so-soThis was a reread for #kindredspiritsbuddyread. When I read through the series in 2023, I went in the order the books take place. In publication order, this one joins up with the others a little better. However, I still had the same overall feeling as before. I miss the Avonlea characters and I miss the more determined Anne. The "Dick Moore" storyline makes me uncomfortable. Gilbert and Anne take a backseat to Jim and Cornelia. Just don't love it.
so-so3✨ This did not capture me as much as Anne of Green Gables did, but it still had a lot of dialogue providing food for thought. I really like that she made connections with others that use their imagination to survive the sad and painful parts of life. #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Here is my February #BookSpinBingo - thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks -
Make a great day everyone 💗
pickRead this for the second time #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
It has been more than ten years, so all the details were as fresh, surprising, and emotional as the first time. I adore this series. Glad to revisit it.
My husband not only left our nice warm bed to make me breakfast, he did so when he was just at the part where Gamache explains the murder. Greater love hath no man!
Amen, Armand. Amen. @Bookwormjillk you were right about it taking off. I‘m hooked on this one and already lost my disappointment from the last.
Hello, Kindred Spirits! The #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead is currently reading Anne‘s House of Dreams for #LMMRereads & we‘ll read The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett for #LMMAdjacent from Feb. 2-15. After that, our schedule is TBD! I have a bunch of potential adjacent reads that I‘ve noted down as I‘ve been reading LMM‘s journals, so I thought I‘d put up a poll to see what others are interested in. The link is in the comments! ⤵️
rubyslippersreads, Daisey, LeahBergen, JenlovesJT47, CogsOfEncouragement, lauraisntwilder, kwmg40, TheAromaofBooks, Roary47, julieclairpickVery interesting fiction about the history of Canada and the prairies specifically in the early 20th century. Memory and loss and longing are explored in a very subtle way
A little #BookHaul from my morning in Manchester, and a visit to the Queer Lit bookshop. I hope to read these all in the first quarter of 2025. Well, I can dream, can't I? 🤔💭🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

I hope everyone who has had a chance to start is enjoying Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese!
For our next read, I thought we could pick from two Lori Lansens books. I feel she is a less known Canadian author. These are two of my favourite books by her. Please feel free to look up each book and vote (if you want) on the one you'd like to read.
