#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 🤣

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! 1mo

willaful @BooksandCoffee4Me My husband loved Hatchet. 1mo

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

It's an odd list! I have no idea what the theme is. 1mo

Librarybelle 36 for me, though I‘ve read parts of the Narnia series, not the whole series. Lots on my to read list. 1mo

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. 💙📚💚 1mo

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. 💙📚💚 1mo

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. 💙📚💚 1mo

shortsarahrose 22 for me, which is better than I expected? Agree with The Little Prince. Moby Dick and Little Women are other favorites. 1mo

Librarybelle Yes! That‘s my favorite Christie too. Maybe it made the list because it is so suspenseful??? In any case, a worthy mention. 1mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 for reading MOBY DICK. I got as far as “Call Me Ishmael.“ 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1mo

dabbe @Librarybelle That one had one of the best surprise endings I have ever read. 1mo

Butterfinger I look forward to these each Thursday. Thank you. 1mo

dabbe @Butterfinger Well, you just made my day! TY! 😍 1mo

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. 😖😠 1mo

RaeLovesToRead Lol, there is a lot of crap on this list 🤣🤣🤣 i got 34/100 1mo

TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead lots of CRAP. And I read a lot of crap on it 🤦🏻‍♀️😝 1mo

RaeLovesToRead @TheBookHippie I think I made it through about 5 pages of Twilight. Nope. 1mo

TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead I refused to open the book 😂😝 1mo

BkClubCare If I count the first in a series, I hit 71. 🤪 1mo

dabbe @Amiable Another thing weird about Americans, I guess. 🤣 You beat me by one! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1mo

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. 💙📚💚 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie 🎯🩵🎯 1mo

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

RaeLovesToRead @TheBookHippie In my defence, it was a decade ago and I was very very hungover 🤣🤣 1mo

RaeLovesToRead @dabbe Ooh, I MAY have seen the list before then.... which means I may do OK. BRING IT ON!!!! 1mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I will! Next Thursday! 😍 1mo

The Stars Are Legion | Kameron Hurley

#EmojiNov #day5 #🤷🏻‍♀️#WhatThe? This novel from start to finish had me going “What the hell am I reading?!” The story is so strange and weird, I have no clue what the inside of the authors brain looks like, but I bet she‘d rival Stephen King himself! With living spaceships, all female human race, recycling people, women giving birth to ship parts & womb swapping, there‘s a hella ton of crazy here, but so well written you can‘t put it down🤷🏻‍♀️

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I‘ve heard the author call the genre of this book “wombpunk”. 8y

Lizpixie @TobeyTheScavengerMonk hah! That is so appropriate! Have you read it? 8y

RealLifeReading Sounds fascinating 8y
