Such a powerful book. I haven't read the graphic novel version yet but it's on my list

Sometimes a girl just needs to read a boy book and a good ol‘ western fits that bill. (This is not a story where the indigenous people‘s perspective is considered -so there is that). I saw this movie years back with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the part of Hugh Glass as he‘s viciously mauled by a grizzly bear. But I gotta say, reading an account of that attack might have been even more visceral.

I‘ve read and really liked David Copperfield. I expect to read Dickens‘ other books this year for #whattheDickens and I‘ll probably read Mansfield Park someday

I recently bought The Three Musketeers so I‘m looking forward to that one

Not a huge fan of the books I read in high school and college: The Scarlet Letter and Candide

4-30-25: My 31st finished book of 2025! Book 4 in the Sisterhood Series. Nikki along with her Sisterhood ladies are ready for their next mission. She has just returned from an island recuperating from a mental breakdown. She is finally talking to her ex Jack. And her mother, Myra and her boyfriend Charles are ready to send the ladies out to give the NSA a dose of his own abusing medicine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣3️⃣1️⃣

I took this as satire and it worked for me. Beguiling and dark; gruesome and funny. A weirdly fun, fast read!

I read 27 of them. Not bad I think. Definitely some favorites in there and one I despised and bailed on. My favorites were The Count of Monte Cristo, Lonesome Dove, and Rebecca. I hated The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I want to read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. #tlt #threelistThursday @dabbe

Boy, I wish I hadn't forced myself to finish this! Real no thank you hours!

I liked the first book in this series enough to buy this one and I think I liked this one more. It takes up where City Under One Roof ends and we get to spend more time with characters, especially Ellie, I liked from the first book; the narrator/voice for Ellie is the best, reminding me a bit of Mags Bennett from Justified.

I found this one in the YA graphic novel section at my library and knew it was an important read. I haven‘t read the novel and this was my first exposure to it. It‘s a story about a young boy‘s struggle after the death of his friend. Many people come to help him in the most difficult decision he‘s ever made.

Kicking it old school for today‘s #Prison prompt.

I was thinking about this book the other day. A coworker wanted me to read it with her after I moved to Hawaii. I always laugh because other coworkers wanted to join our impromptu book club but voted on the next book being Dead Until Dark (the first Sookie Stackhouse book) & then after a few of those, we read the newly released Twilight. We never made it back to the classics! 🤣
