The House of Silk: A Sherlock Holmes Novel | Anthony Horowitz

#TheLitsyIrregulars #TLI #PasticheBR @NoPlaceLikeHolmes
@Cuilin @LitsyEvents

Well, Sherlockians, as Holmes would say, “The game is afoot.“ Time to read some pastiches! We'll have a quick check-in on 10/30 just to see what we're all thinking, then a discussion of the whole book on 11/30. Any and all are welcome to join; just let me know if you'd like to be added to the list.

Have a good week, everyone. 💛🩶♥️

Autumnblings | Douglas Florian

#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

My best score ever! Though I made up the survey (with help from other listers, so there is that). The three I've never done and will probably never do:
1. hot-air ballooning: Nope.
2. knitting: I can crochet a little bit, but that's it.
3. running in a race: #hahahahahahahahaha

Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/litsy-autumn-experiences

AmyG Wow great score. 3w

melissajayne awesome score; got 28 myself. 3w

Amiable Same re: running anywhere for any reason (ha ha…only if I‘m being chased by zombies) and knitting (my Nana taught me to crochet instead). I have been up in a hot-air balloon, though. 3w

dabbe @AmyG For once. 3w

dabbe @melissajayne #yahooyou! 🧡💜💛 3w

dabbe @Amiable IKR? Those days of having to run in PE are OVER!!! And kudos to you for going up in a balloon. I don't think I'd ever have the nerve! 😂 3w

Susanita No balloon rides for me either! I did knit a few janky potholders though. 3w

Singout 57! Some were a bit iffy. I, too, have never run in a race or done, hot air ballooning, although I would love to do the latter. I had a chance in university, but gave up my spot to a friend. 3w

Continuing the fun from last week, here is a survey of autumn experiences.

Share your score (if you want). List 3 faves/3 hates/3 you thought should have been here/3 whatever-you-wants. Tagging a few. ALL are more than welcome to play! I have a feeling we're going to see some fabulous scores! 🧡🍁💛

CaroPi, DebinHawaii, DrSabrinaMoldenReads, Cuilin, AmyG, kspenmoll, TheBookHippie, Amiable, CogsOfEncouragement, AnneCecilie, Susanita, TheLudicReader, Suet624, Deblovestoread, Librarybelle, Chrissyreadit, Read4life, zezeki, CatLass007, Mollyanna, BookwormAHN, eeclayton, PathfinderNicole, GingerAntics, ravenlee, Bookwomble, CBee, ElizaMarie, kelli7990, TheAromaofBooks, nanuska_153, ncsufoxes, lil1inblue

Bookwomble 53% - so-so 😏🍂 3w

RaeLovesToRead 64% but you are not getting me in a hot air balloon haha. That's how Enduring Love started 😆 3w

Amiable 90%! (Just don‘t care for pumpkin-flavored food or drinks. 😖) But I live in New England and nobody does autumn better than we do! 😀 (edited) 3w

See All 31 Comments

ShananigansReads Finally a list I‘ve done well on 80%!!!! 3w

nanuska_153 66% I love this season, the leaves, the colours, the coziness 🥰 3w

TheAromaofBooks 83% - I'm big into fall, but not into scary 😂 3w

Librarybelle I got 49%, much lower than I thought. Oh well! 3w

Mollyanna 81% - I love fall! The warm drinks, cozy fires, comfort food… 3w

IriDas I got 83%, but you missed the most important one—the World Series. :) 3w

PathfinderNicole 80%! 3w

ravenlee I got 66%! It‘s hard to enjoy fall stuff when it‘s still 90 degrees well into October here, and I miss all the apple picking and stuff from our few years in Nebraska. 3w

GingerAntics Wow, I got 7%… and an exciting twist, it‘s only going to get up to 75 here today… so getting closer to jeans and sweatshirts/sweaters. 3w

dabbe @Bookwomble Not too shabby! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Same here! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @Amiable Agee 💯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @ShananigansReads #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @nanuska_153 #ditto! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Agree 💯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @Librarybelle That ain't too shabby, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @IriDas Perhaps because I'm a D-Backs fan. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @PathfinderNicole #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @ravenlee Agree 💯. It's going to be over 100º again today here. I think that's why I'm in hyper-mode with fall; I want the weather to change so badly! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

dabbe @GingerAntics I'm surprised! And yay for a cooler temp! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

Catsandbooks 84% I really miss living in MI in the fall. It's not the same living in MS ☹️ 3w

dabbe @Catsandbooks Boy, I can just imagine! That's why Matt and I go up north into the pines for a few days in October--just to see the leaves change and actually experience real autumn temps. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

Bookwormjillk 94% although I think it was summer when I went up in the hot air balloon. I love all things fall but after 2020 I don‘t think I would ever bob for apples again. I‘ve never TPed anything. My mom would have killed me for wasting that much perfectly good toilet paper 🤣 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I'd never have the nerve to go in a balloon! And I only tp-ed in the 80s ... the Reagan years. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 3w

ElizaMarie 60 of 70 · 86% - I haven't been in a hot air balloon (the two times I had it planned, weather screwed me). I have never been apple picking either (not sure if it's the whole family of Migrant workers thing that makes me not find this appealing), haven't jumped in leave, but have kicked them? I didn't experience leaves until my late 30s. South TX Fall is so much different than my now VT Fall. 3w

eeclayton I scored 12. This quiz me brought back the memory of my uncle's pumpkin field and how the family used to come together in the harvest season to help remove the seeds (they would sell the seeds) and tell stories and enjoy the company. Good times 🙂 3w

dabbe @ElizaMarie I bet the autumns are completely different! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 3w

dabbe @eeclayton What a wonderful memory! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 3w

#ThreeListThursday #TLT @dabbe
I couldn't do it anymore. Sorry, 1001 BOOKS YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU DIE ... be gone and out of our lives! Ahem. If you'd like to see that entire list, here's the link: https://shorturl.at/6nuMm.

Now, more fun! A summer movie list! All the particulars are given at the survey site. Particulars are below. ⬇️
Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/biggest-summer-movies-by-gross-1975-2024

dabbe Particulars:
1. Share your score if you'd like.
2. Share your 3 favorites from the list or 3 that you might be interested in reading, or 3 you thought were horrible or a combo of whatever you'd like.
3. Tag if you want.

EVERYONE is tagged; ALL are welcome. 🤗 4mo

Bookwormjillk Talk to me Goose. I got 61%. I love Jaws and Apollo 13 and I had no idea there were so many Jurassic Park movies. Maybe that will be my summer project. 4mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Now THAT's a project I can wrap my head around! Excellent score! 👏🏻👏🏻Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿♥️🍿 4mo

See All 37 Comments

Librarybelle 45 for me, and I‘m shocked by that! I like so many on the list including Sleepless in Seattle, Barbie, and Mamma Mia (because it‘s just fun to sing along to ABBA). 4mo

RaeLovesToRead Noooo we haven't got to the books on 1001 that I HAVE read yet hahaha 😵😵‍💫 4mo

RaeLovesToRead I've seen 40 of these, but there are a load on this list that I'm embarrassed to never have seen haha 4mo

ImperfectCJ 82/100 for me, although I can't say that I liked most of them. Recently re-watched Poltergeist, and that was pretty fun. 4mo

Read4life I‘d say I‘m sorry we didn‘t finish the 1001 list… but I‘m NOT! #sorrynotsorry 4mo

dabbe @Librarybelle I hope in a good way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I think that ship has sailed for most of us! I did give you the link to the rest of the books! 😍 4mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Well, it's summer, so get watchin'! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ #woohooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

Avanders Wow I got 66% - definitely the highest I‘ve ever gotten on one of these! 4mo

dabbe @Avanders #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

kspenmoll 37% for me. 4mo

dabbe @kspenmoll Yay you! Did you have a favorite? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

Amor4Libros 54%!!! 🙌🏽 4mo

shortsarahrose 52, but more impressive (for me) is the streak I had of always seeing the top movie of the year from 2001-2019 (only missed 2 in that period - the Transformers one and Despicable Me 2) 4mo

shortsarahrose I did look at the rest of the 1001 books list. I had read 5 (well, 4.5 - Color Purple is in progress) from the remaining titles and probably have twice that on my TBR. 4mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros #yahooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose How cool is that? #bravo 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose That list totally burned my butt! Glad you looked at it; I didn't have the heart. 😂 4mo

willaful 52 for me. I love Toy Story 3, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Inside Out. 4mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳🎬💝💝💝. 4mo

dabbe @willaful #welldoneyou! Love your choices, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿♥️ 4mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal ♥️🍿💛 4mo

CogsOfEncouragement 86 for me. 1-Marvel movies 2-Barbie 3-Transformers 4mo

melissajayne 47 4mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement I think your score is the highest! #welldone 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 4mo

TheLudicReader 73. I saw Grease about 20 times the summer it came out. 3mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I got a 73, too! #surprisesurprise And we've written about GREASE to each other. The summer of 1978 ... I think that was the only movie I saw and kept going to see. I word out my record soundtrack! 3mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I got 73, too! I've never actually watched When Harry Met Sally or The Lion King. 😱 Shocking, I know. There are a few that I may have seen but don't remember. Lots of favorites here: Armageddon, A League of Their Own, Shrek movies, Finding Nemo, and some good Marvel & HP movies. Thanks for the 1001 List. Though my numbers were low, it was neat to see what was listed. Perhaps I'll add a few more to my TBR. I think hitting 10% would be great! 3mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 10% would be phenomenal with that list! And forgive me for shouting at you: YOU MUST WATCH WHEN HARRY MET SALLY IN THE AUTUMN. Just trust me. 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💙💚 3mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick OK, noted to watch in autumn. I just never really cared much for Billy Crystal & the idea of him as the romantic lead wasn't appealing. 3mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Totally get it! They are so cute together, though! 3mo

1001: Books You Must Read Before You Die: You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

#ThreeListThursday #TLT @dabbe
We're on to list 7, STILL from the 1900s! I'm getting worse, not better! 😅
1. Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-books-you-must-read-before-you-die-list7

4. Tag if you want.

EVERYONE is tagged; ALL are welcome. 🤗 ⬇️

dabbe I've debated as to whether or not I should ditch this list because it is so DEPRESSING for quite a few of us; on the other hand, I'm not a quitter. I think we have about 3 lists to go, so I'll see 'er through to the end. I'm not tagging anyone because I don't want to torture anybody intentionally, and I don't want anyone to feel bad! To make everyone feel better, my score this week was the LOWEST ever, a whopping 5. 🤣😭🤣 #playatyourownrisk 4mo

CogsOfEncouragement I came in at 6 because I counted The Summer Book by Tove Jansson which I am currently reading. Also: Hitchhiker‘s Guide, Slaughterhouse-Five, Play It as It Lays, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and The Bluest Eye. (edited) 4mo

1001: Books You Must Read Before You Die: You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

I own an edition of this book and have used it as a checklist for more than a decade and i still didn't recognize all the books on the list. 😂

It's not necessarily we're not “well-read“ but rather a specific effort was made to create an international list so, for example, it includes classics from Scandinavian countries that are not well-known elsewhere.

Three books I don't remember reading:
The Roots of Heaven
The Guiltless
Death Sentence

kspenmoll Wowza!!!! 4mo

RaeLovesToRead 90?! 🤯🤯🤯 Even with the book as a guide, that is really impressive!!! 4mo

Liz_M @RaeLovesToRead So, sorry to disappoint you, but most of these books DO exist. 😆🤓 4mo

See All 25 Comments

Liz_M @kspenmoll Thank you! I'm going to be at a complete loss once I decide I'm done with this list. 4mo

TheBookHippie How much do you have to go yet ?? 4mo

BarbaraBB You‘re my hero! I wonder if this 10% who apparently read more than you, do exist! Where can I take the quiz by the way? 4mo

dabbe Beyond W🤩WZA! Has this book been your major book guide for the last decade? Thanks for the 3 not to read, too! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 4mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB The lists are coming from me and #threelistthursday. If you want to follow me, they'll show up in your feed every week. If not, I'll gladly provide the links when you want them. 😊
Here's today's: https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-books-you-must-read-before-you-die-list5 4mo

BarbaraBB @dabbe Thanks so much! Don‘t I follow you???? Must change that immediately 🤍 4mo

BarbaraBB I read 58! Not bad but you‘re so far ahead of me 😀 4mo

Liz_M @BarbaraBB The quiz stats are a little wonky -- both TheBookHippie & I are ranked #1 Also, how can it rank a person as #1 and then say 5% of users did better?!?? 🙃

58 is a lot! You read so much more than me and read way more TOB and prize-list books than me. 🌟 4mo

Liz_M @TheBookHippie I've read about 980 books (sometimes I count half-completed books, sometimes I don't) from the 1318 books in all the various editions of this list. . 4mo

TheBookHippie @Liz_M you‘re getting there!!! 🙃 it‘s fun to follow a list. 4mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie Are you reading the list too? 4mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB Nope. I didn‘t even know about it 🤣 4mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB 😍 4mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB #woohooyou!!! I am not surprised one bit! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 4mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie I‘m in awe! 4mo

BarbaraBB @dabbe The 1001 list has been my guide for years. I have been neglecting it for the past few years but it‘s the mother list 🥰. What about Booker lists? 4mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB Ooh, excellent idea! You've read lots of those, right? I look to you when you post things about them. I'll check it out! 😍 4mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB it‘s fun to talk about now 🤣😉 4mo

jenniferw88 1700s were NOT scary for me thanks to my MA 🤣 5mo

CSeydel Yikes, only 13, although a couple of my favorite books did make the list (Silas Marner and Tess of the D‘Urbervilles) 5mo

jenniferw88 18 this time! 5mo

See All 65 Comments

Chrissyreadit Only 9- but a lot of nf books. 5mo

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. 5mo

Bookwormjillk Ooof only 9! 5mo

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! 5mo

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. 5mo

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

Bklover 15- thanks to a years ago obsession with Jules Verne and HG Wells. And, of course, #hashtagbrigade 5mo

Librarybelle So bizarre—I did worse this week than last with only 13! And I call myself a classics reader! 🙄 5mo

willaful 12 for me. Alice and Little Women my favs, of course! I'd like to read What Maisie Knew. Calling the #HashtagBrigade ! 😁 5mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 Yay for you! I find them rather terrifying myself. 🤣 5mo

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. 💚💜💚 5mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 #woohooyou Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 5mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit 🎯🩵🎯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 5mo

dabbe @Lynnsoprano There are still more books from the 1800s coming your way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 5mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead We need to get them into the #hashtagbrigade! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 5mo

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. 💚💜💚 5mo

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. 🤷‍♀️ 5mo

dabbe @Lynnsoprano I hope you're feeling better! 😍 5mo

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. 💚💜💚 5mo

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. 💚💜💚 5mo

dabbe @willaful Ooh, that one does sound good for the #hashtagbrigade, doesn't it? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 5mo

Bklover Thanks for the tag! I truly appreciate it. 🩷🩷🩷. Also loved Tess with #hashtagbrigade (edited) 5mo

Susanita @Lynnsoprano Ugh. I hope you feel better! 5mo

Eggs 💗🌺💖 5mo

CogsOfEncouragement 19 for me this round. 5mo

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! 5mo

dabbe @Bklover 💜💚💜 5mo

dabbe @Eggs 💜💚💜 5mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement We scored pretty closely together this time! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 5mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ We're close in our scores! Added your choices to my TBR. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 5mo

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) 5mo

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 5mo

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! 5mo

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! 5mo

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. 5mo

Thanks for the tag

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

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. 5mo

tpixie @Daisey 🩷🩷🩷 5mo

tpixie @CSeydel I know it‘s so hard to do a reread when there‘s so many other books still left to read! 5mo

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. 💜💚💜 5mo

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! 😍 5mo

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. 💜💚💜 5mo

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. 💜💚💜 5mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🥰 5mo

dabbe @peaKnit I applaud any teacher who had high schoolers read TESS. I adored that book! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 5mo

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. 💜💚💜 5mo

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) 5mo

CatLass007 Three that I own and want to read are Anna Karenina, War and Peace, and Middlemarch. 5mo

TheLudicReader 🤣 7. I still have the essay I wrote about Tess. Hated her. But I loved The Mayor of Casterbridge. 5mo

catiewithac 27/100 but why so much Zola? It was a weird list. 5mo

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. 💚💜💚 5mo

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! 🤣 5mo

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. 💚💜💚 5mo

dabbe @catiewithac I guess Zola is Ze besZt. 🤣🤷‍♀️😍 I've never read anything by him! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 5mo

tpixie @dabbe lol Les Mis as 3 books yes! (edited) 5mo

tpixie @CatLass007 I‘m hoping to read Anna K next year. I missed out on @TheBookHippie buddy read this year 5mo

CatLass007 @tpixie I didn‘t know there was a buddy read to miss. 5mo

dabbe @tpixie 🎯🩵🎯 5mo

tpixie @CatLass007 🩷 it‘s hard to keep up with all the buddy reads!! 5mo

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. 5mo

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. 💚💜💚 5mo
