Happy TT! Mine’s up: I went Visual Arty this week with 13 of my favorite paintings.
I’ll have to check some of these out.
My 13 are up.
Great list!
I loved To Kill a Mockingbird, and recently read #1 Ladies… and have gone on to the rest in the series.
Great idea for a TT. There’s a few I’m adding to my list and several that I totally agree with your rating.
several of those classics are great reads. i enjoyed mockingbird, heart of darkness, and silas also
happy TT
The Alchemist is something I would like to get my hands on. I already have over 12 books on my to-be-read list this year. I’ll get to it though.
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT’ing!

Snow Flower is on my list too.
Mine is tv shows I enjoy, feels like a cop-out list, but it’s all I had the brainpower for last night.
Great list of book. I didn’t like “To Kill a Mockingbird” but that’s probably because I had to read it in grade 9 and we analyzed it to death.
Happy T13.
I love book T13

Wasn’t Snowflower wonderful?
I did a bookish TT this week two…and you and I overlapped with one of the books on our list.
I read lots of those books in my younger days and loved them. Perhaps one day I’ll read a few again
I’m lucky that most of the book I read would score at least a 4 on my good list!!
The only book on your list I read is to Kill a Mockingbird(in an english class!!)
Great list (well, I would disagree with HOD – I much prefer Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart). I haven’t heard of some on your list, I’ll have to look into them!
