#Bibliophile Day 15: #AbtAdoption #AboutAdoption of a stray fur friend who finds his humans and adopts them in turn.

Hello #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead-ers! I‘m looking at a tentative schedule for the next few months:

Beautiful Joe by Marshall Saunders (2 weeks)
Journals Vol. 5 (2 weeks)
Emily of New Moon (3 weeks)
Story of an African Farm by Olive Schreiner (3 weeks)
Journals Vol. 5 (3 weeks)
Emily Climbs (3 weeks)
“The Lay of the Brown Rosary” & Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (4 weeks)

THAT takes us to mid-October & finishes Vol. 5 of the journals.⤵️

I‘m not crying, you‘re crying.

I love how Jack comes to understand, write, and appreciate poetry. This is a super quick read, but have tissues handy.

1) Currently 2 cats, Kali & Dahlia, the most neurotic cats I‘ve ever had and our pug, Merry Pippin. Over the years I think we had everything at one time or another except snakes. Hard no from mom on that one. Fish (piranha, fresh and saltwater), rodents (hamsters, gerbils & a guinea pig), a bearded dragon lizard, a bird, turtles, numerous cats & dogs.
2) Both but more fiction

This was not my favorite. It was incredibly predictable.
