Puffin Classics Little Women | Louisa May Alcott

#FeelinTheLove

When I think of books with #ParentChildLove Little Women comes to mind quickly. Marmee had great love for her daughters & they for her.

(The 1994 movie version is my nostalgic favorite, but the 2019 version is also excellent).

Tess of the D Urbervilles | Thomas Hardy

#ThreeListThursday #tlt

Finally, a score I can (sort of) live with. I definitely need to up my classics game!
Three favorites include:
1. THE SECRET GARDEN. A favorite since childhood.
2. TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES. Read this with #hashtagbrigade, and it was my favorite book of 2023!
3. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Since I was required to read it in high school. A favorite to have taught as well.

Librarybelle It kind of reminded me of the very first story we read, with the next section alluding to a past circumstance (the convoluted long backstory from the first story we read popped into my mind. I section 2 is not like that). The reveal falls in line with other reveals. I think, overall, this story has more substance, as it is longer than a short story, which really helps bring out all of the details. 3w

Cuilin @Librarybelle yes! There‘s a great energy/excitement yet the pace is calm. My curiosity was maintained without anxiety. 3w

dabbe @Librarybelle I wrote a similar thought re: similarities to A STUDY IN SCARLET, too! #greatminds 3w

dabbe Without giving away spoilers to Part 2 (which I've just finished): While most Sherlock Holmes stories focus primarily on the puzzle and its solution, THE VALLEY OF FEAR incorporates broader themes such as justice, revenge, and the impact of secret societies. The backstory provides a richer, more complex understanding of the characters' motivations and the societal issues at play during this time period. 3w

AnneCecilie It does remind me of several of the stories in that the solution comes before we know what happened. There‘s been several guilty people giving their statements to Holmes and explaining everything. 3w

CatLass007 @dabbe There are very few places less terrifying than our country. 1mo

CatLass007 @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit I think this is a wonderful idea! This is one of the many reasons I love Litsy. We‘re not just a group of people who love books, we‘re a group of people who care about each other. We care about the world at large. I am looking for mentally healthy and constructive ways to resist the fascist oligarchy in which most of us live. Is there a tag list for #MentalHealthMonday? Or for the self-care group you mentioned? (cont)⬇️ 1mo

CatLass007 If so, please add me to the tag list. 1mo

AllDebooks @CatLass007 Thank you for your kind words. I'm with you 💯 x There isn't a taglist for #hyggehour just the hashtag. I'll add you to the #LitSolace event taglist. This is a wellbeing, self-care group that runs all year. The biggest events are around the solstice and we use #MidwinterSolace running until end of Jan and #MidSummerSolace. Welcome x 1mo

AllDebooks @CatLass007 #MentalHealthMonday is run by @Kerrbearlib 💙 1mo

CatLass007 @AllDebooks Thank you for adding me to the #LitSolace tag. And thank you for the information about #HyggeHour and #MentalHealthMonday. 1mo
