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

#ChunksterChallenge2025 @Amiable
#AllergicToChunksters @julieclair
#hashtagbrigade @BarkingMadRead

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!!! 2mo

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

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

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

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

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! 💪🏻 2mo

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

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

julieclair Congrats for finishing! 🏆 I‘m still climbing uphill. But like you, I‘m determined to finish. 💪 1mo

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @Dabbe

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. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

TheSpineView @dabbe 🤩🌞😍 2mo

dabbe @TheSpineView And what does one think about an English teacher who can't even spell “talk“ correctly? #oytotheultimatevey 😂 2mo

TheSpineView @dabbe It's all good...😆 2mo

A Thousand Ships | Natalie Haynes

Penelope's so done. 😆

dabbe What she had to put up with ... #oytotheultimatevey 😂 5mo

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.“ 5mo

Robotswithpersonality @dabbe I hadn't, no. That's beautiful. ♥️ 5mo

A Dark-Adapted Eye | Barbara Vine

I got 36

The tagged book is my #1 favorite of the list. I read this book and became a huge Ruth Rendell fan (she also writes as Barbara Vine). I spent one summer reading every book of hers I could get my hands on! My other favorites were The Secret History and of course….whatever Stephen King book that was.

@dabbe #TLT

LeahBergen I love Rendell (and Vine) and spent a few years (ages ago now) reading all of them, too! 5mo

AmyG @LeahBergen I know so few who have read her books. They don‘t know what they are missing! 5mo

dabbe I've never read Rendell/Vine ... now on the TBR! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🎃🖤 5mo

AmyG @dabbe You love mysteries, right? She is the QUEEN. Ok wait…I forgot about Agatha Christie. So….she is the PRINCESS! Or the Other Other QUEEN! (edited) 5mo

dabbe @AmyG How did I not know this? #oytotheultimatevey! 😂 5mo

Ruth: a novel | Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

pick

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!!! 7mo

willaful 😂 I couldn't make it through the Brothers, so I'm glad to have shared in this. 7mo

mcctrish @willaful oh them bros, I can‘t believe I made it through!!! This is the second EG I‘ve read with #hashtagbrigade and I have to say I really do like her ( even if she makes me gnash my teeth ) 7mo

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 🩵💙🩵 7mo

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. 7mo
