tpixie @Cuilin the video was great and helpful! Thanks! @dabbe this video may help you with the Battle of Waterloo! 3mo
dabbe @Cuilin @TheBookHippie @tpixie Why is it I'm thinking of someone else who THINKS he's a Titan and is also fatal to civilization? 🤔😡👊🏻

If I got through the war scenes in WAR AND PEACE, I can get through this, right?
Thanks for the link!

#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!!! 5mo
BarkingMadRead It‘s one of those baby chunks that sneak up on you and clobber you over the head 🤣 5mo
Amiable Some colossal chunksters glide by so smoothly we hardly know we‘ve moved, and certain bitsy ones make us work like Sisyphus. 😄 5mo

dabbe @ferskner It was painful in quite a few places. 😂 5mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it's heavy enough to do some damage! 😂 5mo
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! 💪🏻 5mo
BarkingMadRead No shade for bailing last time, almost everyone did 🤣🤣🤣 5mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it was my 2nd time trying it. #oytotheultimatevey 🤩 5mo
julieclair Congrats for finishing! 🏆 I‘m still climbing uphill. But like you, I‘m determined to finish. 💪 5mo

#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. 🩶🩵🩶 5mo
TheSpineView @dabbe 🤩🌞😍 5mo
dabbe @TheSpineView And what does one think about an English teacher who can't even spell “talk“ correctly? #oytotheultimatevey 😂 5mo
TheSpineView @dabbe It's all good...😆 5mo

Penelope's so done. 😆

dabbe What she had to put up with ... #oytotheultimatevey 😂 8mo
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.“

Robotswithpersonality @dabbe I hadn't, no. That's beautiful. ♥️ 8mo

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!!! 10mo
willaful 😂 I couldn't make it through the Brothers, so I'm glad to have shared in this. 10mo
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 ) 10mo

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. 👊

#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 🩵💙🩵 11mo
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. 11mo
