The Immaculate Conception | Ga?tan Soucy

So I looked at the solutions to the clues on Reddit (generally someone has them there by the third ones) and was on the fence about Original Daughter. Of course I got it! 😂😂 Four from #botm plus three from #aardvark plus whatever I buy at Parnassus today. (I already have three staff picks I like.) 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I‘ve lost my mind in the best possible way!!!!

Moon of the Turning Leaves | Waubgeshig Rice

1. My whole house is a library. 😂 LibraryThing says I have 18,346 physical books but that‘s a little high since I‘m trying to rehome some (although this count doesn‘t include my husband‘s books, so maybe it‘s not too far wrong).

2. I was pretty much guaranteed to like this one because I loved the first one. This one wasn‘t quite as amazing but still good.

@TheSpineView

No Great Mischief | Alistair MacLeod

Here's pic 2/3 of my epic used book sale haul. Mostly lit fic and canlit. I'm excited for all of it tbh but especially the Helen Humphreys.
And yes, this does totally blow my tbr reduction goals out of the water but who cares. #noregrets

The Mangan Inheritance | Brian Moore

pick

I bought this because I enjoyed another one by him that we read with the #NYRB group a few years ago. Now I finally picked it up and I wasn‘t disappointed. It‘s dark and a bit gothic and very Irish (I think). Jamie Mangan is traveling to Ireland to delve into his past and to learn is he‘s a descendant of a famous 19th century Irish poet. His journey takes him to a small village with lots of remarkable people.

LeeRHarry, sarahbarnes

Ruthiella I feel like I must read at least this book from him before I die

The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

monalyisha Which of his did you read with the group? This one sounds up my alley! 4d

LeeRHarry I loved the tagged so good to hear that this one is good too. I didn‘t like The Doctor‘s Wife by this author.

The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

(edited) 4d

BarbaraBB @Ruthiella @monalyisha @LeeRHarry that‘s the one I am referring too, it was such a good (and fun) read!

The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

sarahbarnes Now I must read this! And I didn‘t realize this is the same person who wrote the book others are tagging here, which is also on my TBR! 4d

Rilla of Ingleside: A Virago Modern Classic | L. M. Montgomery

Calling all Kindred Spirits! We‘ll be continuing the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead with an #LMMReread of Rilla of Ingleside, then an #LMMAdjacent title: Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter (a contemporary of LMM and a fellow author who published with the nefarious L.C. Page Co.). The schedule is above—all are welcome! Please comment if you‘d like to be tagged for either or both books.

CogsOfEncouragement I‘ll skip a reread of Rilla, but look forward to reading Pollyanna for the first time. I watched the 1960 movie starring Hayley Mills a couple times as a kid and absolutely loved it. 5d

BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve never read Pollyanna, either! I‘m looking forward to my first read, too. 5d

CSeydel I‘ve read Pollyanna, but although I‘ve owned Rilla of Ingleside since the 80s (and kept it through how many moves) — I‘ve actually never read it! Maybe I‘ll join you guys 5d

Daisey It‘s been so long since I reread Rilla; I‘ll try to fit that one in May! 5d

TheAromaofBooks I am definitely in for rereading both of these. Rilla is possibly my favorite LMM book. (Okay, maybe not; it's actually kind of impossible to choose 😂) I love Pollyanna as well, although in some ways the Hayley Mills version ruined the book for me because it's so hard to see the characters as anything other than the way they were cast in that book, despite them not being completely accurate. 😆 4d

rubyslippersreads I‘d be glad if you‘d tag me for Pollyanna. 😄 4d

rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks I ❤️ the Hayley Mills movie, though. 4d

julieclair Please tag me for Pollyanna. Can‘t believe I‘ve never read it! 4d

TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - I love the movie, too - but usually I can separate movie/book when they aren't particularly alike and just have them be two different stories in my mind. But for some reason the individuals from that movie INSIST on being the imagined book-characters in my mind 😂 It's not as bad in the first book, but in later books Pollyanna and Jimmy get married, and trying to reconcile Haley marrying Kevin Corcoran has been a struggle 😆 4d
