Jane's Country Year: The Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld Collection | Malcolm Saville

Oh @LeahBergen what a wonderful parcel! Well worth the wait! 😉 Thank you so much! Thrilled with the books! (So pleased to have a Handheld Books edition as I eyed them for years but never purchased one!) Love the card, the post card, the bookmark, the whole kit'n'caboodle. ☺️ And curious if you would recommend visiting Mankato?

Crinoline_Laphroaig I loved visiting Mankato a few years ago! 3h

rubyslippersreads I‘ve visited Mankato a couple of times. You can tour Betsy‘s and Tacy‘s houses, and sit on the Friendship Bench. It‘s a pilgrimage for #BetsyTacy fans. 3h

A Bear Called Paddington | Michael Bond

It's #threelistthursday on Saturday! 😛

These are my three favorites from the list. I don't remember most of what I read as a child, so my number very well could be much higher. I also don't consider LOTR as children's books, but i liked it, so I won't complain.
One thing about lists like this is that good books are overlooked for multiples in a series or theme. I'd just bundle Harry Potter & the Moomins together to highlight others.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'm a little surprised Madeline and Strega Nona aren't listed. I also lived The Monster at the End of the Book with Sesame Street's Grover, but that feels more American. Some of these are on my TBR, so perhaps the number will grow. @dabbe 6d

dabbe Agree 💯! A series should count as one and done, leaving room for so many other wonderful works. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 6d

Singout Me too re bundles! When I was in England, many years ago, I took a picture of Paddington Station just for my mom. She got all choked up. 4d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Singout I only just read three book a couple of years ago and I loved it. It was such a delight. I found a box set of the full series and hope to make my way through it this year or next. 3d

The Witches | Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake

I have several large memory gaps from childhood, so this was hard to answer! This is my best recollection.

My favorite is The Witches by Roald Dahl. My 4th grade teacher read this to her class every year. She had an epic, powerful Grand High Witch voice. I remember hearing it echo down the hall in 3rd grade & hoping that I'd get Mrs. Abrams the next year. I liked reading before her class - I LOVED it after.

Snow Day | Richard Curtis

PSA: This is NOT book related. 😂

This is the view from my front porch this morning…8 inches here in North Alabama.
I know, I know…but this is a BIG DEAL for us southerners, folks. 😳🤍☃️

I always forget how silent and peaceful the world is after a snowfall. ❄️❤️

Tamra 🤔 This is where Minnesota‘s snow went - I think it got delivered to the wrong address. 😂 (edited) 1w

julesG @Tamra Someone mixed up post codes? 1w

Cuilin @Tamra @julesG we‘re also missing some snow in New England. I can see green grass. 🤔 7d

Tamra @julesG 🤣🤣 I think so! Someone has swapped weather packages. 7d

Tamra @Cuilin right?! 🤪 second year in a row. 7d

robinb 🤣🤣🤣 If you‘d like it to be “returned to sender” in a couple of days, we can arrange that. Love the snow👍🏼, the slush… not so much. 👎 (edited) 7d

julesG 🤣🤣 7d

Tamra @robinb 🤣🤣 👍🏾 good one! 7d

KathyWheeler So pretty! We just have nasty, cold rain in south Alabama. 7d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yes!! 🙌🏻 7d

TheBookgeekFrau 8ins of snow is a pretty big deal; but Alabama 😯 Wow! 7d

robinb @TheBookgeekFrau Exactly! 😳 7d

kspenmoll We have basically no snow so far this winter- maybe 2 inches so far here in CT- I never thought I ‘d say I miss the snow, but I do! 6d

robinb @kspenmoll Oh wow! This will probably be with us a few days. Even after some melting we‘re having refreezing overnight until the temps moderate. It‘s always a nice surprise for us. 😊 6d
