Magic for Marigold | L.M. Montgomery

#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.

A darkish totally gray cloud morning. Perfect for hot blueberry scone , clotted cream & coffee. Off to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford for a cafe lunch & to view Divine Geometry: Islamic Art at the Wadsworth Atheneum.

TheKidUpstairs Sounds like a lovely day, enjoy! 19h

Pickpick

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is an author from Canada.In this book of prose fragments&poetry she explores decolonisation,resistance&healing.”You see, tragedy happened again. The details don‘t matter because details are hopeless, overwhelmed, shut down.”
The painting is by Clemence Wescoupe(Anishnaabe/Ojibwe),1975.I saw the exhibition on the Woodland Artists today.After two tough weeks&no end in sight this book&the paintings brought some solace.

"You'd need the population of 123 million planet Earths to have a large enough population for it to be likely that two people share the same DNA profile"
This crime was unsolved for 30 years until genetic genealogy traced the DNA to a suspect.
Although it's closing ice cold cases I was surprised to learn the war between the leaders of the genealogy community involving privacy concerns. The evolution of DNA genealogy depicted was fascinating

I really enjoyed this fantasy novel about a dragon slayer and his bard. It's different in that it is set in modern-day Southwestern Ontario and is an alternate history novel with political and historical events explained in the context of fossil-fuel consuming dragons.

Just wanted to put this out to those who are participating (or thinking of) - is there a particular genre you'd like to read next and if you like voting on the next pick or would rather I just pick one book? I'm happy to go any way - want to pick books that people are interested in reading! I was thinking another historical fiction for the next read and then maybe something lighter in the summer. Always love hearing from you all 😊!

kwmg40 I don‘t have any particular preferences and will be happy with whatever is chosen. Being Canadian myself, I‘ve read a lot of Canadian books but I don‘t mind rereading I book I‘ve enjoyed before if one is selected. 3d
Jess861 @kwmg40 Awesome - thank you so much for the feedback 😊!! (edited) 3d
lauraisntwilder I don't know enough about Canadian literature, really, so I'm happy to go along with the group. 3d

Ruthiella Like @CarolynM I‘m here for the discovery! If you want to mix it up with genre, it‘d be fine with me. I want to expand my knowledge of CanLit. 3d
