The Thin Man | Dashiell Hammett

#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

Six better than last week. This list is killing me! 🤣 For my 3 faves, I went to book noir: two Hammetts and one Chandler.
1. THE MALTESE FALCON: “And when you're slapped you'll take it and like it.”
2. THE BIG SLEEP: “You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, and you were not bothered by things like that.“
3. THE THIN MAN: “Nora: “How do you feel?“
Nick: “Terrible. I must've gone to bed sober.”

ChaoticMissAdventures I have a canvas print of Maltese Falcon I loved the vibe of the book! 6h

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures How cool is that? You need to post a pic! I loved the book and movie so much that I taught an American film noir unit to my juniors as a reward at the end of the year. They loved it! To have them come into the room before class started and voluntarily talk about what they thought was going to happen next was priceless! 😍 6h

Memorial Day | Christin Ditchfield

While we celebrated yesterday to honor all who have valiantly served our country, the current president posts this absolute crap. Besides the SHOUTING CAPS and heinous words about pretty much everybody, he doesn't even thank ONE military person who died while in service. I just can't wrap my head around understanding ANYONE who voted for this sub-human. My face would burn with shame. Mr. President, I wear the badge of SCUM with pride.
#ranttime

dabbe @kspenmoll 🎯🩵🎯 You have to read what @Aims42 shared below. It will restore your sanity as it did mine. 😍 2d

Aims42 @dabbe You are so welcome 🥰💖 Also, who knew I‘d be following a “Did he die today” account on Threads 😆 No other posts besides; “No”, “Sadly not” and “Alas, today is not the day. But there‘s always tomorrow” 🤣 That was definitely not on my 2025 Bingo card but here we are 🤦‍♀️ 2d

dabbe @Aims42 Matt and I pretty much wonder that every single day when we wake up. We also don't go through life wishing for someone's demise, but if it saves our democracy, we do hope. That just shows how fucked up this country is right now. 😞 2d

Aims42 @dabbe Right?!? 😳🫠 What‘s truly fascinating is that there is zero reference to who the “he” is, but you know instantly who it is 😆 You are so right, it shows exactly how insane our country has become in just 127 days (from Jan. 20th to today) 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 2d

TheBookHippie What‘s so bad is - He‘s just saying the quiet part out loud …. His followers agree with every word. 😵‍💫 They‘ve been mostly underground since before Timothy Mc Veigh- and even before that they were enslavers. This is “the confederates” dream. If he dies -it‘s Vance. Who is more deliberately evil. We have a reckoning. I hope we endure. Thankfully no one likes Vance. 😝😫 it‘s my only hope: that it all crumbles. 2d

Liz_M If the Dems to regain the house in 2026, H. Jeffries is third in line. Just saying. 2d

Suet624 He‘s despicable. 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures The people I really don't get are veterans, my uncle has built his whole personality around his (short) navy service, and he has spent the last 9 years fawning all over this disgusting man. I just do not get it. 2d

Aims42 @TheBookHippie The one slice of hope I hold onto is if VampyVance does succeed the old poopy diaper Cheeto, that VampyVance is not nearly as charismatic and appealing to the cult that Trump has indoctrinated. You‘re right, nobody likes him 😝 2d

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes
@Cuilin @LitsyEvents

Hi, Shelockians~
Sorry for the confusion as to the order of these stories in this last edition. Though originally published separately, we are reading the stories in the order they were first published in the volume titled THE CASE-BOOK OF SH. Above is a pic showing the order of the final last 9 stories. Hopefully, this will keep us all reading the right story at the right time. We're almost there! 😍

Daisey, erzascarletbookgasm, CogsOfEncouragement, AnneCecilie, Born.A.Reader, Aimeesue, Larkken, Librarybelle, mom2bugnbee, Chrissyreadit, Read4life, StayCurious, CatLass007, Mollyanna, curiouserandcurioser, eeclayton, dabbe, IndoorDame, kelli7990, TheAromaofBooks, 5feet.of.fury, Tineke, Fr3NcHtOaSt, Blackink_WhitePaper, RayHallucinogen, Pageturner1, PageShifter, AnnR, kimrenee, aroyse, CrystalE02

CatLass007 They‘re really messed up on the audiobook that I have anyway. It will have the title of one story but it will be a completely different story. But I figured it out and I will figure this out. Thank you! 4d

kelli7990 The Stephen Fry audiobook doesn‘t have the correct titles for the stories in the last collection of stories. It says one title of the story and then when it starts playing, it says a different title. 4d

dabbe @kelli7990 I don't know what to do about that. If you can send me the list of the titles from the Audible, I might be able to figure out which one is which. 3d

Librarybelle I was thrilled that these are now on Project Gutenberg! 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle Yay! 🤩 3d

kelli7990 @dabbe I‘ve already figured it out. I‘ve been playing the beginning of the stories until I get to the one I‘m looking for. That helps but it‘s still annoying that I have to do that in order to find the story I‘m looking for. 3d

dabbe @kelli7990 Sorry about the troubles. 💚 3d

Poirot Investigates: Hercule Poirot Investigates | Agatha Christie

pick

#ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle
POIROT INVESTIGATES (1924) is a collection of short stories featuring Agatha Christie‘s iconic detective, Hercule Poirot, and his loyal companion, Captain Hastings. As one of Christie‘s earlier works, it offers a glimpse into the development of her famous sleuth and showcases her talent for crafting clever, compact mysteries, making it perfect for readers who enjoy quick, satisfying detective stories. ⬇️

dabbe Captain Hastings‘ narration adds charm and occasional humor, as his more conventional thinking contrasts with Poirot‘s genius. His bafflement often mirrors the reader‘s own, making the reveals all the more satisfying. Possible Trigger: Reflecting the era in which they were written, some stories contain cultural attitudes and language that may feel outdated or insensitive to modern readers. 4d

Librarybelle I cringed especially through one of the stories and the outdated speech. Good review! 4d

dabbe @Librarybelle TY! Same here! Some language was definitely cringeworthy! 😳 4d

#NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

The 19th installment in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series, first published in 1942 under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene, Nancy is drawn into a mystery when she meets a young woman named Ellen Smith, who seeks help in locating a missing half of a treasure map. The premise of a split treasure map and pirate legacy is intriguing, offering a classic adventure that appeals to nostalgic readers of ND. Plus 2 #nnk's! 🤣

My worst score EVER on ANY of these surveys. I don't know whether to 🤣 or 😭. I'll finish out this survey, but then I think I'll have to find something else for us to do because I think a few of us are a wee depressed from our scores, and I don't want to be a bummer to anyone's day. Above are 3 favorites out of the 9 I read.
And I'm a retired high school English teacher! 😱

We're on to list 3, all from the 1900s.
1. Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-books-you-must-read-before-you-die-1900s
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.
I'm tagging no one this time. ALL are welcome.

CogsOfEncouragement Ummmmm. I‘ve read 4 - Gatsby, Mrs. Dalloway, Ackroyd, and Room with a View. 1w

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement I've never read DALLOWAY; did you like it? #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing). 😊 1w

CogsOfEncouragement I read it in 2017, gave it 3⭐️ and wrote this review: This was an incredibly slow read for me. A bit because of an event I helped to put on (kinda funny if you know what the book is about) but also because of the way Woolf wrote it. ⬇️ 1w

See All 41 Comments

CogsOfEncouragement I take no offense to the accolades it has earned, and I see why others enjoy it. I compare it to Beloved by Toni Morrison which I read a few months ago. Though I like both stories, I do not much enjoy reading this style. At the same time, I am glad I read both award winning books. 1w

MonicaLoves2Read I only got 2. The Great Gastby I read it in Hugh School. The Murder of Roger Akyrod I read last year. 1w

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Thanks for that input. I have always been scared to read her for the whole stream-of-consciousness thing, but maybe I'll give her a try. (edited) 1w

dabbe @bellabella For sure, he's the hero, but he is mainly THE. BEST. SIDEKICK. EVER. “I can't carry it for you. But I can carry you!“ 😭💚😭

P.S. My other favorite sidekick is Joe from GREAT EXPECTATIONS. “Ever the best of friends, ain't us, Pip?“ 😭💚😭 6d

DebinHawaii Very fun! 🖤🐝💛 I agree about Joe & Pip too! 4d

dabbe @DebinHawaii We have a lot in common, m'dear! 💛🐝🖤 4d
