merelybookish @TheLudicReader Maybe "classic" is a bit strong! But some people do remember it with fondness! 3w

I'm trying hard to read multiple books a month this year and hopefully I'll be able to follow through so I can complete a book bracket. It will be a small amount of books to pick from a month but still fun none the less. West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge was my favourite read in January. I will never forget the characters from this book.

Note: Not my template - off pintrest.

So I was a little annoyed that this book was more about two people working at a newspaper than about children being sold out of desperation in the 1930s. But after a bit I became so immersed in the story that it didn't matter anymore.

3/80

#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?

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

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! 🤩😂😘🤩 2mo
dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Ya kicked my retired-English-teacher butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 2mo
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. 2mo
curiouserandcurioser It was fun to play:) 2mo
dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Yay! I love taking polls! 🤩😂🤗 2mo
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. 2mo

Have you ever finished a book and you‘re not sure if you pick up another for a while because it was so good? That‘s how I feel after finishing The Four Winds

This was a nice coming of age story about a boy who has no one and nowhere to go. It was a lighter, quick read and I felt connected to the characters. Mostly fiction, as the only real historical fiction is the giraffes being driven across the country. But it was nice to see that story become a story. Giraffes humming is probably my favourite fact I learned.

Long day watching the Grand, though we did have a blast at SkyZone (indoor trampoline park)! And I'm amazed at just how much the 5min knee exercises coupled with a daily 1.5 mile 100ft elevation walks have made difference in my leg strength and stamina; cause it certainly doesn't feel that way when I'm walking up that dreaded, fucking hill 😂

Book and relaxation time 😌

willaful I gave my daughter a SkyZone trip with a friend for Christmas; she was so happy. Her previous trampoline place closed during lockdown so she hadn't been in at least 4 years. 2mo
TheBookgeekFrau @willaful It's so much fun!! 2mo
