DGRachel I did better this time but still didn‘t beat the average. I got 19. Too many on my favorites list, many that I have tried, failed, and will never try again (not counted) and several I‘d like to read. Fun! 12h

Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes 17/100. The Joy Luck Club, Love Medicine, Little Fires Everywhere, Little Women, Housekeeping, and Going After Cacciato all jumped out at me. Some were ‘Did I read this? I don‘t remember‘ (didn‘t count those). 12h

PuddleJumper What's ap literature? 11h

dabbe @DGRachel Yay to beating your score last week! I hope I do the same. And don't say you “failed“ at reading them. You #hailedthebails! 🤩 I cringed at quite a few of these just by looking at their covers! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 11h

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes I say if you even thought you might have read it, it should count! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 11h

dabbe @PuddleJumper AP stands for Advanced Placement, and it's usually a senior course in high school where, if a student takes the 4-5 hour literature exam at the end of the year (multiple-choice and 3-4 essays), she/he/they can receive college credit and not have to take English 101 or 102 in college. Also, if a student receives an “A“ in the class, it counts as a 5.0 re: gpa, not a 4.0. 11h

MaleficentBookDragon I hated Ethan Frome soooooooo much!

Ethan Frome

11h

MaleficentBookDragon Better than last week but still not a lot. 21 (lady week 17). 11h

dabbe @MaleficentBookDragon You're still in fantastic company; pretty much most of us are between 5-30. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 11h

dabbe @MaleficentBookDragon That book is so flippin' sad! 😭 11h

PuddleJumper @dabbe Ahh, ok we don't have anything like that in the U.K 11h

BkClubCare 35 for me! With one title I am not sure of and a few that I skimmed or only *think* I have read (cough, Great Expectations, cough) 11h

BkClubCare @MaleficentBookDragon - there are some HILARIOUS youtube videos by HS kids mocking that book. 11h

BkClubCare P 11h

dabbe @PuddleJumper I should have explained with the 1st list last week. Sorry about that! 🩶🩵🩶 11h

dabbe @BkClubCare #yahooyou! Great Ex: 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 11h

CogsOfEncouragement I checked off 14 again. Four were assigned to me in HS. 11h

LA1 Rank 72 out of 81 with a score of 23 🤷🏼‍♀️ I didn‘t think I would get any but a few is good 😊 11h

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement There's quite a few on this list that I'm not even remotely interested in reading! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 10h

dabbe @LA1 You got more than a few, and you're in good company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 10h

Patchshank Thanks for the tag. I've read 10. There's a few there I own but haven't read like Kafka on the shore and kindred. 10h

BookNAround 44 on this one so fewer than last week. 😉 9h

LiseWorks I only read 14 and only because I had to either for school or it was on my tbr forever 9h

TheLudicReader A whopping 18! 😬 8h

peaKnit Doh! 10! lol 8h

bibliothecarivs Seven for me this time, more than my four from last time. 7h

dabbe @Patchshank I have quite a few, too. Maybe someday, right? 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 7h

dabbe @BookNAround #yourock! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 7h

dabbe @LiseWorks I hear ya! #metoo 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 7h

dabbe @TheLudicReader We're in good company! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 7h

dabbe @peaKnit Dohing is not allowed! 😂 Ya done good are in great company with the rest of us! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 7h

dabbe @bibliothecarivs Some book covers on this list did not do much to make me want to read them! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 7h

Bookwormjillk 20 for me. Ethan Frome and The Great Gatsby are two favorites I always think though people should wait until they‘re 30 to read them. Grapes of Wrath is another favorite. One of the few assigned readings I finished in school. Even then I loved to #HailTheBail 4h

Texreader Ive only read 9, but can‘t remember all the Shakespeare I‘ve read and I question a few others. The best books from this batch were by women: Frankenstein, Kindred, The Handmaid‘s Tale, and In the Time of the Butterflies. 4h

Texreader @dabbe Oh I was wondering! I‘m too old for all that “Advanced Placement” test stuff! 😉 We had a special English class for a few seniors who wanted advanced reading. And it was great. But that‘s all it was. 4h

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Agree 💯. These books I feel are sometimes wasted on the high school kids who need to live more and suffer more to truly appreciate them. #Hailingthebail was a favorite activity of mine, too--plus reading CLIFF'S NOTES! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 3h

dabbe @Texreader Yay for women writers! Curious as to which ones you question, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 3h

dabbe @Texreader Your senior class sounds a lot more fun than the AP one! We once had a class for seniors that was called Senior Contemporary Novels, and it was fabulous. Kids reading books and discussing a la a book-club format. Now, there's no room for exploratory classes like that. A true bummer. 3h

Texreader @dabbe Oh that sounds lovely! 7m

rwmg 28, better than my 21 last week.

Quite a few I know I've read but remember almost nothing about. now
