PurpleyPumpkin I am a HUGE Santa fan, but apparently I need to learn more about him. I got 40%!😅 I learned a few things, the most impressive being that Canada gave Santa official citizenship in 2008! If I knew this at some point, I completely forgot. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thanks for this fun post @dabbe! 12h
eeclayton I got 40% 🎅 I didn't know Odin had been an inspiration for Santa (and there were other things too that I didn't know 😂) 12h

Bookwomble 40% also 😊 10h
MemoirsForMe @dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin I thought I was a huge fan of Santa, but I don‘t know him very well. Only 30%. 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ 9h
PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe Right?!? I was a little surprised by my results. 🙃 9h
TheLudicReader 50% 🤶 8h

rwmg 50% and I'm not even American

But I didn't like the quiz format. It moved on to the next question far too quickly so that when I got something wrong I didn't have a chance to see the right answer before it changed.

eeclayton Thanks for the tag. I got 40% but some of my answers were only lucky guesses. 2w

#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

Sorry this is a little late. These books are the result of an earlier #tlt from you, Littens, as to what are the best books to read at Halloween.
Share your score (if you want). List 3 faves/3 hates/3 you thought should have been here/3 whatever-you-wants. Tagging a few. ALL are more than welcome to play! 👻🎃💀

Survey: https://www.listchallenges.com/litsy-halloween-reads

AnnCrystal 🥳 Thanks for the tag 📚👻💝. 1mo
Amiable Only 16 for me —and most of those are Stephen King that I read in my ‘20s. I‘m not much of fan of scary books or movies. 1mo
dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🧡💜💛 1mo

dabbe @Amiable I love mysteries and detective fiction, and even the occasional horror, but some of these look 😱! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @Amiable I love mysteries and detective fiction, and even the occasional horror, but some of these look 😱! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
Bookish_Thoughts 7%. 😱🤣 What should have been there? The Indian Lake Trilogy, The Only Good Indian, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter-all by Stephen Graham Jones. Thanks for the tag! (edited) 1mo
PurpleyPumpkin What an interesting list! I only got 10 but that‘s actually higher than I thought I‘d get. 😅 I‘m more of a cozy mystery fan, although some of these books piqued my interest! Thanks for the tag, that was fun!😊 1mo
Cuilin I‘ve only read 5!!! Not my genre. My mystery interest slants more cozy. 1mo
rwmg I only got 9. I read some Stephen King in the 1970s and 1980s but I forget the titles now apart from Carrie, which is the first one I read., so I might be able to add one or two. 1mo
thebacklistbook I've read 5, three of which are: The Summoning, If We Were Villains, and Frankenstein 1mo
LiseWorks I only got 9, I don't read them as much as I watched the movies lol all Steven King were movies, not the books. I don't really like his books. Way too long. 1mo
AnnCrystal 🤔...I'd have a higher score if this was about books on my TBR lists 😅...😉👍🏼📚💝📚. 1mo
AnnCrystal @Bookish_Thoughts I so badly wanted to read the The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, but I am a coward about too many gory scenes...I can sometimes jump over some scenes, but I read that this was horrific. Is this truly gory?? 1mo
Bklover I got 30. A couple more I bailed on. I love this stuff- started reading Stephen King way back in 1978 and just never stopped. I do have an advantage of being older than dirt. 🫤😧 1mo
Susanita I got 10…which is higher than I expected! 1mo
dabbe @Bookish_Thoughts An interesting trilogy to take a look at! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin I'm with you! I prefer comfy detective stories the most,, and some of these looked really 😱! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @Cuilin Same here, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @rwmg Not much of my genre either ... only at this time of year! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @thebacklistbook I hope you enjoyed those. I adore FRANKENSTEIN. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @LiseWorks He can really get into the details, can't he? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @AnnCrystal Ditto, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @Bklover Right there with ya! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @Susanita #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
Sparklemn 12 for me. Favorite is Mexican Gothic. Hated Gone Girl. 😖 1mo
Dilara Thank you for tagging me. I did worse than most and got 5% because I haven't read any of the non-classics. I would have got more if The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Turn of the Screw, The Canterville Ghost had been included 😁
Some of the titles are in my wishlist: The Historian, Mexican Gothic, and Our Share of Night
I can recommend Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel & The Ghost Rider by Ismail Kadaré
1mo
eeclayton Thanks for the tag! 8 points. Scary books are not my cup of tea, even though I love some of the classics, such as Dracula. I also love the Highsmith books on the list, but I don't associate them with Halloween. 1mo
Librarybelle I got 10…there are many on my tbr. Loved Mexican Gothic, Gone Girl, and Rebecca, not to mention Frankenstein and Dracula. 1mo
Bookwormjillk 16 for me. A lot of these are new to me but I have read all of the Stephen King and Patricia Highsmith. 1mo
KT1432 I got 6. I am ashamed. I must make my own post about this lol!! 1mo
MaGoose I'm not much of a reader in the horror genre, so only 2 for me. But there are 2 or 3 on the list that I want to read. 1mo
ElizaMarie I only did 23% I am super shocked. I mean. I like horror type books. But I think I might gravitate more to thrillers, so maybe that's why my score is so low. But --- you did post a bunch that I am interested in reading, so thanks for that! 1mo
melissajayne I got 8 1mo
dabbe @Sparklemn Ooh, taking GG off the TBR. Thanks! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @Dilara Great recs! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @eeclayton I think some people chose based on reading a scary book at this time of year per se. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @Librarybelle Fab choices. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk Most were new to me, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @KT1432 No being ashamed! This is all in good fun, right? Right? 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @MaGoose I found quite a few that I'd like to read, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @ElizaMarie I think this list came from all areas: from mystery all the way to horror ... hence the “okay“ scores since most of us gravitate towards once specific area in this genre perhaps. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
dabbe @melissajayne Not bad! Most of us are around 7-15. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
kspenmoll I only read 9. 1mo
dabbe @kspenmoll You and I were quite close in our scores. Most of these I haven't even heard of! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💛💜🧡 1mo
CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve read 8. I recommend The Talented Mr. Ripley series, Strangers On A Train, and Rebecca. 1mo
dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Fab choices! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo
nanuska_153 I read a generous 5, you can tell it's not my genre cause some of the ones I marked as "read" I actually bailed on ? so much for being an eclectic reader. Love Rebecca though ❤️ 1mo
dabbe @nanuska_153 #ditto 💛💜🧡 1mo
DrSabrinaMoldenReads Yep! Only 3! You can tell these are not my kinda books. Two of the ones I read I did not like especially “Gone Girl”. Thanks for sharing ! 1mo
dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads A few people said that about GONE GIRL; I was happy to take it off the TBR. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💛💜🧡 1mo

#threelistthursday #tlt @dabbe

My best score ever! Though I made up the survey (with help from other listers, so there is that). The three I've never done and will probably never do:
1. hot-air ballooning: Nope.
2. knitting: I can crochet a little bit, but that's it.
3. running in a race: #hahahahahahahahaha

Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/litsy-autumn-experiences

AmyG Wow great score. 2mo
melissajayne awesome score; got 28 myself. 2mo
Amiable Same re: running anywhere for any reason (ha ha…only if I‘m being chased by zombies) and knitting (my Nana taught me to crochet instead). I have been up in a hot-air balloon, though. 2mo

dabbe @Amiable IKR? Those days of having to run in PE are OVER!!! And kudos to you for going up in a balloon. I don't think I'd ever have the nerve! 😂 2mo
Susanita No balloon rides for me either! I did knit a few janky potholders though. 2mo
Singout 57! Some were a bit iffy. I, too, have never run in a race or done, hot air ballooning, although I would love to do the latter. I had a chance in university, but gave up my spot to a friend. 2mo

Continuing the fun from last week, here is a survey of autumn experiences.

Share your score (if you want). List 3 faves/3 hates/3 you thought should have been here/3 whatever-you-wants. Tagging a few. ALL are more than welcome to play! I have a feeling we're going to see some fabulous scores! 🧡🍁💛

Link: https://www.listchallenges.com/litsy-autumn-experiences

Bookwomble 53% - so-so 😏🍂 2mo
RaeLovesToRead 64% but you are not getting me in a hot air balloon haha. That's how Enduring Love started 😆 2mo
Amiable 90%! (Just don‘t care for pumpkin-flavored food or drinks. 😖) But I live in New England and nobody does autumn better than we do! 😀 (edited) 2mo
See All 31 Comments
ShananigansReads Finally a list I‘ve done well on 80%!!!! 2mo
nanuska_153 66% I love this season, the leaves, the colours, the coziness 🥰 2mo
TheAromaofBooks 83% - I'm big into fall, but not into scary 😂 2mo
Librarybelle I got 49%, much lower than I thought. Oh well! 2mo
Mollyanna 81% - I love fall! The warm drinks, cozy fires, comfort food… 2mo
IriDas I got 83%, but you missed the most important one—the World Series. :) 2mo
ravenlee I got 66%! It‘s hard to enjoy fall stuff when it‘s still 90 degrees well into October here, and I miss all the apple picking and stuff from our few years in Nebraska. 2mo
GingerAntics Wow, I got 7%… and an exciting twist, it‘s only going to get up to 75 here today… so getting closer to jeans and sweatshirts/sweaters. 2mo
dabbe @Bookwomble Not too shabby! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo
dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Same here! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle That ain't too shabby, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo
dabbe @IriDas Perhaps because I'm a D-Backs fan. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo
dabbe @PathfinderNicole #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo
dabbe @ravenlee Agree 💯. It's going to be over 100º again today here. I think that's why I'm in hyper-mode with fall; I want the weather to change so badly! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo
dabbe @GingerAntics I'm surprised! And yay for a cooler temp! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo
Catsandbooks 84% I really miss living in MI in the fall. It's not the same living in MS ☹️ 2mo
dabbe @Catsandbooks Boy, I can just imagine! That's why Matt and I go up north into the pines for a few days in October--just to see the leaves change and actually experience real autumn temps. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 2mo
Bookwormjillk 94% although I think it was summer when I went up in the hot air balloon. I love all things fall but after 2020 I don‘t think I would ever bob for apples again. I‘ve never TPed anything. My mom would have killed me for wasting that much perfectly good toilet paper 🤣 2mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk I'd never have the nerve to go in a balloon! And I only tp-ed in the 80s ... the Reagan years. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2mo
ElizaMarie 60 of 70 · 86% - I haven't been in a hot air balloon (the two times I had it planned, weather screwed me). I have never been apple picking either (not sure if it's the whole family of Migrant workers thing that makes me not find this appealing), haven't jumped in leave, but have kicked them? I didn't experience leaves until my late 30s. South TX Fall is so much different than my now VT Fall. 2mo
eeclayton I scored 12. This quiz me brought back the memory of my uncle's pumpkin field and how the family used to come together in the harvest season to help remove the seeds (they would sell the seeds) and tell stories and enjoy the company. Good times 🙂 2mo
dabbe @ElizaMarie I bet the autumns are completely different! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 2mo
dabbe @eeclayton What a wonderful memory! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 2mo
