The Great Gatsby | F. Scott Fitzgerald

#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

Only 45/100 for this retired English teacher. 😱 Thanks to all of you who played, I am reprioritizing my TBR! Favorites today are above; hard to limit to just three.

What got me most about this list was how to rectify things like WAR & PEACE, CHARLOTTE'S WEB, 50 SHADES OF GREY, and THE TWILIGHT SERIES being on the SAME list! #whatthe 🤣
Here's the link again if you'd like to play: https://shorturl.at/SVh6e

BooksandCoffee4Me 42, not stellar. Loved DuMaurier‘s Rebecca! And so remember that day when my poor 6th-grade boys were trying so hard to hide their crying during Where the Red Fern Grows. Oh, and love that Hatchet got one of my inner-city guys to read a whole book! 5h

willaful @BooksandCoffee4Me My husband loved Hatchet. 4h

willaful 35 for me. And a lot of DNFs. 😂

It's an odd list! I have no idea what the theme is. 4h

Librarybelle 36 for me, though I‘ve read parts of the Narnia series, not the whole series. Lots on my to read list. 4h

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me My 4th grade teacher read WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS to us chapter by chapter after afternoon recess to calm us down. She had never read it before, and when she got to the end, she had to run out of the room sobbing while we sobbed without her. 😭

Loved HATCHET, too, though DOGSONG is my favorite of his. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 4h

dabbe @willaful From their website: “The Great American Read's criteria primarily focused on fiction books, specifically those loved by the American public. A survey conducted by PBS, The Great American Read, and a polling service formed the basis for the top 100 list.“

No wonder it's all over the place! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 4h

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Did you see that only ONE Christie made the list? And it happens to be my favorite of hers, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. I loved teaching that in high school! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 4h

shortsarahrose 22 for me, which is better than I expected? Agree with The Little Prince. Moby Dick and Little Women are other favorites. 4h

Librarybelle Yes! That‘s my favorite Christie too. Maybe it made the list because it is so suspenseful??? In any case, a worthy mention. 4h

dabbe @shortsarahrose 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 for reading MOBY DICK. I got as far as “Call Me Ishmael.“ 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 4h

dabbe @Librarybelle That one had one of the best surprise endings I have ever read. 4h

Butterfinger I look forward to these each Thursday. Thank you. 3h

dabbe @Butterfinger Well, you just made my day! TY! 😍 3h

War and Peace: Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky | Leo Tolstoy

Only 38. I took 18th and 19th century Russian lit in college, so I did have those long ones! I might have read more, but can‘t really remember. 🤔

#TLT @dabbe

dabbe We should be able to count them by the page, right? 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 6h

Lesliereadsalot Haha…yes! 🩷 5h

BooksandCoffee4Me @dabbe And those of us who had to read several repeatedly — with 6 classes every year for 20 years kind of repeatedly. 🫤 5h

BooksandCoffee4Me @Lesliereadsalot I confess I may have groaned out loud when I came to The Giver and to Call of the Wild on the survey. (edited) 2h

ChaoticMissAdventures

Pride and Prejudice | Austen

I have read 65 (I am counting some series even if I only read the first)

Favorites:
P&P
Beloved
Sirens of Titen ties with Hitchhikers Guide

3 I do want to read:
Anne Green Gables
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Another Country (one of the only Baldwins I have not read)

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

dabbe The only one I've read from your list if P&P! And you kicked my butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 7h

ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe how many did you get? I feel like a lot of these I read for school but I also just love a classic. I love seeing Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams with the likes of Austen and Bronte that all do amazing if different work. 6h

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I get so busy posting the original that I always forget to post my own score! 🤣 I got 45/100. I have some serious reading to do! 🤩 6h

ChaoticMissAdventures I looked at your post and thought, she keeps saying people are beating her but she will not say her number it must be so low 😂. 45 is good!!! You are beating many people 🎉 5h

The Great Gatsby | F. Scott Fitzgerald

pick

Read the book after Ann Patchett recommend iit on Instagram . She reads it once a year. I can see why it‘s considered a classic. I have seen the original movie. Found this copy in op shop today. 👏👏. Now have to find a copy of the first movie made with Ryan O‘Neil.

The Count of Monte Cristo | Alexandre Dumas

I read 27 of them. Not bad I think. Definitely some favorites in there and one I despised and bailed on. My favorites were The Count of Monte Cristo, Lonesome Dove, and Rebecca. I hated The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I want to read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. #tlt #threelistThursday @dabbe

Want to play? @Julsmarshall @Bookwormjillk

See link in the original post from @dabbe

Julsmarshall Ooh, fun! 12h

Bookwormjillk Thanks for the tag! 12h
