#wreath within a wreath for today's #ChristmasCheer prompt. 🎄
Tagged, the center piece book, as one of my first Christmas reads each year. A must for any L.M. Montgomery fan.

This is a low pick for me, which is on me not the book. The book is excellent. I appreciate how the language and tone shift from pov to pov inside of the stories, and each tenant is a full person. I think I just needed more depth at the moment. Some of these stories are only 10-15 pages and while you get a feel for each person you also feel like a lot of their story is missing.
Overall though this is excellently constructed.

My immediate response upon reading that last sentence was “thems fightin‘ words” and I‘m wondering what muppet trauma the author lived through to have any kind of bad opinion of them…

Then again I haven‘t watched Muppet Christmas Carol since I was very young so maybe it‘s not as good as I remember 😄🤷‍♀️

BookmarkTavern I just watched it last night, and it‘s definitely as good as I remember. 🤣 1d
MaureenMc I concur! It‘s a wonderful adaptation of Dickens‘ work. And Michael Caine is perfection! 1d
Kenyazero It‘s definitely still awesome as an adult (but it is missing a song now because someone thought removing a part of the story would be a good idea) 22h

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.25/5)

💛 Hauntingly beautiful, poetic writing
💛 Intriguing studies of isolation, identity, and alienation
💛 Some of the stories had a dystopian, “Twilight Zone“ kind of vibe that I dug
💛 Definitely one to come back to - additional readings will enhance the experience

Well, this starts off with a lengthy intro about how great Christmas is (that I‘m pretty sure was not written by LMM)—and if you want to skip ahead, you can start chapter one around the 7:45 mark! Not a whole lot of story yet in the first two chapters, but I‘m interested to hear the result of the snow fight tomorrow. #KindredSpiritsChristmas #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead ⤵️

BarbaraJean In all my Google searchings, I‘ve only found this as an audiobook on Hoopla. The intro seems to indicate it‘s drawn from several stories and books, but its origins are otherwise a mystery! I‘m interested to see how much of a traditional LMM flavor it has as we listen to the rest. (edited) 2d
lauraisntwilder Is it just me, or is the narrator pronouncing Todd like toad? 2d
BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder It‘s not just you! That annoyed me!! 2d
TheAromaofBooks I'm not an audiobook person, so I doubt I'll end up listening to this. But I'm very interested to hear what you think of it!! I wonder where this story came from?? I could find nothing about it! 2d

This was a pan for me because of the lack of images (Libby never has the accompanying images etc…) things got easily confusing. I look forward to finding more Anishinaabeg stories.

Andrew65 Some audiobooks just do not work for some books, especially where you need images. 3d
CoverToCoverGirl Next! I love audiobooks but for me paper copies are always a win. 3d
DieAReader @Andrew65 ❤️‍🔥This was one of those unfortunately😢 3d
DieAReader @CoverToCoverGirl 💯% agree. Unfortunately, there are way too many books that I want to read to only stick to physical. Availability in my little rural town is quite limited so, I‘ve been trying/learning to use the resources open to me😝 without always having to buy. 3d
