Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1) | L.M. Montgomery

I‘m trying to choose an edition of Anne of Green Gables. It thought having a lovely edition would give me the courage to read this book for the first time since I was a kid. Any suggestions?
#AnneOfGreenGables #Suggestions #WhichEdition

Rachbb3 The green one looks good 👌🏻 4y

batsy The lovely mint green or the one on the right... 💚 4y

GingerAntics @batsy those are the two I‘m leaning toward…of course I did also find a lovely illustrated edition, so clearly I need to just think of something else and stop googling. 4y

(R)evolution: The Autobiography | Gary Numan

Relaxing in the summer house with this autobiography. All the comfy chairs have broken and been thrown in the skip and our new ones haven‘t arrived so here I am sat on foldable plastic chair, not ideal. I did however bring the footstool from inside

Outlander | Diana Gabaldon

I started watching this last night and like it so far. Has anyone read the books or seen the show? What you think of it? #suggestions #outlander

swishandflick One of my all-time favorite book series!! I've read them many times. I loved the TV series at first as well, but one of the later castings bothered me and I slowly lost interest. I need to revisit at some point though, folks love the show. But as is the case in most instances, you can't beat the books! (edited) 4y

Purpleness I love the books, too, but I felt that the show started to really diverge from the books in season 3 or 4, and I gave up in season 5 when some parts were just unrecognisable. 4y

TEArificbooks I love the books. Been reading them for 20 years. Read them multiple times. I do like the show as well. They only have so much time so they can‘t show every detail of the books, but I think the show is done well. 4y

Kimberlone The first season is absolute perfection! 4y

BayouGirl85 I really enjoyed the tv series so far. Have only read book one but loved it. 4y

coffeewithbooks Maybe if I keep liking the show I will feel like reading the books. 4y

Birdsong28 I watch the series then listen to the corresponding audiobook 📚📖 4y

cmurrsanders I‘ve read all the books and watched the show too. Highly recommend the books. The show has some artistic licensing that is not true to the books. 4y

persephone1408 I've been watching the show since it started. Ive watched it all the way through 4times. I have the first book but I haven't read it yet. 3y

Patchshank I'm not sure it's for children per se, but it's a cute story about a boy who is raised by ghosts in a graveyard because his parents got murdered. It's not scary.

The Graveyard Book

Scary Godmother Comic Book Stories

alisiakae This is one of my favorite Halloween picture books, and there is also a short movie that is fantastic.

The Death of Mrs. Westaway | Ruth Ware

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was riddled with mild annoyances and could have been a bit shorter. The author constantly throws suspicion every which way but in the end my original solve ended up correct. Don‘t know if I should be satisfied with that fact or not. I‘m new to this genre but will keep up with it. #suggestions welcome in comments!

National Geographic Book of Nature Poetry: More Than 200 Poems with Photographs That Float, Zoom, and Bloom! | J. Patrick Lewis

I know Whitman, Gill, and Berry, but what are some other poets that write nature poetry to check out? Or even specific collections by Berry or anyone else? Please and thank you!!!
#poetry #naturepoetry #WaltWhitman #NikitaGill #WendellBerry #suggestions #suggestionsneeded #recommendations

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie maybe this is a better question to ask: who are your favourite poets?! lol I‘m trying to remember who else (there was at least one other litten) also suggested Wendell. I‘m going to have to just pull the trigger on him and start somewhere, I think. 5y

TheBookHippie Ohhhhh my word okay I‘ll make a list...be back soon. 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie you‘re awesome!!! Thanks!!! 🙏 5y

TheBookHippie TENNYSON !! 5y

TheBookHippie My son loves Robert Frost I do not 🤣🤣 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie that is one hell of a list. Phew, okay. I‘m going to have to digest all that. I keep hearing good things about Mary Oliver. I‘m interesting in Cummings, as well. 5y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics 🤣🤣🤣I‘ve read poetry for 40 years for zen. It‘s a love. 5y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I would think you‘d love Mary Oliver. 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘ve been eyeing her books for a few weeks now. I think that could be my next one. 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie once I found some poets I liked, it was very relaxing to read. 5y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I agree some are 🤢 once you find your grove you end up being able to pick it up easier, and know instantly thumbing through if it‘s your thing or not. 5y

TheBookHippie Tupac has beautiful poetry I use it with kids all the time just depends on the person. 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie Tupac, like the rapper? I can see that. Some rap songs, when reading the lyrics, are amazingly deep and insightful. 5y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics

Rose That Grew from Concrete

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie he actually wrote poetry!!! I never knew that. I have to find that now. Please hold. 5y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics it‘s very very good🥀 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I have just discovered “the everymany‘s library pocket poetry” and several of the poets you mentioned have their own volumes. 5y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yes. I own several I end up giving them to students and rebuying them 🤣🤣I‘m always searching used bookstores for them. I watch kindle too. 5y

Trying to decide on one of these for #Booked2020 #HatOnCover.
