#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

What a topic near and dear to our hearts. The books I chose are all ones I have proudly taught as a middle and high school English teacher.

I have hope that if we keep fighting the good fight that sanity will eventually prevail. And I've discovered that I have a lot of challenged books to still read! My TBR has just grown, well, bigger!

And if you look closely, you'll see why WHERE'S WALDO made the list! 🤩

Jjaxn95 I didn‘t know Speak was on the list as a banned book. That was one of my favorite books as a teenager and one I recall as being dear to me at that time. I would categorize it as a lifetime favorite of mine. 1w

dabbe @Jjaxn95 So would I. The writing was just gorgeous. Have you seen the movie with a young Kristen Stewart as Melinda? It\'s excellent, too. 🧡🤎💛 1w
kspenmoll I love your idea of presenting the books you taught! 1w
dabbe @kspenmoll It\'s what I miss most about teaching! What do I miss the least? #parents #sorrynotsorry 🤩😂🤗 1w

#200PnPcovers @CrowCAH @mabell Let‘s see if I can catch up on what were supposed to be daily posts…when #parents were raising gentle ladies, they were accomplished if they could play #music. Another acceptable past time was reading #novels - but not too much and nothing too intellectual! In The Other Bennet Sister Mary much prefers “smart” books and her mother, who reads novels, disapproves.

CrowCAH Woohoo, three down in one post! 👍🏻😁 3y
mabell Love your collage! 3y

All the #parents (or at least Mrs. Bennet) in #Pride & #Prejudice want is for their daughters to receive #proposals from #rich men.

My favorite story from this book! And it covers a few prompts 😉

Jane was helping to nurse her brother through a nasty illness when one of his doctors, who also attended the Prince Regent [ruling in place of his #parents] realised that Jane was the author of #Pride and Prejudice. One day he told Jane that the Prince ‘often‘ read her #novels and ‘kept a set in every one of his residences.‘ Accordingly he informed the Prince she was in London. ⬇️

mabell His Royal Highness asked the librarian of Carlton House, James Stanier Clarke, to call on her. Clarke duly appeared the next day and invited Jane to Carlton House, so that he could show her ‘the library and other apartments, and pay her every possible attention.‘ Although Jane disapproved of the Prince Regent‘s immoral lifestyle [in spite of her #prejudice], she felt unable to turn down this high honour [#proposal]. 3y
mabell During her visit, Clarke declared that the Prince had given her permission to dedicate her next novel (Emma) to him, and upon publication Austen‘s publisher, John Murray, sent the Prince a handsome copy of Emma for his library. #200PnPcovers 3y
LeahBergen Whenever I open Emma and see that dedication I think how she was “bullied” into it. 😆 3y
CrowCAH I agree @LeahBergen . But I guess it‘s not bad to have the Prince Regent as a sponsor! 3y
mabell @LeahBergen @CrowCAH Not exactly a glowing dedication 😆😂 3y

Day 21. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, raising five single daughters in the Regency era. I‘m sure they did their best.

Day 21: #Parents

Silhouette portraits of Jane Austen‘s parents.

Can I just say that I‘m happy these are no longer in vogue? I wouldn‘t relish my own beaky nose and weak chin handed down for posterity. 🤣🤣

RaeLovesToRead Oh god, me too, my silhouette would be dreadful 🤣🤣 I spend a lot of effort trying not to be looked at from the side, haha 3y

DivineDiana Agree! 😂 3y
AWahle I remember doing these in elementary school but mom must have thrown them out. The teacher traced each student‘s silhouette using a projector and then we had to cut them & glue them on card stock. 3y
CrowCAH Same. Could I have a 45 degree angle instead?! Lol 3y
LeahBergen @RaeLovesToRead @CrowCAH Exactly! I dash around and angle myself for group photos. 🤣🤣 3y
LeahBergen @merelybookish Gah, don‘t remind me of my waddle! 🤣 3y
LeahBergen @AWahle That‘s so cool! I remember that they used to do them at some small fairs when I was a kid. 3y
