Repost for @BarkingMadRead

Ok #hashtagbridade you have voted and here are the winners! I tried to make sure we are only reading a chapter a day so a few of the start dates are a little weird, we may be able to play around with it as we go, but here are the winning books!

Everyone is welcome. You will only be tagged if you for each book if you reply to each announcement.

BarkingMadRead Thank you for sharing! 5d

Lark Rise to Candleford (Penguin Modern Classics) | Flora Thompson

Ok #hashtagbrigade you have voted and here are the winners! I tried to make sure we are only reading a chapter a day, so a few of the start dates are a little weird, we may be able to play around with it as we go, but here are the winning books! I‘m super excited about this line up!!!
Everyone is welcome! I have a master list that I will use before we start each book, and will only tag you for each book if you reply to each announcement.. ⬇️

BarkingMadRead Just remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read the post until you‘ve read that day‘s chapter! 6d

Daisey I completely forgot to vote, but I‘m looking forward to some of these choices! 6d

AllDebooks Great books to look forward to 😊 6d

Ruthiella Awesome! Call wait. 😅 6d

Deblovestoread Great list! I‘m going to do better in 2025 🤞🏼 6d

Librarybelle Great list! Looking forward to these!! 6d

eeclayton Great list! I was absent for most of this year's books, but hopefully I'll be able to join you much more in 2025. 6d

Bookwormjillk Love this list! Thank you! 5d

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead I think I asked to be removed from your master tag list, but it looks like you haven‘t and I‘m glad. Because I‘ve changed my mind, keep me on your list and I‘ll see what I can work into my list. A couple are free on Audible and I‘ve put a library hold on The Bell Jar. But I may decide to read a book all at once rather than a chapter a day. That seems to be less overwhelming. 5d

AnneCecilie I would love to join for some of these 5d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 ohhh I‘m sorry, I probably removed you from the current list instead of the master! 5d

BarkingMadRead @AnneCecilie I‘ll add you to the master list, you‘ll only be tagged before we start each book, unless you ask to be tagged for the book we are currently reading, if that makes sense 🤣 5d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 you should definitely read at whatever pace works best for you! (edited) 5d

AnneCecilie Thank you 😊 that‘s make sense 5d

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead It‘s okay. ❤️ Please make sure I‘m on the master list. And if anyone can remember the product for which the tagline was “It‘s a woman‘s prerogative to change her mind,” it will be appreciated. 5d

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! There are some good ones/ones I've been meaning to read here!! 5d

TheAromaofBooks However, I cannot believe I am already saving things in my Litsy 2025 folder 😑 Where is time going!? 5d

mcctrish Love it and I can‘t wait #toptierhashtags 5d

Cuilin Fabulous list. Some I haven‘t read at all. Yay!! 5d

BarkingMadRead @JacqMac let me know if you‘d like to be on the master list. I tag everyone on that list once a month, to see if they want to be tagged daily for the next book 5d

News from Thrush Green | Miss Read

A couple of my current vintage reads.

The Golden Collar (originally published in 1955 as The Smith‘s Hoard and then as Hidden Gold) is a children‘s holiday story. A brother and sister go to spend some time at their great aunt‘s house and end up finding an Iron Age hoard. I‘m always down for a good hoard!

Cathythoughts These look great Leah 👍🏻♥️ 8mo

lazydaizee Nice book covers. 8mo

jlhammar Both sound wonderful. Love those vintage covers. 8mo

Tamra Sweet! 8mo

Ruthiella So pretty! 😍 And who doesn‘t like a story about finding hidden treasure? I was fascinated by archeology as a kid. (edited) 8mo

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m into very light reads of late. 😆 8mo

LeahBergen @lazydaizee @jlhammar @Tamra 😘😘😘 8mo

LeahBergen @Ruthiella I was, too! I would‘ve loved this one as a kid. 8mo

SayersLover Yay! Miss Read is so restful! @LeahBergen 8mo

Thrush Green | Miss Read

I‘ve read quite a few (7 or 8?) of Miss Read‘s Fairacre novels but this is my first foray into the Thrush Green series. It‘s quiet and charming and I‘m enjoying it immensely!

squirrelbrain Oh I used to love the Miss Read books when I was younger! They had loads of them in our teeny tiny village library. 10mo

rubyslippersreads Believe it or not, I haven‘t read Miss Read. Your lovely copies are inspiring me, though. 10mo

Tamra So pretty. 😊 10mo

MemoirsForMe Beautiful photo and editions! 10mo

Cathythoughts Ah that‘s so nice 🥰 10mo

LeahBergen @squirrelbrain They‘re such gentle (non-stressful 😆) reads! 10mo

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads You‘ll have to try one soon! They‘re VERY light but enjoyable. 10mo

LeahBergen @Tamra @TrishB @Aimeesue @UwannaPublishme @Cathythoughts Thanks, all! 😘😘 10mo

This is a beautifully illustrated novella about an old woman looking back to a best-loved Christmas of her Edwardian-era childhood. A delightful (and melancholy) little read.

Tamra Sounds and looks lovely. 💜 11mo

BarbaraJean Those endpapers! 😍 11mo

batsy Sounds delightful! 11mo

#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read any Miss Read, but would love to. 11mo

LeahBergen I do love Miss Read but her novels are all much more simple and of the “cozy village life” sort than Pym. I‘m trying to say it without sounding snobbish or disparaging but Pym is way more “literary”. 😆 But I read and love them both! 11mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen Love your explanation! 11mo
