Catcher in the Rye | J D Salinger

#TLT
1. Tagged it. I loved it! I know a lot of people don‘t, but way back when it was my favorite.
2. The Little House Books. I couldn‘t wait to get to the next one.
3. The Goldfinch

Thanks again @dabbe ❤️❤️❤️
There‘s still time to participate if you haven‘t already!

annahenke The little house books is a great one! 🫶 4d
jewright What do you like about The Catcher in the Rye? I love these other two, but I loathe The Catcher in the Rye. Holden Caulfield is just so whiny. 4d
dabbe I loved teaching CATCHER, and it was a fave when I was in high school. @jewright ... I tried to tell the kids (who usually thought Holden was whiny) to see how fragile he is and that he hates that the world has moved on whereas he hasn't because he can't get over the loss of Allie. That's a reason he lashes out at everything and everybody. My humble opinion of course. 😍 3d

Bklover @jewright Well, it‘s been over 40 years (I‘m 64) since I read it, but I somehow related to Holden. Probably an indication that I‘m whiny! 😏😁 3d

This was on sale for kindle today and since I don‘t have nearly enough to read on my kindle (😳😁) I got it and read it today. Romancy historical fun. Liked the story about a strong woman although I did feel that the romance was a little hollow. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the third book in this series, and the last one available at the library, so I‘m going to have to stop here for a while. It‘s been so many years since I read this series that it‘s like new! I had forgotten that it starts off in the year 2058, so that adds a fun twist as well. The three I‘ve read have helped me enormously this month, as I‘ve had a hard time concentrating the last couple weeks. Great series, which I‘ll definitely continue.

I saw that a group here was reading this series. I read these, maybe the first 15 or so, years ago, back in the 90‘s and loved them. Thought I‘d reread the first one so I listened to this today. I love a mystery series, and this one is wonderful - takes place in the future and has a bit of romance as well as a great mystery. I may have to continue this series!

I absolutely must have a beverage in the carefully chosen mug or glass. I don‘t necessarily drink it, because I forget it‘s there, but must have it.

I love Christmas mysteries. I saw this on hoopla last night and listened to it today. (It‘s only 260 pages). If you‘re looking for a good Christmas thriller this is it. It‘s really a mystery/thriller that takes place in the five days before Christmas. A tragedy from the past is stirred up when a true crime podcaster takes a look at a crime that occurred ten years ago. I loved it!!

I read this for #authoramonth for November. I had previously read Never Let Me Go and I absolutely LOVED it. This one I had a little trouble starting- I knew it was wonderful and I was enjoying it in a peaceful kind of way. And then I found out it was Anthony Hopkins in the movie and suddenly I was emotionally invested. So I loved it, but I needed Anthony to make me love it! #AAM #November

This was my first Barbara Pym book, and I must say I enjoyed it. If you asked me what it was about, however, I‘d have to say it‘s not about much of anything. It is the story of Wilmet, a married woman in the 50‘s who has become bored with her husband and with her very undemanding life. We see her daily life unfold (I‘d be bored too) and her search for her own “glass of blessings”. Looking forward to more Pym treasures.

Well, this was interesting. I didn‘t really relate to the characters, but enjoyed the story. I know this was set in the 90‘s, but the way the women were treated seemed more 60‘s to me. Very gory, which I find oddly fascinating. Will probably read more of Grady Hendrix.

📖 Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon. I read it decades ago and it still comes to mind when I think of scary books.

📖 I am definitely in the creepy group. I tend to avoid the type where someone is pregnant with a baby that turns out to be demonic. I know that sounds oddly specific, but there are a lot of them out there!

Took this with me on vacation (Vermont) and it was the perfect book to read! Full of creepy stories that are just the right size! Loved it❤️

Bklover @KAO this one is over, but usually it will tell you what to do. This one you‘d have taken a screenshot of her post and repost it. Many times there is a question, like this one, which is what 2024 release are you looking forward to. When you repost you would answer the question, tag the person doing the giveaway, and maybe tag a couple other people. If you saw my post you‘d see that @BarbaraBB posted this one and you‘d tag her. 5mo
