#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

Continuing the fun from last week, here is a survey of autumn foods. If it's close to something you've tried, it counts!

Share your score (if you want). List 3 faves/3 hates/3 you thought should have been here/3 whatever-you-wants. Tagging the #ShardlakeBR group, but ALL are always invited to play! 😍

Librarybelle Only 21 for me…I‘m not the biggest fan of various pumpkin-flavored things, and I‘m not a coffee/latte/fancy drink drinker. But, Halloween Oreos are a must, and a good pecan pie is always welcome. Cannot forget caramel apples either! 😂 6d
dabbe @Librarybelle Your choices have made me hungry! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 6d

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 6d
PuddleJumper Why are there marshmallows in the sweet potato? 🤣 Most of those foods I've never heard of 6d
Bookwormjillk 62% for me. Confession: s'mores pop tarts are one of my favorite things to eat. They're so awful and filled with over processed goo but I love them. 6d
RaeLovesToRead Hehe... I got past the first three and was like... OK, Rae this is going to be an easy one.... then things went downhill 🤣🤣🤣 I've not even HEARD of half this stuff haha. Maybe because I'm a UK Litten. 6d
LiseWorks I got 67 % not bad 6d
dabbe @PuddleJumper You've never had that? It was once on the can of yams you'd buy in the store. Like back in the 70s. 😂 6d
dabbe @Bookwormjillk And they're even better (IMHO) when toasated and smeared with melted butter! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 6d
dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I think at the end it was a bit of a stretch. 😂🧡😂 6d
dabbe @LiseWorks Not bad at all! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 6d
MonicaLoves2Read 23 out of 55 6d
mcctrish Gingerbread is all we need 6d
PurpleyPumpkin So fun and thanks for the tag! My score was 29 out of 55 which was 53%. I didn't think I get that many! It was mostly due to the more traditional foods and drinks. My goodness, so many Oreo options!😳 6d
Mollyanna Such fun! 30 out of 55. I didn‘t realize there were so many variations of Oreos and pop-tarts 😆 6d
Catsandbooks 48! I love trying any new flavor things! 6d
dabbe @MonicaLoves2Read #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 6d
dabbe @mcctrish 🧡🎯💜 6d
dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin IKR? And some I was like 🤢! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 6d
dabbe @Mollyanna Neither did I! I think I'd eat any kind of Pop Tart honestly. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 6d
dabbe @Catsandbooks #wahooyou! Fab score! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🩶💜 6d
Centique Ive only had 18! Not a single one of the branded things 😂😂 We dont have any of that but it looks like fun. It‘s spring here and im envying you autumn - my favourite season! 😍 2d

Thanks, Shardlakians, for being so accommodating to everyone. I went for the halfway point to hopefully be fair to all of us. The discussion date over the whole TOME of a book will be on 10/15. I've already read fab reviews of those who finished. Hopefully that will work for everyone. 💛💜🧡

I had quite a bit of driving yesterday to & from family events, so I listened to the last several chapters of this book. This one felt slower than some of the others in the series, but the combination of Shardlake, Nicholas, & Barak gave a great variety of perspectives. I found the English history of the rebellions fascinating while also frustrating. I appreciated the additional historical notes after the story.

Hi, Shardlakians~
Full disclosure here. I am wwwaaaayyyy far behind! 🤪 I don't know if I'll be finished by 9/30 TBH. I have three options:
1. Still discuss on 9/30--thought the questions might be more open-ended.
2. Postpone discussion until 10/30 (not on Halloween, of course).
3. Finish on your own with no discussion unless you post your own review.
Where are you? What do you want to do? Comment below when you can. 💛💜🧡

lil1inblue I'm at on Chapter 54 - 61%. I have to say, this one is a super slow read for me compared to the previous books. I'm good with postponing until October or reading at our own pace and discussing in comments on reviews. 3w
LiseWorks Well I'm at chapter 52-59%. I agree it's a slow read, but I'm enjoying the book. I'm also good at postponing and reading at my own pace and discussing reviews. 3w
Mollyanna I agree. This one is a little slower, but still very good. I am also okay with postponing the discussion to October 30. 3w

OutsmartYourShelf Oct is usually pretty much booked up with Halloween readathons for me so I‘ll probably finish reading this one in Sept, but I‘m ok with waiting until Oct for the discussion. 3w
Karisimo I'm starting the audiobook today! But I'm sure I can finish by Sept 30. 3w
kwmg40 I've finished, but I don't mind waiting until end of October to discuss. I really tried hard to pace myself to read this over 3 months. However, despite the slow start, I couldn't stop reading once I reached the halfway point and just kept going! I'm currently reading Sansom's essay about reimagining the rebellion that's at the end of my edition. 3w
Daisey I downloaded the audio and got caught up for August with a lot of listening this weekend, so I should now finish on schedule. I‘m fine with waiting longer to discuss though. 3w
Librarybelle I am so way behind in the series it‘s not funny. Any delays in a final discussion just *may* get me one step closer to the final book. But, I have my doubts. 😂 3w
AnneCecilie I‘ll probably finish on time, but discussion in October works fine for me 3w
Deblovestoread Finished today. But happy to discuss whenever. I would have loved for this series to move into Elizabeth‘s reign. (edited) 2w
