1. Gulp. I scored 38/100 bildungsromans that I've read. 😱 I have LOTS more coming-of-age books to read! 3 that I haven't read from the list: TELL THE WOLVES I'M HOME, THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD, and IT.
2. 3 I'd like to add to the list: DOGSONG, FOREVER, HUCK FINN.

Another fun mystery with Nancy, her friends, George and Bess, and finally Ned Nickerson! I had forgotten that Ned could be quite flirtatious and Nancy quite demure. Add to that a mansion gone up in flames, a missing owner, and a poor family in need, and you've got quite a puzzle for Nancy to solve! Nancy doesn't hit her head in this one, but she does get slapped in the face. 😱 I look forward to the discussion on 5/15.

@BookmarkTavern

I would want a memoir from EA Poe after he was dead. I want to know exactly what happened to him on the last day of his life. Why was he disheveled and wearing clothes that didn't fit him? Did he have rabies? Was the famous author killed from a beating? From carbon monoxide poisoning? From alcohol withdrawal? Cooping? Brain tumor? Flu? Murder? #theafterlifememoir 😀

mabell That is truly an intriguing real life mystery! 6d

dabbe @mabell 🤩😀🤗 6d

Bookwomble I listened to an In Our Time podcast about Poe the other day, and one of the panelists speculated that, perhaps, he'd been "press ganged" into voting fraud, which was apparently a thing at the time - fake identity and "voter" threatened into the ballot to support a particular candidate. And, checking just now for reliability, I find this article on Wikipedia about "cooping": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooping ?‍⬛ 5d

What did y'all think? 🤩

IndoorDame I think this is the first time Sherlock and I agree that no crime was committed and everyone should run along home 😂 7d

Librarybelle True, @IndoorDame ! 7d

dabbe @IndoorDame Unless you want to charge Hatty Doran with bigamy! 😀 7d

See All 9 Comments

IndoorDame @dabbe oooh, we totally could! But it seems petty since she didn‘t steal money from either husband (and running off with your own fortune is the sort of thing that calls for recriminations against marrying someone just for the money) 7d

dabbe @IndoorDame Agree 💯. Hatty and Frank deserve each other. 😂 7d

dabbe A couple of things I found to be a hoot in this one:
•When Lestrade is so proud of the clue he found, Holmes looks at it, and Lestrade SHRIEKS, “You're looking at the wrong side!“
•When Simon dares to say to Holmes that the cases he's solved so far were from the lower classes, Sherlock replies that he is “descending“ in Simon's case and that his last client “of the sort was a king.“ 7d

kelli7990 I liked this story. 6d

CogsOfEncouragement @dabbe Yes, Wrong side!?! - so funny. And when Simon is quite struck that he is not the highest client Holmes has aided. (HOW embarrassing lol)

I also thought is was silly for Simon to come for help from Holmes but then say “I am afraid it will take wiser heads than yours or mine“ and then amusing when Holmes says it was an honor of Simon to put his head on the level with Simon's.

@Librarybelle @IndoorDame 6d

What did y'all think? 🤩

IndoorDame I think you could title this one Everyone Behaving Badly. Watson and the hapless inspector seem to me to come off the best, and our society couple the worst, but no one‘s behavior quite reaches noble, and Holmes‘ staging of the reveal is a bit self serving and distasteful. 7d

Librarybelle I‘m not sure anyone‘s behavior could be described as noble. St. Simon does remind me of the stereotypical nobility-type. 7d

dabbe Hatty's dad was abominable: getting rich then forbidding his daughter to marry Frank because he had no money, but hey, let's marry a lord for his title! Frank doesn't think Hatty can stay faithful unless they secretly marry so he can “feel sure of her.“ Plus he has her go through with the marriage to Simon when he magically appears at her wedding? Why couldn't they cause a scene at the church? They certainly did later! ⬇️ (edited) 7d

See All 12 Comments

dabbe Then Hatty wants to avoid everything and everybody: it's too “dreadful hard“ to tell Simon the truth, so let's just run away. Oh, and let's have Frank hide her wedding clothes because that'll solve everything. It takes SH to make them see the light, and then he thinks they can all get together for a happy supper? Yowza! 😂 7d

dabbe And ... no one seems to care what happens to Flora Miller. Lestrade thinks she killed Hatty, so is she left to still rot in jail? And even though Simon behaved “nobly“ by shaking Hatty's hand, he had no problem flinging it with Flora--just as any noble bachelor would do, right? 7d

Sace @dabbe Exactly! I need more story about Flora! 6d

CogsOfEncouragement @IndoorDame @Librarybelle @dabbe @sace I was surprised Watson was callous, saying Simon was not very gracious, while Holmes understood the hurt of losing a bride (okay & fortune lol). I saw Holmes as thoughtful providing an expensive dinner to allow Simon to get some closure in a private space. With upscale bottles of wine, for him to ease his pain as he heard the tale w/Holmes & Watson serving as buffer. And Yes, was Flora justified? 6d

IndoorDame @dabbe yes, I really hope someone gets her out of jail!!!!🤞🏼its maybe not strictly “nice” to crash your exes wedding to cause a scene, but I don‘t think we can justify the level punishment for her rudeness she‘d get for kidnapping and killing the new bride! 6d

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Holmes does show his softer side in this one, doesn't he? Excellent point! 🤩 6d

dabbe @IndoorDame @Sace I've read that Doyle was known for “forgetting“ plot lines throughout his stories, but in the same one? He totally leaves Flora out there to hang! 6d

Sace Did Doyle forget or was she just a run of the mill danseuse not worthy of anything more? (I just wanted an excuse to use danseuse in a sentence 😂) 6d

Aimeesue @Sace 😂😂😂 3d

Adventure of the Noble Bachelor: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

What did y'all think? 🤩

Cuilin I really enjoyed it with its soap opera, telenovela vibe about it!! 7d

IndoorDame @Cuilin same! 7d

Librarybelle That‘s a good way of describing it, @Cuilin ! 7d

dabbe We have everyone pretty much behaving abominably and misreading one another, and then SH tries to have the proverbial happy ending like a Shakespearean comedy of errors, to a “soap opera,“ as @Cuilin stated so well. 7d

CogsOfEncouragement How many times have I read a story, where the whole of the problem could have been solved with one conversation??? It was good of Holmes to pressure Hatty to face Simon. It was the decent thing to do. And as someone also pointed out on another post - Flora did nothing to Hatty. Lestrande needed proof of that though lol. @Cuilin @IndoorDame @Librarybelle @dabbe 6d

kelli7990 I didn‘t laugh but I found one part of the story kind of funny. 6d

dabbe @kelli7990 Would you like to share which one? 🤩 6d

kelli7990 @dabbe I don‘t remember what scene it was. 6d

dabbe @kelli7990 No problem. If you found it funny, that's what matters. 🤗 6d

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement imagine if people would just talk and share information 🫢 6d

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

A different kind of list today; read the above info. LINK TO THE MOVIE LIST:
https://bit.ly/3wjI50s

1. My score was 128/187 = 68% D+ 😱 I'm stunned by how many wonderful movies I've never seen from this era!
2. 3 that I want to watch but never had before are AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, BLUE VELVET, and CLUE.
You can answer both or just one or none! 😂
Tagging those who gave answers; but ALL are welcome! 🤗

Mimi28, thegirlwiththelibrarybag, TheBookHippie, Kshakal, Susanita, Gissy, TheKidUpstairs, Deblovestoread, thebacklistbook, JessClark78, vivastory, Eggs, slategreyskies, Read4life, Monica5, CindyMyLifeIsLit, RamsFan1963, TheSpineView, InkedBookworm13, AmandaBlaze

ChaoticMissAdventures I have seen 100 even. I feel like I might have seen some of the others but I don't have clear memories of it. But then again I have probably watched Top Gun 187 times so that took away time from other movies 😂. It was my absolute favorite movie as a kid. 1w

TheBookHippie 178/187 👀 ALLLLL IN THE THEATER!!! In the 80s. (edited) 1w

slategreyskies I‘ve only seen 55/187. I‘m not surprised it‘s low, because I dislike watching new (to me) movies and tend to reach for the same familiar ones over and over again. 🎥 🍿 1w

See All 47 Comments

Mimi28 I got 63 out of 187, 34%. I think it is mostly because I grew up without cable, lol. 1w

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures We have our favorites, don't we? I think the one I've seen the most of is from 1978, GREASE. I could probably still act out the entire movie as a 1-scary-ass-woman show. 😂 1w

dabbe @TheBookHippie Wowza! You win the prize! 🤩🤩🤩 1w

dabbe @slategreyskies Agree 💯 , especially now. All I want to do is watch film noir movies from the 1940s, especially THE MALTESE FALCON and THE BIG SLEEP. 🤩🤩🤩 1w

dabbe @Mimi28 Cable? For me it was VHS, baby! Blockbuster was the place to go and bring home movies to watch. 🤩🤩🤩 1w

TheBookHippie @dabbe who knew I saw so many 😱😳🤭🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

CBee 110/187 - a lot of those were horror which I don‘t do 😂😵‍💫 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe I will recite Top Gun to you if you act out Grease for me 😂. We need more fun comfy movies like these. 1w

IndoorDame A shocking number that I don‘t remember well enough to know if they even count as yeses 😂 and a few that I could never see enough times and now must watch again, immediately, since you‘ve reminded me of them! 1w

Bookwormjillk 44% which is one point above average 😂 And like @IndoorDame some I just wasn‘t sure. 1w

Read4life 99 which is above the current average score of 87. 1w

dabbe @TheBookHippie You're my hero! 🤩🤗😘 1w

dabbe @CBee There were some great horror movies in the 80s, weren't there? I'm talking to you, FRIDAY THE 13TH! 😂 1w

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures Boy, we sure do, don't we? Complete escapist ones that make us happy. 🤗 1w

dabbe @IndoorDame Same here. I'm going to be on 80s overload for a while! 😂 1w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I know! Does that mean we're losing our memories? I hope not! 😂 1w

dabbe @Read4life Not bad m'dear! 🤩🤗😘 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag 54/187 for me, great decade of movies! Thanks for putting the list together @dabbe - so fun! 1w

TheBookHippie @CBee @dabbe 🎵 One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, four, Better lock your door Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, Gonna stay up late. Nine, ten, Never sleep again.👀🎵🎶🤭🎶🎵😱 1w

TheSpineView I scored 141/187 which put me at 75%. I probably have an unfair advantage because I was in college in the 80s and worked part time as a customer service representative at a cable company. One of the perks was free cable including HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc. So I watched a lot of movies. 1w

CBee @dabbe I know that one almost by heart - a two scary ass women show perhaps? 😂😂 1w

CBee @dabbe I dunno cause I was too scaredy to watch them 😱 1w

CBee @TheBookHippie NOPE NOPE NOPE 😨😱😂 1w

thebacklistbook 39% possibly higher certain titles or posters were unfamiliar but may well be things I saw. 1w

InkedBookworm13 133 out of 187 so 71% not too bad lol 1w

jenniferw88 4%, but not surprised as I'm a '90's child! 1w

bthegood 70% - although some I may have watched after the 80s - many I have heard so much about and realized I still had not watched (Sophies Choice comes to mind) - thanks for sharing this - it was fun to revisit the 80s!! 1w

Eggs 64%, 120 of 187. My 1980s was filled with pregnancy and babies. (edited) 1w

dabbe @thegirlwiththelibrarybag That website is a hoot! I admit I spent way too much time there taking all kinds of listy-surveys! 🤩😂🤗 1w

dabbe @TheBookHippie 😂😂😂 To this day I STILL check under my bed thanks to the scene where Kevin Bacon got knifed from under the bed! 😱 1w

dabbe @TheSpineView That is not unfair at all! You worked for it, m'dear! I'm going to be on 80s movie overload for a while! 🤩😂🤗 1w

dabbe @CBee Don't know about yours, but it would be scary to see me shaking my ass during some of those songs! 😂🤩🤗 1w

dabbe @CBee I did rewatch FRIDAY over Halloween, and I actually laughed and saw it as more of a 60s-Roger-Corman-type horror flick. 🤩😱😘 1w

dabbe @thebacklistbook Not bad! 🤩🤗😘 1w

dabbe @InkedBookworm13 You beat my ass! 🤩😂🤗 1w

dabbe @jenniferw88 Well, you've got a lot of great 80s movies waiting for you! Just like I would for the 90s! 🤩🤗😘 1w

dabbe @bthegood It was a fun list to put together! And now I have a TBW List (To Be Watched!) 🤩😂🤗 1w

dabbe @Eggs Mine wasn't, and I barely edged you out! 🤩😂🤗 1w

Eggs @dabbe Fun stuff 🫶🏻🤗😍 1w

dabbe @Eggs 😂🤩😘 1w

CBee @dabbe but we‘d have oh so much fun 😊😊😊 1w

dabbe @CBee #yesindeedywewould 🤩😂🤗 1w

TheLudicReader I did a little better on this one with a score of 136. 1d

Had my ultrasound breast biopsy on Monday; should know something by the end of the week. 🤞

Oh, and you'll love this, Misty. After seeing the dentist for a new crown (luckily not a root canal), another crown broke, so I get to go in tomorrow and deal with that. As my doctor would say, it's a good thing you're body's letting you know you're alive. 😂
