The Plague | Albert Camus

“Упродовж історії було стільки ж епідемій, скільки й війн; та все одно вони щоразу застають людей зненацька”.
— Альбер Камю, «Чума»

«Те, що правдиве для всіх лих у світі, правдиве і для чуми: вона змушує людей перевершувати самих себе».
— Чума

«Єдиний спосіб боротися з чумою — це порядність».
— Альбер Камю «Чума»

Emily of New Moon | Lucy Maud Montgomery

Juxtapositions like these are one of the reasons I‘m so enjoying reading LMM‘s journals alongside a re-read of her books!

Top: quote from Aug. 4, 1923 — just weeks before Emily of New Moon was published

TheAromaofBooks I am really interested to see what connections we find between Emily and LMM (and later - Pat and LMM) 1h

Hello to my fellow #DoorstopKristin #KLBR readers! Next week, we‘ll be discussing book one: The Wreath. I finished it over the weekend and—ooof! It‘s SO good but emotionally rough! I hope your reading is going well, and I look forward to hearing everyone‘s thoughts next week.

Emily of New Moon | Lucy Maud Montgomery

I was really excited about re-reading Emily of New Moon by listening to this audiobook narrated by Megan Follows. Until I saw it‘s abridged. 😭 Maybe I‘ll read it in print and then go back afterwards to listen and see what they cut out. #LMMReread #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead

TheBookHippie Oh dear. 9h

lauraisntwilder ☹️ I see no reason for this book to have been abridged. 9h

BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie I‘m SO disappointed! @lauraisntwilder Right?!? How could Megan Follows be part of this kind of travesty?! 9h

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean it makes no sense. 8h

willaful Good grief! It's hardly a super long book! 6h

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) | J.K. Rowling

I always have something in my ears when I go to sleep, & while I've read the HP series multiple times, I've never listened to them. I'm slowly making my way through Jim Dale's narration, sometimes no more than 15 minutes a night before I drop off to sleep. This is one of my favorite series, so all books are 5 ⭐ for me.
