We‘re starting the #KindredSpiritsChristmas buddy read on Saturday! I‘ll post daily with quotes or thoughts about each story, and links to read online when applicable. If you‘re not tagged but you‘d like to be, just let me know. 😊
The first story is “The Genesis of the Doughnut Club,” a Thanksgiving tale that‘s actually NOT in the tagged collection. It can be found here: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1907-1908/17/
roaring good times to
be had by all — sequins, feathers
and little glass balls.

I'm definitely looking forward to reading my #BookSpin, but with the way my life has been going lately, I'm not sure about my #DoubleSpin, The Darkest Night. I've already finished the first book on my December list, Enid Blyton's Christmas Stories, and I'm hoping to get at least one #BookSpinBingo this month, even if I don't manage to finish both books.

We do not care that our sister is always “sooooo busy” that she can‘t find an hour to collect something I picked up for her. As Queen Brene says “being busy is not a badge of honor”. We also do not care that she says she is “soooo full” so many times at the holiday that my kids have started to count and we all kick each other. 🤣 it‘s double digits y‘all. 🙄 WDNC!!!!
pickI'm really enjoying Tommy & Tuppence! I was surprised by the long time gap from their first adventure but glad they are still happily married, although a bit bored. The detective agency was such a fun way for them to spend their time & great for the short story format here. I admit, most of the references to famous detectives went over my head as I'm not familiar with most of them. But it didn't hinder my understanding or enjoyment

“Unsolved mysteries.”
Raymond West blew out a cloud of smoke and repeated the words with a kind of deliberate self-conscious pleasure.

pickIt had a touch of Kipling's influence. I thought so, anyway. I enjoyed it, but it didn't give me the warmth of The Railway Children. Thanks for choosing these books for us, @TheBookHippie #ChildrensClassicRead2025
