Our September #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead will be Magic Island by Elizabeth Waterston. The book discusses all of LMM's novels, plus Chronicles/Further Chronicles of Avonlea. Since it examines one book per chapter, we'll discuss in a chapter-a-day format, with Sundays off for catch-up days. Above is the daily schedule, from Sept. 1-26. I've tagged those who were interested, but all are welcome - please comment if you want to be added to the tag list!
julieclair I finally managed to find a copy! Good old eBay, lol. Looking forward to this one. 😀 9mo
TheAromaofBooks I am so excited about reading this one!! Although I have a feeling it's going to make me want to reread all the novels 😂 Maybe next time around we should do them in published order?? 9mo
BarbaraJean @julieclair Yay! I found mine on AbeBooks—no library copies to be had! @TheAromaofBooks “Next time around”—😆 I have to admit that after we finish out the rest of the LMM-adjacent books scheduled, I HAVE thought about going back through for another re-read!! I‘d also thought about doing a buddy read of the journals, but I don‘t think I can handle that right now. I‘m curious, but not a sadist 😂 9mo

rubyslippersreads @BarbaraJean I‘d be interested in a buddy read of the Journals. I‘ve read Volume I of the originals, but none of the rest, and none of the revised ones that came out later. 9mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m looking forward to this, especially the Emily chapters. 9mo
BarbaraJean @rubyslippersreads Our current list of books for this buddy read takes us to February... maybe we can see how people feel at that point about reading the journals. I'm definitely interested in reading them at some point. There are the “Selected Journals“ (5 volumes) and the “Complete Journals,“ which as far as I can tell only go up to 1933 (7 volumes so far). I'd be interested in either. 9mo
