mcctrish What to do, what to do? I love how Stephen is mad at Maggie #whatamaroon 5d

Ruthiella I feel like Stephen crossed a line there by showing up and it makes me mad. He‘s putting Maggie in a bad situation-one he can walk away from as a man, but she as a woman cannot live down. She will be unfairly judged either way. 5d

mcctrish @Ruthiella and it‘s not the first time either 🤬 Phillip has noticed and he isn‘t blameless either #tomisgoingtolosehisshit #andstillblamemaggie 5d

TheAromaofBooks Side note, still trying to figure out why the heck Tom is the most important person in Maggie's life. Let's make all our decisions based on what the judgmental jerk who treats you like trash will think 🙄 5d

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!! I mean how close do you have to stay with your mean brother? She needs to choose her own family. 5d

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I agree and it is frustrating. I think Eliot is telling us that Maggie‘s bond with her brother is stronger than any other ( other than to her father, now deceased). 5d

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks YES!! Granted the rest of that family would side with him if he tells them to, but Maggie has proven that she can survive on her own. Gritty is the only one who makes sense in this book. 5d

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks women just being programmed by the patriarchy to do what the men in the family say ( Maggie needs Tom more than he needs her ) 5d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk she totally has proven she can survive on her own 5d

dabbe The Stephen-Maggie thing has RUTH vibes all over it. Don't give in, Maggie! If only it were the 2020s! 😱 5d

Clare-Dragonfly Ugh! I am SO mad at Stephen now! How dare he show up and tell her she has to talk to him because his poor little manly fee-fees are hurt. How dare he blame her for him riding thirty miles a day about it. Get over yourself, dude. 😡😡😡😡🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 4d

Clare-Dragonfly This bit reminded me of the chapter of Little Women where they have a similar bazaar and all the snobby ladies are jealous of Amy so they send her to a crappy flower stall and sell her artwork themselves. So Laurie gets her better flowers and brings all his friends to buy up all her art 😂 Anyway, Maggie is doing the exact right thing by going off to another situation, but I fear more drama will ensue anyway. 6d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly Omg I was thinking the same thing! 6d

ElizaMarie Lucy not understanding the fact that Maggie has to go to work - 🙄 6d

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

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! 1w

tpixie Do you recommend the annotated version for a first time VW reader? 1w

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

TheAromaofBooks This chapter made me sad because it doesn't seem like there is any way that this is actually going to end up being a happy situation 3w

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I share your trepidation! I feel like a cloud is hanging over everyone…lightning is coming…😬 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Sheesh, all these things they can‘t do because it would make Tom or #tetchytully mad! 3w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m not sure #snakeywakey would approve either but getting them together would solve everything #gettheteapotsback 3w

ElizaMarie @TheAromaOfBooks I also thought this chapter was so sad. It sucks that Maggie and Phillip can't live their lives without their families being all butt hurt. Very #RomeoAndJuliet vibes here. Also poor girl #MaggieREAD please girl, go back to books! 3w

Leftcoastzen Made me sad too. Maggie is painfully aware of her diminished station in life ,trying to muddle through. A cloud hanging over everything, so true. Every relationship is tainted by the drama of the past. 3w

julieclair @mcctrish You are seriously cracking me up with your #TeapotCrusade ! 😂😂😆😘 3w
