A Girl of the Limberlost | 
I was asked for fav fictional characters: Ender Wiggin for his questioning mind, Elnora Comstock for curiosity, Atticus Finch for parenting skills, Jo March for her fiery spirit & disregard for social norms, Katie Nolan for strength, Armand Gamache for humility & wisdom, Marvin the Android for sarcasm, Kvothe for ingenuity, Aragorn for his quiet leadership, Herr Thiessen for his devotion to beauty, & Jane Eyre for her calm determination.
Though Elnora isn‘t #homeless, she might as well be, since her mother ignores her, obsessing about the missing husband she wishes were in Hell. #dragmetohell
Friends help Elnora attend school, buying her new clothes (probably including a #sweater), in this novel with a #forestgreencover

Day 5 of #20Series20Days #Top20Series I don‘t really think of this as a series, but GR calls it the Limberlost Series. Characters from Freckles appear in the tagged book. And Freckles Comes Home was written by the author‘s daughter. The tagged book is one of my very favorites, while I‘ve only read the Freckles books once each, so that probably tells you all you need to know. 😊
Exercised a bit while listening to this. It was my mom‘s favorite book and I‘ve been meaning to read it for a long time. I have to go help with a candidate event in an hour, so I‘ll listen to audio in the car to and from. Can‘t believe it‘s already the 5th hour of #readathon!
#Cult5. The girl reader edition. 👧
Thanks to @vivastory, the only one I know has cult status is the Moomin book.
If I owned a copy, Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block would be here too.
Thanks for the tag @AnneCecilie ☺️
This was the book that got me back into reading. I read it for the first time when I was a young teen. I love it so SO much. Nature! Music! Drama! Romance! Happy Ending! It felt so good to walk with this character.
#riotgrams / day 7 / #welllovedbooks / I'm fairly certain that both of these were once my grandmother's. I have a special place in my heart for A Girl of the Limberlost.
There are so many great badass heroines, I couldn't chose just one. Jane, Scout, Katniss, Elnora, Offred, and Turtle are all badass in their own way. #MostBadassHeroine #riotgrams
Here are all #Girlinthetitle books I have on Kindle. I didn't realize how many I had. So I took a screen pic and played with a bunch of the stickers here on Litsy. 😬 #ReadJanuary #genestrattonporterismymomsfavauthor so I should read her sooner.
God, Elnora's mother, Mrs. Comstock, is THE WORST. So freaking hateful. #worstparent #octphotochallenge @LibrarianRyan
I practically drool over the descriptions of Elnora's lovely lunchbox and the scrumptious delicacies packed inside. 😄🍎🍗🍴 #booksthatmademehungry #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept #day18
So, I would wager that about 85% of our collection of books are used, so here's our biggest shelf. My super handy husband dude built this for us last winter, and I lurrrrrve it. #bookphotochallenge #shelfie #augustofpages #usedbooks
It's #recommendsday and I've been thinking about rereading this one recently. This is a go to favorite from my childhood AND is in the public domain! Features: strong female characters, gorgeous nature writing, a little bit of heartbreak and a whole lot of figuring out what's important in life. Recommended for fans of: Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, or outdoorsy people. Fantastic family book ("wholesome") that I still love as an adult.
Thanks to @Avidreader25 I'm on the lookout for my copy of this book I loved so much in middle school. I'm hoping my mom still has it. If not, I'll be scouring my bookshelves this weekend.
pickAn absolutely wonderful read. I thought this one would be boring, but the main character is a fiery, independent girl. She's a bit like Anne of Green Gables, but a little more of an outsider. A truly wonderful coming-of-age story.
