Repost for @Jess861

Now that we are in July, the next #OhCanada read has started - In My Own Moccasins by Helen Knott. The first time we are exploring a memoir. This is a bi-monthly read so it will go until end of August. A few discussion points will be posted at the end for those who wish to participate. All are welcome to join in this buddy read where we discover Canadian authors.

Goodness, I love Father Cassidy so much. I wish we had more of him than we get!!

How is your reading coming along this week, Kindred Spirits? What are your favorite parts in this week‘s chapters? #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread

JenlovesJT47 Thank you for reminding me!! I absolutely love this trilogy but have only read it once. Will try my hardest to get to it this week but I‘m so behind on everything. 😭 3d
JenlovesJT47 And I love Emily, she‘s so feisty. 3d
kwmg40 I love the interaction with Father Cassidy too! 3d

BarbaraJean @JenlovesJT47 I get it! No pressure, I know how busy things can get and how the self-assigned reading piles up 😆 3d
BarbaraJean @kwmg40 He's such a delight! And I wish he could be more part of Emily's life. She needs more adults like this! 3d
TheAromaofBooks Father Cassidy - finally a good adult!!

One thing that struck me this week was how much of this book is actually from Emily's first-person POV. Compared to the Anne books, where we don't get anything from Anne's direct POV (except in Windy Poplars, which hadn't been published at this point). However, this mixture of journals and narration does remind me of the format of Rilla. I really appreciate how, despite writing a story about another ⬇
2d
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) orphan girl, LMM has created a character completely different from Anne. Imaginative and creative, yes, but Emily is really just so so different from Anne in so many ways, beyond just her circumstances. Even at this young age (younger than we meet Anne) she's ambitious and goal-oriented vs Anne who did love learning and studying, but also at some level seemed to do it for the joy of learning more than because she had a specific career ⬇ 2d
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) in mind. While Emily does sometimes get in a bit of a temper, she also tends to keep things in more until she can “write it out“ vs Anne's temper flashes and chatterbox tendencies. All that to say, even though I don't really objectively like this book - it's just too sad for me to really like it - I do appreciate LMM's incredible skill in character creation. 2d

I don‘t generally advocate drinking your feelings, but tonight this lady needs a drinky drink and a comfort read.

ncsufoxes I have been having a few Surfside Vodkas & we watched an Adam Sandler movie tonight to laugh. 5d
BarbaraJean @ncsufoxes sounds like a good way to self-soothe—you have to take what comfort you can get! 5d

DNF @ ~300 pages. Snooze fest. I looked the book up on Wikipedia and that helped cement my decision to abandon it.

Now I need to (hopefully) pick out a different (better 🤞) book

Kitta @TheLudicReader ooh I‘ve never been to NB, looks amazing. 1w
ImperfectCJ I was amazed at how beautiful NB is when I drove through a few years ago. My first experience of the boreal forest biome, and I loved it! I definitely plan to go back, although it's a bigger trip from California than it was from Massachusetts. 1w
