March | Geraldine Brooks
post image

Here‘s my March recap. It was a great reading month & I finished 23 books! (Including 5 audiobooks, 19 fiction, 4 NF, many genres, several children‘s & classics)

I read for #SundayBuddyRead #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #AuthorAMonth #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #SheSaid #RiseUpReads #JaneAustenThenAndNow #BookedInTime #FoodAndLit #Roll100 #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #MonthlyNonFiction #SeriesLove2025 & #AuldLangSpine #SeriesLove2025 ⬇️

DebinHawaii …My favorites of the month were The Frozen River, Nettle and Bone, Kills Well With Others, Not That Bad, All Systems Read & Pride and Prejudice (reread for the zillionth time) & The Great Gatsby (hadn‘t read since high school) was a surprise winner. Lots of series books too—including both the 1940 & 1976 versions of our monthly Nancy Drew title. (edited) 9h

Thanks to @TheBookHippie and #ChildrensClassicRead2025 for reminding me that I had this sweet (tagged) book waiting on my shelves. And, as others have mentioned, the illustrations are gorgeous!

I always pick up these New York Review Children‘s Collection editions when I spot them in used bookshops.

TheBookHippie I do too!!! I love these little books!! 10h
merelybookish Me too!! I found one a few weeks ago: The Lost Island. 10h

April #childrensclassicread2025

I enjoyed this sweet little story of Mary and her mouse house but mostly I enjoyed the illustrations, they felt very nostalgic for my childhood reading days.

tpixie The illustrations were so lovely! Yes- nostalgic 🩷🩵🩷 1d

Such a cute book with adorable illustrations! 🐭 🏡
I finally read an archive book that @TheBookHippie shared the link of.
It‘s much easier to read on my computer than my phone. 🤩
I love the library card 🩵
Juniata College Library is now named L A Beeghly Library & Juniata College was founded in 1876 by members of the Church of the Brethren.

#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.

DieAReader 💖💖💖 6d
TheBookHippie It is not my favorite of hers but like you some of the passages I really enjoyed! 6d
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? 😊 6d

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Tonight‘s #HyggeHour is being spent with Marigold. Trying to finish this one for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 March. My drink is coconut tea & my snack is a haupia (coconut) cupcake. (Which is yum!) 😋

My mood is a little tired & wishing the weekend was longer as it will be another busy work week ahead.

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

My #HyggeHour is being spent with the tagged book that I saw on @TieDyeDude ‘s post & my library had. It works for #FoodAndLit #Ireland & looks adorable so I was happy my library had it. I‘m also going to start Magic For Marigold for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 I‘m also watching the new Shonda Rhimes series The Residence which is fun so far, drinking tea & having a couple cream soda Dum-Dums.

Not too excited ⬇️

DebinHawaii … that tomorrow is Monday & it‘s another busy week ahead with 2 trips to Hilo & the world at large (especially our country) continues to be a s@#% show, but otherwise I am okay. 😬 I do appreciate this #Hygge wind-down time on Sundays before the madness starts. 2w
TheBookHippie Shit show indeed… I like the pause as well. 2w
AllDebooks @DebinHawaii I'm so glad it helps reset you for tge week ahead. Honestly, I find it a real sanity saver. I've started incorporating it into routine on really stressful days. Even 10-15 minutes helps. 😊 2w

kspenmoll Deb, I hope last night‘s hygiene hour reset you for the week? It certainly helps me helps me with perspective and distressing. I hope this week with all its craziness gives you moments where you can breathe and feel calm. 2w

White Stallion of Lipizza | Marguerite Henry
post image

It was wonderful re- visiting a favorite childhood author. I have saved a couple of her books- oh my, could they be 50 years old?!. ( Stormy still has the cover paper!)
Sadly, I can‘t find my Misty of Chincoteague.
Thanks @TheBookHippie for a walk down memory lane. Now to start March‘s book! #ChildrensClassicRead2025

TheBookgeekFrau Thank you for the blast from the past memories! Between me and my best friend the Misty, and Stormy books were on constant rotation in and out of the school library ☺️ 1mo
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau yes! Such sweet stories!! I‘ve always wanted to go to Chincoteague! As a child I wanted to go, but I didn‘t want my heart to be broken that my parents wouldn‘t buy me a pony. As an adult, I was afraid to go with my children and say no to them! ( and myself! ) 1mo

@Daisey reminded me of this book about rescuing the Lipizzans. Here is a Disney movie about it as well. - Based on another book, My Dancing White Horses by Colonial Podhajsky
