I saw this picture of Bears on Facebook and wanted to share a personal story about what happened in my life. It didn‘t happen recently. It‘s been awhile since it happened.

RavenclawOwlCat I was going to ask but I think rule 4 covered my question: multiple things can be found on one cover (so we can check all those items off-right?) 2d

TheAromaofBooks @RavenclawOwlCat - Yes!! One book can check off as many prompts as you like!! 2d

RavenclawOwlCat @TheAromaofBooks nice!! That‘s great for someone like me who doesn‘t get through very many books a year! 1d

TheAromaofBooks @RavenclawOwlCat - Yes!! And a lot of people, including myself, actually work on the boards all year round instead of trying to finish one a month. So definitely do whatever makes it the most fun for you!! And if you'd like to be added to the tag list, just let me know!! (edited) 17h

Spooky Season | Jessie Haas

I knew going into this #threelistthursday that I was going to have a low score. I'm super picky about spooky reads. But I didn't think it would be this low. 🤣🫠

Here's probably my top three from the list. All three are superbly written:
👻 Our Shade of Night by Mariana Enriquez
🕷 Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
🎃 Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier

I also enjoy the Brontës around this time.

#tlt @dabbe

dabbe I love spooky reads, but I think I'm going to score low, too! 15 seems to be the highest so far! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 5d

Bookish_Thoughts I got 7%. 😱🤣 5d

lil1inblue @Bookish_Thoughts It looks like this was a low score list for a lot of us! I think the highest I've seen is 20% 😂 4d

Modoc: True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived | Ralph Helfer

so-so

2.5/5
If it had been marketed as fiction, my rating would have been higher.
But read as a fiction, this book is emotional and interesting, it's a nice story about the friendship between an elephant and his caretaker. The main thing that bothered me while reading it was the lack of chronological elements. Also, a lack of nuances in describing the bad characters (very manichean). Too much pathos at times, but I learned a lot about elephants.

The Secret World Of Wombats | Jackie French, Bruce Whatley

Happy International Wombat Day! Read this, especially if you need a laugh: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/wombats?fbclid=PAVERFWANl7Z1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp2b2j...
(Sorry that link is so friggin long 😅)

dabbe OMG, I adore THE OATMEAL! This is friggin' hilarious! Plus, I learned. A LOT!!! 😂😍😂 Happy International Wombat Day! 🧡💜💛 6d

AmyG The only thing I remember about them…they poop cubes! 6d

Texreader 😂😂😂😱😂😂😂 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @AmyG same that is the first thought that pops into my head when someone says wombat! 6d

julesG @ChaoticMissAdventures pops or poops? 🤣🤣🤣 6d

lil1inblue I know not one, but TWO people whose parents almost named them Wombat. One was female, and would have been Wombat had she been a boy, and the other was a boy whose Mom overruled his Dad and went with Cory instead of Wombat. This cartoon adds a whole new level of hilarity to that. 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @julesG the poop pops into my head 🤣😂🤣 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @lil1inblue this is absolutely WILD. I wonder how many other animals people were almost named after. "Hi dad meet my boyfriend Giraffe!" ? 6d

lil1inblue @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣🤣🤣 6d

Ruthiella That link is delightful. 😂😂😂Thank you! 6d

CBee @lil1inblue you‘ve got to be kidding me 😂😂😂 I am very happy for those kids who are NOT named wombat 😂 6d

CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures and here‘s my girlfriend, Hippo 😂 6d

CBee @Ruthiella I‘ve shared it with so many people! I never get tired of it 😂 6d

lil1inblue @CBee They did bond over their mutual near-misses, and they became good friends. But both were quite glad they were not actually named Wombat. 🤣🤣🤣 6d

CarolynM I‘m very glad the people you know didn‘t get named Wombat. Calling someone that in Australia has a rude meaning that I am sure their parents would not have intended😆 6d

CBee @lil1inblue thank goodness. Can you imagine? School would‘ve been a nightmare! 6d

CBee @CarolynM oooo. I‘m intrigued about this rude meaning 🫣😂 6d

All Creatures Great and Small | James Herriot

pick

This was a delight! It‘s been on my shelves for years, and a #blameitonLitsy trifecta prompted me to read it: I put it in my #192025 lineup for 1972, @TheAromaofBooks spotted it on my #BookSpin list & suggested a casual buddy read, then it landed as my August #BookSpin…clearly, it was meant to be!

Herriot‘s descriptions of the Yorkshire countryside make me long for England (admittedly, it doesn‘t take much to trigger that longing in me!). ⤵️

Librarybelle

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) His stories of life as a vet range from hilarious to charming, as do the personalities he introduces us to along the way. I loved every one of Herriot‘s anecdotes—from Siegfried‘s infuriating but somehow also charming contradictoriness, to Tricki Woo the beloved and overfed Pekingese, to Herriot‘s disastrous attempts to court Helen. I devoured the short chapters like the best treats, using the book as a reward to follow heavier reads. 2w

AmyG I read these as a young adult and absolutely loved them. 2w

SamAnne A favorite of mine from my early teenage years. 2w

Ruthiella I also read these as a teenager and remember loving them. The TV show was also on PBS at the time which was wonderful. 😍 2w

Sparklemn @Ruthiella There is a newer version on PBS that is wonderful as well. 2w

Librarybelle Great choice! 2w

Daisey I loved these as well! 2w

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella @Sparklemn My parents loved the original TV show... I've just put the newer version DVDs on hold at the library, to watch with my dad 😊 2w

TheAromaofBooks It was SO fun to revisit this one! I'm starting All Things Bright and Beautiful next week 😂 2w

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Yaaaay! It is SO tempting to start in on All Things Bright and Beautiful... but I'm trying my best to finish a couple of reading challenges and can't believe October is almost over 😩 I'm planning to start #192030 in the new year, and I might just have to put Bright & Beautiful and Wise & Wonderful down for 1974 and 1976 😁 1w
