (Clarissa and Tristam Shandy).
5d

Eggs 6 🙀🙄!!! 5d

julesG I might have read 13 books from that list. 5d

julesG @shortsarahrose I had similar thoughts about Goethe and was wondering why a few others were missing. Them being plays might be the reason. 5d

Amiable I don‘t even care about my score —the fact that I could check off “Clarissa” caused me to shout “YES!!” and pump my fist in celebration. 🎉 ☝🏼😀 5d

tpixie 12. It said the average was 18! 5d

TheLudicReader Hahahahaha. 8. 5d

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot 😍 5d

dabbe @AnnCrystal I adored OW as Rochester! That's my favorite version, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @melissajayne Those 1700s! #oy 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @rwmg You kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @Eggs Thank goodness we're past the 1700s! I was like 😳 when I saw those books! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @julesG I was all about the “might“ on this list. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @julesG I think you're right. 🎯 5d

dabbe @Amiable Is that like the longest book in the English language? I don't think I could even attempt--nor would I want to! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @tpixie Together we average 18.5, so we're good! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

dabbe @TheLudicReader Reading with the #hashtagbrigade and loving Austen are the only two things that gave me a few more books. 1700s? #wtf 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 5d

Amiable @dabbe It is the longest! I couldn‘t have gotten through it without the Litsy #Clarissa crew. 5d

dabbe @Amiable I barely made it through WAR AND PEACE, so I don't know if I could even fathom reading this one! Was the writing good? 5d

tpixie @dabbe I like your math! 5d

AnnCrystal @dabbe 🤩👍🏼😍🎬💝. 4d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Only 8 from these. I should check a few of these out. I don't remember much about A Modest Proposal other than a one line plot description, but I know I thought it was clever. Wild that we read it in school. I enjoy Edgar Allan Poe, so those two are probably the favorites. I've seen Emma on film and read a graphic novel. I'm counting that in my tally because I've decided that Austen novels just aren't for me. 4d

dabbe This was me looking through the ones from the 1700s: 😳😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 4d
