Classics Reimagined, Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

I‘ve been so absent from ThreeListThursday #TLT that I had to join in late. Interesting list of books-I feel OK with 56/100. If only you got to x it by the number of times you‘ve read it—I would be a top scorer through P&P alone!🤷🏻‍♀️

My 5 favorites:
1. Pride and Prejudice is my all-time love!💜
2. The Joy Luck Club🥠
3. Little Women of course! 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️
4. I need to read The Stand again-my fave King!👑
5. I loved The Hunger Games series 🏹

And Then There Were None | Agatha Christie

📚And Then There Were None
📚LOTR - I read the trilogy & The Hobbit in 8 days for honors English bc: procrastination
📚Their Eyes Were Watching God
📚The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - enjoyed this more than I expected.

📘The Handmaid's Tale - it was better when it was dystopian fiction & less instruction manual
📘Harry Potter - author is problematic, but I really enjoyed the series, especially Goblet of Fire

dabbe Love your choices. RE: HP, I just can't rectify that she created such an incredible fantasy world and is so horrible in reality. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚📚💙 2d

#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

Only 45/100 for this retired English teacher. 😱 Thanks to all of you who played, I am reprioritizing my TBR! Favorites today are above; hard to limit to just three.

What got me most about this list was how to rectify things like WAR & PEACE, CHARLOTTE'S WEB, 50 SHADES OF GREY, and THE TWILIGHT SERIES being on the SAME list! #whatthe 🤣
Here's the link again if you'd like to play: https://shorturl.at/SVh6e

BooksandCoffee4Me 42, not stellar. Loved DuMaurier‘s Rebecca! And so remember that day when my poor 6th-grade boys were trying so hard to hide their crying during Where the Red Fern Grows. Oh, and love that Hatchet got one of my inner-city guys to read a whole book! 3d

willaful @BooksandCoffee4Me My husband loved Hatchet. 3d

willaful 35 for me. And a lot of DNFs. 😂

It's an odd list! I have no idea what the theme is. 3d

Librarybelle 36 for me, though I‘ve read parts of the Narnia series, not the whole series. Lots on my to read list. 3d

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me My 4th grade teacher read WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS to us chapter by chapter after afternoon recess to calm us down. She had never read it before, and when she got to the end, she had to run out of the room sobbing while we sobbed without her. 😭

Loved HATCHET, too, though DOGSONG is my favorite of his. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3d

dabbe @willaful From their website: “The Great American Read's criteria primarily focused on fiction books, specifically those loved by the American public. A survey conducted by PBS, The Great American Read, and a polling service formed the basis for the top 100 list.“

No wonder it's all over the place! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Did you see that only ONE Christie made the list? And it happens to be my favorite of hers, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. I loved teaching that in high school! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3d

shortsarahrose 22 for me, which is better than I expected? Agree with The Little Prince. Moby Dick and Little Women are other favorites. 3d

Librarybelle Yes! That‘s my favorite Christie too. Maybe it made the list because it is so suspenseful??? In any case, a worthy mention. 3d

dabbe @shortsarahrose 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 for reading MOBY DICK. I got as far as “Call Me Ishmael.“ 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle That one had one of the best surprise endings I have ever read. 3d

Butterfinger I look forward to these each Thursday. Thank you. 3d

dabbe @Butterfinger Well, you just made my day! TY! 😍 3d

Amiable 46! I‘m surprised—I usually score much lower on these lists. I‘m with you —how dare this list include both “A Prayer for Owen Meany” (my favorite book of all-time) and “50 Shades of Grey”??? That‘s a travesty. 😖😠 2d

RaeLovesToRead Lol, there is a lot of crap on this list 🤣🤣🤣 i got 34/100 2d

TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead lots of CRAP. And I read a lot of crap on it 🤦🏻‍♀️😝 2d

RaeLovesToRead @TheBookHippie I think I made it through about 5 pages of Twilight. Nope. 2d

TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead I refused to open the book 😂😝 2d

BkClubCare If I count the first in a series, I hit 71. 🤪 2d

dabbe @Amiable Another thing weird about Americans, I guess. 🤣 You beat me by one! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 2d

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Our country is just plain weird. Next week will be the BBC one, so we'll see what your list is like! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 2d

dabbe @TheBookHippie 🎯🩵🎯 2d

dabbe @BkClubCare 1st in a series counts! W🤩WZA! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 2d

RaeLovesToRead @TheBookHippie In my defence, it was a decade ago and I was very very hungover 🤣🤣 22h

RaeLovesToRead @dabbe Ooh, I MAY have seen the list before then.... which means I may do OK. BRING IT ON!!!! 22h

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I will! Next Thursday! 😍 20h

Favorites-Joy Luck Club, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy.

Only 38. I took 18th and 19th century Russian lit in college, so I did have those long ones! I might have read more, but can‘t really remember. 🤔

#TLT @dabbe

dabbe We should be able to count them by the page, right? 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3d

Lesliereadsalot Haha…yes! 🩷 3d

BooksandCoffee4Me @dabbe And those of us who had to read several repeatedly — with 6 classes every year for 20 years kind of repeatedly. 🫤 3d

BooksandCoffee4Me @Lesliereadsalot I confess I may have groaned out loud when I came to The Giver and to Call of the Wild on the survey. (edited) 3d

bellabella Sound like good, long books! I hope you enjoy them. I've only read Grapes of Wrath out of those, but I liked it a lot. 3d

dabbe If I had to pick my top 3 from your list, I'd choose GRAPES, THINGS FALL APART, and A SEPARATE PEACE--loved teaching that in high school. You kicked my butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3d

Susanita Things Fall Apart 😭 3d

wanderinglynn @Susanita that‘s what I‘ve heard, which is why it‘s been sitting on my TBR bookshelf 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures

Pride and Prejudice | Austen

I have read 65 (I am counting some series even if I only read the first)

Favorites:
P&P
Beloved
Sirens of Titen ties with Hitchhikers Guide

3 I do want to read:
Anne Green Gables
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Another Country (one of the only Baldwins I have not read)

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

dabbe The only one I've read from your list if P&P! And you kicked my butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3d

ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe how many did you get? I feel like a lot of these I read for school but I also just love a classic. I love seeing Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams with the likes of Austen and Bronte that all do amazing if different work. 3d

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I get so busy posting the original that I always forget to post my own score! 🤣 I got 45/100. I have some serious reading to do! 🤩 3d

ChaoticMissAdventures I looked at your post and thought, she keeps saying people are beating her but she will not say her number it must be so low 😂. 45 is good!!! You are beating many people 🎉 3d
