Welcome to Litsy!

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.

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.“ ⬇️

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

Completed the #ChunksterChallenge for 2024. 🎉 My first year to hit all four chunkster categories.

@Amiable Thanks for hosting and the motivation to get to the larger books on my shelf.

Thanks to @Jadams89 for being our group leader and @PuddleJumper for doing such great organizing in such a short time!

I couldn't limit myself to just three favorites! There were a few books in the list I hadn't read, but I'd read others by the authors (I didn't count them, nor did I count movies).

Thanks for the tag, @dabbe ! #TLT #ThreeListThursday

Now we're in my wheelhouse! Though @TheBookHippie still beat me. 😂

One number that always makes me cry and two that always make me smile.

I got 91/100… I love movie soundtracks. It‘s hard to pick top 3 songs, so I‘ll go with top 3 singers/actors

1. Gene Kelly
2. Barbra Streisand
3. Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers

Honorable Mention: Judy Garland

Classic movie musicals are totally my thing 😊
