#ThreeListThursday

Lots of favorites on this list: Jane Eyre, Watership Down, War & Peace, The Shell Seekers to name a few

Unpopular opinion stinkers: The Alchemist and Captain Corelli‘s Mandolin

@dabbe

Ruthiella I hated The Alchemist (allegory is not for me) and was disappointed by Captain Corelli. 1d
nanuska_153 Interesting, a lot of children and YA literature there 1d
dabbe I tried THE ALCHEMIST and couldn't get into it. All I know about CCM is that it's the book Hugh Grant's reading at the end of NOTTING HILL (with a pregnant Julia Roberts lounging on his lap! 🤣) Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 20h

57 which includes a few DNFs. I once carried around an old and old-smelling paperback of Rushdie‘s Midnight Children and finally got rid of it. #someday
I had Pratchett‘s The Color of Magic out from the library but it was returned before I read it. #sigh

dabbe I say no sighs. #hailthebail! We read what we're feeling we want to read! And you still kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 1d
BkClubCare @dabbe - truly, you will likely have the bestest fun time reading the Count of Monte Cristo. Perhaps it is a book waiting for its right time with you 😊 1d

Thank you for the tag @dabbe 😊

I agree, the list was particularly Pratchett heavy! 😅 Pictured are three titles that I would like to re-read and lucky me, the tagged book is going to be the #HashtagBrigade pick for September! 🥳

willaful Oh, that should be fun! 1d
dabbe You sure kicked my sorry butt! I look forward to BRIDESHEAD, having never read it. 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 1d
Ruthiella @willaful I think it will be tons of fun. I read it first in the last century not too many years after the popular miniseries (Hello Jeremy Irons!😃)! 1d
Ruthiella @dabbe It‘s going to be great taking a crack at this after so many years with the group! 👍 1d

One Hundred Years of Solitude | Gabriel Garcia Marquez

🩵 One of my top 5 favorites of all time: One Hundred Years of Solitude
🩵 The one on my tbr I most want to read (though my answer could change tomorrow): Cold Comfort Farm
🩵 A confession: I haven't read any Terry Pratchett or Jacqueline Wilson (thus my poor scores 🤣). I just never got around to them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I did better than last week, but man, what a quirky list! If anyone has ideas for future lists re: books, movies, or music, I am all ears! 🤣

The books I chose this week are ones that have been on my TBR f-o-r-e-v-e-r! Please give me some votes as to which one I should move up the list!

PS Do I get extra credit for reading THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO in French? Shout out to Mme. Quihuis, my HS French teacher! 😍

AmyG A Prayer for Owen Meany is one of my most favorite books ever. 2d
BkClubCare Extra Credit!! 🌟 oui!! 2d
dabbe @AmyG Is it a series? 2d

I‘ve read 45% of this month‘s list- possibly more because there were some I wasn‘t sure about. Favorites:
1) The Woman In White
2) Thorn Birds
3) Gatsby

My daughter is reading Lord of the Flies in school now and doesn‘t have good things to say 🤣

@dabbe #TLT #ThreeListThursday

ChaoticMissAdventures Lord of the Flies is tough, I cannot believe they are still teaching it!! There are so many better books out there. I still need to read Woman In White.... it's on that forever long TBR. 2d
Bookwormjillk @ChaoticMissAdventures Right? Middle School is tough enough without having to read Lord of the Flies. 2d
dabbe Wow! She's reading it in middle school? It's on our district list for sophomores. That was a hard one to read and teach. Can you believe I have yet to read THE THORN BIRDS? 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 2d
Bookwormjillk @dabbe Oh @dabbe it‘s so melodramatic. You‘ve got to read it. 2d
dabbe @Bookwormjillk I admit I have seen quite a few scenes from the show with Richard Chamberlain (hubba, hubba, gay or not), so I'll have to give it a whirl! 😍 1d
