Pollyanna of the Orange Blossoms | Harriet Lummis Smith

In Wellington ostensibly for work. May have wandered into a bookshop. May have issues getting my suitcase closed. 😝😝😝 Unfortunately did not have room for all these Pollyannas!

Jeg Wow. I don‘t think I got to read all the Pollyanna books when I was young. Just looked to see if I had kept any but I haven‘t. 🥲. Those look so good and I bet they smell good too. 😊. 8mo

Tamra So pretty! 8mo

CarolynM I didn‘t know there were so many Pollyannas! Hope your bag‘s not too heavy to carry🤣 8mo

Centique @Jeg @CarolynM @Daisey @Ruthiella i have about 5 myself which i inherited from my mother but apparently there are 13 altogether. The original author wrote the first two and then two other authors carried on after that. 8mo

Scochrane26 This is mostly all I remember of the Pollyanna book from when I read as a kid—the description of a prism. 3y

tpixie @Scochrane26 it‘s a delightful memory. Prisms are magical! 3y

TheBookHippie It‘s so wonderful 🤍 3y

tpixie @TheBookHippie yes! 🥰 3y

Pollyanna & Pollyanna Grows Up | Eleanor H. Porter

pick

This was a low pick - I did expect something a little more than “glad” forty times on every page! Still, I enjoyed it pretty well and might read the sequel eventually. I have vague memories of the movie, but I know my mom likes it.

#bookspin done for May - I actually read them both this month!

TheBookHippie, TheAromaofBooks

TheBookHippie 🙃 I read a little everyday that probably helps 😅 I‘ve never seen the movie! 3y

megnews I watched this movie at least twice a month growing up. 3y

TheAromaofBooks I enjoyed the original story & had mixed feelings about Pollyanna Grows Up, which is basically two books put together with a huge gap of years in the middle. I also really enjoyed Pollyanna of the Orange Blossoms, about her wedding and early years as a bride, although that one was actually written by a different author! 3y

Pollyanna & Pollyanna Grows Up | Eleanor H. Porter

“Mrs Snow had lived forty years, and for fifteen of those years she had been too busy wishing things were different to find much time to enjoy things as they were.”

I‘m coming up on 40 this year, and I don‘t really like this idea of the old sick woman being just 40. I got the impression (not stated) she was older. I guess maybe I‘m...older...than I used to be. 🤨

TheBookHippie Life expectancy 50 for men 55 for women in 1913 when this was written !!! I think you find yourself and your center in your 40s 🤍. I had a baby 🤣🤣. 3y

tpixie @ravenlee 40 is the new 20! I was surprised the curmudgeon Ove was only 50!

Pollyanna Grows Up | Eleanor Hodgman Porter

Scores from a new op shop I found in the town where my partner works. Last school hols we couldn‘t do my usual trip to Maitland to lunch with him & shop away the day, thanks to Covid, so I really appreciated being able to do it on Mon. It‘s always the most relaxing day of my hols & I always come away with fantastic bargains. I‘m a die hard May Gibbs fan so was very happy to add this book I hadn‘t heard of to my kid‘s book collection.

suvata I completely forgot about Pollyanna. Absolutely one of my favorite books as a child. 4y

You guys!!! I have to brag on this package that my new friend and train buddy @Come-read-with-me gave me today. She is just the sweetest, coolest and most thoughtful person I have ever met. Thank you so so much Paula! The Little Golden Books were her personal childhood ones ❤

Come-read-with-me @rather_be_reading 😊I‘m glad the books have a good home! 5y

rather_be_reading @Come-read-with-me they belong in a case! i promise to take great care of them! 5y

Such a good book I really enjoyed it and it teaches you to find the best in every situation no matter what you're going through a great life lesson at any age. I love how short it was. :)
