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/

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!!!!

AmyG Ah, sisters. 🤣 I do not care that my sister is mad at me for not being able to attend a relative‘s funeral. She can kiss my ass…she never even told me her daughter was having a baby…THIS MONTH. My husband heard it from the Dad to be. 🤣 I FEEL YOU, MY FRIEND. 👊🏻 (edited) 18h

I'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

It 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

TheBookHippie I adored Railway Children! You‘re so right it is a bit of Kipling. 1d
