Calling all Kindred Spirits! We‘ll be continuing the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead with an #LMMReread of Rilla of Ingleside, then an #LMMAdjacent title: Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter (a contemporary of LMM and a fellow author who published with the nefarious L.C. Page Co.). The schedule is above—all are welcome! Please comment if you‘d like to be tagged for either or both books.

I watched the 1960 movie starring Hayley Mills a couple times as a kid and absolutely loved it. 2mo
BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve never read Pollyanna, either! I‘m looking forward to my first read, too. 2mo
CSeydel I‘ve read Pollyanna, but although I‘ve owned Rilla of Ingleside since the 80s (and kept it through how many moves) — I‘ve actually never read it! Maybe I‘ll join you guys 2mo

Daisey It‘s been so long since I reread Rilla; I‘ll try to fit that one in May! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks I am definitely in for rereading both of these. Rilla is possibly my favorite LMM book. (Okay, maybe not; it's actually kind of impossible to choose 😂) I love Pollyanna as well, although in some ways the Hayley Mills version ruined the book for me because it's so hard to see the characters as anything other than the way they were cast in that book, despite them not being completely accurate. 😆 2mo
rubyslippersreads I‘d be glad if you‘d tag me for Pollyanna. 😄 2mo
rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks I ❤️ the Hayley Mills movie, though. 2mo
julieclair Please tag me for Pollyanna. Can‘t believe I‘ve never read it! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - I love the movie, too - but usually I can separate movie/book when they aren't particularly alike and just have them be two different stories in my mind. But for some reason the individuals from that movie INSIST on being the imagined book-characters in my mind 😂 It's not as bad in the first book, but in later books Pollyanna and Jimmy get married, and trying to reconcile Haley marrying Kevin Corcoran has been a struggle 😆 2mo
