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! 2mo

Cheryl_Russell 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). 2mo

PuddleJumper What's ap literature? 2mo

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. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes I say if you even thought you might have read it, it should count! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

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. 2mo

MaleficentBookDragon I hated Ethan Frome soooooooo much!

Ethan Frome

2mo

MaleficentBookDragon Better than last week but still not a lot. 21 (lady week 17). 2mo

dabbe @MaleficentBookDragon You're still in fantastic company; pretty much most of us are between 5-30. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @MaleficentBookDragon That book is so flippin' sad! 😭 2mo

PuddleJumper @dabbe Ahh, ok we don't have anything like that in the U.K 2mo

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) 2mo

BkClubCare @MaleficentBookDragon - there are some HILARIOUS youtube videos by HS kids mocking that book. 2mo

BkClubCare P 2mo

dabbe @PuddleJumper I should have explained with the 1st list last week. Sorry about that! 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @BkClubCare #yahooyou! Great Ex: 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement I checked off 14 again. Four were assigned to me in HS. 2mo

LA1 Rank 72 out of 81 with a score of 23 🤷🏼‍♀️ I didn‘t think I would get any but a few is good 😊 2mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement There's quite a few on this list that I'm not even remotely interested in reading! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @LA1 You got more than a few, and you're in good company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

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. 2mo

BookNAround 44 on this one so fewer than last week. 😉 2mo

LiseWorks I only read 14 and only because I had to either for school or it was on my tbr forever 2mo

TheLudicReader A whopping 18! 😬 2mo

peaKnit Doh! 10! lol 2mo

bibliothecarivs Seven for me this time, more than my four from last time. 2mo

dabbe @Patchshank I have quite a few, too. Maybe someday, right? 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @BookNAround #yourock! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @LiseWorks I hear ya! #metoo 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader We're in good company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit Dohing is not allowed! 😂 Ya done good are in great company with the rest of us! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @bibliothecarivs Some book covers on this list did not do much to make me want to read them! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

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 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @Texreader Yay for women writers! Curious as to which ones you question, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

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. 2mo

Texreader @dabbe Oh that sounds lovely! 2mo

rwmg 28, better than my 21 last week.

Quite a few I know I've read but remember almost nothing about. 2mo

thebacklistbook 11/100 I'm sure I forgot some. 2mo

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!📚 2mo

tpixie 16/100. Apparently I go for the ‘trash‘ books instead of classics!! 2mo

Eggs 🧡🤗 2mo

dabbe @Texreader It truly was. 🤩 2mo

dabbe @rwmg Our brains can only remember so much when we read a lot of books, right? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @thebacklistbook I'm sure you did! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

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. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

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. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

dabbe @Eggs 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

tpixie @dabbe 💙🩵💙 2mo

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! 2mo

dabbe @azulaco Ya kicked my sorry butt! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2mo

iread2much 17 on this one, so a bit better 😅 2mo

dabbe @iread2much Yay, you! You're in great company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 2mo

iread2much @dabbe thank you for the invite 😁 2mo
