This book is a collection of memories by a group of old Scout friends. In the centennial year (2017) of celebration of the founding of Camp Glen Gray, we cant recount periods other than when we were Scouts at Glen Gray, but our story might be considered fun reading by other generations. All of those involved in this writing project left the camp by the mid-1960s and have only returned for anniversariesor never. Regardless, the creation of our story brought old friends back together as though no time had passed. The sharing of events and anecdotes by email and critique of stories, as they unfolded, helped sharpen our memories. More often, we were surprised, as we found out about things we didnt know in the first place. While it might go without saying, it ought to be said, we, as Scouts, boys-to-teenagers-to-adults, experienced something unique that was the Scouting experience associated with Camp Glen Gray. To us, Camp Glen Gray is a special place in all the world. While its memories can be preserved in writing, pictures, and our own memories, it is a place that ought to be preserved so that others can look at Lake Vreeland from the bridge and have dreamsforever. In 2017, the bridge over the dam spillway was been removed. It is hoped that any proceeds from the sale of this book would go to restoring the 1950s cover picture view in our memories and in reality

mcctrish Am I technologically challenged ? I‘m seeing the list of 2024 4d
CBee @BarbaraBB this is the list for 2024 😅 4d
MeganAnn @mcctrish me too! I kept looking through it trying to figure out why none of the books I was excited about being nominated were on the list! 😆😅 4d
Jess I saw All Fours and was like oh no not again! 4d
Soubhiville Oopsie! I came to say the same thing. Way to keep us in suspense! 😅 4d
mcctrish @MeganAnn my eyes were immediately drawn to the ones I‘d already read and some for last year and I thought why‘d they get nominated again? 4d
Megabooks Let me see if I can get in touch with Barbara and let her know the list is from last year. Friday was King‘s Day in the Netherlands so she may be partied out and not able to get the correct one up until tomorrow! Sorry for the confusion!! @mcctrish @TheBookHippie @CBee @MeganAnn @jess @Soubhiville We‘ll get the new one posted ASAP! 👍🏻👍🏻 (edited) 4d
CSeydel @Jess SAME 🤣 4d
Soubhiville @Megabooks No worries! It‘s funny how quickly we all noticed the familiar titles. 4d
Bookwormjillk @Jess All Fours 🤣🤣🤣 4d
Susanita All Fours! Butter! *runs away screaming* 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures There is still so much controversy around All Fours I am willing to read it again 😂 4d
TheBookHippie @Susanita 💯💯💯💯 I REFUSE! 4d
kspenmoll In my Friday night tired state I made my choices- barely registering why I read many already! 🤪 4d
Read4life @Susanita I‘m running & screaming with you! 😖😂 4d
BkClubCare It‘s a lovely graphic, I must say. 😊 4d
GatheringBooks Lololols about All Fours. 🤪🤪🤪 4d
Megabooks @kspenmoll lololol!! Hmmmm…seems familiar, but maybe I‘ve just been reading too much about books coming out this spring…😆😆 4d
julieclair There are a bunch on this 2024 list that are still on my TBR… 🤣 4d
Ruthiella It took me way too long to realize this was last year‘s list! 😂 (edited) 4d
squirrelbrain @megabooks @mcctrish @TheBookHippie @CBee @meganann @jess @Soubhiville I‘ve dropped a pdf version in for now, until Barbara wakes up - although you‘re probably all fast asleep too! 4d
squirrelbrain @Susanita @willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures @Read4life @dabbe @kspenmoll @BkClubCare @GatheringBooks @julieclair @Ruthiella - this year has been such a shitshow we‘d thought we‘d continue the theme by making everyone read Butter and All Fours again! 🤣 4d
TheBookHippie @squirrelbrain OMG NO JUST NO I believe All Fours is my number one I hate it book of all time 🤮 4d
Ruthiella @squirrelbrain 🤣🤣🤣 4d
TheBookHippie @Ruthiella 🤣🤣🤣🫣 4d
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll 🤣😬🫣 4d
Read4life @squirrelbrain I second @TheBookHippie ‘s comment. 🤮🤮 4d
julesG Love the comments!!! 🤣🤣🤣 4d
CarolynM Thanks Helen, I‘ve put in my votes😊 @squirrelbrain 4d
squirrelbrain Thanks @CarolynM ! 🏕️ 4d
squirrelbrain @julesG - it was just an emergency drill to make sure everyone was paying attention! After all, we did have a Bear in the camp last year. And we‘re confident now that Littens are paying attention, and someone will definitely shout if Miranda July appears from behind a tree with Butter in her hand. Phew - as you were - back to normal camp life! 🤣 4d
julesG @squirrelbrain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 4d
jenniferw88 @squirrelbrain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐻🧈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 4d

GatheringBooks Yay!! Voted based on the books shared with the tag #CampLitsy25. 🥰😘💕📚 4d
TrishB Done ✔️😁 can‘t wait 4d
CBee @squirrelbrain 😂😂😂😂😂 4d
CBee @TheBookHippie couldn‘t even finish it! I felt so icky!! 4d
CBee Voted ✅ Thanks, lovelies!! @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB 4d
AmyG Voted! So excited. 4d
Ruthiella @Squirrelbrain I am printing up identi-kits to pass around so we can recognize Miranda July and every edition of Butter…just in case she tries to infiltrate! 😂 4d
Christine So excited to go check out the list!! 4d
TheBookHippie @CBee I didn‘t either I bailed. 4d
squirrelbrain Thanks @CBee @AmyG ! 🏕️ 4d
squirrelbrain @Ruthiella - you‘re so organised! 🤣 You can be in charge of a cabin this year! 4d
Meshell1313 Ooh wow what a list! Just voted 🗳️ I dunno- I still think about Butter all the time. It was probably the oddest book I‘ve ever read. 4d
DGRachel I saw All Fours and thought “wasn‘t that one of the ones I DNFd last year?” and then I saw Butter, screamed, and shut down my computer. 🤣🤣 4d
BarbaraBB @DGRachel I‘m so sorry I posted last year‘s one. I have updated the link however so hope you will try again! 4d
BarbaraBB @Meshell1313 I liked it too! 4d
BarbaraBB @Christine @amyG @cbee @trishb @gatheringbooks @Caroline2 Can‘t wait to find out what books we‘ll read but still need to think of my shortlist. So many choices!! 4d
DGRachel All good @BarbaraBB ! I will probably vote tonight after I dig into the nominees a little more. ☺️ 4d
Ruthiella @DGRachel 😂😂😂 4d
Lesliereadsalot Thanks so much! I voted ☑️ 3d
ImperfectCJ Seeing the 2024 list first was kind of delightful in that it sparked such fun commentary! Who knew so many of us had residual trauma from All Fours! I just voted (from the 2025 list). 3d
Kitta Voted!! 3d
TheKidUpstairs Voted! 3d
JamieArc I‘m halfway through the list 😊 3d
monalyisha Okay, but I‘ve only made it up to “K” and I already have 15 books highlighted…😅 3d
BarbaraBB @ImperfectCJ Who knew indeed! It was fun to see the excitement for the real list and very stupid from me of course 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 3d
BarbaraBB @JamieArc @monalyisha I‘ve been unable to narrow it down to six either. To be continued today 😀 3d
monalyisha It‘s a little after midnight where I am. I made it through all 152 titles! 🙌🏻 I‘ll look again at my list of (28) possible choices tomorrow. 🥱 Enjoying the process! 3d
BarbaraBB @monalyisha Same! It‘s 26 in my case 😉 3d
squirrelbrain @Meshell1313 - thanks for voting! 🏕️ 3d
squirrelbrain @DGRachel - so funny! 🤣 3d
squirrelbrain @JamieArc @monalyisha - it‘s so difficult isn‘t it?! So many good books….. 3d
MeganAnn Voted! SO many books I want to read it was extremely difficult to narrow it down to only six but somehow I managed (likely thanks to copious amounts of caffeine). I added so many of these to my TBR after going through the list… Also I now know that I must never read All Fours or Butter 🤣 3d
BarbaraBB @MeganAnn haha, opinions varied on those two indeed 😂😂 thanks for voting! 3d
julieclair Yay! Voted! 3d
monalyisha My book club is reading All Fours this year…on my suggestion. I‘m a little nervous now. 😅 2d
BarbaraBB @kspenmoll We deleted your votes because they were based on last year‘s longlist (my fault for publishing it, I am really sorry for that). If you want, you can vote again for this year‘s books. @squirrelbrain 2d
Kitta @monalyisha it was very divisive! Personally I hated it but a lot of people loved it. It made the bestseller list for a reason I guess. It‘ll make for a good discussion at least! 17h
