Parrot and Olivier in America | Peter Carey

Peter Carey is never going to be a favorite, but I do admire him even if I don‘t love him. This started off well but became baggy in the middle. A French aristocrat travels to antebellum America to ostensibly writes treatise on American prisons but really to escape political threats. He‘s accompanied by Englishman Parrot, a nominal servant but very much his own man and with a tragic past.

BarbaraBB I didn‘t like this one much while I loved

Oscar & Lucinda

Ruthiella @BarbaraBB This is the third book of his I‘ve read. Oscar and Lucinda was the first and I still have THREE other books of his on my physical shelves. 😅 3w

BarbaraBB Why?! I won‘t read any more by him. I didn‘t like the book you read and neither did I like

True History of the Kelly Gang

Ruthiella @BarbaraBB I collected them all before I‘d ever read him because I have a good friend who really likes his work. They‘re all beautiful first editions that I thrifted so I will need to find them good homes. 3w

Fabulous Facts about the Fifty States | Wilma S. Ross

Late but I had to join in this #TakeThreeThursday because I play Statele everyday & have gotten really good about knowing the shapes of the states (except for Colorado & Wyoming which when you see them one at a time look exactly the same to me.🤷🏻‍♀️)

Anyway, I blew my first attempt & missed 3 because of my fat fingers & the tiny Eastern states so I zoomed way in on my second try & got 100%! 🎉

Sargar114 You mean you can‘t tell the two squares apart??? lol 4w

dabbe #bravo! I messed up with my fat fingers, too! Plus all the states that look like squares--especially the ones in the middle ... yikes! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 4w

Fun! (Super fiddly to navigate on my phone, though.) I‘ve always been a map geek —when I was a kid, I wanted to be a cartographer once I learned what that word meant.

dabbe Excellent!!! I knew you'd knock it out of the ballpark! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁🤎 1mo

Amiable @dabbe A lot of people get tripped up by our tiny little New England states! It‘s easier when you live in said tiny states. 😀 Although sometimes I have to stare at the map and really think, “ok, which of those square states is Wyoming, again?” 1mo

kspenmoll Congratulations!!! 🎉 1mo

BookmarkTavern Woohoo! 🎉🎉🎉 1mo

dabbe @Amiable Oh, yes! The square states! Too many to count! And does Nebraska go above Kansas or the other way around? Gets me every time. 🧡🍁🤎 4w

BkClubCare @dabbe - (pssst! Just like North Dakota is above South Dakota, Nebraska is NORTH of Kansas. Does that help? The N!! For north…) 3w

dabbe @BkClubCare Excellent mnemonic assist! Thank you! ♥️🍁🤎 3w

My 8th graders were just doing this in social studies a few weeks ago and they made me take it! I only got 4 wrong… the small east coast states trip me up!

#ttt @dabbe

Ruthiella Me too! It‘s the little states I can‘t recognize by shape. 😂 1mo

dabbe Exactly! Me, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙🇺🇸🤍 1mo
