One Hundred Years of Solitude | Gabriel Garcia Marquez
post image

🩵 One of my top 5 favorites of all time: One Hundred Years of Solitude
🩵 The one on my tbr I most want to read (though my answer could change tomorrow): Cold Comfort Farm
🩵 A confession: I haven't read any Terry Pratchett or Jacqueline Wilson (thus my poor scores 🤣). I just never got around to them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I did better than last week, but man, what a quirky list! If anyone has ideas for future lists re: books, movies, or music, I am all ears! 🤣

The books I chose this week are ones that have been on my TBR f-o-r-e-v-e-r! Please give me some votes as to which one I should move up the list!

PS Do I get extra credit for reading THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO in French? Shout out to Mme. Quihuis, my HS French teacher! 😍

AmyG A Prayer for Owen Meany is one of my most favorite books ever. 2h
BkClubCare Extra Credit!! 🌟 oui!! 2h
dabbe @AmyG Is it a series? 2h
dabbe @BkClubCare Merci beaucoup! 🇫🇷 2h

I‘ve read 45% of this month‘s list- possibly more because there were some I wasn‘t sure about. Favorites:
1) The Woman In White
2) Thorn Birds
3) Gatsby

My daughter is reading Lord of the Flies in school now and doesn‘t have good things to say 🤣

@dabbe #TLT #ThreeListThursday

ChaoticMissAdventures Lord of the Flies is tough, I cannot believe they are still teaching it!! There are so many better books out there. I still need to read Woman In White.... it's on that forever long TBR. 5h
Bookwormjillk @ChaoticMissAdventures Right? Middle School is tough enough without having to read Lord of the Flies. 5h
dabbe Wow! She's reading it in middle school? It's on our district list for sophomores. That was a hard one to read and teach. Can you believe I have yet to read THE THORN BIRDS? 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3h

BarkingMadRead I‘ve read 49! 8h
dabbe @BarkingMadRead #yahooyou!!! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 8h
Soubhiville Terry Pratchett should be popular everywhere! He‘s a favorite of mine. 7h
See All 40 Comments
Soubhiville I‘ve read 47, and I‘d say my favorites are LOTR, Terry Pratchett‘s, and Watership Down. 7h
dabbe @Soubhiville Good to know! I didn't get around to reading him for #AuthorAMonth, but he is now on my major radar thanks to you! 💙🩵💙 7h
dabbe @Soubhiville #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 7h
CogsOfEncouragement 43 for this one. So many good ones too. Some I‘ve enjoyed more than once. 7h
CSeydel I got 47. My favorites are probably Rebecca, A Christmas Carol, and Wind in the Willows 7h
CSeydel But Terry Pratchett‘s books are excellent also! He has a way of combining wordplay, satire and fantasy to hilarious effect (edited) 7h
TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 😘💛🏷 7h

julesG Thanks to Pratchett my tally comes up to 27. 😁 6h
peaKnit Thank you for the tag! Only 23 for me 🤦🏼‍♀️ I 6h
dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 6h
Amiable Again with the Pratchett! 😬 Mine was 39 this week. “A Prayer for Owen Meany” is my favorite book. But I also loved “A Suitable Boy” and “A Town Called Alice.” 6h
dabbe @julesG He must be one of the best writers ever! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 6h
dabbe @peaKnit No palm slapping allowed! 😘 I have a feeling my score will be right there in with yours. I don't think I read any from 50-100! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 6h
dabbe @Amiable All 3 I haven't read but are on the TBR, thanks to you! I agree about Pratchett. I am totally missing something! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing! 💜💜💜 6h
peaKnit Thank you!! I‘d have been in bigger trouble had Harry Potter not rescued me lol! Many on my TBR all the same:) 6h
Amor4Libros 13! 😅 Harry Potter helped me get to double digits 🤣 6h
Lesliereadsalot I read 36 thanks to taking two semesters of Russian novels in college, along with both 18th and 19th century British novels. I did love those Russian novels, long as they were! 5h
TheLudicReader 30. How can I even call myself a reader? 5h
BooksandCoffee4Me @TheLudicReader I feel the same way with 39! I‘m going to rationalize that as an English teacher, I had to read several of these repeatedly which left me with too little reading energy for the others. 😊 5h
Lynnsoprano 25 🙄 Mostly the English classics. I‘m hanging my head 4h
Librarybelle 31 for me. There are a few I am in the middle of, but still, ouch! 3h
dabbe @peaKnit I love how they linked the HP books separately here but only as one book (series) on the American Great Read. More bang for your buck on this list! 🤩 3h
dabbe @Amor4Libros Yay for HP! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3h
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot I bow to your wow. I could NEVER had survived two semesters of Russian novels! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3h
dabbe @TheLudicReader No talk like that, missy! 😘 You are the queen of contemporary literature, and there weren't so many of those on this list. And again, who puts MATILDA alongside WAR AND PEACE? Totally weird list! I bet I score right around where you did. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3h
dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me 🎯🩵🎯 Usually in my years of teaching English, I was lucky to read 15-20 completely new books all year! I'd constantly have to reread the ones I taught because I had to be ready for those smart kids who would ask me persnickety questions! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3h
CSeydel It‘s a very odd list! 3h
dabbe @Lynnsoprano No hanging your lovely head! 😘 I know I'll score around the same! We just have more books for our TBR. Except I don't think I'll add all 30+ Pratchetts and Wilsons! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3h
dabbe @Librarybelle I'll be ouchie right there with you! It's a quirky list, to say the least! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 3h
dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 2h
rwmg 59 including those started but not finished (looking at you Gabriel García Márquez) and some I know I've read but cannot remember anything beyond the title. 2h
dabbe @rwmg W🤩WZA! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 1h

3 favorites from this list:
-James and the Giant Peach 🍑🐛🐞🪱🕷️
-The Color Purple 💜
- It 🤡 😱

dabbe Same here! I couldn't believe how many times those two were on the list! You still kicked my butt, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 4d

12 of 100. Not being a Terry Pratchett reader considerably lowered my score. 😆
