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. 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Now THAT's a project I can wrap my head around! Excellent score! 👏🏻👏🏻Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿♥️🍿 3mo

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). 3mo

RaeLovesToRead Noooo we haven't got to the books on 1001 that I HAVE read yet hahaha 😵😵‍💫 3mo

RaeLovesToRead I've seen 40 of these, but there are a load on this list that I'm embarrassed to never have seen haha 3mo

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. 3mo

Read4life I‘d say I‘m sorry we didn‘t finish the 1001 list… but I‘m NOT! #sorrynotsorry 3mo

dabbe @Librarybelle I hope in a good way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 3mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I think that ship has sailed for most of us! I did give you the link to the rest of the books! 😍 3mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Well, it's summer, so get watchin'! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 3mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ #woohooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 3mo

dabbe @Read4life #dittomydear! 🩵🎯🩵 3mo

Avanders Wow I got 66% - definitely the highest I‘ve ever gotten on one of these! 3mo

dabbe @Avanders #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 3mo

kspenmoll 37% for me. 3mo

dabbe @kspenmoll Yay you! Did you have a favorite? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 3mo

Amor4Libros 54%!!! 🙌🏽 3mo

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) 3mo

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. 3mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros #yahooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 3mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose How cool is that? #bravo 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 3mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose That list totally burned my butt! Glad you looked at it; I didn't have the heart. 😂 3mo

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

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳🎬💝💝💝. 3mo

dabbe @willaful #welldoneyou! Love your choices, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿♥️ 3mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal ♥️🍿💛 3mo

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

melissajayne 47 3mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement I think your score is the highest! #welldone 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

TheLudicReader 73. I saw Grease about 20 times the summer it came out. 2mo

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! 2mo

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! 2mo

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. 💚💙💚 2mo

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. 2mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Totally get it! They are so cute together, though! 2mo

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
2. Share your score if you'd like.
3. 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.
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 3mo

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) 3mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼👀 I'm still hiding 🥸👍🏼😂📚💝...thank you 🤫. 3mo

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!!!! 3mo

RaeLovesToRead 90?! 🤯🤯🤯 Even with the book as a guide, that is really impressive!!! 3mo

Liz_M @RaeLovesToRead So, sorry to disappoint you, but most of these books DO exist. 😆🤓 3mo

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. 3mo

TheBookHippie How much do you have to go yet ?? 3mo

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? 3mo

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. 💙📚💚 3mo

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 3mo

BarbaraBB @dabbe Thanks so much! Don‘t I follow you???? Must change that immediately 🤍 3mo

BarbaraBB I read 58! Not bad but you‘re so far ahead of me 😀 3mo

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. 🌟 3mo

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. . 3mo

TheBookHippie @Liz_M you‘re getting there!!! 🙃 it‘s fun to follow a list. 3mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie Are you reading the list too? 3mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB Nope. I didn‘t even know about it 🤣 3mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB 😍 3mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB #woohooyou!!! I am not surprised one bit! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie and you read all of those 👌🏽 3mo

BarbaraBB @dabbe Thanks for organizing ❤️❤️ 3mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB School. 🤣😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB YW! I need to find other lists, so if you know of any, let me know! You're a major book guru! 😍 3mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie I‘m in awe! 3mo

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? 3mo

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! 😍 3mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB it‘s fun to talk about now 🤣😉 3mo

jenniferw88 1700s were NOT scary for me thanks to my MA 🤣 4mo

CSeydel Yikes, only 13, although a couple of my favorite books did make the list (Silas Marner and Tess of the D‘Urbervilles) 4mo

jenniferw88 18 this time! 4mo

See All 65 Comments

Chrissyreadit Only 9- but a lot of nf books. 4mo

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. 4mo

Bookwormjillk Ooof only 9! 4mo

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! 4mo

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. 4mo

BarkingMadRead I only had 15. I own like 5 or so more but haven‘t read them yet 🙈 4mo

Bklover 15- thanks to a years ago obsession with Jules Verne and HG Wells. And, of course, #hashtagbrigade 4mo

Librarybelle So bizarre—I did worse this week than last with only 13! And I call myself a classics reader! 🙄 4mo

willaful 12 for me. Alice and Little Women my favs, of course! I'd like to read What Maisie Knew. Calling the #HashtagBrigade ! 😁 4mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 Yay for you! I find them rather terrifying myself. 🤣 4mo

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. 💚💜💚 4mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 #woohooyou Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 4mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit 🎯🩵🎯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 4mo

dabbe @Lynnsoprano There are still more books from the 1800s coming your way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 4mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead We need to get them into the #hashtagbrigade! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 4mo

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. 💚💜💚 4mo

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. 🤷‍♀️ 4mo

dabbe @Lynnsoprano I hope you're feeling better! 😍 4mo

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. 💚💜💚 4mo

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. 💚💜💚 4mo

dabbe @willaful Ooh, that one does sound good for the #hashtagbrigade, doesn't it? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 4mo

Bklover Thanks for the tag! I truly appreciate it. 🩷🩷🩷. Also loved Tess with #hashtagbrigade (edited) 4mo

Susanita @Lynnsoprano Ugh. I hope you feel better! 4mo

Eggs 💗🌺💖 4mo

CogsOfEncouragement 19 for me this round. 4mo

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! 4mo

dabbe @Bklover 💜💚💜 4mo

dabbe @Eggs 💜💚💜 4mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement We scored pretty closely together this time! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 4mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ We're close in our scores! Added your choices to my TBR. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 4mo

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) 4mo

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 4mo

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! 4mo

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! 4mo

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. 4mo

AnnCrystal
Thanks for the tag
📚☺️👍🏼💝. (edited) 4mo

peaKnit Ope, 5! I also love Tess, I see she is a popular read! I read it in Highschool. 4mo

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. 4mo

tpixie @Daisey 🩷🩷🩷 4mo

tpixie @CSeydel I know it‘s so hard to do a reread when there‘s so many other books still left to read! 4mo

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. 💜💚💜 4mo

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! 😍 4mo

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. 💜💚💜 4mo

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. 💜💚💜 4mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🥰 4mo

dabbe @peaKnit I applaud any teacher who had high schoolers read TESS. I adored that book! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 4mo

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. 💜💚💜 4mo

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) 4mo

CatLass007 Three that I own and want to read are Anna Karenina, War and Peace, and Middlemarch. 4mo

TheLudicReader 🤣 7. I still have the essay I wrote about Tess. Hated her. But I loved The Mayor of Casterbridge. 4mo

catiewithac 27/100 but why so much Zola? It was a weird list. 4mo

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. 💚💜💚 4mo

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! 🤣 4mo

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. 💚💜💚 4mo

dabbe @catiewithac I guess Zola is Ze besZt. 🤣🤷‍♀️😍 I've never read anything by him! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 4mo

tpixie @dabbe lol Les Mis as 3 books yes! (edited) 4mo

tpixie @CatLass007 I‘m hoping to read Anna K next year. I missed out on @TheBookHippie buddy read this year 4mo

CatLass007 @tpixie I didn‘t know there was a buddy read to miss. 4mo

dabbe @tpixie 🎯🩵🎯 4mo

tpixie @CatLass007 🩷 it‘s hard to keep up with all the buddy reads!! 4mo

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. 4mo

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. 💚💜💚 4mo

BarkingMadRead I‘ve read 49! 4mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #yahooyou!!! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 4mo

Soubhiville Terry Pratchett should be popular everywhere! He‘s a favorite of mine. 4mo

See All 59 Comments

Soubhiville I‘ve read 47, and I‘d say my favorites are LOTR, Terry Pratchett‘s, and Watership Down. 4mo

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! 💙🩵💙 4mo

dabbe @Soubhiville #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

CogsOfEncouragement 43 for this one. So many good ones too. Some I‘ve enjoyed more than once. 4mo

CSeydel I got 47. My favorites are probably Rebecca, A Christmas Carol, and Wind in the Willows 4mo

CSeydel But Terry Pratchett‘s books are excellent also! He has a way of combining wordplay, satire and fantasy to hilarious effect (edited) 4mo

jenniferw88 50! 4mo

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 😘💛🏷 4mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @CSeydel Love your choices! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @CSeydel Another reason I'm moving him up on my TBR pile! 4mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 W🤩WZA! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 4mo

julesG Thanks to Pratchett my tally comes up to 27. 😁 4mo

peaKnit Thank you for the tag! Only 23 for me 🤦🏼‍♀️ I 4mo

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 4mo

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.” 4mo

dabbe @julesG He must be one of the best writers ever! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 4mo

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! 💜💜💜 4mo

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! 💜💜💜 4mo

peaKnit Thank you!! I‘d have been in bigger trouble had Harry Potter not rescued me lol! Many on my TBR all the same:) 4mo

Amor4Libros 13! 😅 Harry Potter helped me get to double digits 🤣 4mo

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! 4mo

TheLudicReader 30. How can I even call myself a reader? 4mo

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. 😊 4mo

Lynnsoprano 25 🙄 Mostly the English classics. I‘m hanging my head 4mo

Librarybelle 31 for me. There are a few I am in the middle of, but still, ouch! 4mo

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! 🤩 4mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros Yay for HP! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot I bow to your wow. I could NEVER had survived two semesters of Russian novels! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

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. 💜💜💜 4mo

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. 💜💜💜 4mo

CSeydel It‘s a very odd list! 4mo

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. 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @Librarybelle I'll be ouchie right there with you! It's a quirky list, to say the least! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 4mo

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. 4mo

dabbe @rwmg W🤩WZA! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

Amor4Libros @TheLudicReader I got 13! 🤣🤣 4mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros Way better than zero! Seriously, though, what a weird list! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! 4mo

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 🥳👍🏼📚💝. 4mo

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...

📚💝. 4mo

AnnCrystal My three, must read someday: Harry Potter books, the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, and The Christmas Carol ☺️📚💝. (edited) 4mo

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. ) 4mo

melissajayne 41 4mo

tpixie Hmm 36% 4mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread YW! 😍 4mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 4mo

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! 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I don't think I read anything on the lower half of the list! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @tpixie We're close in our scores! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal Especially A CHRISTMAS CAROL. I reread that one (and see a bunch of movie variations) every year during holiday season. 🎄 4mo

Bklover 43! Thanks for the tag @dabbe 🩷 4mo

dabbe @Bklover YW! 😍 4mo

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! ☺️👍🏼📚🎬💖. 4mo
