It was no Jane, Emily, or Anne. I feel so guilty. I don't understand why it was a big deal to be read by a male. He is not a good oral reader. I hope my negativity is because of him, but I don't think so. I didn't like all the misconceptions of the children. By the last hour, it was just background noise. #ChildrensClassicChallenge @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie This was not what I thought it would be- although I enjoyed Marigold. I‘m glad I read it in bits. 7mo
Butterfinger @TheBookHippie there were moments I enjoyed. Saving a family from a house fire because she was homesick. And, moments of clarity with her family. I was waffling between liking it and meh, but what really got my goat was the misconceptions of missionary work. You have to know pain to be close to God. Today, people are turned off from God because of the ways of the republican party and it was just too much for me. 7mo
TheBookHippie @Butterfinger God has been used a weapon and vehicle of control, power and manipulation by alt right Christians all the way back to Roman Christians ..from Constantine on it‘s been horrific. Missionary work is a status symbol here. It‘s gross. I think it depends what you have seen and experienced. I don‘t personally think we should ever go into another culture and tell them how to live, love or believe -or anyone for that matter. 7mo

rubyslippersreads I haven‘t read this in years, and don‘t remember much about it. The girl on the audiobook cover reminds me of the “disaster girl” meme. 😆 7mo
rubyslippersreads @TheBookHippie Wasn‘t it originally a magazine serial? That might explain the religious aspect, depending on what the magazine was. 7mo
TheBookHippie @rubyslippersreads Yes and I believe so. It most definitely explains it. I‘m still glad to have read it. 7mo
Butterfinger You are 100% correct @TheBookHippie 7mo

Pickpick

#Read2025

I finished this one last night for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 & it‘s a soft pick for nostalgia for the author. I found it too long & disjointed with it being separate stories really rather than cohesive chapters. It could be because I waited for the end of the month & was hurrying a bit but I had a hard time keeping track of all of the family & other characters. It did have some charming moments though.

TheBookHippie It is not my favorite of hers but like you some of the passages I really enjoyed! 7mo
LeahBergen It‘s not a favourite of mine either but … you‘re right. Any LMM is usually good for a hit of nostalgia, isn‘t it? 😊 7mo

“I'd love to be friends with you,“ she said slowly. “I've often thought I'd like to know you. Isn't it odd that we have the same name? It was so nice of you to come and see me. I—I'd love to have you come often.“

Aw—such a sweet story of a mixup that leads to a kind deed and a future friendship. Also: Josie Pye!! ? ⤵️

CogsOfEncouragement lol Right? I‘m sure it is quite a chore to continually come up with unique names! I enjoyed this sweet story of kindness. 10mo
lauraisntwilder They were discussing the "other" Ida Mtchell and I thought, if only they had an idea of the other Josie Pye! 10mo

BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve often thought about that with LMM‘s short stories, wondering how she chose all the names! @lauraisntwilder Oh, my—yes!! Now you have me thinking: what if LMM had written a story in which this Josie Pye was that Josie Pye and had the name mixup. A very different story indeed. 😂 10mo
rubyslippersreads Was the Josie Pye in AOGG the evil twin of the one in this story? 10mo
BarbaraJean @rubyslippersreads I only just saw this comment! 🤦🏻‍♀️ And YES, I think we have an evil twin situation here. 10mo

@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!!
