dabbe @Texreader I have yet to read anything by Butler; she's now on my list! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @TheLudicReader You do read a LOT! Most of these are ancient, I mean (ahem) classics. You beat my sorry ass this week! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Better than me! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk And they were on our high school “to-read“ lists and are still there! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @rwmg Ya whipped me this week! 🙌🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Amiable So did I! I have to admit that my head was sometimes buried in Cliff's Notes. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @tpixie You're in good company; my score was 18! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @melissajayne Never read OBASAN; I put it on the TBR. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @DGRachel I still can't believe I've never read anything by McCarthy. You've inspired me! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Deblovestoread YW! 😘 2w

dabbe @kspenmoll Ya whopped my sorry butt! MACBETH's my favorite Shakespearean play of all time. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Catsandbooks I say you should count those and redo! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me You should count 'em! 🤩 2w

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me Ya whooped my sorry butt! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @thebacklistbook Yay, you! I need more Shakespeare in my life. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Mollyanna @Amiable Same here! Maybe we should have an AP English buddy read! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Eggs 😘 2w

dabbe @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Yay, you! Can we count them if we recognize them? 🤔🤩😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

DGRachel @dabbe You can go wrong with No Country for Old Men, but I would avoid The Passenger and Stella Maris duology. This reminds me the Blood Meridian is still on my TBR. I really need to get to that one… 2w

Amiable @dabbe I do honestly toy with the idea of going back and reading all of those classics that I was supposed to have read but instead managed to get through AP English armed only with a cursory review of Cliff's Notes and a winning smile for my teacher. 😄 2w

dabbe @DGRachel Good to know! I've been scared to read him! 😅 Thanks. 🤗 2w

dabbe @Amiable I wish we had been in the same class together. We would have been #incahoots! 🤩😂🤗 2w

DGRachel @dabbe I totally meant cannot go wrong with No Country. Just know it‘s violent. The Road is probably his best known and it‘s excellent but depressing. 2w

Amiable @dabbe OMG, my English teacher was legendary! On the 1st day of class she told how she escaped Budapest during the Hungarian revolution in 1956 by swimming across the Danube with a backpack holding only a change of clothes and “Hamlet.“ Kind of hard to complain about Shakespeare after that! She also claimed to be a judge for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Found out years later from her obit that she actually was! She scared the bejesus out of us. 2w

willaful 13 for me. Not many favs other than Pride and Prejudice, though I was really into One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest back in the day. 2w

tpixie @Amiable what an amazing resilient teacher you had! 2w

Mollyanna @Amiable Your teacher sounds amazing! 2w

Amiable @tpixie @Mollyanna We did not appreciate her at the time! She was intense and had sky-high expectations for us. We were all afraid of her, mostly. 😄 But now I can credit her for the success I‘ve had in college, grad school and my career. I can draw a straight line from the things I learned in her class to today —40 years later. 2w

tpixie @Amiable that‘s amazing. I think that happens with teachers- it‘s not until we reflect on our life that we can appreciate their impact 🩵🤍🩵 2w

dabbe @DGRachel Fabulous advice. I will file these emotions away, and when I'm ready, I'll give him a try! 🤩 2w

dabbe @Amiable She sounds like an incredible woman. She could have penned her own memoir/autobiography! 🤩 2w

dabbe @willaful P&P is my fave Austen. I've even read some horrible pastiches just to revisit Darcey and Elizabeth in as many ways as I could! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Amiable I also was terrified of my AP English teacher. She gave me a “C“ on my 1st essay. I had NEVER received a C in anything in English. I ran to my mom in the library (she worked at my high school) and begged her to get me out of her class. “No way,“ was her reply. “You've finally met someone who's going to take you out of your comfort zone.“ Ms. Wogan was the only teacher I came back to visit my 1st weekend home from college. 🩶 2w

MonicaLoves2Read I have read 12, 6 in High School 6 in College 2w

Kitta Read 12, this list is very different from my reading list in school! My favourite would have to be the Picture of Dorian Gray, which I read on my own time in University. I have an Oscar Wilde tattoo 😂 so probably no surprise there. 2w

dabbe @MonicaLoves2Read #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

dabbe @Kitta DORIAN is one of my top 3 from this list as well! I'd love to see your tattoo, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 (edited) 2w

Kitta @dabbe it‘s a nightingale and a rose, 🥀 🐦 from the short story! I‘ll post a picture if I can, it‘s on my inner bicep so hard to photograph 😂 2w

dabbe @Kitta 🤩🤗🤩 2w

PurpleyPumpkin 23/100, not bad! Favourites are The Picture of Dorion Grey, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Obasan. Always fun to do these, thanks for the tag!💜 1w

AnishaInkspill thanks for the tag 😍 1w

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin Better than my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩶🩷🩶 1w

dabbe @AnishaInkspill YW! 🤗 1w
