LitStephanie The Dark is Rising! That takes me back. Are you re-reading childhood favorites or discovering classic gems for the first time? 6d

Roary47 @willaful Honestly, just lucky I think. These are my random reads selected in #Roll100 that are on my shelves I haven‘t read yet. @LitStephanie I haven‘t, but you made me really excited. I was a struggling reader growing up so wasn‘t able to read a lot of the stories my peers were reading. 🥰💛 5d

Roary47 I still haven‘t read it, but watched it in my fourth grade class for our book-movie Fridays. My teacher (my Dad) was really awesome in ensuring a type of literacy even if many of my class wasn‘t readers. I‘m too scared for all that raw emotion. 😭 (edited) 4mo

CBee @dabbe I will never read this again. My heart can‘t take it 😢😢 4mo

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me 🩵😭🩵 4mo

dabbe @Eggs 🩵😭🩵 4mo

dabbe @Roary47 First, how cool is is that your dad was your teacher? 😍 And yes, the emotion is as raw as it gets. 🩵😭🩵 4mo

dabbe @CBee Same here, m'dear. It's a favorite, but that doesn't mean I can go through it again. 🩵😭🩵 4mo

bellabella I cry every time.
Why did they have to die so?
Please live forever. 😭 4mo

dabbe @bellabella As an agonostice, I just don't know about an after-life for humans. But good kitties and good boys and girls? #therehastobe 🖤🐾🖤 4mo

CBee @bellabella agreed 😭😭😭 4mo

DebinHawaii Yeah, this was the book (& movie) that broke me for sad animal stories. Even more so than Bambi & Old Yeller! 🥺😢😭 But excellent haiku! 🖤🐝💛 3mo

The Most Dangerous Game | Richard Connell

pick

I‘m surprised I didn‘t read this one in school. I hadn‘t even heard of it until my husband mentioned it. Short, but good.

Finished March 1, 2025.

Reggie Funny enough, we read this in 9th grade with Mrs.Gunserson. She had tea and smokes stained teeth and was fcking tough. TOUGH. We all also liked the story. Have you read The Scarlet Ibis. We also read that with her and that was definitely something. 5mo

Bookzombie @Reggie Your description of memories are always so vivid. I haven‘t read that one. I looked it up and will have to find it. 🙂 5mo

The Most Dangerous Game | Richard Connell

pick

I listened to this a few months ago and hadn‘t got around to a review.

I had seen the original 1932 film and so knew the “twist” already. Still, I was unprepared for 1.) how short it is & 2.) how well written it is. Possibly one of the best stories from a technical stand point I have ever read. If I recall correctly, though,the ending is where Connell‘s technicality falters, suffering from a rushed and clunky conclusion.

Wild Life | Cynthia DeFelice

so-so

It starts off with young Eric finally getting his hunting license. He's excited about getting to shoot when his parents get sent overseas to fight for their country. Eric is forced to move across the country to live with his grandparents who Eric dislikes. while his grandma was at church and grandpa was out working, a dog came across their yard covered in porcupine quills. Eric takes care of the dog but his grandpa wants her out of the house. 1/2

Regan.Weenk While his grandparents are out again, he heads out to the prairies with his dog to “live like the pioneers.“ This five-day adventure was full of learning experiences, but eventually, he heads home and is reunited with his grandparents, who are a lot more welcoming than before. This book is hard to picture in your head. The setting is just an old house and lots of flat prairie land, and it's a slower, thoughtful story. 10mo
