Happy almost New Year, Kindred Spirits! Today begins our buddy read of Anne of the Island. I‘m really looking forward to re-reading Anne‘s college adventures!

I‘ll post a check-in halfway through on Jan. 4, and our discussion will be on Jan. 11. Let me know if you‘re not tagged and you‘d like to be! #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread

SpeculativeFemale I read these so many times growing up and still love them! 4d
BarbaraJean @SpeculativeFemale Me too—they‘re such beloved favorites for me!! 4d
TheAromaofBooks I know this is considered one of the weaker Anne books, but I love it so much!! 4d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks I don‘t understand this one being viewed as weaker, because it had always been my favorite! (House of Dreams eclipsed it for me a few years ago, but still!) 3d

#12Booksof2024 Day 5

My favorite book of May was Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, which I read with #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead and #ChildrensClassicRead2024 .

@Andrew65 @BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie

Andrew65 A good choice. 4d
Bookwormjillk I like how you have two very different Rebeccas in a row. 4d
Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk True that! 😂 4d
TheBookHippie ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 4d
julieclair @Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella Isn‘t that a hoot? Seems like all a book needs to become a favorite of mine is to have Rebecca in the title. 😂 4d

Next up for #KindredSpritsChristmas is Uncle Richard‘s New Year‘s Dinner. Another family feud is ended when Prissy secretly goes to her estranged uncle‘s house & cooks his New Year‘s dinner while he is at work. Classic LMM. 80 points

“I'd love to be friends with you,“ she said slowly. “I've often thought I'd like to know you. Isn't it odd that we have the same name? It was so nice of you to come and see me. I—I'd love to have you come often.“

Aw—such a sweet story of a mixup that leads to a kind deed and a future friendship. Also: Josie Pye!! ? ⤵️

CogsOfEncouragement lol Right? I‘m sure it is quite a chore to continually come up with unique names! I enjoyed this sweet story of kindness. 1w
lauraisntwilder They were discussing the "other" Ida Mtchell and I thought, if only they had an idea of the other Josie Pye! 1w
BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve often thought about that with LMM‘s short stories, wondering how she chose all the names! @lauraisntwilder Oh, my—yes!! Now you have me thinking: what if LMM had written a story in which this Josie Pye was that Josie Pye and had the name mixup. A very different story indeed. 😂 1w
rubyslippersreads Was the Josie Pye in AOGG the evil twin of the one in this story? 1w

“She had planned to spend a nice, lazy holiday with the new book her father had given her at Christmas and a box of candy.”

Those sound like FANTASTIC plans for New Year‘s Day, and I feel that “regretful peep” at her book!! But I love the plan to brighten someone‘s New Year, anonymously—with such a wonderful result. ⤵️

TheAromaofBooks This one was just adorable. And no good deed is done without a twinge of the selfish one that could have been 😂 2w
BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder The perfect New Year's Day plan! I mean, unless you have an estranged uncle to cook for, in which case, do that. 😂 @CogsOfEncouragement It was such a relatable situation! @TheAromaofBooks So true!! 1w
lauraisntwilder @BarbaraJean No estranged uncles! 😜 1w
