💙 I filed our taxes yesterday. Usually I file in February, but I've just had no mojo this year.

Magic for Marigold | L.M. Montgomery

It was no Jane, Emily, or Anne. I feel so guilty. I don't understand why it was a big deal to be read by a male. He is not a good oral reader. I hope my negativity is because of him, but I don't think so. I didn't like all the misconceptions of the children. By the last hour, it was just background noise. #ChildrensClassicChallenge @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie This was not what I thought it would be- although I enjoyed Marigold. I‘m glad I read it in bits. 3w

Butterfinger @TheBookHippie there were moments I enjoyed. Saving a family from a house fire because she was homesick. And, moments of clarity with her family. I was waffling between liking it and meh, but what really got my goat was the misconceptions of missionary work. You have to know pain to be close to God. Today, people are turned off from God because of the ways of the republican party and it was just too much for me. 3w

TheBookHippie @Butterfinger God has been used a weapon and vehicle of control, power and manipulation by alt right Christians all the way back to Roman Christians ..from Constantine on it‘s been horrific. Missionary work is a status symbol here. It‘s gross. I think it depends what you have seen and experienced. I don‘t personally think we should ever go into another culture and tell them how to live, love or believe -or anyone for that matter. 3w

rubyslippersreads I haven‘t read this in years, and don‘t remember much about it. The girl on the audiobook cover reminds me of the “disaster girl” meme. 😆 3w

rubyslippersreads @TheBookHippie Wasn‘t it originally a magazine serial? That might explain the religious aspect, depending on what the magazine was. 3w

TheBookHippie @rubyslippersreads Yes and I believe so. It most definitely explains it. I‘m still glad to have read it. 3w

Butterfinger You are 100% correct @TheBookHippie 3w

#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! 3w

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? 😊 3w

#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.
