Next up for #KindredSpiritsChristmas is set in a women‘s boarding house. 5 young women who are good friends & can‘t go home for Christmas decide to try to make a happy Christmas for a lonely lady who‘s been living there for 14 years & has no friends & no money. It‘s really sweet & fun & reminds me of Anne & her roommates while she was in college. 4⭐️ 80 points

Today‘s #KindredSpiritsChristmas read is a really good one. There‘s nothing like making up with your best friends after a long estrangement, especially at Christmas. 5⭐️ 80 points

#wreath within a wreath for today's #ChristmasCheer prompt. 🎄
Tagged, the center piece book, as one of my first Christmas reads each year. A must for any L.M. Montgomery fan.

Well, this starts off with a lengthy intro about how great Christmas is (that I‘m pretty sure was not written by LMM)—and if you want to skip ahead, you can start chapter one around the 7:45 mark! Not a whole lot of story yet in the first two chapters, but I‘m interested to hear the result of the snow fight tomorrow. #KindredSpiritsChristmas #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead ⤵️

BarbaraJean In all my Google searchings, I‘ve only found this as an audiobook on Hoopla. The intro seems to indicate it‘s drawn from several stories and books, but its origins are otherwise a mystery! I‘m interested to see how much of a traditional LMM flavor it has as we listen to the rest. (edited) 4d
lauraisntwilder Is it just me, or is the narrator pronouncing Todd like toad? 3d
BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder It‘s not just you! That annoyed me!! 3d
TheAromaofBooks I'm not an audiobook person, so I doubt I'll end up listening to this. But I'm very interested to hear what you think of it!! I wonder where this story came from?? I could find nothing about it! 3d

Since this audiobook is only 45 minutes long I decided to go ahead and listen to the whole thing today. This was new to me. I really disliked the narrator so I didn‘t enjoy this as much as the others we‘ve read but it‘s still good. I couldn‘t find anything but the audiobook. 3.5⭐️ 80 points

BarbaraJean You're way ahead! 😄 I'm looking forward to starting my listening tomorrow. It's so puzzling to me that I can't find this anywhere except as a Hoopla audiobook! 4d
JenlovesJT47 @BarbaraJean yes, very weird. I found all of the other ones in various places, most you can read right in your internet browser, but all I could find was the audiobook on Hoopla. Wasn‘t a fan of the woman narrator because she sounds exactly like someone I know that I‘m not a fan of lol. Would have been better to read it with my eyeballs. But at least we can mark this one off our list! 🙃 4d
BarbaraJean @JenLovesJT I wasn't a fan of the woman narrator, but mainly because she kept pronouncing “Todd“ as “Toad“ and it bothered me!! The audiobook overall was weird. I would have preferred reading it in print as well! 1d

Here‘s the schedule for week three of our #KindredSpiritsChristmas #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead!

A Merryvale Christmas is available as an audiobook on Hoopla, and the Dec. 18-20 stories are in the tagged collection and online (I‘ll post links in the comments). See my previous post for a little caveat about Merryvale Christmas, which we‘ll be reading over a few days (~15 audiobook minutes per day). Looking forward to another week of cozy stories!

BarbaraJean I've only found A Merryvale Christmas as a Hoopla audiobook. The other stories are all in “Christmas with Anne“ or on Hoopla, and links are below:
Dec. 18: The Falsoms‘ Christmas Dinner: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1905-1906/19/
Dec. 19: A Christmas Inspiration: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1896-1901/2/
Dec. 20: The Josephs‘ Christmas:
https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1902-1903/13/

JenlovesJT47 I‘m excited because I haven‘t read the Merryvale stories before! 5d
AvidReader25 I got behind this week. Can‘t wait to dive back in! 5d

@Scochrane26 - I'm your #JolabokaflodSwap match this year!!! I mailed your package earlier this week, but in typical Sarah-Style did not actually notate on the envelope anywhere that it was a Litsy package or who it was from 😂 So be on the lookout for a blue padded envelope from Ohio - that's your Swap gift!!! Merry Christmas!!

@MaleficentBookDragon thanks so much for hosting - I love this simple swap!!
