1984 | George Orwell

6% This week was definitely the lowest of all. My top 3 are The Night, 1984 and Of Mice and Men

@dabbe

BooksandCoffee4Me I loved reading Of Mice and Men with my students! Have you seen the movie with Gary Senise and Jon Malkovich? Exceptional! 10h

dabbe My lowest score of the 3, too. Love your choices! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 9h

InkedBookworm13 @BooksandCoffee4Me Yes, I watched it in high school for one of my English classes. I don't think I appreciated it back then, so it's probably due a re-watch. 9h

Oryx and Crake | Margaret Atwood

28/100 for the third AP Lit list.

Some faves:
1) A Prayer for Owen Meany
2) Middlemarch
3) Oryx and Crake (I need to re-read this trilogy!)

@dabbe #ThreeListThursday #TLT

ImperfectCJ Actually, if I do re-read the MaddAddam trilogy, I'll probably start with the third book (MaddAddam) and work my way back. I remember liking the first book more after reading the other two, and I'd like to see if changing the order improves the reading experience. They're not really chronological 1 to 3, so I feel comfy mixing and matching. 21h

dabbe #s 1 and 3 are on my TBR. Loved MIDDLEMARCH! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 9h

Moon of the Crusted Snow: A Novel | Waubgeshig Rice

So I just finished Wind and Truth and now I need time to process what I just read. It really is the end of an era.

But now I need another great read to fight off a book hangover so here‘s my lineup for February.

mariaku21 The Reformatory is a book that stayed with me for weeks after reading it. 21h

wildwoodreads @mariaku21 I‘m really looking forward to it! 6h

Amiable @JenReadsAlot @Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie @AmyG @Aims42 @Susanita @AnnCrystal @Deblovestoread Knowing that you guys are all out there helps to keep me from tearing my hair out. 1d

melissajayne It‘s been like 2 weeks and I‘m bloody exhausted 1d

TheBookHippie @Susanita we have one here. We‘re all trained. 😵‍💫 1d

TheBookHippie @Amiable he is doing exactly what he said he would do, plus project 2025 -item by item. None of it shocks me -but all of it makes me so incredibly sad that people voted for this, knowing it all. 1d

Amiable @Susanita I work at a health system and have spent the past 2 weeks helping put together the guidelines and procedures for ICE action in any of our hospitals. Being in a blue state with sanctuary cities has put a bullseye on our backs. (edited) 1d

Amiable @TheBookHippie Yep. Not a surprise. But it's still terrifying to have to live through it. 1d

dabbe Shit indeed. He's throwing it everywhere as fast as he can so that we can't even clean up one mess before another is thrown. He. Is. Evil. Period. 🥺🔥🥺 1d

TheBookHippie @Amiable Yup. Not a fan. 1d

TheBookHippie @dabbe it‘s on purpose chaos- so watch what isn‘t being reported. 1d

lil1inblue It's only February. I'm so tired. 1d

dabbe @TheBookHippie #truth 👊🏻 1d

Magpiegem @TheBookHippie agreed! @Amiable sending love & strength from your friends in the UK 1d

Suet624 It‘s unreal the amount of damage done… 1d

AnnCrystal I too am grateful everyday that I have found Litsy 📚💝💝💝. 1d

AnnCrystal Right now, the world is all too unreal to rationalize🥺...we're all seem trapped in a horrible story (book/movie). (edited) 1d

Chelsea.Poole Same. @thebookhippie — you‘re right. It‘s part of the plan. Throw so much out there and see what sticks. Keep the media wheels spinning and people exhausted so we get tired and worn down and can‘t pay attention to what‘s happening behind the scenes. It‘s a mess and a shame. 1d

TheBookHippie @Chelsea.Poole Yup. 1d

CoverToCoverGirl Literally the most despised person(s) in the world… and untold damage done. My heart hurts.😢 They will all be on the wrong side of history. 1d

CarolynM It‘s horrible to watch from this distance. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you. Sending love & hugs. 16h

Anna40 Same here in the schools. Getting ready for ICE. I‘m an EL teacher and one of my Ukrainian kids said yesterday he hopes he doesn‘t get arrested. He‘s 9. 15h

Morning Star: Book III of The Red Rising Trilogy | Pierce Brown

so-so

Finished this book because I needed to know how it ended but honestly, the violence in this series is so gross. After book 2 i vowed not read another but alas, how quickly we forget. I see why people like the series: it‘s epic and has great characters, but it‘s also hard to relate to the sheer scale of the space battles. I think I‘m done for reals this time.
