mcctrish Can Tom be mad once he hears all the details ? Phil loves Maggie so much he makes his dad get the mill back into Tom‘s hands - seems like enough to me but Tom likes to punish so maybe not #cutoffhisnosetospitehisface (edited) 6mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Oh, I bet Tom can find a way to be mad. 🙄 6mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly 😂😂 6mo

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I'm fully expecting Tom to be too proud to accept the mill once he finds out Phillip was involved 🙄 6mo

Clare-Dragonfly Yeah, that‘s my thought as well. 😖 6mo

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks you aren‘t wrong 6mo

Bookwormjillk Tom will stop being mad once he finds a way to take credit for the whole thing 6mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly @TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk
I have to kind of bag on Maggie here. Her indecision is what's affecting everyone. She's not being truthful with anyone regarding her real feelings for Phil (which is NOT romantic love) and Stephen (which is sexual desire and maybe love). ⬇️ 6mo

dabbe And re: the hand-arm kissing, what enrages her most is that “Stephen thought more lightly of her than he did of Lucy.“ Thus, she has been unconsciously thinking of her cousin as a rival, and she is angry that the disputed lover seems to treat her with less respect than he does her blonde cousin. #mytwocents 6mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe you are so right 6mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk true dat and @dabbe Maggie needs to go to her situation and take a breather 6mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🤩 6mo

dabbe @mcctrish 🎯🩵🎯 6mo

ElizaMarie @Dabbe I agree with these statements. I feel like Maggie not being honest about her feelings allows others to act in ways that can appear problematic. Maggie needs to grow a backbone. 6mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie She's the 19th-century damsel in distress. 🤣 6mo

Leftcoastzen I‘m with @dabbe on Maggie. I also think Tom will react badly to the mill situation, he always does. 6mo

dabbe @Leftcoastzen 🎯🩵🎯 6mo

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! 6mo

Bookwormjillk I know I read this chapter but I don‘t remember a bit. #MovingOn 6mo

dabbe Agree 💯 @BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Leftcoastzen @KAO @Bookwormjillk #shadesoflarkrise #boring 🥱🫩😴💤 6mo

Ruthiella It was a lot of bla bla bla only to show that Mr. Tulliver is unchristian in thought, if not in deed. 6mo

Everyday Goodbyes: Starting School and Early Care : a Guide to the Separation Process | Nancy Balaban

On a personal note, I have an exit interview today as I leave my elementary school library job and move to a new position in a high school library. I‘m excited to try a new challenge (and to read all the YA!), but ugh - I am so not looking forward to today. #staystrong #yougotthis #movingon

Avanders Congrats and good luck with the transition! 🙏🏽 4y

bailed

Welp, I am officially bailing on this audiobook. I may or may not pick it up again in the future, but I found myself checking out while listening. I struggled to read the book 20 years ago. Apparently, it‘s the book I have issues with, not the format. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #movingon

bailed

It isn‘t often that I bail on a book. And I waited so long for the hold to come in! But I‘m just not into this story right now. So, I‘ve returned it to the library and placed it on hold again. Sigh. #movingon #dnf

Eggbeater I didn't get that far into it either. I was bored. 6y

PurpleyPumpkin @Eggbeater Glad I wasn‘t the only one. I only got to Chapter 6! And I‘d heard many good things. I think it just wasn‘t the right time for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 6y

AceOnRoam I wanted to bail, but I kept reading. I should have bailed!!! 6y

Princess-Kingofkings I listened to it as an audiobook and loved it! 6y

BridgetteM I didn‘t like it either. It‘s been so popular this year that I was surprised by how how much I didn‘t like it. 6y

The Turn of the Key | Ruth Ware

Ehh, I may be giving up on this one. My book club picked it. I gave it about 50 pages, but if we‘re being honest, I‘m kind of over the unreliable narrator who‘s been accused of a crime that we don‘t know if she committed or not because we only get her account of the story. I have so many other books waiting for me. #movingon 🤷‍♀️

cathysaid Yes!!! That sort of narration has bothered me for a while. It‘s been done. And done. And done again. Enough! 6y

KT1432 I hate the unreliable narrator trope. I really liked this one but I think the audio version really enhanced it. Not sure it would have hit the same in print. 🤔 6y

Erinreadsthebooks @lele1432 I think you‘re right. My coworker really loved the audio version, too. 6y

Erinreadsthebooks @cathysaid Yes, preach!!! 🙌 And they‘ll keep publishing and marketing these books, and BOTM will keep choosing them as options...It‘s a vicious, never ending cycle. 6y

so-so

Well, that's done. Mostly, we see how accessible we are via social media, everyone has secrets... oh and lots of sex. So uncomfortable... I don't get the whole #TeamJoe thing. Those people have a lot of issues to work out!!! This was kind of like American Psycho Lite.

Tanisha_A I watched the series, and yes I hate that man! 6y

Soubhiville Yep, I‘m with you and @Cinfhen ! 6y

Cinfhen Did u watch the series @Soubhiville ?? Joe was too likable and Beck was kind of annoying me 😬so I thought I should just let it be and live with the book. Also did you read

Hidden Bodies

BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m really debating ... this one is on my shelf and I wonder what I‘ll think. Maybe after Mr. B comes back from his upcoming trip. Wouldn‘t want to read it alone in my house! Right? @cinfhen @soubhiville (edited) 6y

Soubhiville @Cinfhen I tried! I think I watched 3-4 episodes before I was too creeped out to continue. And I didn‘t feel it gave quite the same impression of Joe as the book. I haven‘t read any of her other books yet. Worth it? 6y

Soubhiville @BarbaraTheBibliophage I would not read this when home alone! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Soubhiville 👊🏻😱 Thanks! 6y

Cinfhen Hidden Bodies was not as good as YOU but I‘m happy I read it. I hated her newest book @Soubhiville

Providence: A Novel

Cinfhen I was gonna say go for it @BarbaraTheBibliophage because you‘re my #RebelReader 😎♥️ 6y

Soubhiville Lol @Cinfhen and @BarbaraTheBibliophage , I may be wimpier than you! If I‘d read You while home alone, I would have been incredibly paranoid that someone was following me or especially trying to watch me through my windows! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Soubhiville @Cinfhen I dunno. This one might make me #lessofarebel. And it‘s no hardship to wait a week. 🤪 6y

IamIamIam If you guys have anyone in mind I can pass this on to, I'm happy to snail mail it out!!! @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @Soubhiville And I really didn't like Providence at all. It had a lot of potential and a good build up but it fizzled out quick. It was creepy but low level creepy for me. I'm more comfortable with dismemberment than dirty sex talk so I was just squirmy a lot of the time! 😂 6y

Cinfhen You‘ll always be my #rebelreader @BarbaraTheBibliophage 🙌🏻 I‘m so glad I‘m not the only one who thought Providence was a train wreck @IamIamIam @Chrissyreadit was looking for a #socialmediafocus book... maybe she‘ll want to read your copy!?? 6y

IamIamIam @Cinfhen Oh great!! I have a box of books to send her already so this will be my push to actually getb to the post office!! LOL, @Chrissyreadit I'll stop in on Monday and send that off. I made the kids go through their shelves last week too! 💓 6y

Chrissyreadit @IamIamIam @Cinfhen I do not think I would like You. I think it would also stress me out a ton. Thanks for your books for my #freelibrary I can‘t tell you how much these books are supporting a community. 6y

Cinfhen Awww, I love that @IamIamIam has gifted books to your #LittleFreeLibrary @Chrissyreadit 🧡🧡🧡 6y

IamIamIam @Chrissyreadit No worries! I'll post the book & see if anyone bites. I'm sure it's going to be tough to pass on around here... 🤣 I love passing on our books!! We donate through the school but they get redistributed through different communities. Keeping up with Chrissy, I can see the impact we're making. 💓💓 6y

Unclaimed Baggage | Jen Doll

bailed

Alright, I'm giving up at 1/3 of the way in. I like YA, but not YA that toes the line of being silly. There were some bright spots in this book (chapters narrated by Grant and the idea of a store selling contents of left behind suitcases) but most of it (especially chapters narrated by Doris) was too juvenile for my taste. I like my YA to not realize it's YA. ✌🏼#movingon
