I got 65/100. Several I had never heard, but now want to try. Here are the three that I will try first:

1. Butterscotch Pie
2. Graham Cracker Toffee
3. Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Now I want pie! 🥧 great list @dabbe #TLT

TheSpineView I tried the Strawberry Pretzel at a pot luck. I liked the sweet and savory combo. 1mo

dabbe I do, too! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🍁🤎 1mo

MaureenMc In my neck of the woods (Midwest) we emphasize the *salad* part of strawberry pretzel salad, so it‘s a side dish, not a dessert. 🤣🤣 (edited) 1mo

Mollyanna @TheSpineView that‘s what intrigues me about it. I love sweet/salt together. 1mo

Mollyanna @MaureenMc I grew up with cookie salad or snickers salad as a side dish 😂, so I‘m right there with you! 1mo

I've seen 18/100 of these fan favorites! Not a very good ranking, but I'm a 90's baby. What do you rank?

dabbe Not bad at all! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🎃🖤 3mo

I got 91/100… I love movie soundtracks. It‘s hard to pick top 3 songs, so I‘ll go with top 3 singers/actors

1. Gene Kelly
2. Barbra Streisand
3. Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers

Honorable Mention: Judy Garland

Classic movie musicals are totally my thing 😊

lil1inblue I love classic movies - especially the musicals. Gene Kelly is just phenomenal! 4mo

Mollyanna @lil1inblue Absolutely agree. He could sing, he could dance… Love Gene Kelly. 4mo

dabbe #woohooyou! I adore classics and musicals, too! And your choices? 🎯 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩶❤️🖤 4mo

Mollyanna @dabbe this was a trip down memory lane, I couldn‘t get enough of the classic musicals during my teens and early 20s. 4mo

#Top25of21

My top 25 books of the 21st century so far. I had to leave so many great books off the list that I‘m probably going to make this “part 1” and do a Top 50…

Billypar

BarbaraBB Great list! I should have added an Everett too! 4mo

Billypar Very nice list! Atonement and Bel Canto were such incredible, sad books 💔 Life of Pi is one that sticks with me: I remember feeling fully immersed in that story 🐅 4mo

#top25of21st
I have feeling someone has already started a thread about this and I missed it, but with the NY Times recent list of 100 best books of this century, it seems like a good opportunity to try and figure out my own. So if anyone wants to join in, I'd love to see what your favorites are. I chose 25 instead of 100 and just novels since I have a hard time comparing nonfiction or story collections, but feel free to make your own rules!

Billypar Reddit thread with the NYT list (#s 3, 23, and 25 are on it): https://www.reddit.com/r/literature/comments/1e1h8cc/lets_talk_about_nyts_best_b... 5mo

LiteraryinPA Thanks for sharing your personal list! 5mo

Ruthiella I don‘t know if I could whittle it down? 😂 Ishiguro would be on it for sure, but I‘d pick “Never Let Me Go” and for Mitchell, “Cloud Atlas”. 5mo

See All 25 Comments

Suet624 There are so many that I like on this list but numbers 18 through 21 are my absolute favorites, especially Marra‘s book. I guess I would add Fresh Water for Flowers. 🙂 5mo

TheBookHippie Gah … okay I‘ll work on it!! I agree with your 14&25 5mo

TheBookHippie Oh 13 too! 5mo

BkClubCare Wow - I have 3 of these on my Aug bookspin bingo card 5mo

plemmdog I loved #10 and #19! 5mo

Billypar @Ruthiella Never Let Me Go is on my to be read shelf, so hopefully I'll get to that soon. I pulled about 35 initial candidates from my shelves, but whatever number you set, it always leads to tough choices. 5mo

Billypar @Suet624 I need to bump FWFF up on my TBR based on everything I've heard. And I'd like to read more from Marra based on how powerful Constellation was. 5mo

Billypar @TheBookHippie Chabon's Kavalier & Clay is on the NYT list and is also great, but I feel like Yiddish Policeman's Union gets overlooked among his novels. I still need to read the newest releases from Obreht and Ward. 5mo

Billypar @BkClubCare If it works out that you get Drive Your Plow... I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. One of the most unique murder mysteries I've read, and it's got some great dark humor. 5mo

Billypar @plemmdog The voices of the narrators in both of those novels are so distinctive, I can almost conjure them in my head now. I never wanted to put either one down while I was reading. 5mo

TheBookHippie @Billypar I agree!! 5mo

BkClubCare @Billypar - Looking forward to it; starting it next 🤩 5mo

BarbaraBB Great list. Did you choose them from The NY Times list? 5mo

Billypar @BarbaraBB No, I was just finding favorites from my shelf. There are three from NYT's - A Brief History 7 Killings, Bel Canto, and Sing, Unburied, Sing. It's got lots of good ones, but I've only read a little more than 1/3. 5mo

Reggie I love that you have Bunny and Fever Dream in there. 🖤🖤🖤 5mo

Billypar @Reggie If weirdness was like paint, I think my entire list has a thin coat, but those are two where it collected and pooled 😆🖤 5mo

vivastory Fantastic list! 👏 🤘 5mo

Christine This is a really great list!! 4mo

sarahbarnes So many great ones on here - and a few that are high up on my TBR. 4mo

Billypar @sarahbarnes I feel like nothing on my TBR gets read unless I see the book recommended multiple times, so I like how these lists help with prioritizing. 4mo

merelybookish Fabulous picks! I think Bunny would make mine as well. I think often my 'best' books become the ones I don't forgot. And I have not forgotten Bunny! 4mo

Billypar @merelybookish Yeah, that's a good standard to use. I'm pretty sure Bunny won't ever stop hopping around my brain! 4mo
