Librarybelle I got 16, but there are so many I‘m in the middle of but did not count because I did not finish them. Some I‘ve not heard of before and others are on my to read list. 😂 3d

BarkingMadRead 27 for me (I counted two that I‘m currently reading) 3d

lil1inblue Uh oh. This era does not bode well for me... 😂 3d

See All 67 Comments

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, 22 only! Jane Austen saved me on this one. So many I‘d not heard of but look interesting! Remembered how much I loved Woman in White. Thanks for the tag @dabbe 💛 3d

CSeydel Just 11. Not bad for a STEM major, though, right? … right?? 3d

CSeydel Probably another 11 on my TBR. But most of them I hadn‘t heard of 😔 3d

Amor4Libros I got 1…Moby Dick! 🤣🤣 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Most from the 1700s, I'm like 😳! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Thank goodness for the #hashtagbrigade! We were able to count quite a few! (and I included MILL ON THE FLOSS since we will be finished soon). Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @lil1inblue 🎯🩵🎯! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me #ditto! I adored WOMAN IN WHITE! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @CSeydel R.I.G.H.T.! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 3d

dabbe @Amor4Libros And I only read “Call me Ishmael“ and called it a day! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Got 22, which is not too bad for a Lit major focusing on contemporary texts! 3d

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I think you'll kick some serious ass as we move forward in years! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵📚🩵 3d

willaful Only 20 for me! Would be a bit higher if I had participated in *all* the #HashtagBrigade reads. ;-) Nothing I especially want to read but certainly might if the brigade does them. :-) 3d

peaKnit I know face slaps are not allowed but @dabbe…I got 4 😂 thank gosh for Jane Austen. 3d

shortsarahrose I got 12, which is honestly better than I expected (thanks mostly to actually liking 19th century American lit - Melville, Hawthorne, Poe). Sorrows of Young Werther should count twice cause I read it in German 😆 (surprised that with three Goethe texts on the list, Faust wasn‘t one of them! I guess maybe because it‘s technically a play?) 3d

Bklover 18- thanks to #hashtagbrigade and Jane Austen. There are quite a few I hadn‘t even heard of! 3d

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 3d

Bookwormjillk Lucky 13. Grateful for#PemberLittens and #HashtagBrigade 🤣 3d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I definitely counted Mill on the Floss. We‘re almost done! 3d

Read4life Thanks for the tag!! 💙📚💙 3d

tpixie @Daisey 3d

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh! It is too bad they couldn't find a few more 😂 thanks for the tag! 3d

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! I‘m going to get my book out before I do the survey as my memory was much better back then. 3d

Daisey @tpixie I went through and have read 39 (including currently reading Mill on the Floss). I‘ll have to watch for these the next few weeks. 3d

dabbe @willaful The #hashtagbrigade saved my sorry ass! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @peaKnit I think the only one I read from the 1700s was GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. The others I was like 😳. 🤣 We'll get better as the list moves forward a few years!
Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @shortsarahrose Yep, I think plays don't count, though they should. And you should count it twice! I read COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO in French, and I counted it twice. I needed all the help I could get! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @Bklover IKR? 1700s was like 😳!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 3d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I did, too! 🤣 3d

dabbe @Read4life YW! 😍 3d

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣😍🤣 3d

dabbe @Deblovestoread You have this book? How cool is that? I'm thinking of getting it! 😍 3d

dabbe @Daisey You beat my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3d

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 📚😉👍🏼💝. (edited) 3d

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 3d

Lesliereadsalot Thanks for the tag but I can barely remember what I had for lunch let alone books from my far past! 🩷 3d

AnnCrystal Whispering again...👀...Zero!

I did watch many as movies, but it's been years.

1 - Carmilla. Long Time TBR book (I'm horrible, still need to read Dracula too).

Movies

2- North and South I saw one version of this many years ago and fell in love with the story

3- Orson Welles In Jane Eyre 💝💝💝.

📚💝. (edited) 3d

melissajayne 17/100 3d

rwmg 39 including 2 I DNF-ed (Clarissa and Tristam Shandy).
3d

Eggs 6 🙀🙄!!! 3d

julesG I might have read 13 books from that list. 3d

julesG @shortsarahrose I had similar thoughts about Goethe and was wondering why a few others were missing. Them being plays might be the reason. 3d

Amiable I don‘t even care about my score —the fact that I could check off “Clarissa” caused me to shout “YES!!” and pump my fist in celebration. 🎉 ☝🏼😀 3d

tpixie 12. It said the average was 18! 3d

TheLudicReader Hahahahaha. 8. 3d

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot 😍 2d

dabbe @AnnCrystal I adored OW as Rochester! That's my favorite version, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

dabbe @melissajayne Those 1700s! #oy 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

dabbe @rwmg You kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

dabbe @Eggs Thank goodness we're past the 1700s! I was like 😳 when I saw those books! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

dabbe @julesG I was all about the “might“ on this list. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

dabbe @julesG I think you're right. 🎯 2d

dabbe @Amiable Is that like the longest book in the English language? I don't think I could even attempt--nor would I want to! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

dabbe @tpixie Together we average 18.5, so we're good! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

dabbe @TheLudicReader Reading with the #hashtagbrigade and loving Austen are the only two things that gave me a few more books. 1700s? #wtf 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 2d

Amiable @dabbe It is the longest! I couldn‘t have gotten through it without the Litsy #Clarissa crew. 2d

dabbe @Amiable I barely made it through WAR AND PEACE, so I don't know if I could even fathom reading this one! Was the writing good? 2d

tpixie @dabbe I like your math! 2d

AnnCrystal @dabbe 🤩👍🏼😍🎬💝. 2d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Only 8 from these. I should check a few of these out. I don't remember much about A Modest Proposal other than a one line plot description, but I know I thought it was clever. Wild that we read it in school. I enjoy Edgar Allan Poe, so those two are probably the favorites. I've seen Emma on film and read a graphic novel. I'm counting that in my tally because I've decided that Austen novels just aren't for me. 2d

dabbe This was me looking through the ones from the 1700s: 😳😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 1d
