#DynamicDs

I really enjoyed this one, where books & book banning become a #Divisive issue in a small Georgia town. 📚

#divisive

I am so sorry for any offense I caused with my original image. I was in a dark place today, and this word really threw me off the proverbial cliff. I'll stay away from words that are triggers for me in the future.

AmyG That‘s quite the crowd. 😬 1mo
Melismatic No disagreement here lol 1mo
dabbe @AmyG It was a difficult one to do and look at. Sorry for yours and everyone else's eyes. 👀 1mo

Leftcoastzen You going for the nasty prize ? 😄 1mo
dabbe @Leftcoastzen My sincerest apologies if it came across as nasty—that wasn‘t the intent. But it‘s hard to deny that these figures spark strong, polarized reactions, which felt in line with the prompt. No malice meant, just an observation on how divisiveness unfortunately plays out in public discourse. I should have stuck to posting a fictional book that had the word in it--keeping it light so that no one was offended. Thanks for the gentle poke. 🙂 1mo
Hooked_on_books I didn‘t see your original post, but it‘s kinda sounding to me like you hit the nail on the head for divisive! 1mo
dabbe @Hooked_on_books I actually posted certain people's faces. #oy 🤦🏼‍♀️ 1mo
AmyG You caused me no offense, fyi. 1mo
Bookwomble Oh, man, I missed it! I so want to be offended by your post! 😄❤️ 1mo
TheLudicReader I didn‘t see the post but 🤷‍♀️…seems these days everyone is on the verge of getting their knickers in a knot over something. 😘😘 1mo
Leftcoastzen I wasn‘t the least bit offended! 1mo
Leftcoastzen THEY, offend me , not your post !😁 1mo
dabbe @AmyG 💙🩵💙 1mo
dabbe @Bookwomble I had pictures of 5 people: Trump, Musk, Kanye West, Ellen DeGeneres, and J.K. Rowling. Think any of them are divisive? 🧐🤣🧐 1mo
dabbe @TheLudicReader Now THERE'S a hashtag for the ages: #knittedknockers or #knottedknickers 💙🩵💙 1mo

TieDyeDude No one you mentioned show any empathy, remorse, or awareness of the impacts of their actions. You have no responsibility, IMO, to show them any tact or change anything to appease those who might have been upset with the post. You are not commenting on what they have done, and anyone who does not agree that they are divisive are not paying attention. ❤ 1mo
dabbe @TieDyeDude I guess I'm so afraid of offending anyone these days, and I shouldn't be. You called it EXACTLY regarding those five. Thanks for making me see that and giving me more strength to post the truth, no matter how #divisive it may be. Wake up, people! ♥️ 1mo

The Alchemist | Paulo Coelho
post image

These two novels - seem to either be loved or hated. Tried Alchemist x2 book, bailed. Listened to audio all of it - still don‘t like it. Read Catcher when I was young, did nothing for me. Read it a few years ago, do not LOVE, but understand it better with its unique format and premise.

Thoughts?

ChaoticMissAdventures I didn't read the Alchemist until my 20s, and by then I had spent my late teens traveling, had gotten married and lived in 2 states with my husband. I have always thought that I had more world experience than the MC and so the book felt trite. I have always believed that some books need to be read super early before I become jaded. 😂 1mo
mrp27 I‘ve read Alchemist once, didn‘t like it and couldn‘t get into it. Read Catcher once as a teen and absolutely loved it. I want to reread but I‘m afraid an adult reread will spoil my love for it. 1mo
BooksandCoffee4Me Reading is a personal experience like eating — we can share the experiences in community, sampling each other‘s choices, but we don‘t have to order the same things in order to enjoy the shared experiences. It‘s actually encouraging when I find someone else who didn‘t care for books that are very popular and on some “should read” list. @Eggs, I‘m with you on both of these. 1mo
Kitta I read the alchemist as a teenager and found it okay, I didn‘t really see what the hype was about. The catcher in the rye I read for school (early teens) which always has a tendency to suck the life out of books for me, except for this one and 1984. Loved both of those. 1mo

Thought I would go a little controversial today with some of my #Divisive books that people seem to either love or hate and I am firmly on the hate side for these 😝

Eggs Great choices👏🏻👏🏻 1mo
bookishbitch I haven't read the others but I also hated Catcher in the Rye. 1mo
Kitta Oh really? I loved the goldfinch 😂 1mo
JuliaTheBookNerd @Kitta I tried 4 separate times to read it and just could not finish it. I can see how people would love it but just wasn‘t for me 😋 1mo
Kitta @JuliaTheBookNerd oh you made a good effort! It‘s okay to dnf a book! 1mo

squirrelbrain Hi Myra! Just thought I‘d let you know that the Backman didn‘t make it onto the camp longlist (due to publication date). Do you want to pick another one and tag me here so no-one else sees?! (The list is up to date now! 🤪) 1mo
GatheringBooks @squirrelbrain awwww that‘s too bad! 😭😭😭 i was super looking forward to it. I vote for this one instead 1mo
squirrelbrain Thank you! 🙏 1mo
