A reminder for the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead-ers who are following along with the #LMMJournals: this coming week (Nov. 24-30) we‘ll be picking up the journals again for just one week, before we dive into LMM‘s Christmas stories.
On Saturday 11/30, we‘ll discuss July 14, 1913 - March 12, 1916 from Volume 3 of LMM‘s Complete Journals. Looking forward to it!
so-soA good realistic book about family problems. Personally, I think its kind of mid and not really my taste. It ends on a cliffhanger which wasn't that pleasant, if the book is going to be mid why add a cliffhanger? It just makes it worse. 💙
Use this book to help students imagine life as a colonial settler by writing their own diary entries.
so-soRemember Patience Whipple writes about her journey on the Mayflower and life in the Plymouth Colony.
pickAlways in print since 1930, this novel details a year in the life of a lady who lunches and is now and then amongst ladies who lunch better. It's different than the usual English novel about class because it's set in the English countryside rather than London, and in a upper class house instead of a manor. It's a glimpse into the past about tea things but also the calm with which parents intentionally drown kittens while the kids are away.
pickNonfiction - published in 1947. Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank‘s remarkable diary has become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit.

pick4/5 🌟
This novel explores womanhood and motherhood through the eyes of a woman who secretly keeps a diary. Writing late at night, she's anxious that her family might find it, feeling ashamed of her private thoughts. As she journals, she begins to question her values, family dynamics, and sense of self.
A thought-provoking and engaging read.
