Cuilin @Deblovestoread all I could see was the tech bros at the inauguration. 17h

Deblovestoread Yep! 17h

dabbe My brain shut down with all of these horrific folk. 🤬 16h

lil1inblue @Cuilin I want to throw up just thinking of that one picture. 15h

lil1inblue History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme. 15h

Cuilin @dabbe trying to balance, keeping informed and staying sane is proving to be most difficult. 😵‍💫 13h

Cuilin @lil1inblue And that was day 1!! 😮‍💨 13h

Blue Sisters | Coco Mellors

bailed

1/3 of the way in and I kept asking myself why am I reading a book about four sisters who do not at all seem real. Lots of people and Jenna loved this book, but I gave up. Maybe it was going to get better? If the characters can‘t come alive for me, I‘m just not interested. Farewell Blue Sisters.

TheBookHippie SOLIDARITY!!!!! 1d

Lesliereadsalot @TheBookHippie @dabbe Is it asking too much for the characters to be a little interesting? 🤔 1d

Dear Fang, With Love: A novel | Rufi Thorpe

The author put this quote both in her novel and in her acknowledgments. It hit me hard each time I read it. A great description of my current understanding of the world.

Leftcoastzen Wow,I‘m feeling it . 3d

1. After what was to me one of the worst days in American history this past Monday, the sun did come out the next day. And the next... If you want to hear the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard in my entire life, here's the link:

dabbe I love these books! 🩶🖤🩶 1w

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe I've only read two of them, but both times they helped when I was feeling unsettled. It's nice to read uplifting words of people in similar situations and know you're not the only one. 🩵🩵 1w

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau #truth Some could get a bit preachy (I'm not very religious), but I loved most of them. Plus, they usually were short, sweet, and made me feel better! 🩶🖤🩶 1w

Out of the Dust | Karen Hesse

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

This retired English teacher's score sucked! 😂 Though the 17 books I did read were not from childhood but from my years teaching middle school. My 3 choices are for the following reasons:
JOHNNY TREMAIN: #love
OUT OF THE DUST: #lovetoinfinity--in my top 5 list of fave books of all time!
CHARLOTTE'S WEB: Only an Honor winner? #wtf?

Here's the link if you haven't played yet: https://shorturl.at/kosig

Texreader I only read 3 2w

dabbe @Texreader If I hadn't taught middle school, I would have read 0! You're in good company; most of us scored less than 20. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 2w

Texreader @dabbe I do have some on my bookshelves I hope to read someday. 2w

Texreader @dabbe What subject did you teach? 2w

curiouserandcurioser I read 42 2w

dabbe @Texreader English! So you'd think I would have read more of these! I mostly taught high school, though, so zero Newbery winners for that age group! 🤩😂😘🤩 2w

dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Ya kicked my retired-English-teacher butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 2w

dabbe @Texreader Same here. Plus I want to reread JOHNNY TREMAIN again. I have my original teacher copy with all of my notes in it--same for OUT OF THE DUST. 2w

curiouserandcurioser It was fun to play:) 2w

dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Yay! I love taking polls! 🤩😂🤗 2w

DogMomIrene I got 17 too😂 A mix from my childhood & teaching years. That committee, though. Sometimes they pick books that may be all fancy pants literary, but good luck enticing a child to read it. 2w
