dabbe The drama keeps thickening! I'd like to pull Cynthia's hair to make her really cry. 1w

mcctrish I think we should rename this Men Being Dumb instead of wives and daughters 1w

eeclayton @Bookwormjillk That comment cracked me up, too 😂 1w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 😂🎯😂 1w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘ve said it before (and got put in facebook jail for hate speech) #boysaredumb 1w

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead Zuckerberg is a case in point 1w

Cuilin @mcctrish agreed. All of the male characters are lacking in the smarts department. 1w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead maybe you should have said boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider 1w

willaful @Bookwormjillk lol! 1w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Hahahaha, yes! After reading this you‘ll want to go to Cranford where the men all die! 1w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly if only we‘d read this one first, we‘d have felt so justified with every death in Cranford 1w

ElizaMarie I can't with Cynthia- ugh!!! She is the worst 1w

Bklover You‘re correct! There really isn‘t a man in this book who isn‘t a bit thick in the head. @mcctrish 1w

julieclair These comments are cracking me up! 😂😂😂 1w

#ranttime Sorry to interrupt, but this just happened.
President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening that US military forces had dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear facilities, ending a weeklong deliberation period over joining Israel‘s campaign against Tehran and thrusting the United States squarely into an escalating Middle East conflict (CNN).

I have no comments (yet), just facts.

RowReads1 I can‘t 🤦🏻‍♀️ 4w

Susanita Thank you for your attention to this matter. 4w

Deblovestoread Because that's how you win a Noble Peace Prize. Sorry for the flippant response. I can't wrap my head around the horror of it all. 🤯🤬🤯 4w

Eggbeater Congress is supposed to declare wars, aren't they? I feel sick. I don't want any humans to be hurt. 4w

Cupcake12 There are no words 4w

Prairiegirl_reading This is just so sickening. 4w

Aims42 😔💔 I have no words, I‘m speechless and sick to my stomach 4w

Librarybelle It‘s horrifying 4w

dabbe @RoyReads1 @Susanita @Deblovestoread @Eggbeater @Cupcake12 @Prairiegirl_reading @Aims42 @Librarybelle I know I'm supposed to be happy and post about happy books and happy pets, but how can we ignore this? History is happening before our eyes, and history is a genre in reading. According to MSNBC, he did this without any congressional approval. And his message tonight leaves A LOT unanswered. #wtf? 😤 4w

Aims42 @dabbe I didn‘t even bother watching his message, I knew it wouldn‘t be coherent and nothing would be answered 🙄 The US is being run by a 7 year old upset that nobody came to his birthday parade. Please also know that you don‘t have to be happy and post about happy books & pets all the time. You‘re right, history is happening and we can‘t ignore it. We gotta take care of each other ♥️♥️♥️♥️ (edited) 4w

Eggbeater My books are sometimes political, and I need to know that I'm not alone right now, so thank you. 4w

IriDas This is so terrible. No congressional approval. Going to war, for what? His ego. You don‘t always have to be happy. We live in a terrible timeline and ignoring this reality is only for the privileged. 4w

FashionableObserver God help us all. Congress needs to put a stop to this. There are legal, constitutional ways to do so. We need to contact our representatives en masse. This is bad. In fact, this may be as bad as it gets, I fear. 4w

MemoirsForMe I appreciate you letting us know. I‘m speechless. 🤯😩 4w

BarbaraJean I can‘t either right now. I saw this news, read a few headlines and had to stop. Also: I appreciate that you don‘t only post about happy things. These are not happy times, although God knows I need to look for joy where I can in the midst of this madness. There is a place for happy posts and there is a place for keeping it real and Litsy can be both. Thank you for doing both! 💜 (edited) 4w

Jari-chan Can't put a Like at this post, because I really don't like what's happening... 😩 4w

5feet.of.fury Reminds me of Bush saying Iraq had wmds to justify the invasion. This is atrocious. So much for “the Peace President” 4w

LiseWorks Wow! I knew he couldn't help himself 4w

julesG I have no words. Just letters. TF? WTAF? 4w

AnnCrystal I expected it, yet couldn't believe it. I'm just going to say the word that needs to be said, “Impeach!“ 😢🙏🏼. 4w

Bookwormjillk I intentionally let my phone die last night. This is just horrifying. 4w

AmyG I have many thoughts on this. God help us all. 4w

Bookwomble 😥 4w

Amiable @Eggbeater Amen. I‘m with you. Reading is political. Banning books brings politics into the reading sphere. And like @dabbe said, history is being written as we speak. We should not ever be made to feel like we can‘t post anything about what‘s happening in the world. 4w

Roary47 I was at two dance recitals for my girls and left that high to see this. I also didn‘t watch his speech. I‘m worried what this will mean. I‘m glad you are being real. We need to stick together in good times and bad. Praying for safety for us all because of one man‘s actions. 🥺 4w

dabbe @Aims42 Thank you for this. I needed it. ♥️♥️♥️ 4w

dabbe @Eggbeater You are not! We need to stick together now more than ever! BTW, I just followed you! 🤩😍🤗 4w

dabbe @IriDas W🤩WZA. Well said, and thank you! 🩵🎯🩵 4w

dabbe @FashionableObserver I fear that it could get even worse. And you're right; I'm contacting my representatives. Thanks for the reminder. 💙♥️💙 4w

dabbe @LiseWorks As @Aims42 said, no one came to his horrific birthday parade, so he's taking his anger out on the whole world. 😤 4w

dabbe @Roary47 Thank you; this means so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the recitals; finding the good in life is more important now than ever. 💙♥️💙 4w

dabbe @Aims42 Currently, it's 92º, but it's not even noon. Sending 🤗😍🤗 right back to ya! 4w

Aims42 @dabbe 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 4w

AmyG You‘ll love this one. I just read someone calling him Emperor Hirocheeto. 🤣 4w

JenlovesJT47 💙❤️💙 4w

PuddleJumper This is truly the darkest timeline. This has been the only thing on our news in the UK. There's a lot of anger over what may happen, what we may get pulled into, because a foreign leader is delusional and having a dick swinging contest against people that think he's a moron. 4w

AnnCrystal @dabbe ✊🏼🐻🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲. 4w

dabbe @AmyG OMG. Adding that one to the list: #emphirocheeto 🤣 4w

TheBookHippie @5feet.of.fury EXACTLY 3w

TheBookHippie @AmyG OMG 🤣 3w

TheBookHippie @Aims42 as I rule I never watch him. 3w

Aims42 @TheBookHippie It‘s a new rule for me, zero regrets 👍 I actually just followed an account on Threads that they put his “speech” transcript over his face and muted it so you didn‘t have to see or hear him but still knew what was being said 😆 That account got followed so fast by me lol Finding the balance between being informed and sane is very tricky 😵‍💫🥴🤢 3w

TheBookHippie @Aims42 oh that‘s a good idea and yes I just read the transcript. And that makes me sick. 🤦🏻‍♀️😵‍💫 3w

Aims42 @TheBookHippie I know, right? 🥴🤢🤮 3w

AmyG @Aims42 @TheBookHippie We mute him. It‘s all bullsh** anyway. 3w

Aims42 @AmyG 👍👍👍👍👍👍 it 100% is 3w

TheBookHippie @AmyG it sure is. 3w

TheAromaofBooks My inclination is to like Cynthia, but we'll have to see if she ends up taking advantage of Molly's good nature. 1mo

Bookwormjillk I surprised myself by liking Cynthia today. This is a long book huh? 1mo

mcctrish I don‘t not like Cynthia but anyone who says they don‘t love anyone but will choose to love Molly seems a bit sketch 1mo

ElizaMarie @Ruthiella and the whole sending her away immediately after her daddy died - that Mrs G is not maternal at all!!!! 1mo

Bklover I‘m with all of you! Cynthia seems wonderful in spite of the neglect of her mother. Hope it holds up! A teeny bit concerned that they might end up wanting the same guy. @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Hmm, I‘m reserving judgment on Cynthia. I like her forthrightness, but I‘m nervous about her saying she doesn‘t love anyone! 1mo

dabbe I have finally caught up! 🤣🤣🤣 Whew! 😅 Cynthia reminds me of Estella in GREAT EXPECTATIONS: icily cold and knows it. I'm reserving judgment on her as well, though I do like her WAY more than her mother. Holy guacamole on her! 4w

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I‘m trying to figure out if Mrs. Gibson would be upset or pleased??? 🤔 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Oh! I didn't even think of that! 1mo

mcctrish @Cuilin this was my first thought too!!!!cuz if daughter is anything like her mother she‘d be bleeding the boy dry 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Ooh, that makes sense! She‘s definitely too low-born for his dad so that would be why he has to keep her secret. 1mo

Cuilin @mcctrish exactly!!! 1mo

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I think she might have been pleased before Osborne destroyed the family fortune. 😏 1mo

rubyslippersreads I was worried that Molly would go home without any books. (The worst fate a Litten could imagine!) I‘m glad Roger chose some for her. 1mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin ooooooo I hope it is her! That would be a perfect twist and explain the $$$$ 1mo

Bklover @rubyslippersreads Me too! I wondered why she set them down. I‘d take as many as I could carry!😉😂 1mo

The Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

pick

A richly detailed and emotionally complex novel that explores themes of family, societal expectations, personal freedom, and the tension between individual desires and communal obligations. Eliot presents flawed characters with nuanced motivations, making their conflicts deeply human. ⬇️

dabbe However, so much time was spent developing the characters, town, and story, that I felt the ending to be almost too abrupt and melodramatic. And a major #wtf ending! 😱 While imperfect, it remains a moving and thought-provoking work. 2mo

julieclair Excellent review. 2mo

Bklover Love your review!! 2mo

dabbe @julieclair @Bklover TY! 😍🤩🤗 2mo

Anyway, thanks to the #HashtagBridgage and @BarkingMadRead fpr hosting :) I wouldn't have been able to finish this one alone.

My baby Lazlo

Bookwormjillk That ending was one of the worst I‘ve ever read 2mo
