I Did It! | Anna Ross
post image

I really didn‘t think I‘d make it but I finally bullied my way through the somewhat disappointing Stegner novel to finish my 10th book of the challenge. Thanks for the push to get these off my piles/shelves and to focus on books I own rather than picking up the shiny pennies at the library. (If you know, you know.) #offtheshelf. #10BeforetheEnd

ChaoticMissAdventures It's a tough challenge!! Great job!! So glad it worked for you 5d
Amiable Nice job! I haven‘t read that Stegner yet. Now I probably won‘t. 5d
Suet624 @ChaoticMissAdventures it was super helpful. Thank you. 5d

Suet624 @Amiable it was lauded when it was published but that was years ago. Maybe in a few days I‘ll have a different opinion, but I just finished it today and it was hard to finish. 4d
Amiable @Suet624 That‘s disappointing. I loved “Crossing to Safety” and “Angle of Repose.” And also enjoyed “The Big Rock Candy Mountain.” (edited) 4d
Suet624 @Amiable I‘d be happy to send it to you to try it out if you‘re interested. I‘ve liked his other books. 4d
Amiable @Suet624 It‘s available at my library if I want to give it a go —no need to spend postage on mailing it to me. Thanks, though! 🩵 4d
kspenmoll Congrats!!!‘ 4d
Suet624 @kspenmoll thanks! 4d
Ruthiella Wow! 🤩 Great job! 👏👏👏 4d
vivastory Impressive, Sue! I was looking at my list earlier and I think that I'd read like 3 or 4, but I definitely hope to knock out one more 4d
Suet624 @Ruthiella thank you. 🙂 4d
Suet624 @vivastory thanks, Scott. My main goal was to stay focused on getting books off my shelf. My apartment is too small for all these piles/shelves of books. 🙂 4d
vivastory I totally understand! I have become *much* more selective in what I buy for my personal collection 4d
Suet624 @vivastory my downfall is the library. I get distracted and excited by all the flashing new titles. 4d
Hooked_on_books Woohoo! 🥳 4d
squirrelbrain Well done! 🎉 4d
PaperbackPirate Congratulations! 👏📚📚📚 4d
sarahbarnes Great work!! 🎉 3d

This young-adult mystery is set on the Canadian, a train that travels between Toronto and Vancouver. Almost all the characters, including the teenage sleuth, were unpleasant but I enjoyed very much the details of the setting. I've always wanted to do the cross-Canada journey on this well-known train!

#TTT @dabbe #takethreethursday

I guessed on a few, so I'm thrilled with my score! Three of my favorite holiday songs:
1. “Christmastime is Here“: not from a movie, but a tv show--the best holiday one ever! (A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, of course!)
2. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas“: written for the movie MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and sung by the incomparable Judy Garland.
3. “Silver and Gold“ by Burl Ives: another tv show (RUDOLPH).

rubyslippersreads I ❤️ Judy‘s version of this song, with the more melancholy lyrics than newer versions. 2w
dabbe @rubyslippersreads Oh, me, too. I weep every time I watch her sing it to Tootie. 😭 2w
shortsarahrose @rubyslippersreads Completely agree - Judy‘s version is the best and the original lyrics are superior! 2w
kspenmoll Ho ho ho. I scored a dismal 30%! 2w
dabbe @kspenmoll Time to watch some holiday movies with soundtracks! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️💙💚 2w

Look what I‘m reading, @Centique . You were the last person to post about this book … 8 years ago. 😆

A young girl discovers that she can visit the past while riding her pony, Candy (aka Candlelight). I can‘t resist a vintage time-slip story!

Tamra Looks like delightful escapism. 😍 3mo
LeahBergen @Tamra That it is. And just what I need! 😆 (edited) 3mo

July #WrapUp.

Wow! July was a really bad reading month for me. I dnf‘d The Cake House and best of the month was The Other Side of Tomorrow. Sheesh, hope August is a better reading month.

Yunho and Myunghee‘s escapes from North Korea were harrowing to read! The descriptions of their existences in North Korea and while on the run were horrible and so difficult to read. Stories like these are so important to remind us that kids (people) in this world live lives much different than ours.

(I had an issue with how Christianity was presented as a miracle, but was able to overlook it.)

Mrs. W. rear-ends an old lady, Mrs. Harrington, then Jess & Liz befriend her & help out around her house. Jess is particularly taken with her, especially once she discovers Mrs. H. is really a famous retired movie star, Dolores Dufay. She pays for Jess to take acting classes & helps her with a school play. I actually really enjoyed this because I love it when Jess acts like a decent person & does the right thing. So refreshing! 😆4⭐️
