#KindredSpiritsChristmas buddy read starts today!

“…you can't preach much good into a boy if he‘s got an aching void in his stomach. Fill *that* up with tasty victuals, and then you can do something with his spiritual nature. If a boy is well stuffed with good things and then won‘t listen to advice, you might as well stop wasting your breath on him, because there is something radically wrong with him. Probably his grandfather had dyspepsia.” ⤵️

BarbaraJean Today‘s story is “The Genesis of the Doughnut Club,” which can be found here: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1907-1908/17/ or on Hoopla (NOT in the tagged collection). Enjoy!🎄 1d
Jerdencon What a great short story! I loved it! ❤️ 1d
lauraisntwilder I had completely forgotten how this one wrapped up! Off to a good start. 😊 16h

Soft pick. I really wish there was more of Anne.

BookishMarginalia I‘ve been rewatching the Anne adaptation with Megan Follows as Anne — I‘ve seen it probably 20 times since I was a teen and love it so much still. 2w
Kristy_K @BookishMarginalia Those adaptations were so such a huge part of my childhood! I‘m overdue for a rewatch. 2w

JenlovesJT47 Yay I so enjoyed this last year ❤️💚❤️ 4w
sblbooks I'm glad you're doing this again. I've really enjoyed this tradition the past few years. I'm in. 4w
Daisey Thanks for the tag, but I think I will be skipping this year. 4w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I tend to bounce in and out of these now that I've read all of them at least once, but keep me on the list for sure!! 4w
BarbaraJean @Jerdencon @JenlovesJT47 @sblbooks Yay! Glad to have you all reading along this year! 🎄 4w
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks In past years, I didn‘t remember which stories went with which titles (for the most part—I always remember Aunt Cyrilla and her basket!!), but now they‘re starting to look familiar! Also, I added a couple “new” ones this year (not that weird Merryvale one from last year, but a couple others I hadn‘t seen before)—so keep an eye out on Dec. 8 & 9 😁 4w
BarbaraJean @monalyisha ☺️🤗 4w
AnneCecilie I might join in. It was very cozy reading these stories the first year 4w
BarbaraJean @AnneCecilie I'll tag you! Feel free to pop in and out or whatever works for you. 4w

one essential thing
I demand from a book is
that it interests me.

Rainbow Valley | Lucy Maud Montgomery

Pickpick

Every once in a while, I feel like I need a palate cleanser and an Anne of Green Gables book always does the trick.

Rainbow Valley is a part of the AOGG story that I had never read before. It focuses on her children and a group of neighbor kids and the shenanigans they get up to.

Fun, sweet, predictable, just what I needed.

talking in their sleep — what nice
dreams they must have!
