I‘m late but wouldn‘t dream of missing #TakeThreeThursday! I missed the Elf question (am hanging my head in shame) and the Disney one (I‘m okay with that). I love lots of Christmas music but some favorites are: Mariah‘s classic (please don‘t hate me!), “Please Come Home for Christmas” by the Eagles, “O Holy Night” by Celine, and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” by the Boss! 🎄🎁🎅
#TTT @dabbe

dabbe I forgive you for Carey's song: it's the #1 song of all time, right? Great choices and fab score! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️💙💚

Some Stuff About Me
#AuldLangSpine

1. I tripped Queen Elizabeth II when I was 9 years old. True story.

2. I hate coffee. Yes. I said it.

3. My favorite color is green.

4. I‘m a New England native who can trace my family‘s roots in Massachusetts and Connecticut back to 1627.

5. I‘m a genealogy buff. I started doing research when I was 12 and haven‘t stopped. And boy, have I found some interesting skeletons by shaking that family tree… ⬇️

monalyisha, fredthemoose

Amiable 6. I married the guy who lived next door to me in college. We just celebrated our 34th anniversary. We have two sons: one is a Marine helicopter pilot and the other is a rocket scientist. (edited) 2d

Amiable 7. I‘ve worked as a writer/editor for my entire career: at a daily newspaper, a university and a hospital health system. But I always wanted to be an astronaut. (Thank you, Carl Sagan!) 2d

Amiable 8. I love all 4 seasons. Even winter! 2d

AmyG I loved reading these. #1! 🙌🏻 2d

TheKidUpstairs Love all this! And #2 - me too! 2d

Deblovestoread #1 What a memory! Love this ❤️ 2d

Amiable @Deblovestoread when she died my father immediately called me and said, “Do you think they‘ll mention in her obituary about that time in 1976 when you tripped her?” 😄 2d

dabbe I now want to hear the whole story where you tripped Queen Liz! Loved learning more about you, too. ♥️💙💚 2d

Amiable @TheKidUpstairs I‘m a die-hard tea drinker! 🫖 2d

Amiable @dabbe In 1976, Liz and Phillip visited the U.S. for the bicentennial. On July 11, they sailed from NYC to New Haven to catch a flight at Tweed Airport. My parents took us kids to the docks to see them. It was hot and I was bored, so I sat down on the curb and stretched my legs out. As they were traversing the wharf, the Queen stumbled over my legs. 😬 Thankfully she didn‘t fall. But it‘s a family legend now. 😄 2d

Bette Fascinating and fun—thanks for sharing. The jokes your son, the rocket scientist, can make. 😊 2d

monalyisha Great list — and hi! 👋🏻 2d

marleed Not me coming back to the post a day later to see if you continued the story of tripping Queen Elizabeth ❤️👑 1d

Amiable @marleed Ha ha! I didn‘t want to assume that there weren‘t others out there who had also tripped the Queen and were like, “ho hum, boring!” 😄 23h

Chrissyreadit wow!!! 🎉🎉🎉all of it! 21h

Bookwormjillk @lil1inblue @BarkingMadRead it‘s like a choose your own adventure book from back in the day except we have no choice 2d

lil1inblue @mcctrish 🎯 🎯 🎯 2d

Crinoline_Laphroaig And who I thought was main character - Albert Campion, (Goodreads says this is Albert Campoin #1) isn't the main narrator???? 2d

willaful @Bookwormjillk lol! 2d

willaful @BarkingMadRead I originally read this as an adolescent -- my mom had a lot of mysteries. And I remember trying to reread it at some point and finding that I couldn't follow it at all! I guess I had passed that period of reading where you don't understand much anyway so everything just kind of flows over you. 😂 2d

My tummy didn't like the Mexican food it had yesterday, so ... Kraft Mac 'N Cheese to the rescue. Probably still my #1 favorite food. Eating this now, and then gonna hygge in 13 minutes by catching up with the tagged book for the #hashtagbrigade. Enjoy your Sunday evening, everyone. ♥️💚💙

Guinness World Records 2026 | Guinness World Records

My #1 (maybe only) reading goal for 2026 is to knock accused sex offender Neil Gaiman off my top authors.
I tend to read 90% literature books, and the authors I love the most do not have a ton of books. So this has been a struggle I have thought about all year
I have 12 Gaiman books so I must have authors with 13 or more books. Kurt Vonnegut is already out ranking him. I want to stick with women and BIPOC authors.
I need 9 authors to bump him

ChaoticMissAdventures 2026 books to read
2 Toni Morrison (NF, I have read all her novels)
2 Margaret Atwood
4 Martha Wells
8 James Baldwin
8 Patricia Highsmith
9 Agatha Christie
& 3 more authors with 13 books..... 7d

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Have you read any Louise Erdrich? 7d

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Or Isabel Allende? 😊 7d

See All 15 Comments

Amiable John Irving has 16, I think 7d

ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage oh these 2 are good! I have only read 1 or 2 by each but I love that they are more diverse and literary. 7d

SaraBeagle Percival Everett has quite a bit! 7d

BarbaraBB Percival Everett is a good one and maybe Claudia Piñeiro? 7d

Ruthiella I was also thinking Percival Everett. 7d

squirrelbrain What about Margaret Atwood? I haven‘t counted but she *must* have more than 13! 7d

peanutnine I don't have any good author suggestions but wanted to point out that rereads do count for this graph, if you had some favorites you could bump them up that way! I'm trying to do the same thing but with JK Rowling off mine 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @SaraBeagle @BarbaraBB @Ruthiella Everett is the perfect choice! I have only read 2 of his. 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain oh yes! She has so many, And I have already read 11 of hers and Toni Morrison, so next month I am grabbing 2 of each. I have never read Robber Bride or Alias Grace so I think I will go with those. 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @peanutnine yes! I might have to do this with Jane Austen, I have lost track of how many times I have read Persuasion, but am happy to read it again. 6d

squirrelbrain Doh - I didn‘t even notice her on your list! 🤦‍♀️ She also has a new memoir out as well. 6d

BarbaraBB Alias Grace is fantastic! 6d

The Official We Do Not Care Club Handbook: A Hot-Mess Guide for Women in Perimenopause, Menopause, and Beyond Who Are Over It | Melani Sanders

#WDNCW @dabbe

We do not care that this book would have made a fabulous holiday gift, but it doesn't come out until January. We also do not care that we suffered yet another vertigo episode yesterday and have been dealing with it for over 30 years.

We also do not care that we are in no way ready for the holidays re: gifts, cards, decorations ... it all seems so overwhelming this year.

Care to share your “we do not cares?“ I'd love to hear 'em!

DGRachel #1 Boo to vertigo/dizzy spells. Feel better! #2 SQUEEE for WDNC book! (And there was a #3 wasn‘t there? Dang Litsy and their hiding of the post while leaving comments. My brain has already forgotten what I read and what I wanted to say! 😭😭) 1w

ShelleyBooksie I do not care that I am a 46 year old woman who has a golden tinsel christmas tree in her office decorated with squishmallow stuffies. They make me smile ♡ 1w

DGRachel OH! #3 - the whole world feels overwhelming right now. Fortunately it‘s just me and my mom and we basically quit doing Christmas. Neither one of us is good at waiting to give gifts to the other person so we buy them, and within two days it‘s like “here. Merry Christmas” and it‘s September 30th. 🤣🤣 The tree is up and has lights on it. There will be no ornaments. We‘re done. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 1w

dabbe @DGRachel Sounds like the perfect Christmas to me. 🩵☃️🩶 1w

Bklover I hate vertigo!! Hope it gets better.. this is the first time I‘ve seen the WDNC club- I‘m in a menopause WDNC club on TikTok. I even have a tshirt. 😊😉 1w

Bklover @DGRachel that happens to me too. By the time I hop over to make a comment I‘ve forgotten what I wanted to say. I also have the same problem with Christmas presents, and my tree has lights and that‘s it. Kindred spirits. 1w

AnnCrystal 💝💝💝 May you be all well now, and may you be able to focus more on the fun of the season in this overwhelming world 😘💝💝💝. 1w

ravenlee I feel so overwhelmed, too! There‘s too much going on, and expectations are too high, and everybody NEEDS SOMETHING FROM ME ALL THE TIME and I am already so freaking over it all! And yet, we have three weeks to go. 😖🙄😫 1w

dabbe @Bklover How cool is that? I adore her! Where did you get the shirt? I might have to get one, too! ♥️💙💚 1w

dabbe @AnnCrystal ♥️💙💚 1w

dabbe @ravenlee I say do what you can and let the rest go hang! You deserve some quality “me“ time, m'dear. ♥️💙💚 1w

Bklover I got the shirt on Melani‘s TikTok shop. I had a lady come up to me in Walmart to tell me that she‘s in the WDNC club too. Apparently there are a lot of us! 💙💙 1w

ravenlee Thanks for the sentiment - but it‘s mostly kiddo‘s Nutcracker commitments and my Christmas gigs causing all the stress, none of which is negotiable. 😖 The rest of the presents and family stuff is its own headache, of course, but I just fake it as I go. 1w

MemoirsForMe Vertigo sucks! Feel better! 🤗 1w

kspenmoll Feel better! 1w

dabbe @Bklover L💙VE! ♥️💙💚 1w

dabbe @ravenlee Wishful thinking on my part. Hang in there! ♥️💙💚 1w

dabbe @MemoirsForMe @kspenmoll TY! I feel better today. ♥️💙💚 1w

Killer Potential | Hannah Deitch

pick

Evie arrives to do her SAT tutoring session with a wealthy teen and finds the parents brutally murdered and a woman tied up in a closet. Then their daughter and her boyfriend arrive, prompting Evie and the woman to run, now as the #1 suspects. A bit thrillery but more than that, as the women get to know each other. I found this riveting and didn‘t want to stop listening. #TOB26
