Racketty-Packetty House | Frances Hodgson Burnett

A pure joy. Early 20th century Toy Story. Raggedy family of cheerful dolls versus a new, boring, and haughty family of dolls. The haughty ones learn to love the shabby ones right before the Princess rescues them from being burned.

I didn't know Burnett moved to Tennessee as a child.

#ChildrensClassicRead @TheBookHippie I am so grateful for this list.

Going back to the days of security and no worries. Curled up and listening to the rain. Frances Hodgson Burnett was always one I usually had in my hands when I needed comfort. #ChildrensClassicRead @TheBookHippie

White Stallion of Lipizza | Marguerite Henry

Who knew that adored author Marguerite Henry spent her last 2 decades writing and relaxing in Rancho Santa Fe, a community known for its horse ranches & riding trails—and happens to be in my neighborhood! So off I went to the Historical Society where Henry‘s photo is featured on their wall among RSF‘s most famous residents including Bing Crosby & Howard Hughes! Will be reading this Henry bio next by Susan Friedland.

MemoirsForMe @TheBookHippie The gentleman at the Historical Society even gave us a book his grandmother wrote about the city‘s rich memories. And boy, we sure do need books like Henry‘s to lift our spirits these days. 4mo
TheBookHippie @MemoirsForMe oh how lovely!!! 4mo
MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks I LOVE learning fun author facts, especially in my neighborhood! I‘m new to Henry, but she‘s becoming a hero for me too! 🙌🏻 4mo

Here is my April TBR list. Lots of #buddyreads for #SundayBuddyRead #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent #ChildrensClassicRead NancyDrewBR (& Trixie Belden too!) #Naturalitsy #SheSaid #Roll100 #SeasonalCozies ##AuldLangSpine #TravelingStars & virtual foodie book club & a few for #SeriesLove2024

Several of these are shorter reads so I think I can make most of it hapoen, however, my reading is moody so you never know what else might come up! 📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚

Librarybelle Lots of great books!! 1y
