The Halloween Tree | Ray Bradbury

pick

A timeless, imaginative tale that blends elements of fantasy, history, and coming-of-age storytelling. Bradbury's prose is lyrical and evocative, immersing readers in the eerie, magical atmosphere of Halloween. His love for the holiday is palpable, and the novel serves as both a celebration and an exploration of its deeper meanings. Categorized as a YA book, its exploration of mortality should resonate with older audiences as well.

The Haunting of Hill House | Shirley Jackson

#threelistthursday #tlt

24/100: four better than last week. 😂 Some of these made me cringe just by looking at the cover (talking to you, LORD JIM)!

Three faves:
JANE EYRE: in my top 5 of all time.
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE: best ghost story ever written.
THE GREAT GATSBY: loved this since I first read it in high school--I still have my original book with all of my notes inside.

dabbe @PuddleJumper AP stands for Advanced Placement, and it's usually a senior course in high school where, if a student takes the 4-5 hour literature exam at the end of the year (multiple-choice and 3-4 essays), she/he/they can receive college credit and not have to take English 101 or 102 in college. Also, if a student receives an “A“ in the class, it counts as a 5.0 re: gpa, not a 4.0. 9h

Bookwormjillk 20 for me. Ethan Frome and The Great Gatsby are two favorites I always think though people should wait until they‘re 30 to read them. Grapes of Wrath is another favorite. One of the few assigned readings I finished in school. Even then I loved to #HailTheBail 2h

Texreader Ive only read 9, but can‘t remember all the Shakespeare I‘ve read and I question a few others. The best books from this batch were by women: Frankenstein, Kindred, The Handmaid‘s Tale, and In the Time of the Butterflies. 2h

Texreader @dabbe Oh I was wondering! I‘m too old for all that “Advanced Placement” test stuff! 😉 We had a special English class for a few seniors who wanted advanced reading. And it was great. But that‘s all it was. 2h

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Agree 💯. These books I feel are sometimes wasted on the high school kids who need to live more and suffer more to truly appreciate them. #Hailingthebail was a favorite activity of mine, too--plus reading CLIFF'S NOTES! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 27m

dabbe @Texreader Yay for women writers! Curious as to which ones you question, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 26m

dabbe @Texreader Your senior class sounds a lot more fun than the AP one! We once had a class for seniors that was called Senior Contemporary Novels, and it was fabulous. Kids reading books and discussing a la a book-club format. Now, there's no room for exploratory classes like that. A true bummer. 23m

Mastering Logical Fallacies: The Definitive Guide to Flawless Rhetoric and Bulletproof Logic | Michael Withey

The Bluest Eye | Toni Morrison

#withthebanned @Jadams89
An unforgettable novel in which Morrison tackles complex and deeply painful issues with sensitivity and skill. It is a brutal read in terms of content regarding issues of race, CSA, identity, and beauty. it‘s not a book for everyone, and the emotional toll it takes can be significant. But for those ready to wrestle with its darkness and complexity, it offers a profound and thought-provoking reading experience.

Hygge hour involved finishing HARD TIMES for #WhatTheDickens. Not the most relaxing of reads, but I had to see some beloved characters through to the end.

Hard Times | Charles Dickens

pick

#WhatTheDickens @Cuilin @Texreader
4/5 Through characters like Thomas Gradgrind and Mr. Bounderby, Dickens critiques the utilitarian philosophy that values efficiency over human emotion and compassion. He argues that such a worldview leads to a soulless, mechanical society where people are seen as a means to an end rather than individuals with inherent worth. Still, redemption is possible and does occur for those who are worthy. A heartfelt read.

Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

pick

#authoramonth @soubvihille
This is my 3rd Peter Wimsey novel (even though it's the 1st), and I can tell you that Sayers's novels get better in the series (THE NINE TAYLORS was superior to this one). Beware: the characters reflect the culture of their time, and some do express racial/anti-Semitic views. I low-pick it mostly because I adored Wimsey, whose foppish wit and slight arrogance reminded me of Percy Blakeney (aka The Scarlet Pimpernel).

CogsOfEncouragement I adore Harriet in this series. 4d

Double Wedding (Pam & Penny Howard, #4) | Rosamond Du Jardin

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

I first read these books by Rosamond du Jardin back in middle school in the 70s. They are all about teen romance in the 50s and 60s--when you went to the malt shop after school, came home, and Mom had milk and cookies waiting for you while you sat at the kitchen table looking out of the window with the chintz curtains. Absolute nostalgia overload.

'Salem's Lot | Stephen King

“ 'SALEM'S LOT has to do with my own disillusionment and consequent fear for the future. In a way, it is more closely related to INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS than it is to DRACULA. The fear behind 'SALEM'S LOT seems to be that the Government has invaded everybody“ (King).

A writer who can take the time to get me to care about the characters and then horrifically dispose of some of them is a truly gifted writer indeed. He is THE KING.

1. After what was to me one of the worst days in American history this past Monday, the sun did come out the next day. And the next... If you want to hear the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard in my entire life, here's the link:

New Survey: AP Literature Free Response Titles List #1 (1970-2024)
I really needed a list to take me totally away from the crapola of this week in the USA.
1. Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/litsy-ap-literature-free-response-titles-list-1
2. Share your score if you'd like.
3. Share your 3 favorites from the list or 3 that you might be interested in reading or a combo or whatever you'd like.
4. Tag a few!

DebinHawaii, Maria_Pulver, Kappadeemom, iread2much, Cuilin, AmyG, kspenmoll, TheBookHippie, BookNAround, catiewithac, TheLudicReader, jenniferw88, Deblovestoread, Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks, Sace, Kar2b, BookwormAHN, Sleepswithbooks, WorldsOkayestStepMom, TheBookgeekFrau, jdiehr, TheSpineView, Beatlefan129, ShelleyBooksie, Blerdgal_Fenix, LA1, Patchshank, Cupcake12, cinda.marie, PageShifter, LiseWorks, KadaGul

dabbe I'll post my faves later, but for the record: I've only read 20 from this list. So many ones I still want to read! 🤩 1w

Texreader That was fun. I‘ve read 11 and probably a few more, but I just can‘t remember. Easily my favorite was Dracula. 1w

Bookwormjillk I‘ve read 19 I think, but high school was a long time ago so I‘m not 100% which Shakespeare plays I read and which I just saw. Loved Dracula and Cry, The Beloved Country blew me away when I read it in school. 1w

See All 57 Comments

thebacklistbook 12. Mostly read for lit classes. 1w

rwmg 21

I'm guessing this is a school reading list but I don't really know what AP classes are or what to expect from them. 1w

LiseWorks I read only 8, but that's because I'm a Canadian, and our schools and universities have different books. Like where was most of Shakespeare stuff like Romeo and Juliette. 1w

bthegood ❤️💙❤️ (edited) 1w

PurpleyPumpkin I read 16 on this list and have many others on my tbr shelf. Many of these reads were from when I went to university. But I‘d like to get back to some of these. Thanks for posting!👍🏽 1w

BookNAround I‘ve read 46 but I do have 2 English degrees and did take AP English way back in the day. I have quite a few of the newer (post my long ago schooling) books on my shelves tbr. Also, I have read other books by a bunch of the authors but not necessarily their works on the list. (edited) 1w

Kar2b Only 6 for me. I haven‘t read All the Light We Cannot See yet, but I own it, so that‘ll take me to 7. 🤪 1w

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 😍 1w

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! 1w

dabbe @Texreader Yes to DRACULA, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Still can't believe I've never read CRY. On the TBR! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @thebacklistbook Same here. Or ones I had to teach! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @rwmg AP stands for Advanced Placement, and it is a literature course where if seniors can pass the AP literature exam (where these titles come from), they don't have to take English 101/102 in college. These are titles that the College Board (the ones who created all AP courses) deems are “works of literary merit.“ Obviously, that thought is up for debate. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @LiseWorks Excellent point. Most titles are British and American, which is why those two subjects are taught in a lot of American high school courses. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @bthegood 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin YW! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @Kar2b I own it, too, and have yet to read it! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😘 1w

dabbe @Deblovestoread YW! 😘 1w

BkClubCare I checked 31 but not that many were from HS but the past decade plus when I wanted to read more classics 🌟 Always fun to look at book lists 😂 1w

dabbe @BkClubCare I love book lists! It just makes the ol' TBR grow to infinity and beyond! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

LA1 Thanks for the tag! I‘m ranked #210, having read only 5 of the books. 😊 1w

dabbe @LA1 I sure found quite a few to add to my TBR; how about you? 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 1w

bibliothecarivs I don't read a lot of fiction so I've only read 4. But Don Quixote, Elmet, and Dancing at Lughnasa are on my to-read list. 1w

dabbe @bibliothecarivs What type of nonfiction do you like? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵🩶🩵 1w

TheLudicReader 17…not a great result. Lots of unfamiliar titles, too. 1w

peaKnit Oof 9% 1w

bibliothecarivs @dabbe I'm a nonfiction librarian and have wide interests but I usually read history, biography, autobiography, literary studies, cultural analysis, poetry, religion, nature & travel writing, and books about my favouite music, visual art, and films, with some politics, philosophy, science, and folklore sprinkled in. 1w

dabbe @TheLudicReader Same here. Mostly American and British authors, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵🩶🩵 1w

dabbe @peaKnit You're in good company! 😂 Any you want to add to your never-ending TBR? 🩵🩶🩵 1w

dabbe @bibliothecarivs And I am #gobsmacked! 🤩 I would love to read more nonfiction, especially in history. Do you have anything to recommend for Tudor or 19th century British History or Colonial/Early American history? 1w

KadaGul Thank you 🫶 for the tag 🏷️. #Hello2025 🍀💜🌅💙 1w

Patchshank Thanks for the tag. I scored an 8 😂 1w

WorldsOkayestStepMom Thanks for the tag! I have read 14 of them. 1w

azulaco I scored 33. And actually I‘m embarrassed, because lots of these titles have been on my infinite TBR list for YEARS, so I should have read more of them. I did have a good high school and college education. A lot of the ones I read were assigned in class, or caught my interest after a related class discussion. I must admit that a couple, I‘ve only read excerpts of, so I kind of cheated. 7d

bibliothecarivs @dabbe yes! The Five by Rubenhold and the English Reformation by Jones. Currently enjoying Tomalin's biography of Thomas Hardy (b. 1840). If you're willing to go a little outside of the Tudor period, Dan Jones's books Summer of Blood and The Plantagenets are excellent. 7d

dabbe @bibliothecarivs I will look into all of these! Thank you so much for your help and expertise! 🤗 6d

dabbe @bibliothecarivs Ooh, I love JtheR stuff! 🤩 6d

DGRachel I managed a whopping 7. 😂 There were several others that I tried to read and bailed (glaring at Crime & Punishment) and a little sad at the number of authors I‘ve read, but haven‘t read the “right” book. I‘ve read a lot of Dickens and Cormac McCarthy, for instance. 😮‍💨 But also, I have to recommend a different translation of Beowulf. This one is 🤩

Beowulf: A New Translation

dabbe @DGRachel This survey only went through the letters A-C, so I bet your authors and other titles will be coming! And you're in good company; most of us scored 20 or under this time around. 😂 I'll have to check out your BEOWULF suggestion; thanks! Thanks also for playing and sharing. 🩵🩶🩵 6d

DGRachel I truly hated Beowulf in high school, but Headley‘s translation was delightful (if you like modernizations). It literally had me howling with laughter. I highly recommend the audiobook. 6d

dabbe @DGRachel Now on the TBR! 🤩🩵🤩 5d

CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve read just 14 on the list. 5d

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement You're in good company; most of us scored 20 or lower! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵🩶🩵 4d

Bartleby: The Scrivener | Herman Melville

#Two4Tuesday
@TheSpineView

1. The only thing I don't like about retirement is that I couldn't do it my entire life. 😂 What I liked least about teaching was dealing with some honors' parents. “Why did Johnny only get 98/100 on his essay? Please explain in detail why you took off 2 points.“ 🙄
2. Tagged. It's not a book but a very long short story. Whenever tasked to do anything, Bartleby would answer, “I'd prefer not to.“
All are tagged.

TheSpineView Kudos to you for having to deal with the parents. Thanks for playing! 1w

The Return of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

pick

Published in 1905, this collection of short stories brings back the legendary Sherlock Holmes, whose apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls in “The Final Problem“ had left fans in despair. In most stories, Doyle manages to recapture the magic that made Holmes a global sensation in the first place; however, some of Holmes's deductions rely on fortunate or improbable circumstances, straining the suspension of disbelief for more critical readers.

eeclayton It's interesting that he doesn't only “recapture the magic“ by bringing SH back, he even gets rid of Watson's wife and career to put them both back into the Baker Street flat and recreate their original situation. 2w
