The wonderful Gina at The Shabby Creek Cottage is doing her #75soft framework again. I'm going to do this and thought I would share it. It starts on Monday and runs until Halloween. 🎃

I'm trying to sneak a little #hyggehour every day if you would like to join me.

SEPTEMBER #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2025

Banned Book Edition

All welcome

Yes I know this is currently author a month didn‘t know that when I put out schedule in October of 2024

One of my most beloved Judy Blume moments with students happen when I read this book with or aloud to students of ALL AGES. They ADORE it. In my 36 years of volunteering at the public school I have never found this book in any school library.

@Cuilin and I had so much fun reading the entire Sherlock Holmes canon that we'd like to continue on with some pastiches! This will be an extremely relaxed group, reading a book maybe once a month or every other month. Once we see if anyone's interested, we'll have more info down the road.

Tagging all who were in #NoPlaceLikeHolmes, but ANY and ALL are welcome! 🤗

I‘m not sure about this one. I tend to avoid short stories. I never like them. But maybe because they are connected I‘ll be okay. lol we are skipping White Sand. It‘s only short, but there‘s something about where it fits into the Cosmere. We will read it later. This reading order has worked so far, so I‘m going to trust it. #CosmereBuddyRead

The #ClassicLSFBC selection for August is Ursula LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness. I've read this not long ago, so I'll probably pass on the reread, but those who haven't read it are in for a treat.

September's choice is Galactic Pot Healer by Philip K. Dick. It was a tie between this and Software, so I flipped a coin and GPH won. Happy reading everyone!!

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead So, I had talked about us reading the 400-ish-page-long novel-in-verse Aurora Leigh after we read Emily Climbs. Ultimately I decided I have enough on my plate and am not that ambitious right now. 😂 BUT, after seeing references to “The Alhambra“ in Emily of New Moon (+ LMM has talked about it in her journals), I thought that might be a fun one to add. Who's in?

It‘s now August so that means it‘s time for one of our #PersephoneClub reads!

@LeahBergen ‘s pick (my pick!) for us this month is Hetty Dorval by Ethel Wilson. This is a casual buddy read; read and comment on each other‘s posts and reviews as you see them. We usually aim to finish by the middle of the month but that‘s not written in stone. 😉 And anyone is welcome to read along with us, of course!
