Tagging Littens who played last week. 🤩

Librarybelle I got 16, but there are so many I‘m in the middle of but did not count because I did not finish them. Some I‘ve not heard of before and others are on my to read list. 😂 2w

BarkingMadRead 27 for me (I counted two that I‘m currently reading) 2w

lil1inblue Uh oh. This era does not bode well for me... 😂 2w

See All 71 Comments

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, 22 only! Jane Austen saved me on this one. So many I‘d not heard of but look interesting! Remembered how much I loved Woman in White. Thanks for the tag @dabbe 💛 2w

CSeydel Just 11. Not bad for a STEM major, though, right? … right?? 2w

CSeydel Probably another 11 on my TBR. But most of them I hadn‘t heard of 😔 2w

Amor4Libros I got 1…Moby Dick! 🤣🤣 2w

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Most from the 1700s, I'm like 😳! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Thank goodness for the #hashtagbrigade! We were able to count quite a few! (and I included MILL ON THE FLOSS since we will be finished soon). Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue 🎯🩵🎯! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me #ditto! I adored WOMAN IN WHITE! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @CSeydel R.I.G.H.T.! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 2w

dabbe @Amor4Libros And I only read “Call me Ishmael“ and called it a day! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Got 22, which is not too bad for a Lit major focusing on contemporary texts! 2w

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I think you'll kick some serious ass as we move forward in years! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵📚🩵 2w

willaful Only 20 for me! Would be a bit higher if I had participated in *all* the #HashtagBrigade reads. ;-) Nothing I especially want to read but certainly might if the brigade does them. :-) 2w

peaKnit I know face slaps are not allowed but @dabbe…I got 4 😂 thank gosh for Jane Austen. 2w

shortsarahrose I got 12, which is honestly better than I expected (thanks mostly to actually liking 19th century American lit - Melville, Hawthorne, Poe). Sorrows of Young Werther should count twice cause I read it in German 😆 (surprised that with three Goethe texts on the list, Faust wasn‘t one of them! I guess maybe because it‘s technically a play?) 2w

Bklover 18- thanks to #hashtagbrigade and Jane Austen. There are quite a few I hadn‘t even heard of! 2w

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 2w

Bookwormjillk Lucky 13. Grateful for#PemberLittens and #HashtagBrigade 🤣 2w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I definitely counted Mill on the Floss. We‘re almost done! 2w

Read4life Thanks for the tag!! 💙📚💙 2w

tpixie @Daisey 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh! It is too bad they couldn't find a few more 😂 thanks for the tag! 2w

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! I‘m going to get my book out before I do the survey as my memory was much better back then. 2w

Daisey @tpixie I went through and have read 39 (including currently reading Mill on the Floss). I‘ll have to watch for these the next few weeks. 2w

dabbe @willaful The #hashtagbrigade saved my sorry ass! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @peaKnit I think the only one I read from the 1700s was GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. The others I was like 😳. 🤣 We'll get better as the list moves forward a few years!
Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @shortsarahrose Yep, I think plays don't count, though they should. And you should count it twice! I read COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO in French, and I counted it twice. I needed all the help I could get! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @Bklover IKR? 1700s was like 😳!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I did, too! 🤣 2w

dabbe @Read4life YW! 😍 2w

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣😍🤣 2w

dabbe @Deblovestoread You have this book? How cool is that? I'm thinking of getting it! 😍 2w

dabbe @Daisey You beat my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 📚😉👍🏼💝. (edited) 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 2w

Lesliereadsalot Thanks for the tag but I can barely remember what I had for lunch let alone books from my far past! 🩷 2w

AnnCrystal Whispering again...👀...Zero!

I did watch many as movies, but it's been years.

1 - Carmilla. Long Time TBR book (I'm horrible, still need to read Dracula too).

Movies

2- North and South I saw one version of this many years ago and fell in love with the story

3- Orson Welles In Jane Eyre 💝💝💝.

📚💝. (edited) 2w

melissajayne 17/100 2w

rwmg 39 including 2 I DNF-ed (Clarissa and Tristam Shandy).
2w

Eggs 6 🙀🙄!!! 2w

julesG I might have read 13 books from that list. 2w

julesG @shortsarahrose I had similar thoughts about Goethe and was wondering why a few others were missing. Them being plays might be the reason. 2w

Amiable I don‘t even care about my score —the fact that I could check off “Clarissa” caused me to shout “YES!!” and pump my fist in celebration. 🎉 ☝🏼😀 2w

tpixie 12. It said the average was 18! 2w

TheLudicReader Hahahahaha. 8. 2w

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot 😍 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal I adored OW as Rochester! That's my favorite version, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @melissajayne Those 1700s! #oy 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @rwmg You kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @Eggs Thank goodness we're past the 1700s! I was like 😳 when I saw those books! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @julesG I was all about the “might“ on this list. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @julesG I think you're right. 🎯 2w

dabbe @Amiable Is that like the longest book in the English language? I don't think I could even attempt--nor would I want to! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @tpixie Together we average 18.5, so we're good! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

dabbe @TheLudicReader Reading with the #hashtagbrigade and loving Austen are the only two things that gave me a few more books. 1700s? #wtf 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2w

Amiable @dabbe It is the longest! I couldn‘t have gotten through it without the Litsy #Clarissa crew. 2w

dabbe @Amiable I barely made it through WAR AND PEACE, so I don't know if I could even fathom reading this one! Was the writing good? 2w

tpixie @dabbe I like your math! 2w

AnnCrystal @dabbe 🤩👍🏼😍🎬💝. 2w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Only 8 from these. I should check a few of these out. I don't remember much about A Modest Proposal other than a one line plot description, but I know I thought it was clever. Wild that we read it in school. I enjoy Edgar Allan Poe, so those two are probably the favorites. I've seen Emma on film and read a graphic novel. I'm counting that in my tally because I've decided that Austen novels just aren't for me. 2w

dabbe This was me looking through the ones from the 1700s: 😳😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 2w

ImperfectCJ I'm late taking this quiz, but I got 21. I want to read Candide and The Sorrows of Young Werther. I've read everything by Austen so if there'd been a few more of those, I would have gotten a higher score. :-) 1w

dabbe @ImperfectCJ 🎯 re: Austen. I have WERTHER on my TBR, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

RaeLovesToRead 5 :/ 1w

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead For pretty much all of the 1700 books, I was like 😳. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

Fuck You George | Devon Harris

I want to feel like more
More than this routine
Than this loneliness that hums beneath everything.
I want to feel like I was meant—

#14639769

TheBookgeekFrau I'm curious, if you don't mind explaining, what do those numbers mean? 1mo

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau #ditto 1mo

Trashcanman @TheBookgeekFrau I don‘t mind explaining. I‘ve been open about my mental health diagnoses and struggles. This will be a trigger for some so I‘ll hide it in the next comment. Suicidal ideation trigger warning @Dabbingpat 1mo

See All 6 Comments

Trashcanman I chose this “name” to write poetry under. There was a time where I had been involuntarily committed. At this time I was asked to note how many times a day I had a suicidal thought. This number represents the mean number for the amount of suicidal thoughts I had over a period of 180.8 days per day. It holds a significance to me. I feel like I‘m mostly in a better place. I‘ve stopped taking meds save for one. (edited) 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman First, it's nice to see your face instead of scary creatures!! You have a nice, kind face--glad you decided to share. I'll put the rest in a spoiler comment. 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman Wow, that's a lot of time to spend thinking about leaving this world. And I'm glad you're still here! We've had some great little convos here, and I miss you when you're gone. I appreciate your openness with your mental health, and I've felt for you deeply when things are going well.I don't always know what to say when that happens. I'm happy for you that you're in a more stable place now and back with us on Litsy.Thanks for sharing❤️ 1mo

Turner Classic Movies: The Essentials: 52 Must-See Movies and Why They Matter | Jeremy Arnold

pick

After compiling so many movie surveys lately for #TLT, I decided to dive into this fun-and-fact-filled book by TCM. It's a thoughtfully compiled guide to some of the most influential films in cinema history and based on THE ESSENTIALS series aired weekly on TCM. Aimed at both casual viewers and dedicated film enthusiasts, the book offers a balanced selection of classics spanning multiple genres, eras, and styles. I'll have to read the others!

AmyG I love TCM…old movies. 2mo
