DGRachel I did better this time but still didn‘t beat the average. I got 19. Too many on my favorites list, many that I have tried, failed, and will never try again (not counted) and several I‘d like to read. Fun! 4d

Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes 17/100. The Joy Luck Club, Love Medicine, Little Fires Everywhere, Little Women, Housekeeping, and Going After Cacciato all jumped out at me. Some were ‘Did I read this? I don‘t remember‘ (didn‘t count those). 4d

PuddleJumper What's ap literature? 4d

dabbe @DGRachel Yay to beating your score last week! I hope I do the same. And don't say you “failed“ at reading them. You #hailedthebails! 🤩 I cringed at quite a few of these just by looking at their covers! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes I say if you even thought you might have read it, it should count! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @PuddleJumper AP stands for Advanced Placement, and it's usually a senior course in high school where, if a student takes the 4-5 hour literature exam at the end of the year (multiple-choice and 3-4 essays), she/he/they can receive college credit and not have to take English 101 or 102 in college. Also, if a student receives an “A“ in the class, it counts as a 5.0 re: gpa, not a 4.0. 4d

MaleficentBookDragon I hated Ethan Frome soooooooo much!

Ethan Frome

MaleficentBookDragon Better than last week but still not a lot. 21 (lady week 17). 4d

dabbe @MaleficentBookDragon You're still in fantastic company; pretty much most of us are between 5-30. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @MaleficentBookDragon That book is so flippin' sad! 😭 4d

PuddleJumper @dabbe Ahh, ok we don't have anything like that in the U.K 4d

BkClubCare 35 for me! With one title I am not sure of and a few that I skimmed or only *think* I have read (cough, Great Expectations, cough) 4d

BkClubCare @MaleficentBookDragon - there are some HILARIOUS youtube videos by HS kids mocking that book. 4d

BkClubCare P 4d

dabbe @PuddleJumper I should have explained with the 1st list last week. Sorry about that! 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @BkClubCare #yahooyou! Great Ex: 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

CogsOfEncouragement I checked off 14 again. Four were assigned to me in HS. 4d

LA1 Rank 72 out of 81 with a score of 23 🤷🏼‍♀️ I didn‘t think I would get any but a few is good 😊 4d

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement There's quite a few on this list that I'm not even remotely interested in reading! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @LA1 You got more than a few, and you're in good company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

Patchshank Thanks for the tag. I've read 10. There's a few there I own but haven't read like Kafka on the shore and kindred. 4d

BookNAround 44 on this one so fewer than last week. 😉 4d

LiseWorks I only read 14 and only because I had to either for school or it was on my tbr forever 4d

TheLudicReader A whopping 18! 😬 4d

peaKnit Doh! 10! lol 4d

bibliothecarivs Seven for me this time, more than my four from last time. 4d

dabbe @Patchshank I have quite a few, too. Maybe someday, right? 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @BookNAround #yourock! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @LiseWorks I hear ya! #metoo 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @TheLudicReader We're in good company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @peaKnit Dohing is not allowed! 😂 Ya done good are in great company with the rest of us! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @bibliothecarivs Some book covers on this list did not do much to make me want to read them! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

Bookwormjillk 20 for me. Ethan Frome and The Great Gatsby are two favorites I always think though people should wait until they‘re 30 to read them. Grapes of Wrath is another favorite. One of the few assigned readings I finished in school. Even then I loved to #HailTheBail 4d

Texreader Ive only read 9, but can‘t remember all the Shakespeare I‘ve read and I question a few others. The best books from this batch were by women: Frankenstein, Kindred, The Handmaid‘s Tale, and In the Time of the Butterflies. 4d

Texreader @dabbe Oh I was wondering! I‘m too old for all that “Advanced Placement” test stuff! 😉 We had a special English class for a few seniors who wanted advanced reading. And it was great. But that‘s all it was. 4d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Agree 💯. These books I feel are sometimes wasted on the high school kids who need to live more and suffer more to truly appreciate them. #Hailingthebail was a favorite activity of mine, too--plus reading CLIFF'S NOTES! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @Texreader Yay for women writers! Curious as to which ones you question, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 4d

dabbe @Texreader Your senior class sounds a lot more fun than the AP one! We once had a class for seniors that was called Senior Contemporary Novels, and it was fabulous. Kids reading books and discussing a la a book-club format. Now, there's no room for exploratory classes like that. A true bummer. 4d

Texreader @dabbe Oh that sounds lovely! 4d

rwmg 28, better than my 21 last week.

Quite a few I know I've read but remember almost nothing about. 4d

thebacklistbook 11/100 I'm sure I forgot some. 4d

PurpleyPumpkin What a great book list! While I‘m familiar with many of these, I‘ve only read 27 which surprised me. Favourites are The Importance of Being Earnest, Little Women, and Fahrenheit 451. So many more I want to read!📚 4d

tpixie 16/100. Apparently I go for the ‘trash‘ books instead of classics!! 4d

Eggs 🧡🤗 4d

dabbe @Texreader It truly was. 🤩 3d

dabbe @rwmg Our brains can only remember so much when we read a lot of books, right? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 3d

dabbe @thebacklistbook I'm sure you did! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 3d

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin Love all 3 of your choices! I actually burned a book when I introduced F451 to my students. The kids were like 😳😱😝! It was a book that was already falling apart. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 3d

dabbe @tpixie No book is trashy! 🤩 Remember, too, that these are books that had to pass the “banned“ criteria... for example, I can guarantee no book by Toni Morrison is on the list, and she ain't trashy at all! You're in good company, m'dear! Most scores were between 5-25. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 3d

dabbe @Eggs 🩶🩵🩶 3d

tpixie @dabbe 💙🩵💙 3d

azulaco 39/100. Lots of assigned reading from high school and college. A couple that I actually have on Kindle and have never gotten to! 2d

dabbe @azulaco Ya kicked my sorry butt! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 1d

iread2much 17 on this one, so a bit better 😅 21h

dabbe @iread2much Yay, you! You're in great company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 9h

iread2much @dabbe thank you for the invite 😁 2h

My Top 4:
-Love Actually*
-Elf
-The Holiday*
-The Year Without a Santa Claus (fave from childhood love me some Heat Miser🔥& Snow Miser❄️)

Honorable Mentions I can‘t leave out:
-The Family Stone* 😢🩵

-While You We‘re Sleeping*

⬇️

TheSpineView 🥰😊🌞 2mo

DebinHawaii …
-Love Hard* (favorite newish❤️Jimmy O Yang)
-Die Hard (it is indeed a Christmas Movie!)
-A Christmas Story (so quotable. EVERY time I see a box marked Fragile “Fraa-jeel-aay! It must be Italian!"

* Means I‘ve already watched it this year & likely will again.

OK, I have beef with some omissions like Bridget Jones‘s Diary (it starts & ends with New Years but there is Christmas & Mark Darcy‘s reindeer sweater!) I watch it the week in between?? (edited) 2mo

The current temp is 59º F, and it has been raining on and off all day. I am weeping in gratitude. In 10 minutes, I plan on revisiting these lovely Naturalisty Solstice cards from last year as I prepare for this year's. I have Kate and Pippa at my feet, hoping for some delicious Canadian snacks from the lovely @mcctrish. 😘

Life is good. Remember this on Nov. 5th. 💙

Spin of Fate | A. A. Vora

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is ONE!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are over 200 of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇
3mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) As always, the link to the masterpost about how this challenge works can be found on my profile or here - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - and the link to the Google Form where you can track your reads for the end-of-the-year-giveaway can be found here - https://forms.gle/4kTBMWAsCa9Cvmqs6

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇
3mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) have time to reply to them all!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and for making this challenge SO much fun!!

I'm going to post the Bingo board, and then come back and start the tag list on this post. Happy reading!!!

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

Doing better than with the songs or movie challenges, I think.

dabbe Better than 80%! #yourock Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🍁🧡 4mo

Faranae \“66 of 211 · 31% You did better than 91% of users on this list\“. I blame the URC since so many of these are books I hate. 😂

Though also, the ALA often doesn\'t make an effort to distinguish between \“challenged from being in the school library\“ and \“challenged as required reading\“. And some of the books really aren\'t suitable for certain grades. A library can\'t have every book, either. 4mo

willaful @Faranae Definitely. I find it hard to find thorough info about banned books -- the extent of the ban, the reason for it, etc. 4mo
