5⭐️ I loved this gem of a novel. Three stories woven together and I can‘t decide which I liked more. Part mystery, part character development and part coming of age(s). I could feel the cold air on my skin and smell the lake. 🇨🇦

I guess that wraps up my #WeeklyFavorites for March. It's been a pretty good reading month, but moving into April, I feel like I need a refresh of how I approach reading. I've been using audiobooks as a replacement for putting my hands over my ears, and I would rather move *towards* books rather than *away* from reality. So we'll see if I can find a little more balance as we move into spring.

#Read2025

I finished this one last night for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 & it‘s a soft pick for nostalgia for the author. I found it too long & disjointed with it being separate stories really rather than cohesive chapters. It could be because I waited for the end of the month & was hurrying a bit but I had a hard time keeping track of all of the family & other characters. It did have some charming moments though.

TheBookHippie It is not my favorite of hers but like you some of the passages I really enjoyed! 6d
LeahBergen It‘s not a favourite of mine either but … you‘re right. Any LMM is usually good for a hit of nostalgia, isn‘t it? 😊 5d

Another charming read! I enjoyed getting to know more of the world of Ingleside and Anne's presence was still felt throughout. What surprised me was how late in time this was set - I always imagined the Anne of Green Gables series to be set in the 1800s, but there were a lot of references to historical events from the early 1900s. It makes sense, but still surprised me! Just one book left and I'm done this series. (Pictured with my next read)

Street of Riches | Gabrielle Roy

Street of Riches, by Gabrielle Roy (1955, trans. 1957 🇨🇦)

Premise: A series of stories about the author‘s childhood in Manitoba‘s francophone community.

Review: This was a marvelous surprise. These stories — seventy years old themselves, but recounting events of thirty years earlier — strike a perfect balance: You feel the foreignness of this version of Canada from a century ago, while also seeing the seeds for the country we‘ve become. Cont.

Mattsbookaday But it‘s the little common touches of universal humanity that I‘ll remember most about this tender and beautiful, deserved Canadian classic.

Bookish Pair:This would be an interesting pairing with a more contemporary collection, such as Bernardine Evaristo‘s Girl Woman Other (2019).

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Tonight‘s #HyggeHour is being spent with Marigold. Trying to finish this one for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 March. My drink is coconut tea & my snack is a haupia (coconut) cupcake. (Which is yum!) 😋

My mood is a little tired & wishing the weekend was longer as it will be another busy work week ahead.
