When the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, he may be seen running at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his fellows, his great throat a-bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.

I was going to give this book a thumbs up mainly for nostalgia‘s sake and because I found it a riveting read as a junior high kid, but I doubt that I‘d be able to bear reading it now due to the heart-wrenching suffering those poor sled dogs endure. In fact, maybe I‘m more traumatized than anything else because I still remember the fate of some in particular like poor Curly, Billee, Dave. It‘s a well-written book but rather unsettling to read.

This is another one my son has to read for English this year, so decided to read, too. I give it a “meh”. I wasn‘t really into the storyline, and felt bad for Buck.

Jack London‘s Cabin in Dawson City, YT 🇨🇦 This one was moved from down Henderson‘s Creek into Dawson. Additionally, its original logs were split with a twin cabin in Oakland, California.

Home from out road trip to Dawson. I loved learning more about the literary history of my Klondike favorites.

I never had to read this when i was younger. Im glad i didn't. I never would have survived the animal abuse. It made my stomach turn.

Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego.

I read this as a teen and I remember enjoying it, but not much else. I decided to read it for this month‘s #tbrdeckofcards, and to be honest it didn‘t age well. I was overwhelmed by the animal torture and actually kept reading just to try to get to a point where I would begin to feel better, but I think I‘m just too old for this one. I kept thinking “I LIKED this?!?”

#OnThisDay in 1897 the Klondike gold rush had captured the hearts and dreams of countless men and women, and a group embarked from California to try their luck in the north. Among them was 21 year old Jack London. He never did find the precious metal, but you could say he still struck gold. What he found were stories, and those stories made him a household name synonymous with adventure in the Yukon. #HistoryGetsLIT

This did not age well.

All for $6.50. You can‘t beat that.

I had to read this book when I was either in middle school or high school, but didn‘t really remember anything about it. My boyfriend wanted to listen to a short audiobook on our way back from a short out of state road trip, so we decided on this.

It was pretty good, I liked both the story and the author‘s writing style.

(An aside: I‘ve now visited 14 out of the 50 states)

I needed a break from long novels.

A tale of a dog named Buck who moves from California to the cold of the Yukon and his little adventures to becoming wild.

I can remember buying this Apple Classic edition at a school book fair. When I read it, I was transported and fell in love with the setting and Buck. 🐶 Several movies have been made based on this timeless tale, but my favorite is the 93 version with Rick Schroder.

But he is not always alone. When the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, he may be seen running at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his fellows, his great throat a-bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.

It was ok.. not a classics fan at all but read for a reading challenge. Read for #HeyReaderathon and #spoopathon 3.5/5

This was a fantastic book and I wish there was more! I enjoyed reading from Buck's point of view and Landon did a great job of not making it sound like an actual animal was writing about survival. It wasn't cheesy like most animal point of view books are but realistic! Landon's figurative word choice of “the call“ made me almost jealous of Buck because I want to experience that call; whether it be the wild or just everyday life around me.

This is another beautiful word cloud classics edition. I‘ve wanted to read The Call of the Wild for a while now, the recent movie just made me want to read it more. This edition, along with additional stories really has me excited to read this.
#JackLondon #TheCallOfTheWild #WordCloudClassics

A rough read with more animal cruelty/violence than I expected from a middle grade. It was gut-wrenching even though it is relatively short & quick paced. I had to read it in small sections & then step away for a while. The writing was good & the book is worth the read, but I felt that it needed to be fleshed out a little more. I see value in the read & there is an appropriate audience, but it wasn't for me. Do not recommend for sensitive readers.

I honestly couldn‘t remember if I read this as a kid. Turns out, I hadn‘t. While I did not care for the mistreatment of Buck and the other dogs (I cringed several times), it was a good story. Very action-packed. And the narrator did a fantastic job!

I used a free space on my #bookspinbingo card. This was my choice for #pop21 #setmostlyorentirelyoutdoors

An old classic but first read for me. I loved this story and Buck. I also watched the movie which release in 2020 and liked both.

Next up, on #SerialReader

So this was a super cute book. I am really thought I had read it before but I think I had read White Fang and got them confused in my head. Or I read this way too long ago that I forgot a lot about it. Anyway Buck reminds me of our Maverick. Super smart, gorgeous but.. sometimes a bit wild!

Another one down! I didn't get a bingo with this one. I need one more book for a mother bingo but.. I don't know if I will finish it in time. I might try for it!

I am assuming this one won some awards! Its such a great classic. I am so surprised how I hadn't read this one before. But I am glad I finally did!

And it‘s already breaking my heart 😥

So I had thought I read this but I had gotten it mixed up with White Fang. Anyway started this beautiful kindle illustrated version of this one this morning while enjoying my “me time” before clocking in :)

1) 90% of the time
2) I really loved what they did with The Martian
3) This technically is already out but all the theaters closed before we could see it

He must master or be mastered; while to show mecy was a weakness. Mercy did not exist in the primordial life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstandings made for death. Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of Time, he obeyed.
