#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - Magic for Marigold discussion part 4
What about the male friendships/acquaintances in Marigold‘s life: Hip, Billy, and Budge—even “Johnsy.” How do they contribute to Marigold‘s growth?
#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - Magic for Marigold discussion part 3
What do you make of Marigold‘s lack of stable, close female friendship—and the way this is contrasted with Sylvia?
What role do you think friendships play in childhood growth and development? What role does imagination play?
#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - Magic for Marigold discussion part 2
There is a lot of strong female influence in Marigold‘s life. What positive or negative aspects of female power do you see portrayed by the female characters (either children or adults)?
#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - Magic for Marigold discussion part 1
There‘s not a strong plot here, but what do you think of Marigold as a character?
Is her growth throughout the novel realistic or relatable to you?
Made my way a bit into this month's #kindredspiritsbuddyread, which I've been neglecting terribly. I think it's my first time with this one, and I'm enjoying it.
The #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead of Magic for Marigold will be this coming Saturday, June 25th. All are welcome—let me know if you‘re not tagged and you‘d like to be! I‘ll post questions around mid-afternoon Pacific Time.
I‘m only halfway through the book, but I‘m loving Marigold‘s adventures so much. How is everyone else‘s reading going?

I had a great reading week.
Still reading the tagged #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
I finished both Don‘t Touch My Hair and the book about butterflies.
I read both Pet and There But For The.
Now off to find something new to read 😊
“Long, long ago—when she was only five and a half—Marigold had horrified her family…by saying in her nightly prayer, ‘Thank you, dear God, for ‘ranging it so that nobody knows what I think.‘ Since then Marigold had learned worldly wisdom and did not say things like that out loud—in her prayers. But she continued to think privately that God was very wise and good in making thoughts exclusively your own.”

I‘m off to a bit of a late start for this month‘s #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead! Which oldie edition should I read? 🤔
It's been a long time since I read this one but this month's #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead encouraged me to reread it. This one is a light pick and reading it again reminded me of why it was one I felt rather ambivalent about. The book is episodic, with each chapter its own little adventure of Marigold's. They were fun little stories but there isn't really an overarching plot to tie them together other than Marigold needing a friend. Considering ⬇️
Well as you can see from my #WeeklyForecast picture, the windowsill is full again! I know I say this every week, but I am still genuinely excited about every book here!! I actually finished Book Lovers yesterday and decided to send Book of Night back to the library unread since it looks like it ends on a cliffhanger and is going to be a series. That leaves Something Wilder as my only non-TBR book here, so hopefully this week's reading will ⬇️

I started the tagged book #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
I read Sunday Morning Coming Down and The Dangers of Smoking in Bed
I‘m currently reading Consent, about butterflies in Stockholm‘s skerries and Young Mungo. Some of these are moving along faster than others.
#WeeklyForecast
The tagged book is June‘s book with #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead so I‘ll start in a few days.
I‘ve started the short story collection by Enriquez
I‘ve also started Sunday Morning Coming Down.
A short forecast this week since I‘m not sure what I‘ll pick up afterwards, guess I have to see where the mood takes me.
I was up quite late, reading for the #WinterStormReadathon, so it was a slow start to this Sunday. A languorous shower to wake me up, a few chores around the house, & then a favourite respite of spelt wheat toast, cream cheese, avocado, & cherry tomatoes, with a twist of salt & crack of pepper. After I read for a bit, I‘ll bundle up & do a quick walk around the neighbourhood. Sunday walks are one of those simple pleasures I always look forward to.

It took thirty years for me to catch on but growing things is magic and I officially have a new hobby. This year I am trying my luck with flowers, already thinking about what kind of food I want to grow next year. #gardening
