We do not care that we left yesterday for our vacation and drove four hours to northeastern Arizona only to realize when we got there that we had left ALL of Pippa's seizure medications on the table at home in Phoenix. 😳

P.S. Thankfully, after hours on the phone, her neurological vet was able to send all the prescriptions to a pharmacy up here so that Matt didn't have to spend eight hours today retrieving them. #deepbreaths 😮‍💨

TheBookHippie 😬🥴 so glad it ended well! 1d

lil1inblue Phew! Glad there's a happy ending! 1d

dabbe @TheBookHippie @lil1inblue @LiseWorks @Aims42 @AmyG @Susanita ... now if we can only get her to take the damn things. She usually gobbles them down in mini-lean-ground-beef meatballs, but she ain't having any of it now. And she's been whining the whole time we've been up here. #pippadontlikechange
😅😅😅 1d

TheBookHippie @dabbe WINNIE is just like this 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 1d

dabbe @TheBookHippie We're about at our wits end with her. We don't want to shove the pills down her throat, but man! She can be difficult! 😅 1d

TheBookHippie @dabbe flashbacks to squirt cheese with a pill in it 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 three of us trying to get the tiny pill in 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣 1d

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, Miss Winnie! 🖤🐾🖤 I'd try the squirt cheese, but she takes 24 pills a day. 😳 We cram three into each mini-meatball so she only has four because she's also a BIG girl. #oy 1d

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼 Glad you were able to pick up more 👸👏🏼🥺🙏🏼💝. 1d

Roary47 Whew! I‘m glad you found a solution that required no extra travel so you can all enjoy your trip. 1d

Texreader Oh the panic! 😱 so glad you were able to work it out. We have to take care of our babies!! 24h

dabbe @AnnCrystal We are, too! 😍🤩😍 22h

dabbe @Roary47 TY! She finally took the pills as part of her dinner! 😍🤩😍 22h

Feeling my age today. 😅

Rotator cuff tears
in two difference places.
Surgery to come.

TheBookHippie Ughhhhhhh it‘s so common menopause and post menopause!!! I‘m so so sorry…. Yuk 2w

AmyG Well that sucks. 2w

Susanita Ugh. I hope your healing goes smoothly. 2w

See All 82 Comments

AnnCrystal No...not during your Birthday Month. 🙏🏼 Heal well 💝💝💝. 2w

Amiable Ugh! I had rotator-cuff surgery about 10 years ago. Do you have a recliner? That was the most comfortable place to sleep for the first 8 weeks afterwards. 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie #thistooshallpassright #right? 😅 2w

dabbe @AmyG My primary doc would tell me that my body's letting me know I'm alive. #oy 🙄 2w

dabbe @Susanita #metoo (not the movement, well, you know!) 😂 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal IKR? #woeisme or is it #woeisi? 🤔 😅 2w

dabbe @Amiable No, I don't. 😩 Think I'll have to start looking for one. 😅 2w

JenlovesJT47 Ugh I‘m sorry! I have labral tears in both shoulders (and possibly my hip I dislocated 😣) so I know it‘s rough. Wishing you a successful surgery with many excellent books to keep you company afterwards. Dunno what I would have done all these years if I hadn‘t been working at an ortho doctors‘ office since I was 13 😆 (my mom works there still!!). 2w

AmyG Your primary doc needs a better bedside manner! 🤣 2w

TheBookHippie @Amiable oh yah I second the recliner!! 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh no!! That sounds so painful. I hope they can get you in soon and that it goes well. 2w

IriDas Ugh, sounds terrible. I hope the surgery is successful 2w

TheBookgeekFrau That just sucks 😖 2w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Are you just living with your tears? 😱 I can't even imagine. And what can be done with your dislocated hip? Do you hope it pops back into place? 😱 I'm feeling for ya! 💙 2w

dabbe @AmyG He's a wee bit younger. The bastard. 😂 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie @Amiable Good to know! Any recommendations? 2w

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I don't even get in to see him to chat about stuff until 7/22. Luckily, I have some pain meds. 😅 2w

dabbe @IriDas TY! 💙 2w

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau It does. But I'm still above the ground and not underneath it, so that's a plus! 😅 2w

TheBookHippie @dabbe I had frozen shoulder, but it‘s a lazy boy- friend currently borrowing -it but I made sure the material didn‘t make me too hot! 2w

Leftcoastzen Sorry you have to go through that ! 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie So no leather, right? 😂 2w

dabbe @Leftcoastzen TY! Another right of passage to being older and letting your German shepherd chase a bird and drag you to the ground. 😅 2w

Susanita Did you throw too many curve balls? 😉 2w

lil1inblue Oh, my! 😱 I hope that the surgery goes well and that you heal swiftly! But hopefully, you'll get some good guilt-free reading time! 2w

Amiable @TheBookHippie @dabbe I commandeered my husband‘s for the duration, to his dismay. 😄 I think it was a La-Z Boy also. We don‘t have it anymore. Which arm are you doing? Make sure that you can reach the lever with your good side! 😬 2w

Amiable Oh, also make sure to have a selection of big shirts that button up the front because you won‘t be putting your arm through a sleeve for a while. 2w

ShelleyBooksie Oh no! Boo on doggy related injuries! Sending you healing vibes ♡♡♡ 2w

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe thanks for asking! A dislocation didn‘t show on x-rays so I had to get an MRI. Seeing the doc next week. He thinks I might have a labral tear in my hip. That would be my luck for sure! Crutches kill me so I‘ve altered my gait & walk on my tiptoes on that side. Not fun. Sorry, that was probably more information than you were looking for! 😅 2w

Amiable And ask the surgeon when you can start PT —as soon as possible to avoid frozen shoulder if you can. Ask about passive PT where the therapist moves your slack arm around for you. 2w

AvidReader25 I‘m so sorry! Praying the surgery goes well! 2w

Librarybelle Oh no! 2w

AnnCrystal @dabbe I will leave this to the teacher 😂💝💝💝. 2w

Sarahreadstoomuch I‘m so sorry! 2w

Texreader 🙁 I sure hope you‘re doing ok and that surgery is successful. I hear it‘s all about the rehab. 2w

Chrissyreadit ugh! No Bueno!!! I was able to use PT only for mine (thankful no surgery)and agree good PT is huge! hope your pain is not too much 2w

Bookwormjillk Oh no! I agree with @Amiable on the rehab. It‘s torture but helpful torture. My other suggestion is to get yourself a back scratcher. Hope you can get it taken care of soon! 2w

CBee @dabbe sounds like when my GYN told me to “ride it out” after I explained all of my menopause symptoms. Butthead. 2w

TheBookHippie @Amiable YES PT!!!!! 2w

dabbe @Susanita As if I could! No, Pip dragged me to the ground chasing a damn bird. 😅 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue That's the plus to it all! TY. 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @Amiable Another good point! It's my right one, the one I do everything with, of course! I can still move it, just not in certain directions. 😅 2w

dabbe @Amiable Holy guacamole! TY! I don't have any button-ups; they're all pullovers. Here's a plus: time to go shopping! 😂 2w

dabbe @ShelleyBooksie TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal I think it's “Woe is I“ because if you put the sentence in the correct order of subject before verb, you say, “I am woe.“ Now that I've just done that, I should have said “Woe AM I.“ I need to review my grammar! 😅 2w

dabbe @Texreader You instantly reminded me of Amy Winehouse's “Rehab.“
Obviously for very different reasons. TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @Chrissyreadit We'll see what his final opinion is, but the fact that there are two tears makes my primary doc think surgery would be better. Based on the f-in' big beautiful bill, I better get this done soon. 😅 TY for the kind words, m'dear. 💙🩵💙 2w

Chrissyreadit fingers and toes crossed! 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I am starting to make a list! Backscratcher: #mostexcellent TY 🩵💙🩵 2w

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Truth!! And here's to it staying that way for a long time! 🥂💜 2w

dabbe @CBee ESPECIALLY if your GYN was a female. 😤😂 2w

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Definitely not shoulders! 🥰 2w

CBee @dabbe nope, it‘s a dude. Too bad cause he was pretty cool before he said that 😂🫣🤪 2w

dabbe @CBee Well, not only is that a dick-downer-for-women, but #patriarchylives even with the best of 'em! 2w

julieclair Ugh. Hope you‘re not in too much pain while you wait to get it fixed, and your healing is smooth and speedy. 💙💙💙 2w

Butterfinger I hate that. Keep us posted on your journey to feel better. 2w

willaful Best of luck! 2w

Read4life I‘m sorry, Denise. Did you at least get an apology snuggle from Pip? It sucks you have to wait so long for your appointment. Please keep us updated. 💙💙💙 2w

AnnCrystal @dabbe go with the original & just say you're being whimsical 😂👌🏼💝💝💝. 2w

LiseWorks Oh boy! This sucks. Please keep us updated. Sending lots of 🫂 2w

staci.reads Oh no! I hope All goes well with surgery and you're feeling pain free soon! 2w

Cuilin Oh no. I‘m so sorry. Hope you your healing is quick and you can hold books and turn pages, if not there‘s always audiobooks. Ugh!!! Sending speedy healing vibes. 🩷 2w

Meshell1313 Oh no. So sorry to hear this! Sending lots of healing thoughts your way! ❤️❤️❤️ 2w

dabbe @julieclair TY! It's tolerable. Pain killers help. 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @Butterfinger I will. TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @willaful TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @Read4life Oh yes; Pip has already forgotten about it! 😂 TY. 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal 😂😍😂 2w

dabbe @LiseWorks TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @staci.reads TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @Cuilin I luckily can still turn with my left hand. 😅 TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

dabbe @Meshell1313 TY! 💙🩵💙 2w

DebinHawaii Oh ouch! I am so sorry. Getting older really sucks sometimes. I will think healing thoughts. 💙💙💙 2w

dabbe @DebinHawaii I'm so happy you said “older“ and not “old“! 😂 That means I still have lots of years left, right? 💙🩵💙 2w

DebinHawaii @dabbe Hah! 😂 I hope so—for both of us! 💙💙💙 2w

RosePressedPages The same thing happened to my dad a little while ago. He‘s still in a sling. Here‘s to hoping you‘ll have a speedy recovery 💙 2w

kspenmoll Oh no, I am so sorry! I have shoulder surgery that entailed more than rotator cuff, & I was “older so recovery longer” ( plus it was on right side; I am right handed) but now I am so much better! Cleaned up arthritis, bone in bone while in there as well. You can do it! 2w

dabbe @RosePressedPages TY! 💙💙💙 2w

dabbe @kspenmoll You give me hope! I've got arthritis in there, too. Maybe I can get a whole clean-er-up-while-you're-in-there detail! 😂 2w

Librarybelle I enjoyed this one too! I did kind of hope for a true supernatural element, which would have been unique, but it was a super fun story. Maybe I think so because vampire is in the title! 😂 1mo

eeclayton I enjoyed it, too. It had a Jane Eyre-ish vibe in the beginning, and I'm glad the lady didn't end up in the attic or a madhouse 😁 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement My favorite line from this one was when Watson sees his school mate is not physically what he once had been, and W states is was painful to see. The clever line that made me chuckle:
I fear that I roused corresponding emotions in him. 1mo

kelli7990 I enjoyed it. 1mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement great line! 1mo

Cuilin @eeclayton yes definitely a gothic vibe right down to young Jack and his poison arrow. 1mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle I was hoping for a bit more Vampiric lore. 1mo

Cuilin @kelli7990 it was a fun one. 1mo

dabbe @Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement @kelli7990 Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I enjoyed this one, too--WAY more than the last one, #oy! I found it interesting that the kid's name was Jack. “Jack“ is used is many folk tales (talking to you, Jack & the Bean Stalk) and usually involved a young adult male who is a trickster or rebel of sorts. In this one, he happens to want to kill. 🤷‍♀️ The name definitely fits! 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf I would say those who constantly shift from one to another are worse as you would never know where you are with them. You couldn't trust them as they would throw you under the bus (horse & cart?) to save themselves & for political expediency. 2mo

lil1inblue I find them equally bad, but in different ways. I agree with @OutsmartYourShelf about those who shift with the wind. But those who are so unshakable in their faith that they can't open their minds to other ideas or views can be equally harmful. They deal in absolutes. 2mo

AnneCecilie I agree with @OutsmartYourShelf, you would never know if you can trust them, and in these changing times you need to be able to trust someone 2mo

dabbe @OutsmartYourShelf @lil1inblue @AnneCecilie
I'm glad you gave pros for each side because I see both sides as well. There are pros and cons to both types of people, and I find it difficult to choose which is worse. It seems that Shardlake does, too. Boy, I would never be good on a debate team! 🤣 2mo

LiseWorks There is a verse in Revelations that talks about people who are neither hot nor cold. Christ doesn't like it. And the Protestants today still believe in the antichrist. I think I would have lived as far away from the castle as possible, lol. 2mo

dabbe @LiseWorks I'm intrigued. What do you mean by Christ not liking “it“? He doesn't want people to be lukewarm?

And yeah, I'd live as far away from the castle as I could. I also would have avoided the London Bridge with all the poled heads, too. #oy 2mo

LiseWorks @dabbe Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, nether cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 2mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Holy guacamole, Batman! 😱 2mo

Deblovestoread @lil1inblue nailed it. You can‘t trust the shifters because they really believe in nothing and those with unshakable faith often refuse to respect anyone who is different…much like today. 2mo

Having nightmares of
uncontrollable classrooms.
I'll no longer sub.

P. S. And it's my 4th year of retirement. 🤣

Roary47 My students are rough this year. I haven‘t had the same sub twice. 🥹 2mo

TheBookHippie We have college students who now sub each teacher has a college student and the students get paid. 2mo

dabbe @Roary47 The more I've been removed from it, the harder the kids seem. Here's to your well-earned summer! 😍 2mo

See All 39 Comments

dabbe @TheBookHippie It's really hard to get subs these days, isn't it? 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe They try to bribe me all the time …. 2mo

AnnCrystal Kids seem to have lost their childhood these days, just in the news where two stories...“2 days ago — Police arrested a 13-year-old and a 12-year-old for a series of burglaries and vandalis“ and “5 days ago — Brothers, 7 and 9, Engaged in Armed Standoff with Police.“ Unreal! The poor teachers who must have to deal with these rascals.

👏🏼🐝🙏🏼🏫🐝💝. 2mo

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal only about 5 percent of that here and I‘m in Title One Schools. It‘s more extreme poverty and hunger by me. The behavior problems are in the “white” schools and private schools including weapons, rape and theft. Unreal. 2mo

kspenmoll 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 2mo

JenlovesJT47 Lol 😆💛🐝🖤 2mo

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie there's something terribly unbalanced in the world 🙏🏼😢🌍🌎🌏💝. 2mo

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal I feed as many as I can as often as I can. And give out as many books as I can! (edited) 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, I bet they do! How much do subs make in your district? We make $100 a day, $120 if it's long-term. 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal 😱😳😱 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie The middle school I taught at awas Title 1. The high school I retired at was white privilege. Both in the same district. 😳 2mo

dabbe @kspenmoll My last sub day was a day of ALL freshmen. It about did me in. 🤣😍🤣 (edited) 2mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 🤣🐝💛 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe same here we have 5 Title One and three very privileged and then about 10 that are everything in between .. our district alone is 9000. We have a huge district because it‘s everything not in the city proper. 2mo

TheSpineView Kudos to all the teachers! I would have nightmares too. 2mo

dabbe @TheSpineView I hope my brain finally gets over the 30 years of fun-filled trauma. 🤣 Just let me dream of lakes, mountains, and trees, please. 😍 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Ours is one of the biggest in the state with 27,000 students. I think we have around 15 Title 1 schools. 2mo

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie 📚💝📚💝. 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe WOWIE. Also- I tried to take sabbatical this year…. Making decisions about next year. 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Do what you need to do for YOU. I know if you take another sabbatical, you'll still go in and work. Because you care about those kids, and they need you. At my high school, I'm not needed at all. They have all the privilege and everything that goes with that. So, it's easier to stay away and not sub. It's the 1st year I declined to do AP test proctoring as well. #timeformetomoveon #ifonlymybrainwouldlisten 2mo

Reggie I used to be a waiter and had nightmares all the time about the restaurant. Great haiku. 2mo

Eggs I still have nightmares about middle school…😳 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🙃😬🤷🏻‍♀️ still deciding. I was a nurse for 20 years I would dream I lost the key to the med cart or reach for my stethoscope around my neck while I was asleep 🤣🫣😂 2mo

bellabella I was homeschooled all the way until I graduated high school. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, but I can guess by the way I see middleschoolers now. It's very sad. 2mo

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I was fortunate enough to get my teaching job without subbing first - those who do it have my utmost respect! (Except for that one sub who ignored my detailed sub plans to keep us on pace with the novel we were reading and just "discussed current events" in my English classes.) 2mo

dabbe @Reggie I was a waitress once, too! And had some nightmares there also! Usually in those, I drop all of the dishes, and the cook has to yell something like “Redo!“ 🤣 2mo

dabbe @Eggs The most awkard time period ever. 🤣 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #oy! Losing the key to the med cart! 😱 2mo

dabbe @bellabella It's exactly what my pic portrays. Kids doing all kinds of things except what they're supposed to be doing and me standing in the middle of the room, not knowing whose behavior to try to stop first. 😱 2mo

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards So was I. I was a teacher fro 30 years until I retired in 2021; my last year was the COVID year. I subbed after that, and the last day I did it was when I had to deal with freshmen all day. That was enough. 😳 2mo

See All 65 Comments

Chrissyreadit Only 9- but a lot of nf books. 2mo

Lynnsoprano Wow, only 12! However, there are 19th century authors who are missing from this list, whose books I would have expected to make the list—Hawthorne, Austen, Brontë, to name a few. 2mo

Bookwormjillk Ooof only 9! 2mo

Susanita @Lynnsoprano I guess the divisions are not entirely exact with so many books. There were some Austen and Brontë last week. In fact, without them my score would have been even worse! 2mo

Lynnsoprano @susanita Ah, that explains it. I was down with COVID last week—not bad except for the headache. I‘ll have to go back and look at that list. 2mo

BarkingMadRead I only had 15. I own like 5 or so more but haven‘t read them yet 🙈 2mo

Bklover 15- thanks to a years ago obsession with Jules Verne and HG Wells. And, of course, #hashtagbrigade 2mo

Librarybelle So bizarre—I did worse this week than last with only 13! And I call myself a classics reader! 🙄 2mo

willaful 12 for me. Alice and Little Women my favs, of course! I'd like to read What Maisie Knew. Calling the #HashtagBrigade ! 😁 2mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 Yay for you! I find them rather terrifying myself. 🤣 2mo

dabbe @CSeydel I think my score will be right around there, too! TESS was my #1 fave book in 2023 with the #hashtagbrigade! And we're currently reading THE MILL ON THE FLOSS. I loved MIDDLEMARCH, too. Is SILAS your favorite of hers? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 #woohooyou Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit 🎯🩵🎯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @Lynnsoprano There are still more books from the 1800s coming your way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead We need to get them into the #hashtagbrigade! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I feel it! I haven't taken it yet, but I think I'll score around the same! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @Susanita @Lynnsoprano The list I have is ordered by centuries, but not necessarily in chronological order of that century. So, the 1800s could have one from 1813, then the next from 1802, then the next from 1889, and so on. 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

dabbe @Lynnsoprano I hope you're feeling better! 😍 2mo

dabbe @Bklover IKR? I still need to read WAR OF THE WORLDS. I've read his others, but not that one! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle I think I'll score worse, too! But, man, some of those titles I have never even heard of! I'm more of a British Lit classics girl, not a world one. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @willaful Ooh, that one does sound good for the #hashtagbrigade, doesn't it? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

Bklover Thanks for the tag! I truly appreciate it. 🩷🩷🩷. Also loved Tess with #hashtagbrigade (edited) 2mo

Susanita @Lynnsoprano Ugh. I hope you feel better! 2mo

Eggs 💗🌺💖 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement 19 for me this round. 2mo

ImperfectCJ I missed last week, so I'm playing catch-up. I've read 17 from this round. Love Alice and was surprised how much I enjoyed Kim and Sister Carrie when I read them. Now to post about last week's list! 2mo

dabbe @Bklover 💜💚💜 2mo

dabbe @Eggs 💜💚💜 2mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement We scored pretty closely together this time! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ We're close in our scores! Added your choices to my TBR. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

tpixie @dabbe yikes! 9% I am currently reading Les MIs! December 31 that‘ll get me up to 10%! ❤️‍🔥. @dabbe @CSeydel Tess is a favorite ❤️ (edited) 2mo

CSeydel @tpixie it‘s so good. Reminds me, I‘m due for a re-read … on the other hand, I still haven‘t read Jude the Obscure. Decisions decisions 2mo

CSeydel @dabbe believe it or not, I haven‘t read Mill on the Floss OR Middlemarch (despite having the latter on my shelf for like 3 years, gazing dolefully at me every time I walk by with another book in my hand). But yes Silas Marner is one of my favorite books of all books! 2mo

Faranae 30! Some of these authors feel over-represented, like they could have just chosen 1 or max 2 by that author and fit someone else in. Some of these I really have to vote against! I read André Gide's “fruits of the earth“ in French and yikes. Also I love Sherlock but just put the Hound on there and move on! 2mo

rwmg 29 Brings home how Anglocentric my 19th century reading has been, even if not completely so. But an embarrassing number where I've never heard of book or author. 2mo

AnnCrystal
Thanks for the tag
📚☺️👍🏼💝. (edited) 2mo

peaKnit Ope, 5! I also love Tess, I see she is a popular read! I read it in Highschool. 2mo

Daisey I‘ve read 30 from this week‘s list, and that‘s with consistently reading from the 1001 list for the last several years. 2mo

tpixie @Daisey 🩷🩷🩷 2mo

tpixie @CSeydel I know it‘s so hard to do a reread when there‘s so many other books still left to read! 2mo

dabbe @tpixie You're in good company; most of us are between 5 and 25! Here's hoping the 1900s are better for all of us! And I think we should be able to include LES as 3 books just for its length alone! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

dabbe @CSeydel And SILAS is the one of hers I haven't read! 🤣 I adored MIDDLEMARCH and am enjoying MILL, though MIDDLE is better IMHO. I'm moving SILAS up on the TBR! 😍 2mo

dabbe @Faranae The Sherlock is a hard one for me as I am a MAJOR Sherlock fan. But I see your point. Perhaps only one book per author, right? Yet some writers are way better than others and contributed more to the overall literary aesthetics of history. Hard choices all around. BTW, you beat my sorry butt. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

dabbe @rwmg 🩵🎯🩵 So many world authors I've never heard of, nor their books. I need the clock to slow down so that I can get to them! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🥰 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit I applaud any teacher who had high schoolers read TESS. I adored that book! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

dabbe @Daisey You know, some of them just don't look that appealing to me. I don't care how low my score may be, if I'm not even interested by the cover or the little snippet provided in the 1001 book, I ain't reading it! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2mo

CatLass007 My score was 11 and I think I should get some credit for at least TRYING to read Les Miz three different times. But I didn‘t check it. A couple of these I‘m pretty sure I read so I checked them. I read most of these with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes, #HashtagBrigade, #RandomClassics, and #WhatTheDickens, so thank you #LITSY! I also DNF several others. But, as @dabbe reminds me, #HailTheBail #BetterBooksAhead (edited) 2mo

CatLass007 Three that I own and want to read are Anna Karenina, War and Peace, and Middlemarch. 2mo

TheLudicReader 🤣 7. I still have the essay I wrote about Tess. Hated her. But I loved The Mayor of Casterbridge. 2mo

catiewithac 27/100 but why so much Zola? It was a weird list. 2mo

dabbe @CatLass007 YES! I love book surveys, but I don't always agree with them. If the book doesn't look good to me, I don't care who thinks I should read it! 🤣 And 🎯 for all of the books thanks to Litsy. I feel the same way. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @CatLass007 If I had to put these in order of what I enjoyed, I'd say MIDDLEMARCH, ANNA KARENINA, then WAR AND PEACE. But don't listen to me! 🤣 2mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader Well, here's something where we aren't in sync. TESS was my favorite read of 2023 (maybe that was a crappy reading year! 🤣). I want to read that essay when I get there! And I never read MAYOR, but I adored FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWS. That Hardy! #oy Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

dabbe @catiewithac I guess Zola is Ze besZt. 🤣🤷‍♀️😍 I've never read anything by him! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

tpixie @dabbe lol Les Mis as 3 books yes! (edited) 2mo

tpixie @CatLass007 I‘m hoping to read Anna K next year. I missed out on @TheBookHippie buddy read this year 2mo

CatLass007 @tpixie I didn‘t know there was a buddy read to miss. 2mo

dabbe @tpixie 🎯🩵🎯 2mo

tpixie @CatLass007 🩷 it‘s hard to keep up with all the buddy reads!! 2mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I think I'm coming in with the lowest score: 4! I'm confident enough to carry that torch. 🤣 I enjoyed Little Women & Dracula. Jekyll & Hyde and Alice's Adventures...not so much. I am not familiar with many of these. I should probably do a little research and bump myself up to a nice, round eight books read. 2mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Some scored “0“, so you're not the lowest! Even if you were, who cares? 🤣 I loved Jekyll & Hyde, but did NOT care of any of Alice's adventures! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2mo

Ruthiella Honestly, the sub title of this novel should be “This Can‘t End Well”! 😬 (edited) 2mo

mcctrish @Ruthie correct! I think Maggie took Stephen‘s breath away 🤣🤣 #whywontshelookatme #ifirowshehastolookatme #oooicantouchherhandtwice #notcreepyatall (edited) 2mo

ElizaMarie 👀 2mo

julieclair @Ruthiella 😂😂Truth! Honestly, I‘m going to be so upset if he comes between Maggie and Lucy. 2mo

Leftcoastzen Lots of drama could be coming up! 2mo

Leftcoastzen I liked the fact that Maggie was direct about her sewing skills . She needed money , not just needlework projects for after dinner. 2mo

dabbe I could just feel the electricity between those two! And Lucy just sitting there being so pretty and hoping they like each other. #oy! This can't be good, can it? And now Phil's going to come over, too? #doubleoy 2mo
