It has two kittens.

It‘s Jesusy. Which for all intents & purposes is an adjective.

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - House of Dreams Discussion - 4/3!

I completely forgot I added a short story to our House of Dreams read! Captain Jim and his life-book are based on LMM‘s story, “The Life-Book of Uncle Jesse.” Here‘s a link to the story:
https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1909-1922/21/

It reads like a preliminary sketch that LMM fleshed out in House of Dreams. If you have a chance to read it, please share your thoughts!

kwmg40 I'd forgotten too! I'll try to get to this in the next few days and return to this thread. 3w
TheAromaofBooks I enjoyed this short story, that somehow I don't ever remember reading before. However, it's definitely been written almost completely into House of Dreams. I think it's SO fascinating how LMM would take her short stories and weave them into her novels. This one is in the “Along the Shore“ collection, so I think I'm going to read the rest of the shorts in that book as well. 3w

Published in 2008, the info is so outdated that there is no mention of iPhones. However, it was interesting to skim through as a hindsight read.

7/80

Home Is Not a Country | Safia Elhillo
post image
Pickpick

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Written in prose, home is not a country is a poignant & moving book about finding yourself & loving yourself. It's about making your life, despite the imperfections, 100% your own. And therein living it without dismay over what could have been & instead simply being proud of who you are & grateful for what is.

Can NOT recommend this book highly enough! (Even the acknowledgement section at the end made me cry. This book was just THAT good.)
