#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

Now we're near Halloween. How many of these candies have you tried?

Share your score (if you want). List 3 faves/3 hates/3 you thought should have been here/3 whatever-you-wants. Tagging a few. ALL are more than welcome to play! 👻🎃💀

Survey: https://www.listchallenges.com/100-halloween-candies

Karisa 90 😅 I guess I like candy a bit too much. 🍫🍭🍬 Favorites on here for me are Whoppers, Lindt Truffles, and Twix Yum! One I would love to try someday is a licorice pipe after reading about them in the Gamache/Three Pines books. I‘m surprised that Good and Plenty wasn‘t there (another fav of mine). 1mo
dabbe Ooh, how could they have left off Good and Plenty? Now I want those! Thanks for sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Well that‘s the best I‘ve ever done on one of these things! 😆 I got 96. 1mo

AnnCrystal 🥳👍🏼 Thanks for the tag 😋🍫💝. 1mo
Bookwomble 22 - I don't have a particularly sweet tooth, and (not unreasonable) a lot of that confectionery is North American and not really available in Britain. I only got 22 because of a New York visit many years ago when I tried a few sweets I've seen on TV shows 😊 1mo
Sparklemn I got 91. I‘m proud and disgusted in equal measure. Faves are Nerds, Skittles, and Tootsie pops. 🤓 Least faves are circus peanuts, all licorice, and candy cigarettes. 🚬 1mo
Dilara I ticked the brands that are sold in Europe/UK or things that looked similar to sweets I know. I hesitated on Milky Way: we have a product with this name, but the packaging looks completely different... Anyway, I got 28%, which is lower than most of you, unsurprisingly 😄
ETA: my favourite from the list is m&ms peanuts (how I love them 😻). Everything else I like I can take or leave. I hate Cadbury's creme eggs.
(edited) 1mo
thebacklistbook 62/100....how am I still alive after all that sugar! Some of these I've never heard of. 1mo
Blueberry 70 of 100. All the chocolates are my favorite. Especially Cadbury Easter Eggs and Hershey's Dark Chocolate. 🍫 1mo
LiseWorks 66 out of 100, I'm not a candy person but I've tried a lot, and some here have brought back childhood memories. I will always go for those Worthers and tootsie rolls 😋 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Finally a list I can pass! 😂 94/100! But if I only checked off the ones I actually LIKE instead of the ones I've TRIED my score wouldn't be quite so good haha 1mo
MaGoose 64 out of 100. I don't eat much candy anymore, but a lot of those on the list brought back memories. 🤔😋 1mo
eeclayton I got 16, I had actually expected a worse score coming from a non-trick-or-treater country 😁 1mo
Librarybelle 66/100 for me! I love Pretzel M&M‘s, and of course I have to be loyal to Hershey products since I live not too far from the town (though lots of the manufacturing has moved to Mexico, so the town doesn‘t always smell like chocolate anymore). I‘m also rather partial to Lindt Lindor candies. 😂 1mo
Amor4Libros 79! Faves: Sour Patch Kids, Blow Pop and Peanut M&M‘s 1mo
ElizaMarie 88% ooo you reminded me of the Runts I used to love them! 1mo
Mollyanna 91/100. Some nostalgic ones on here… runts, razzles, warheads. My score would be much lower if I only checked those I like now such as…special dark, twizzlers (although I really prefer Australian licorice), Twix. 1mo
Jari-chan 26/100 - many of those are not available in Switzerland. Now I'm hungry... 1mo
Cuilin 42/100 the cigarette candy was such a throwback to the 70‘s 😆 Is it still a thing? My favourites are Milka, Toblerone and Twix. 1mo
Cuilin @Dilara the American Milky Way has a caramel and nougat center something similar to a Mars bar, the UK/ROI one is a softer lighter nougat more like an Americsn Musketeers candy bar. The Whoppers are Malteeezers. (edited) 1mo
Dilara @Cuilin Thanks! In that case, I should remove Milky Way and add Whoppers/Maltesers, which means my score is unchanged 😁 1mo
ravenlee I got 77/100 which makes me sound like a sugar addict, but so many of them I tried once or twice as a kid/adolescent. I mean, I love a good mini candy bar, don‘t get me wrong, but have definitely lost my taste for things like Warheads 😆 1mo
Bookwormjillk I got 91% 😂 Favorites are whatever someone has left in the break room candy bowl at the moment- currently Heath Bars. 1mo
melissajayne 36; I haven‘t seen a lot of these in Canada. Could I be tagged? And when are we going to do books again? 1mo
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Bookwomble Of course NA would have all the confection, right? Though Britain has some pretty spectacular sweets, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Sparklemn Ugh to your ugh choices, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Dilara Totally agree with you on peanut M&Ms (they were my dad's favorite), and UGH to Cadbury's creme eggs. Just no. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @thebacklistbook Sugar, sugar everywhere! IKR? Some of them I was like, these have to have been made recently! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Blueberry We always treasured the chocolate bars when we'd trick or treat. The grosser stuff we'd get to usually by November! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @LiseWorks I adore tootsie rolls, even though my expensive dental work doesn't! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Same here! Trying doesn't mean liking, right? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @MaGoose And a lot of my memories were along the lines of, “How could I have ever eaten that?“ 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @eeclayton And you know all of this candy is all about Halloween. I was actually surprised that the person who created the list actually found 100 different kinds! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Librarybelle I have never tried the Pretzel M&M's; I bet they are yummy! Salt and sugar = perfect combo! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Amor4Libros I'm impressed you like the Sour Patch Kids; my face puckered up too much with those! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @ElizaMarie Yay for the memories! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Mollyanna IKR? So many are just way too sugary for us adults who've moved from milk to dark chocolate! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Jari-chan Leave it to the USA to have this much sugar. No wonder we're crazy! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Cuilin I wonder! To think that we would PLAY at SMOKING! And it was cool! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Dilara I say keep both and bump up your score! 😂 1mo
dabbe @ravenlee Amen, sista! All that super sugary stuff today? #noway! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk Ooh, I love Heath Bars!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @melissajayne Of course, I'll tag you! And what kind of book surveys do you like? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
Amiable 86 for me. There are several that I haven‘t eaten because I know I don‘t like the flavor (i.e. I‘m not a fan of lemon, etc). I do love me a Snickers bar! And I‘m still addicted to gummy bears even though I‘m old enough to know better because they are terrible for your teeth. 😬😀 1mo
DrSabrinaMoldenReads 65 for me. I beat the average on one challenge at least for a change. I cannot keep enough Starburst for my granddaughters. 😂 I know they kinda came from me but I can‘t figure out how they cannot like chocolate. (edited) 1mo
DrSabrinaMoldenReads I still have my candy stash beside my bed. 1mo
Sparklemn @Cuilin Milka was the only candy I didn‘t recognize. I love Toblerone, too. 1mo
dabbe @Amiable My teeth tremble at the sight of one gummy bear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I bet they will as they get older. I did the same thing! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 1mo
dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads 🧡💜💛 1mo
Dilara @dabbe Thank you for tagging me!
I was wondering... are Cadbury's creme eggs a normal thing for Halloween? I thought they were only ever sold around Easter time.
1mo
nanuska_153 I only got 27, but not because of my lack of love for sugar. Most of those don't exist in Ireland. Probably would have got 100% if it was sweets from here 😅 1mo
dabbe @Dilara YW! They have spooky Halloween eggs, too. Guess they'd be crazy not to cash in at Halloween, too, right? 😂😍😂 1mo
dabbe @nanuska_153 Yeah, it was definitely based on America's tastes. Sorry about that! What's your most popular candy in Ireland? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo

After two months of chaos, finally having a chance to catch up on posting.
This book won‘t be for everyone with its frank discussion of the author‘s partner‘s terminal illness and death. She describes the uncomfortable experiences and feelings, including her attraction to another man during this period. Orstavik is confident in going to places many memoirs would not.

This novella is a heartache that reads like a fever dream. The ghosts are haunting. (Pun intended.)

Cathythoughts Stacking 👍🏻❤️ 4mo
Tamra @Cathythoughts it reminds me a bit of the Calculation of Volume series in that the MC cannot move on/forward. 4mo

I read Orstavik‘s Love a while ago and was eager to try another of her books, so I preordered this one in advance of its release. The story centers on the narrator - a woman whose father was deeply abusive and who recently lost the man she loves - and her current, volatile relationship with a much younger man. There is also a story-within-a-story as the main character is an author. A meditation on the impact of abuse and the choice to be set free.

A man is trying to figure out his father‘s life from papers, letters and old photographs. From his childhood in Egypt, boarding with strangers to attend school outside Oslo and boarding school in Geneva, and as he gets older WWII draws closer.

I just saw an interview with the author on Swedish television and he talked about how he had looked at the inheritance of loneliness and don‘t belonging.

AnneCecilie This didn‘t win a Norwegian book prize, but Nordic Council‘s Literature Prize of 2024 9mo
