Sace I never realized how old the “which is better the book or the movie” debate was! 1w

One of the reasons I wanted to read Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm as a #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMAdjacent book is because of the similarities between it and Anne of Green Gables, and the controversy over whether there was plagiarism on LMM‘s part. Then I found this book cover online. Does this constitute reverse plagiarism? 🤣 #ChildrensClassicRead2024

lauraisntwilder Ha! 2w

BarbaraJean @tpixie Yes! I moved my group‘s reading up a bit so the two could overlap and we could take part in both! 2w

tpixie @BarbaraJean awesome!! 2w

TheAromaofBooks Honestly hilarious haha Somehow I had never realized until I actually got a copy of this book - it's written by Kate Douglas Wiggin?! How did I not know that?? I've really loved several of her other books, so I'm SO confused about how I've never even read what is apparently her most famous! Quite glad I'm going to rectify that, and genuinely intrigued to see what parallels there are with Anne. 2w

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Haha--my Kate Douglas Wiggin authorship revelation was the discovery that she wrote “The Birds' Christmas Carol,“ which I have a sweet old vintage copy of and INTEND to read every Christmas. (I'm not sure if I've actually read it yet.) (I haven't read Rebecca either.) 2w

TheAromaofBooks Ah, The Birds' Christmas Carol - it's a classic tearjerker from the era 😂 But super sweet. 2w

Miss Dearborn had not thought of it be-fore, but on reflection she believed the subjunctive mood was a "sad" one and "if" rather a sorry "part of speech."

Apparently, a long time ago, I started this on the Kindle, but I have no recollection of that, so I am starting over for #ChildrensClassicRead2024.

tpixie @TheBookHippie I remember loving this book as a child. I have no recollection what it was about though. Looking forward to reading it. 1mo

TheBookHippie @tpixie I‘ve zero knowledge of the story I‘m excited to read it! 1mo

SaceReads I‘ve never read this! I‘ll try to join in. 1mo

BarbaraJean Oh, wow—I‘ve never read this one, either, but I have it on the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead list at the end of June… I may just have to read it early!! 1mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean oh 😬 sorry bout that. I make and put out our schedule Oct 2023. I didn‘t catch you had it on your schedule. But please do read along. It‘s very low key we just post fun things we find and movies and articles with the hashtag. We all will have to join in your talks in June. 🙃 1mo

curiouserandcurioser @TheBookHippie I read this a long time ago and loved the Shirley Temple movie:) I'm excited for this❤ 1mo

BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie Oh, no worries!! I made up our schedule only a few months ago and wish I‘d thought to look at your schedule before I did. I may see if the Kindred Spirits readers want to move things around a bit… there‘s just a few of us and some are on your tag list as well 😊 @TheAromaofBooks @julieclair @rubyslippersreads 1mo

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean 🙃🙃🙃🙃 1mo

AmyG Oh, how I love Shirley Temple movies. My childhood…they had them on Sat or Sun mornings and I always watched. 1mo

rubyslippersreads @AmyG Me too. My mom and I used to watch them together. 1mo

UwannaPublishme Woo hoo! This one is new to me too. I‘ve got the ebook on my Kindle and already ordered the Shirley Temple movie on ebay! 🙌🏻 1mo

AnnCrystal 🎉🎂🥳👍. 1mo

julieclair @BarbaraJean I'd be fine with moving the Kindred Spirits schedule around a bit so we could all read together. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean - I'm also fine with moving this one to May if it works better. I haven't read it in forever, so I'm looking forward to the reread whenever it happens 😂 1mo

PurpleyPumpkin Another children‘s classic that I haven‘t read! Looking forward to this. 😉 1mo

TheBookHippie @PurpleyPumpkin me too!!! 1mo

Bklover Not sure if I can fit this in this month, but I know I loved this as a child. Can‘t remember a single thing about it though! 4w

rockpools I‘d love to join you for this. I grew up in a Sunnybrook (my grandparents place was called Sunnybrook) but somehow have never read it. Is it just a read-and-post-as-we-go, or is it a section a week or something? 1w

TheBookHippie @rockpools read at your own pace, finish by end of the month, post a review or any quote you like or movie or fun info you find and use the hashtag #ChildrensClassicRead2024 ♥️ I read a little each day with my morning coffee. 1w

rockpools @TheBookHippie Thank you ☺️. My library has provided me with a rather fragile copy from 1940! I‘m looking forward to it! 1w
