Sace I never realized how old the “which is better the book or the movie” debate was! 6d

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.) 1w

TheAromaofBooks Ah, The Birds' Christmas Carol - it's a classic tearjerker from the era 😂 But super sweet. 1w

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.

mcctrish I am 99% certain I watched the movie on a Saturday morning a long long time ago but I have never read the book. Count me in. I am on the hunt for a copy 4w

tpixie @TheBookHippie I remember loving this book as a child. I have no recollection what it was about though. Looking forward to reading it. 4w

TheBookHippie @tpixie I‘ve zero knowledge of the story I‘m excited to read it! 4w

SaceReads I‘ve never read this! I‘ll try to join in. 4w

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!! 4w

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. 🙃 4w

curiouserandcurioser @TheBookHippie I read this a long time ago and loved the Shirley Temple movie:) I'm excited for this❤ 4w

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 4w

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean 🙃🙃🙃🙃 4w

AmyG Oh, how I love Shirley Temple movies. My childhood…they had them on Sat or Sun mornings and I always watched. 4w

rubyslippersreads @AmyG Me too. My mom and I used to watch them together. 4w

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! 🙌🏻 4w

AnnCrystal 🎉🎂🥳👍. 4w

julieclair @BarbaraJean I'd be fine with moving the Kindred Spirits schedule around a bit so we could all read together. 4w

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 😂 4w

PurpleyPumpkin Another children‘s classic that I haven‘t read! Looking forward to this. 😉 4w

TheBookHippie @PurpleyPumpkin me too!!! 4w

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

Liz_M @LitsyEvenets 2w

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. 7d

rockpools @TheBookHippie Thank you ☺️. My library has provided me with a rather fragile copy from 1940! I‘m looking forward to it! 6d

Hard to believe I went this long in life without reading this gem. Such beautiful descriptions of nature, and a heartwarming tale that made me miss my grandparents. So glad I read it and so glad I purchased the book.

Thx so much @TheBookHippie for including Heidi in this month‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024. I finally read this gem for the first time and loved it! 🙌🏻 I also watched the film version (on VHS!) with my Mom. Of course, the book is so much better, but the movie is perfectly cast with Shirley Temple as Heidi & it‘s quite amusing too. What a heartwarming adventure!
P.S. Count me in when we all move to the mountains and tend our goats!🐐
@Morr_Books

AmyG I loved Shirley Temple as Heidi. 2mo

kspenmoll Shirley Temple was amazing in all her roles. 2mo

mrp27 I‘m loving the book too! Savoring it because I don‘t want it to end. I‘ve lost my Shirley Temple vhs tapes in one of my moves. 2mo

UwannaPublishme @TheBookHippie @AmyG @kspenmoll I hadn‘t seen a Shirley Temple movie in ages. She really was amazing and so perfect in this role! 2mo

UwannaPublishme @mrp27 So happy to hear you‘re enjoying it too. If you still have a VHS player like me, I‘ll send you the movie. 😊 2mo

PurpleyPumpkin Glad you enjoyed this one! I really did too. And yes, looking forward to mountain living and tending our goats. It really did sound like a lovely pastime! Not like work at all!😅 2mo

mrp27 Ugh… I do wish I still had a VHS player. I used to. Only have a DVD player. But thank you, so kind! 2mo

UwannaPublishme @PurpleyPumpkin 😁 👍🏻 I‘m always up for an escape into nature where I can play with the animals and read! 2mo

UwannaPublishme @mrp27 I have to keep my player working as long as I can. It‘s too hard to part with my old VHS tapes.😁 2mo

Jari-chan You can come visit me - I live about 20 minutes from Maienfeld 😁 2mo

UwannaPublishme @Jari-chan Wow! How wonderful is that! I‘m sure it‘s as beautiful there as we imagine. Hope you have room for all of us…and our goats! 😁 2mo

Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme If the goats are very tiny we sure can find a spot 😁 🐐 2mo

UwannaPublishme @Jari-chan 😂😂😂 2mo
