I didn't get out on Small Business Saturday to support my local indie, so I treated myself to some new audiobooks and tossed them a little support via libro.fm.

A friend from high school passed away a couple of months ago. A week before he died, he asked for book recs. He never got around to mine, but he said he had read The Wind in the Willows a few times. I'll honor his upcoming birthday by finally reading it.

Bookwormjillk That‘s a lovely idea ❤️ 4mo
TheBookHippie Beautiful. It‘s one of my all time favorite reads. 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau What a great way to honor someone 💕 4mo
batsy That's a lovely idea. And it's a brilliant book, one of my favourites. 4mo

Kind of surprised it's classified as a children's classic. A glance at Wikipedia suggests Kenneth Grahame may have been writing from life, and while it's more focused on good and bad qualities of the individual than commentary on society as a whole, thematically it feels more directed towards an older reader. Wistful, beautiful writing clashing with one too many chapters dealing with a narcissistic, near sociopathic Toad. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality It feels less like the Toad has a character arc, and more like they finally successfully forced redemption on him in the last few pages. I would very much rather have continued with the 'and they were roommates' 😉 vibes of Mole and Rat, or even the activities of the relatable curmudgeon of Badger. 9mo

Just as wonderful as I remembered. Witty and whimsical, the perfect read for an afternoon curled up on the sofa, feeling rotten with bronchitis! Cheered me up no end. So lovely on friendship and the joys of nature… the riverbank seems a pretty idyllic place to be.

As I had to wait for the second-hand bookshop to open, I whiled away some time looking in a charity shop, where I picked up a copy of WitW, which is a glaring hole in my reading record. I also popped into Action Records, where I found Belle and Sebastian's latest, an old Beck disc of remixes from his Guero album, and a compilation of Courtney Barnett EPs 🐸🐀📗💿
#BooksAndMusic

Ruthiella I also only first encountered TWitW as an adult, and I really loved it. Hope you do too! 13mo
Bookwomble @Ruthiella I've seen many of the film and TV adaptations, so I feel I'm on safe ground 😊 Perhaps we can sometimes have a different or deeper appreciation of a classic children's story when we first find it as an adult 😌 13mo
dabbe Glaring hole for me, too! Thanks for the reminder! 😊 13mo

TieDyeDude Nice! The Courtney Barnett EP set is great, I love her music! I've never read WitW either. I don't shy away from children's books as an adult, though. If they're good, it should matter what age you read them at ☺️ 13mo
LeahBergen That‘s a great little edition of WitW! 13mo
Bookwomble @TieDyeDude I've listened to quite a lot of her music online, but didn't have any in my collection until now. This disc is really good 😊 We're agreed on the longevity of the enjoyment of children's literature 🤝 13mo
Bookwomble @LeahBergen It's a 1965 Methuen edition, with Shepherd's illustrations. Only £2, which was a bargain as it's a nice clean copy 😊 I love that shade of green on the dust jacket 💚 13mo
bibliothecarivs @Ruthiella Same here! 13mo
Bookwomble @dabbe I think we'll all have these idiosyncratic ellipses in our reading, which are as interesting in their way as the books we've read. I'm sure it's an idea that'll have been thought before (probably by Borges), but perhaps this is our "anti-library", and will naturally be vastly larger than our "read-library". 13mo
dabbe @Bookwomble Interesting thought and one I'll have to ponder. It is fascinating how we choose books and at what particular time we choose them--or not as the case may be. What makes someone finally pick up THAT book and say, “Now's the time.“ Sometimes that never happens, and the book still sits on that shelf or gets sent off to hopefully be chosen by someone else. #tobechosenornot #thatisthequestion 13mo
Bookwomble @dabbe I'm such a mood reader that I've got books I bought over 40 years ago I haven't quite felt I want to read yet, but certainly am not ready to let go of! 😄😒📚 13mo

Letter W

One of my all-time favourites and a pleasure at any age, though perhaps an adult might get more out of it. This novel about a gentlemen's club of small creatures who enjoy pottering about, thinking, and the finer things in life has some interesting subtexts.

jlhammar Oh, I love this one. I should do a reread soon. 2y

This morning was like Christmas! I‘m so delighted by everything @Chrissyreadit thank you so so very much! These were such thoughtful selections! I love the candle so much I know it‘s going to be my new favorite office accessory and this edition of WitW is going on the special editions shelf ❤️ I‘m so excited to try the recipes! I love pomegranates #recipeswap @BennettBookworm great success 👩‍🍳

Chrissyreadit Yay!!! Those books were all on your TBR (but I noticed you have some books on there twice- so hope you did not have them) and WITW was on your form. I thought this one was so pretty! I loved the candle- sorry it was smudged- (it arrived that way but the inside seemed perfect. ) and I love the smudge sticks from Steadfast Flowers- to me they are works of art. 2y

I really enjoyed this breezy little book. My copy has an intro and afterword by Jane Yolen, and she calls it three stories in one: Toad‘s adventure story; the friendship tales of Rat, Mole, and Badger; and the Pan interlude. I liked the friendship best, as I found Toad unlikeable and the interlude odd. My June #DoubleSpin and first goal met for #AnyWayYouReadathon !

Eggbeater Nice job! 👏👏👏 You are making me want to re-read this after all these years. 3y
Ruthiella I agree with the 3 books and I also prefer the friendship of Mole and Ratty. But since it is a kids book, I‘ll bet children generally prefer the parts with naughty Mr. Toad . 3y
ravenlee @Ruthiella she pointed out that kids like Toad‘s antics, while adults tend to prefer the essentially middle-aged trio, and I had to agree. I think this is one of those books that is completely different if you read it as a child and as an adult, like you wouldn‘t even remember some of it as being in the book at all. I hope to share this with kiddo sometime and see what she gets out of it. 3y

batsy Yep, when I read it as a kid it was Toad being absolutely bonkers that stuck with me years later (but Badger is someone I relate to now that I'm older 😆) 3y
TheAromaofBooks I have an edition illustrated by Tasha Tudor and the pictures are just perfect! This one is a bit of a nostalgia read for me as I can remember Dad reading it out loud to us; we were especially entertained whenever he had to say “poop poop“ since that was the sound of Toad's car horn haha 3y
MidnightBookGirl I know I read this as a kid, but I maybe should revisit this one. I am planning a Bunnicula series re-read soon, so maybe I'll just sneak some more childhood favorites in. 3y

I adored this story. It‘s a book i would love to re-read, although this time from an edition which has illustrations as gorgeous as @ju.ca.no ‘s copy. It‘s a simple story but one full of many lessons for children & adults alike. Ratty, Mole, Toad, & Badger live in the countryside & go through many moments of adventures & thrill, constituting lessons for life – friendship, forgiveness, love, helpfulness, appreciation for nature & its bounty. 👇🏽

This book was both charming and frustrating. The character of Mr. Toad is an annoying, impulsive blowhard... but thank god he‘s in the story, as otherwise not much of anything would have happened. It was a unique interesting read overall, but there are huge plot holes and issues that make zero sense, especially in relation to Mr. Toad. I could probably talk for a half hour or so about my mixed feelings about this book!😂

Tenía muchas ganas de leerlo desde hacía tiempo, no sabía que esperar ya que no conocía la historia, pero al empezarlo se me hizo pesado, aburrido y pensé dejarlo, pero como se lo leía a mis hijos no quería dejarlo, le di la oportunidad y vaya que se puso interesante, justo por la mitad. Excelente lección de humildad para un niño, un joven o un adulto, con razón es un clásico de lectura inglesa, sin duda lo volveré a leer.

Languishing on my TBR shelves for years, I was recently reminded of Grahame's book thanks to a Michiko Kakutani tweet quoting it while referring to T***p's ongoing refusal to concede. I was familiar with a few of the basic narratives, but this had quite a bit more going for it & was a pleasant surprise. Linguistically rich, thematically mature & filled with life lessons important for all ages. Can def see this being a future comfort read.

*Toad changed into his work pajamas.
He reached under a pillow for his laptop and opened up his email.
“I have so much work to do,” sighed Toad.
He set his Zoom background to a picture of his room when it was tidy.
“There,” said Toad. “Now I am professional.”*
This is one of the most relatable things I've read this week 😂

September 2020 (audiobook)
I really love this book - it is so beautifully written - and I thought the narrator was suitably English. Luke also found the small parts he listened to amusing. It failed, however, to catch the girls‘ attention. I do recall reading it to Polly years ago and she enjoyed it, but I feel audiobooks with simpler language, such as the Laura Ingalls‘ books, work better for Beatrix right now.

Dad read out loud to us a lot, but I particularly remember this one - Mr. Toad getting almost run over by the car & yearning for one of his own - my dad's “Poop, poop!“ will be with me always! 😂

Walkin' on Sunshine by Katrina & the Waves - apparently before I could even walk this song was enough to get me bouncing!!

A book loved by many. Sadly, I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I am already to grown up to enjoy this story. But I constantly kept asking myself “Where and how did they get that bacon from?“ 😏

Also, the animals distance themselves from humans, but keep interacting with them anyways, and all in all also totally act like humans (including playing war).

But I liked the pictures.

“The smell of that buttered toast simply talked to Toad, and with no uncertain voice; talked of warm kitchens, of breakfasts on bright frosty mornings, of cosy parlour firesides on winter evenings, when one's ramble was over and slippered feet were propped on the fender, of the purring of contented cats, and the twitter of sleepy canaries.” #breakfast #QuotsyFeb20
