One last book for #FoodAndLit #Canada

I got on an Anne of Green Gables kick last month and wanted to fit one last one in this year.

Texreader That‘s awesome!! 2d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! This is usually considered one of the weaker books in the series, but I love all the little adventures of Anne living at Patty's Place! 2d
Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks I like it too. I like seeing Anne branch out on her own 2d

There are a lot of repeated themes and plot devices in these stories, but I think that's forgivable, since LM Montgomery didn't write them to be read together, but instead as freelance writing for various publications. Overall, it's a sweet collection and perfect for a cold night on a warm couch.

Next up for #KindredSpritsChristmas is Uncle Richard‘s New Year‘s Dinner. Another family feud is ended when Prissy secretly goes to her estranged uncle‘s house & cooks his New Year‘s dinner while he is at work. Classic LMM. 80 points

“I'd love to be friends with you,“ she said slowly. “I've often thought I'd like to know you. Isn't it odd that we have the same name? It was so nice of you to come and see me. I—I'd love to have you come often.“

Aw—such a sweet story of a mixup that leads to a kind deed and a future friendship. Also: Josie Pye!! ? ⤵️

CogsOfEncouragement lol Right? I‘m sure it is quite a chore to continually come up with unique names! I enjoyed this sweet story of kindness. 5d
lauraisntwilder They were discussing the "other" Ida Mtchell and I thought, if only they had an idea of the other Josie Pye! 4d
BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve often thought about that with LMM‘s short stories, wondering how she chose all the names! @lauraisntwilder Oh, my—yes!! Now you have me thinking: what if LMM had written a story in which this Josie Pye was that Josie Pye and had the name mixup. A very different story indeed. 😂 4d
rubyslippersreads Was the Josie Pye in AOGG the evil twin of the one in this story? 4d

“She had planned to spend a nice, lazy holiday with the new book her father had given her at Christmas and a box of candy.”

Those sound like FANTASTIC plans for New Year‘s Day, and I feel that “regretful peep” at her book!! But I love the plan to brighten someone‘s New Year, anonymously—with such a wonderful result. ⤵️

TheAromaofBooks This one was just adorable. And no good deed is done without a twinge of the selfish one that could have been 😂 5d
BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder The perfect New Year's Day plan! I mean, unless you have an estranged uncle to cook for, in which case, do that. 😂 @CogsOfEncouragement It was such a relatable situation! @TheAromaofBooks So true!! 5d
lauraisntwilder @BarbaraJean No estranged uncles! 😜 4d
