Survey: https://www.listchallenges.com/100-halloween-candies

Karisa 90 😅 I guess I like candy a bit too much. 🍫🍭🍬 Favorites on here for me are Whoppers, Lindt Truffles, and Twix Yum! One I would love to try someday is a licorice pipe after reading about them in the Gamache/Three Pines books. I‘m surprised that Good and Plenty wasn‘t there (another fav of mine). 2mo

dabbe Ooh, how could they have left off Good and Plenty? Now I want those! Thanks for sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

JenlovesJT47 Well that‘s the best I‘ve ever done on one of these things! 😆 I got 96. 2mo

See All 56 Comments

AnnCrystal 🥳👍🏼 Thanks for the tag 😋🍫💝. 2mo

Bookwomble 22 - I don't have a particularly sweet tooth, and (not unreasonable) a lot of that confectionery is North American and not really available in Britain. I only got 22 because of a New York visit many years ago when I tried a few sweets I've seen on TV shows 😊 2mo

Sparklemn I got 91. I‘m proud and disgusted in equal measure. Faves are Nerds, Skittles, and Tootsie pops. 🤓 Least faves are circus peanuts, all licorice, and candy cigarettes. 🚬 2mo

Dilara I ticked the brands that are sold in Europe/UK or things that looked similar to sweets I know. I hesitated on Milky Way: we have a product with this name, but the packaging looks completely different... Anyway, I got 28%, which is lower than most of you, unsurprisingly 😄
ETA: my favourite from the list is m&ms peanuts (how I love them 😻). Everything else I like I can take or leave. I hate Cadbury's creme eggs. (edited) 2mo

thebacklistbook 62/100....how am I still alive after all that sugar! Some of these I've never heard of. 2mo

Blueberry 70 of 100. All the chocolates are my favorite. Especially Cadbury Easter Eggs and Hershey's Dark Chocolate. 🍫 2mo

LiseWorks 66 out of 100, I'm not a candy person but I've tried a lot, and some here have brought back childhood memories. I will always go for those Worthers and tootsie rolls 😋 2mo

TheAromaofBooks Finally a list I can pass! 😂 94/100! But if I only checked off the ones I actually LIKE instead of the ones I've TRIED my score wouldn't be quite so good haha 2mo

MaGoose 64 out of 100. I don't eat much candy anymore, but a lot of those on the list brought back memories. 🤔😋 2mo

eeclayton I got 16, I had actually expected a worse score coming from a non-trick-or-treater country 😁 2mo

Librarybelle 66/100 for me! I love Pretzel M&M‘s, and of course I have to be loyal to Hershey products since I live not too far from the town (though lots of the manufacturing has moved to Mexico, so the town doesn‘t always smell like chocolate anymore). I‘m also rather partial to Lindt Lindor candies. 😂 2mo

Amor4Libros 79! Faves: Sour Patch Kids, Blow Pop and Peanut M&M‘s 2mo

ElizaMarie 88% ooo you reminded me of the Runts I used to love them! 2mo

Mollyanna 91/100. Some nostalgic ones on here… runts, razzles, warheads. My score would be much lower if I only checked those I like now such as…special dark, twizzlers (although I really prefer Australian licorice), Twix. 2mo

Jari-chan 26/100 - many of those are not available in Switzerland. Now I'm hungry... 2mo

Cuilin 42/100 the cigarette candy was such a throwback to the 70‘s 😆 Is it still a thing? My favourites are Milka, Toblerone and Twix. 2mo

Cuilin @Dilara the American Milky Way has a caramel and nougat center something similar to a Mars bar, the UK/ROI one is a softer lighter nougat more like an Americsn Musketeers candy bar. The Whoppers are Malteeezers. (edited) 2mo

Dilara @Cuilin Thanks! In that case, I should remove Milky Way and add Whoppers/Maltesers, which means my score is unchanged 😁 2mo

ravenlee I got 77/100 which makes me sound like a sugar addict, but so many of them I tried once or twice as a kid/adolescent. I mean, I love a good mini candy bar, don‘t get me wrong, but have definitely lost my taste for things like Warheads 😆 2mo

Bookwormjillk I got 91% 😂 Favorites are whatever someone has left in the break room candy bowl at the moment- currently Heath Bars. 2mo

melissajayne 36; I haven‘t seen a lot of these in Canada. Could I be tagged? And when are we going to do books again? 2mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Bookwomble Of course NA would have all the confection, right? Though Britain has some pretty spectacular sweets, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Sparklemn Ugh to your ugh choices, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Dilara Totally agree with you on peanut M&Ms (they were my dad's favorite), and UGH to Cadbury's creme eggs. Just no. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @thebacklistbook Sugar, sugar everywhere! IKR? Some of them I was like, these have to have been made recently! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Blueberry We always treasured the chocolate bars when we'd trick or treat. The grosser stuff we'd get to usually by November! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @LiseWorks I adore tootsie rolls, even though my expensive dental work doesn't! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Same here! Trying doesn't mean liking, right? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @MaGoose And a lot of my memories were along the lines of, “How could I have ever eaten that?“ 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @eeclayton And you know all of this candy is all about Halloween. I was actually surprised that the person who created the list actually found 100 different kinds! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle I have never tried the Pretzel M&M's; I bet they are yummy! Salt and sugar = perfect combo! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros I'm impressed you like the Sour Patch Kids; my face puckered up too much with those! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie Yay for the memories! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Mollyanna IKR? So many are just way too sugary for us adults who've moved from milk to dark chocolate! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Jari-chan Leave it to the USA to have this much sugar. No wonder we're crazy! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin I wonder! To think that we would PLAY at SMOKING! And it was cool! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Dilara I say keep both and bump up your score! 😂 2mo

dabbe @ravenlee Amen, sista! All that super sugary stuff today? #noway! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Ooh, I love Heath Bars!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @melissajayne Of course, I'll tag you! And what kind of book surveys do you like? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

Amiable 86 for me. There are several that I haven‘t eaten because I know I don‘t like the flavor (i.e. I‘m not a fan of lemon, etc). I do love me a Snickers bar! And I‘m still addicted to gummy bears even though I‘m old enough to know better because they are terrible for your teeth. 😬😀 2mo

DrSabrinaMoldenReads 65 for me. I beat the average on one challenge at least for a change. I cannot keep enough Starburst for my granddaughters. 😂 I know they kinda came from me but I can‘t figure out how they cannot like chocolate. (edited) 2mo

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I still have my candy stash beside my bed. 2mo

Sparklemn @Cuilin Milka was the only candy I didn‘t recognize. I love Toblerone, too. 2mo

dabbe @Amiable My teeth tremble at the sight of one gummy bear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I bet they will as they get older. I did the same thing! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍫♥️🍫 2mo

dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads 🧡💜💛 2mo

Dilara @dabbe Thank you for tagging me!
I was wondering... are Cadbury's creme eggs a normal thing for Halloween? I thought they were only ever sold around Easter time. 2mo

nanuska_153 I only got 27, but not because of my lack of love for sugar. Most of those don't exist in Ireland. Probably would have got 100% if it was sweets from here 😅 2mo

dabbe @Dilara YW! They have spooky Halloween eggs, too. Guess they'd be crazy not to cash in at Halloween, too, right? 😂😍😂 2mo

dabbe @nanuska_153 Yeah, it was definitely based on America's tastes. Sorry about that! What's your most popular candy in Ireland? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2mo

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. 2mo

melissajayne awesome score; got 28 myself. 2mo

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. 2mo

See All 10 Comments

dabbe @AmyG For once. 2mo

dabbe @melissajayne #yahooyou! 🧡💜💛 2mo

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! 😂 2mo

Susanita No balloon rides for me either! I did knit a few janky potholders though. 2mo

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. 2mo

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! 🧡🍁💛

Link: https://www.listchallenges.com/litsy-autumn-experiences

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 😏🍂 2mo

RaeLovesToRead 64% but you are not getting me in a hot air balloon haha. That's how Enduring Love started 😆 2mo

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) 2mo

See All 31 Comments

ShananigansReads Finally a list I‘ve done well on 80%!!!! 2mo

nanuska_153 66% I love this season, the leaves, the colours, the coziness 🥰 2mo

TheAromaofBooks 83% - I'm big into fall, but not into scary 😂 2mo

Librarybelle I got 49%, much lower than I thought. Oh well! 2mo

Mollyanna 81% - I love fall! The warm drinks, cozy fires, comfort food… 2mo

IriDas I got 83%, but you missed the most important one—the World Series. :) 2mo

PathfinderNicole 80%! 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

dabbe @Bookwomble Not too shabby! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Same here! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @Amiable Agee 💯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @ShananigansReads #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @nanuska_153 #ditto! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Agree 💯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle That ain't too shabby, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @IriDas Perhaps because I'm a D-Backs fan. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @PathfinderNicole #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

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. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @GingerAntics I'm surprised! And yay for a cooler temp! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

Catsandbooks 84% I really miss living in MI in the fall. It's not the same living in MS ☹️ 2mo

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. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

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 🤣 2mo

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. 🧡💜💛 2mo

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. 2mo

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 🙂 2mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie I bet the autumns are completely different! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 2mo

dabbe @eeclayton What a wonderful memory! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 2mo

Summer Movies: 30 Sun-Drenched Classics | Turner Classic Movies, John Malahy

#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. 🤗 5mo

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. 5mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Now THAT's a project I can wrap my head around! Excellent score! 👏🏻👏🏻Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿♥️🍿 5mo

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). 5mo

RaeLovesToRead Noooo we haven't got to the books on 1001 that I HAVE read yet hahaha 😵😵‍💫 5mo

RaeLovesToRead I've seen 40 of these, but there are a load on this list that I'm embarrassed to never have seen haha 5mo

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. 5mo

Read4life I‘d say I‘m sorry we didn‘t finish the 1001 list… but I‘m NOT! #sorrynotsorry 5mo

dabbe @Librarybelle I hope in a good way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I think that ship has sailed for most of us! I did give you the link to the rest of the books! 😍 5mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Well, it's summer, so get watchin'! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

dabbe @ImperfectCJ #woohooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

dabbe @Read4life #dittomydear! 🩵🎯🩵 5mo

Avanders Wow I got 66% - definitely the highest I‘ve ever gotten on one of these! 5mo

dabbe @Avanders #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

kspenmoll 37% for me. 5mo

dabbe @kspenmoll Yay you! Did you have a favorite? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

Amor4Libros 54%!!! 🙌🏽 5mo

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) 5mo

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. 5mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros #yahooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose How cool is that? #bravo 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose That list totally burned my butt! Glad you looked at it; I didn't have the heart. 😂 5mo

willaful 52 for me. I love Toy Story 3, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Inside Out. 5mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳🎬💝💝💝. 5mo

dabbe @willaful #welldoneyou! Love your choices, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿♥️ 5mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal ♥️🍿💛 5mo

CogsOfEncouragement 86 for me. 1-Marvel movies 2-Barbie 3-Transformers 5mo

melissajayne 47 5mo

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement I think your score is the highest! #welldone 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 5mo

TheLudicReader 73. I saw Grease about 20 times the summer it came out. 5mo

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! 5mo

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! 5mo

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. 💚💙💚 5mo

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. 5mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Totally get it! They are so cute together, though! 5mo

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 5mo

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) 5mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼👀 I'm still hiding 🥸👍🏼😂📚💝...thank you 🤫. 5mo

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!!!! 6mo

RaeLovesToRead 90?! 🤯🤯🤯 Even with the book as a guide, that is really impressive!!! 6mo

Liz_M @RaeLovesToRead So, sorry to disappoint you, but most of these books DO exist. 😆🤓 6mo

Liz_M @kspenmoll Thank you! I'm going to be at a complete loss once I decide I'm done with this list. 6mo

TheBookHippie How much do you have to go yet ?? 6mo

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? 6mo

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. 💙📚💚 6mo

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 6mo

BarbaraBB @dabbe Thanks so much! Don‘t I follow you???? Must change that immediately 🤍 6mo

BarbaraBB I read 58! Not bad but you‘re so far ahead of me 😀 6mo

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. 🌟 6mo

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. . 6mo

TheBookHippie @Liz_M you‘re getting there!!! 🙃 it‘s fun to follow a list. 6mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie Are you reading the list too? 6mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB Nope. I didn‘t even know about it 🤣 6mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB 😍 6mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB #woohooyou!!! I am not surprised one bit! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 6mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie and you read all of those 👌🏽 6mo

BarbaraBB @dabbe Thanks for organizing ❤️❤️ 6mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB School. 🤣😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo

dabbe @BarbaraBB YW! I need to find other lists, so if you know of any, let me know! You're a major book guru! 😍 6mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie I‘m in awe! 6mo

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? 6mo

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! 😍 6mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB it‘s fun to talk about now 🤣😉 6mo
