Lark Rise to Candleford - Trilogy: Lark Rise, Over to Candleford and Candleford Green | Flora Thompson

After 580 pages of my edition, I'm stunned that this only qualifies as a “bitsy“ chunkster. I feel like I just reached the summit of Everest and can now gladly glide down the other side. 😂

ferskner Ouch!!! 2w

BarkingMadRead It‘s one of those baby chunks that sneak up on you and clobber you over the head 🤣 2w

Amiable Some colossal chunksters glide by so smoothly we hardly know we‘ve moved, and certain bitsy ones make us work like Sisyphus. 😄 2w

dabbe @ferskner It was painful in quite a few places. 😂 2w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it's heavy enough to do some damage! 😂 2w

dabbe @Amiable Exactly. I feel like I rolled a boulder up Mt. Everest. On a good note, I feel like I achieved quite a bit since I bailed on last month's #hashtagbrigade book. I was determined to finish this one! 💪🏻 2w

BarkingMadRead No shade for bailing last time, almost everyone did 🤣🤣🤣 2w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it was my 2nd time trying it. #oytotheultimatevey 🤩 2w

julieclair Congrats for finishing! 🏆 I‘m still climbing uphill. But like you, I‘m determined to finish. 💪 2w

dabbe @julieclair ❣️💪🏻❣️ 2w

My score was sad. I have read only 16/100. My favorites are:

1. All the Light We Can Not see
2. Dracula
3. All the Pretty Horses

dabbe Not sad at all. More will be coming, and you're in fabulous company! I actually taught high school English and only scored a 20! Talke about sad! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1mo

dabbe @TheSpineView And what does one think about an English teacher who can't even spell “talk“ correctly? #oytotheultimatevey 😂 1mo

TheSpineView @dabbe It's all good...😆 1mo

A Thousand Ships | Natalie Haynes

Penelope's so done. 😆

dabbe What she had to put up with ... #oytotheultimatevey 😂 4mo

dabbe Have you ever read Dorothy Parker's “Penelope“? If not, here it is:
“In the pathway of the sun,
In the footsteps of the breeze,
Where the world and sky are one,
He shall ride the silver seas,
He shall cut the glittering wave.
I shall sit at home, and rock;
Rise, to heed a neighbor's knock;
Brew my tea, and snip my thread;
Bleach the linen for my bed.
They will call him brave.“ 4mo

Robotswithpersonality @dabbe I hadn't, no. That's beautiful. ♥️ 4mo

Ruth: a novel | Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

I was reading my chapter for tomorrow & realized there was only one more so I went ahead and finished. What. An. Ending. So thankful to @BarkingMadRead for leading the #hashtagbrigade and pointing me in the direction of books I probably wouldn‘t pick up on my own & creating a community to share them with. There was so much yelling, swearing, absolute fury from me for some of these characters #bellingshit will not be forgotten #dontthrowthekindle

Cuilin Perfect review!!! 6mo

willaful 😂 I couldn't make it through the Brothers, so I'm glad to have shared in this. 6mo

This topic 🔥 “in me brain“ (EA Poe). Center: a copy of the shirt I proudly wore (now passed on to a younger teacher) every single day I introduced a banned book to my students. All of the books above I have proudly and unreservedly taught to my 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th graders. In 2023, the # of banned books has ⬆️ by 65% from 2022. Visit the ALA if you want to get involved. 👊

U. S. Postal Service (USPS): Ending Saturday Delivery Would Reduce Costs, But Comprehensive Restructuring Is Also Needed | Phillip Herr

#LitsyLoveSnailMail @dabbe looks like the us postal service was rough on your letter. But with a special envelope, I still got it 👍 🤪

dabbe I hope you can still read it! #oytotheultimatevey 🩵💙🩵 6mo

LiseWorks @Dabbe, lol, the stuff in the package went all over. The news letter was ok but the little note was pretty damaged. I made out a few lines on that and got the gist of the question I'll answer you In a few days. 6mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie The scenes between Chamberberlain and Ward ... #hubbahubba! 🔥 6mo

TheLudicReader I loved the book and the mini series so much. I remember thinking Richard Chamberlain was so hot back in the day and the angst! 6mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🔥🔥🔥🔥 6mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader the angst!!! 6mo

TheLudicReader I know, right? @TheBookHippie. Angst is my favourite. I rewatched the series about 15 years ago and I can‘t say that I saw Chamberlain in quite the same way, but as a teenager. Hell yes! 6mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I remember my first thought was, “How naughty!“ Of course, I was a religious freak then, so I was like 😮, yet I couldn't stop reading or watching! 🤩😂🤩 6mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader @TheBookHippie He's now 90 years old! 😱 6mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader College me was 😍🤪🔥 6mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe HOW CAN THIS BE?! 6mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe 90??!! 6mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie I know! 😮 6mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk @dabbe I am not okay 👵🏼 6mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Similar thought: When I showed my juniors the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY, all the girls were like, “Is that Brad Pitt?“ I told them that it was Robert Redford and that Pitt could only wish he was that good-looking. They were all 👀 over him ... until I told them he was in his 80s. 😂 6mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe I just rewatched The Way We Were 😅 6mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Here's me every time I watch that movie: 😭. Here's me when I even watch a CLIP of this movie: 😭. #babsandbob 🩶🖤🩶 (edited) 6mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #bareminimum 🤧🤧🤧 Years ago, I was home from college for the weekend and was watching this with my mom. My sister came home from a date, started watching it with us, and then when the pivotal moment came said, “I'm going to be really pissed if these two don't end up together.“ 😂 6mo

Eggs Loved this book! Read it in 1981, my first summer in Tx ❤️❤️ 6mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe right?!?! Oy. 6mo

Eggs @dabbe I first saw Richard Chamberlain on an old tv show in the 1950s - he played Dr Kildare (Dr Dreamy) 6mo

tournevis @Eggs Dr. Kildare! I and every other Quebecker alive back then watched Les oiseaux se cachent pour mourir in 1983, and we all thought he looked dreamy too. My mother read the book, and told me all about it, enough that I never bothered to try. I wonder how different the original is for the French trna 6mo

tournevis @Eggs *translation 6mo

Eggs @tournevis 🩷🥰❤️ 6mo
