jenniferw88 1700s were NOT scary for me thanks to my MA 🤣 1w

CSeydel Yikes, only 13, although a couple of my favorite books did make the list (Silas Marner and Tess of the D‘Urbervilles) 1w

jenniferw88 18 this time! 1w

See All 65 Comments

Chrissyreadit Only 9- but a lot of nf books. 1w

Lynnsoprano Wow, only 12! However, there are 19th century authors who are missing from this list, whose books I would have expected to make the list—Hawthorne, Austen, Brontë, to name a few. 1w

Bookwormjillk Ooof only 9! 1w

Susanita @Lynnsoprano I guess the divisions are not entirely exact with so many books. There were some Austen and Brontë last week. In fact, without them my score would have been even worse! 1w

Lynnsoprano @susanita Ah, that explains it. I was down with COVID last week—not bad except for the headache. I‘ll have to go back and look at that list. 1w

BarkingMadRead I only had 15. I own like 5 or so more but haven‘t read them yet 🙈 1w

Bklover 15- thanks to a years ago obsession with Jules Verne and HG Wells. And, of course, #hashtagbrigade 1w

Librarybelle So bizarre—I did worse this week than last with only 13! And I call myself a classics reader! 🙄 1w

willaful 12 for me. Alice and Little Women my favs, of course! I'd like to read What Maisie Knew. Calling the #HashtagBrigade ! 😁 1w

dabbe @jenniferw88 Yay for you! I find them rather terrifying myself. 🤣 1w

dabbe @CSeydel I think my score will be right around there, too! TESS was my #1 fave book in 2023 with the #hashtagbrigade! And we're currently reading THE MILL ON THE FLOSS. I loved MIDDLEMARCH, too. Is SILAS your favorite of hers? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @jenniferw88 #woohooyou Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @Chrissyreadit 🎯🩵🎯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @Lynnsoprano There are still more books from the 1800s coming your way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead We need to get them into the #hashtagbrigade! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I feel it! I haven't taken it yet, but I think I'll score around the same! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @Susanita @Lynnsoprano The list I have is ordered by centuries, but not necessarily in chronological order of that century. So, the 1800s could have one from 1813, then the next from 1802, then the next from 1889, and so on. 🤷‍♀️ 1w

dabbe @Lynnsoprano I hope you're feeling better! 😍 1w

dabbe @Bklover IKR? I still need to read WAR OF THE WORLDS. I've read his others, but not that one! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @Librarybelle I think I'll score worse, too! But, man, some of those titles I have never even heard of! I'm more of a British Lit classics girl, not a world one. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @willaful Ooh, that one does sound good for the #hashtagbrigade, doesn't it? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

Bklover Thanks for the tag! I truly appreciate it. 🩷🩷🩷. Also loved Tess with #hashtagbrigade (edited) 1w

Susanita @Lynnsoprano Ugh. I hope you feel better! 1w

Eggs 💗🌺💖 1w

CogsOfEncouragement 19 for me this round. 1w

ImperfectCJ I missed last week, so I'm playing catch-up. I've read 17 from this round. Love Alice and was surprised how much I enjoyed Kim and Sister Carrie when I read them. Now to post about last week's list! 1w

dabbe @Bklover 💜💚💜 1w

dabbe @Eggs 💜💚💜 1w

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement We scored pretty closely together this time! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

dabbe @ImperfectCJ We're close in our scores! Added your choices to my TBR. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

tpixie @dabbe yikes! 9% I am currently reading Les MIs! December 31 that‘ll get me up to 10%! ❤️‍🔥. @dabbe @CSeydel Tess is a favorite ❤️ (edited) 1w

CSeydel @tpixie it‘s so good. Reminds me, I‘m due for a re-read … on the other hand, I still haven‘t read Jude the Obscure. Decisions decisions 1w

CSeydel @dabbe believe it or not, I haven‘t read Mill on the Floss OR Middlemarch (despite having the latter on my shelf for like 3 years, gazing dolefully at me every time I walk by with another book in my hand). But yes Silas Marner is one of my favorite books of all books! 1w

Faranae 30! Some of these authors feel over-represented, like they could have just chosen 1 or max 2 by that author and fit someone else in. Some of these I really have to vote against! I read André Gide's “fruits of the earth“ in French and yikes. Also I love Sherlock but just put the Hound on there and move on! 1w

rwmg 29 Brings home how Anglocentric my 19th century reading has been, even if not completely so. But an embarrassing number where I've never heard of book or author. 1w

AnnCrystal
Thanks for the tag
📚☺️👍🏼💝. (edited) 1w

peaKnit Ope, 5! I also love Tess, I see she is a popular read! I read it in Highschool. 1w

Daisey I‘ve read 30 from this week‘s list, and that‘s with consistently reading from the 1001 list for the last several years. 1w

tpixie @Daisey 🩷🩷🩷 1w

tpixie @CSeydel I know it‘s so hard to do a reread when there‘s so many other books still left to read! 1w

dabbe @tpixie You're in good company; most of us are between 5 and 25! Here's hoping the 1900s are better for all of us! And I think we should be able to include LES as 3 books just for its length alone! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

dabbe @CSeydel And SILAS is the one of hers I haven't read! 🤣 I adored MIDDLEMARCH and am enjoying MILL, though MIDDLE is better IMHO. I'm moving SILAS up on the TBR! 😍 1w

dabbe @Faranae The Sherlock is a hard one for me as I am a MAJOR Sherlock fan. But I see your point. Perhaps only one book per author, right? Yet some writers are way better than others and contributed more to the overall literary aesthetics of history. Hard choices all around. BTW, you beat my sorry butt. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

dabbe @rwmg 🩵🎯🩵 So many world authors I've never heard of, nor their books. I need the clock to slow down so that I can get to them! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🥰 1w

dabbe @peaKnit I applaud any teacher who had high schoolers read TESS. I adored that book! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

dabbe @Daisey You know, some of them just don't look that appealing to me. I don't care how low my score may be, if I'm not even interested by the cover or the little snippet provided in the 1001 book, I ain't reading it! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 1w

CatLass007 My score was 11 and I think I should get some credit for at least TRYING to read Les Miz three different times. But I didn‘t check it. A couple of these I‘m pretty sure I read so I checked them. I read most of these with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes, #HashtagBrigade, #RandomClassics, and #WhatTheDickens, so thank you #LITSY! I also DNF several others. But, as @dabbe reminds me, #HailTheBail #BetterBooksAhead (edited) 1w

CatLass007 Three that I own and want to read are Anna Karenina, War and Peace, and Middlemarch. 1w

TheLudicReader 🤣 7. I still have the essay I wrote about Tess. Hated her. But I loved The Mayor of Casterbridge. 1w

catiewithac 27/100 but why so much Zola? It was a weird list. 1w

dabbe @CatLass007 YES! I love book surveys, but I don't always agree with them. If the book doesn't look good to me, I don't care who thinks I should read it! 🤣 And 🎯 for all of the books thanks to Litsy. I feel the same way. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @CatLass007 If I had to put these in order of what I enjoyed, I'd say MIDDLEMARCH, ANNA KARENINA, then WAR AND PEACE. But don't listen to me! 🤣 1w

dabbe @TheLudicReader Well, here's something where we aren't in sync. TESS was my favorite read of 2023 (maybe that was a crappy reading year! 🤣). I want to read that essay when I get there! And I never read MAYOR, but I adored FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWS. That Hardy! #oy Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

dabbe @catiewithac I guess Zola is Ze besZt. 🤣🤷‍♀️😍 I've never read anything by him! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1w

tpixie @dabbe lol Les Mis as 3 books yes! (edited) 1w

tpixie @CatLass007 I‘m hoping to read Anna K next year. I missed out on @TheBookHippie buddy read this year 1w

CatLass007 @tpixie I didn‘t know there was a buddy read to miss. 1w

dabbe @tpixie 🎯🩵🎯 1w

tpixie @CatLass007 🩷 it‘s hard to keep up with all the buddy reads!! 7d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I think I'm coming in with the lowest score: 4! I'm confident enough to carry that torch. 🤣 I enjoyed Little Women & Dracula. Jekyll & Hyde and Alice's Adventures...not so much. I am not familiar with many of these. I should probably do a little research and bump myself up to a nice, round eight books read. 5d

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Some scored “0“, so you're not the lowest! Even if you were, who cares? 🤣 I loved Jekyll & Hyde, but did NOT care of any of Alice's adventures! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 4d

Emma
Matilda
The Hobbit
LOTR
Dune
The Pillars of the Earth

Tagging just a few (🤣) who've played before. And to the UK, why are Pratchett and Wilson so huge over there? 😍

BarkingMadRead I‘ve read 49! 3w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #yahooyou!!! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

Soubhiville Terry Pratchett should be popular everywhere! He‘s a favorite of mine. 3w

See All 59 Comments

Soubhiville I‘ve read 47, and I‘d say my favorites are LOTR, Terry Pratchett‘s, and Watership Down. 3w

dabbe @Soubhiville Good to know! I didn't get around to reading him for #AuthorAMonth, but he is now on my major radar thanks to you! 💙🩵💙 3w

dabbe @Soubhiville #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

CogsOfEncouragement 43 for this one. So many good ones too. Some I‘ve enjoyed more than once. 3w

CSeydel I got 47. My favorites are probably Rebecca, A Christmas Carol, and Wind in the Willows 3w

CSeydel But Terry Pratchett‘s books are excellent also! He has a way of combining wordplay, satire and fantasy to hilarious effect (edited) 3w

jenniferw88 50! 3w

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 😘💛🏷 3w

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @CSeydel Love your choices! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @CSeydel Another reason I'm moving him up on my TBR pile! 3w

dabbe @jenniferw88 W🤩WZA! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

julesG Thanks to Pratchett my tally comes up to 27. 😁 3w

peaKnit Thank you for the tag! Only 23 for me 🤦🏼‍♀️ I 3w

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 3w

Amiable Again with the Pratchett! 😬 Mine was 39 this week. “A Prayer for Owen Meany” is my favorite book. But I also loved “A Suitable Boy” and “A Town Called Alice.” 3w

dabbe @julesG He must be one of the best writers ever! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @peaKnit No palm slapping allowed! 😘 I have a feeling my score will be right there in with yours. I don't think I read any from 50-100! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @Amiable All 3 I haven't read but are on the TBR, thanks to you! I agree about Pratchett. I am totally missing something! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

peaKnit Thank you!! I‘d have been in bigger trouble had Harry Potter not rescued me lol! Many on my TBR all the same:) 3w

Amor4Libros 13! 😅 Harry Potter helped me get to double digits 🤣 3w

Lesliereadsalot I read 36 thanks to taking two semesters of Russian novels in college, along with both 18th and 19th century British novels. I did love those Russian novels, long as they were! 3w

TheLudicReader 30. How can I even call myself a reader? 3w

BooksandCoffee4Me @TheLudicReader I feel the same way with 39! I‘m going to rationalize that as an English teacher, I had to read several of these repeatedly which left me with too little reading energy for the others. 😊 3w

Lynnsoprano 25 🙄 Mostly the English classics. I‘m hanging my head 3w

Librarybelle 31 for me. There are a few I am in the middle of, but still, ouch! 3w

dabbe @peaKnit I love how they linked the HP books separately here but only as one book (series) on the American Great Read. More bang for your buck on this list! 🤩 3w

dabbe @Amor4Libros Yay for HP! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot I bow to your wow. I could NEVER had survived two semesters of Russian novels! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @TheLudicReader No talk like that, missy! 😘 You are the queen of contemporary literature, and there weren't so many of those on this list. And again, who puts MATILDA alongside WAR AND PEACE? Totally weird list! I bet I score right around where you did. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me 🎯🩵🎯 Usually in my years of teaching English, I was lucky to read 15-20 completely new books all year! I'd constantly have to reread the ones I taught because I had to be ready for those smart kids who would ask me persnickety questions! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

CSeydel It‘s a very odd list! 3w

dabbe @Lynnsoprano No hanging your lovely head! 😘 I know I'll score around the same! We just have more books for our TBR. Except I don't think I'll add all 30+ Pratchetts and Wilsons! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @Librarybelle I'll be ouchie right there with you! It's a quirky list, to say the least! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 3w

rwmg 59 including those started but not finished (looking at you Gabriel García Márquez) and some I know I've read but cannot remember anything beyond the title. 3w

dabbe @rwmg W🤩WZA! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

Amor4Libros @TheLudicReader I got 13! 🤣🤣 3w

dabbe @Amor4Libros Way better than zero! Seriously, though, what a weird list! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! 3w

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 🥳👍🏼📚💝. 3w

AnnCrystal 🤔😂 I've decided to whisper my total instead of shouting it out...1/100 · 1% 🧐🤔🤗.

I have some of these in my bookshelf waiting for me...and I have watched some as movies...

📚💝. 3w

AnnCrystal My three, must read someday: Harry Potter books, the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, and The Christmas Carol ☺️📚💝. (edited) 3w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'm at 26 from this list. I hated better than the bottom half of the list. I do have others on my TBR, so it would be interesting to come back in a couple of years to see if I've done better. I really do need to read some Pratchett. Faves here are LOTR trilogy, HP & the Goblet of Fire, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (I'm surprised by the last one as I'm not a big Sci-Fi fan, but it was accessible. ) 3w

melissajayne 41 3w

tpixie Hmm 36% 3w

dabbe @Deblovestoread YW! 😍 3w

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 3w

dabbe @AnnCrystal You are adorable! I say movie watching counts! It's sometimes hard for me to read a book after I've seen the movie, especially if it closely follows the novel. Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I don't think I read anything on the lower half of the list! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @tpixie We're close in our scores! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3w

dabbe @AnnCrystal Especially A CHRISTMAS CAROL. I reread that one (and see a bunch of movie variations) every year during holiday season. 🎄 3w

Bklover 43! Thanks for the tag @dabbe 🩷 3w

dabbe @Bklover YW! 😍 3w

AnnCrystal @dabbe it is difficult to appreciate a movie that has been separated from the book it came from. I only really had a bit of trouble once, with the movie Valentine's. Tom Savage book version was so much better, although I did enjoy watching david boreanaz 😍😂.

🤩👍🏼💝. We always watch the Christmas Carol movies, every year we try to watch all the different versions that show on TV. Really must read the book! ☺️👍🏼📚🎬💖. 3w

Bookwormjillk I‘ve seen 27 which is about 25 more than I would have expected. This reminds me I‘ve been meaning to watch Shakespeare in Love. 3mo

CogsOfEncouragement 26 for me. My all time favorite movie is My Fair Lady. (edited) 3mo

See All 50 Comments

CSeydel 42 … I‘m exactly average 🤣 3mo

melissajayne 43 for me 3mo

rwmg 38, which I was surprised by. There were a couple that sounded vaguely familiar and which I might have seen on TV and forgotten about. 3mo

Amor4Libros 30…I thought it was going to be lower 😅 3mo

willaful Only 29 for me. I'm not that into the sort of movies that win Oscars, apparently. 3mo

Blueberry 37, it was hard to remember some. 3mo

nelsonmatt890 I like to connect with you and read, lol. 3mo

AnnCrystal Thanks for the tag 🎬🥳💝. 3mo

TheLudicReader 42! I am exactly average, too, @CSeydel ! 3mo

kspenmoll 38 but now I want to see some of the older films. I mostly skip movies with war & too much violence- lingers in me too long 3mo

Amiable Oh, man, only 29 for me. I‘m not a big movie person (weird, I know). I did love “The King‘s Speech.” And also, how DO you solve a problem like Maria? 🧐😀 3mo

Cheryl_Russell 6, which is more than I thought I would get. 😂😂. Obviously not a big movie person. 😂🤣 3mo

shortsarahrose 40! But I minored in film studies in college and watched a lot of old musicals during the pandemic 💃 3mo

The_Penniless_Author Thanks for the tag! Only 36 - I really thought it would be higher. Favorites would have to be Casablanca, Godfather 1 and 2, and No Country for Old Men. 3mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Only 16. My tastes tend to run more pop-culture then critically acclaimed. Now, ask me about goofy sex comedies over the years, well, I've seen Porky's 100 times! 🤣 3mo

Read4life Only 19! I need one for sports movies. 😂😂 3mo

Bklover 35. Favorites would be Silence of the Lambs, Terms of Endearment, and Dances With Wolves. Oh, and Titanic. 3mo

CSeydel @TheLudicReader woohoo 🙌🏻 (edited) 3mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros Nice surprise, huh? 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @willaful I have a lot more that I want to watch! I haven't been into the later movies at all for some reason. The last one I saw in a movie theater was INSIDE OUT! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @Blueberry IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @nelsonmatt890 The books are ALWAYS better than the movies! 🤩🤣🤩 3mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader You're in excellent company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @kspenmoll Same here! Most of the movies I have seen from this list are the older ones, especially musicals and such. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @Amiable You're not weird at all! I haven't been inside a movie theater since INSIDE OUT came out! I love watching old movies, though. And double also, how do you catch a 🌥️ and pin it down? 🤔🤩🤗 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes I haven't been lately, either! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose I'm a sucker for older movies, especially film noir. Do you have a favorite? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @The_Penniless_Author IKR? But then those first movies in the early 1930s, I was like 😳 Now I have a TBW list! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Or me with rom-coms or film noir! I haven't seen Porky's in ages ... time to revisit! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @Read4life Oh, I love sports movies! My faves are probably HOOSIERS (rip Gene Hackman 🥺), the original BRIAN'S SONG, and RUDY. What are yours? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

dabbe @Bklover Wowza, what a list! You nailed some fab ones! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿❣️📽️ 3mo

Read4life Hoosiers is my top for sure!! I also love The Sandlot, Field of Dreams, Rudy, Miracle, oh I can go on and on!! Watching Hoosiers & The Replacements this weekend (Gene Hackman 💔) 3mo

shortsarahrose Film noir is good, but my heart belongs to mid-century film melodramas, especially anything from Douglas Sirk. Written on the Wind is my favorite, but All that Heaven Allows and Imitation of Life are also great. I also love anything with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Swing Time is my favorite of theirs (except for the black face - might be the only film I‘ve seen Astaire do black face in), but all of them are fun. 3mo

dabbe @Read4life I'm definitely rewatching HOOSIERS this weekend. Totally forgot about THE REPLACEMENTS, too! 🥺 3mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose I need to look more into mid-century films. And 🎯 to Astaire and Rogers! 🎶 3mo

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

Impossible to resist a “greatest books” list.

I‘ve read 56 of the 100 books which puts me, at the moment, at #20 on the list.

Favorites include the tagged book—love it and The Fellowship of the Rings—as well as I Want My Hat Back (love Klassen), American Born Chinese, and The Graveyard Book.

Books I would add: The Lightning Thief (first Percy Jackson), Stuck (Oliver Jeffers), & The Monster at the End of this Book.

TracyReadsBooks @dabbe I benefitted from working in a school library for many years! Fun to revisit some favorites…some of which I still reread when I want to spend time with a great story. 4mo

So many I haven't heard of; quite a few I now want to read. The three in the pic above are my favorites that did NOT make the list. As some Littens have stated, the list was interesting to say the least. Even the BBC states that it “also has its limitations and biases“ and that “the list is not designed as a fait accompli, but rather as an inspiration for further discovery and debate.“ ⬇️

dabbe The BBC article was published in 2023, so it is quite recent. For more information or to tell them your thoughts about the list, visit this link:

dabbe @peaKnit So many I hadn't even heard of! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 4mo

DogMomIrene 😲They didn‘t include Where the Red Fern Grows? One of my English teacher friends and I would hand that book out to incoming 6th graders and explain what a seminal work it is, even all these years later. 4mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene IKR? My 4th grade teacher read it to us after recess. None of us knew how it would end--including her. We all sobbed at the ending! 🤩😂🤩 4mo

DogMomIrene @dabbe Similar experience, except my 3rd grade teacher didn‘t finish the book before summer and then we moved across country😲 I couldn‘t remember the title so I would meticulously scan every Scholastic book fair table until I eventually found the cover. Took a couple of years, but I too sobbed so hard🐶❤️🐶 4mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene That book was an EXPERIENCE. 🐾😭🐾 4mo

This was a fun one, as someone who now also teaches children's literature.

My favorites:
- Matilda by Roald Dahl
- The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
- The Arrival by Shaun Tan (though I wouldn't consider this a children's book!)

Ones I think should have been included:
- When You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff
- Sisters by Raina Telgemeier
- Holes by Louis Sachar

Amiable An also -- how is the Shardlake series? I've seen a few of you guys reading them for a group -- are they good? 5mo

Soubhiville Congratulations! That‘s great. 5mo

dabbe @Amiable I may be biased (since I lead the group), but I ADORE THEM! You've got Tudor England, a complicated and lovable hunchback detective named Shardlake (that's what he calls himself), and his arse of a sidekick Barak. Check it out if you're interested! #shardlakeseriesbr 🤩🤗🤩 5mo

dabbe #woohooyou! 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

Amiable @dabbe I do like a good Tudor novel! I‘ll definitely give it a go. 5mo
