#Coinkydink

I could quote something on every page. This book is my jam! Let me set the connection, the coinky-dink: I‘ve just started A View of the Harbour by Elizabeth Taylor and a character is 20 yo, right after WWII, sitting in an upstairs room looking out the window at the town streets and then this book has this quote:
“Young Christine… Climbs up to the attic room where she has done so much reading and looks out the window.”

BkClubCare Hey @xicanti - this essay has many references to “Gabrielle Roy” (#TIL abt GR) 2y
xicanti @BkClubCare she was from here! I haven‘t read her yet, though. 2y
BkClubCare @xicanti - sounds like a buddy read of Bonheur d‘Occasion (The Tin Flute for this anglophone) 2y

Happy 💕 Valentines 💝 Day❣️
“His diseased mind had twisted our words, revised the history of our love. How dare he! My voice quavered with fury as I said, “Did you?”

I really enjoyed this slippery wild tale of grief and inventive experience of dealing with trauma.

On a road trip, trying to read and listen. Strikes me that this book shares some #coinkydink with Benny losing his dad then having a super imagination and with The Kid in Hell of a Book. Similar themes, maybe? Not sure yet. Could just be overlap. #tob2022
I think this might be the longest in length of the shortlist.

Ruthiella I was able to find a copy of every book but one from my two library systems. Now I just need to remind myself that I don‘t have to read them all this month! The struggle is real! 😝 2y

Once Upon A Wardrobe.
While reading THIS book, I found a phrase that reminds me of Narnia, Susan,& Lucy!

While finishing up The Children of the New Forest for #ChildrensClassicRead2021 I decided to continue my reading of books about #Doors
 @Mommamanzi told me about her childhood favorite book The Door in the Wall
What a #coinkydink they are both set during the English Civil Wars! 📚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🚪

batsy I loved The Door in the Wall! 3y
tpixie @batsy It‘s fun remembering childhood favorites! 🥰 I‘m enjoying it also! 3y
TheBookHippie Oh how wonderful!!! I‘ve not read the door in the wall in awhile! It‘s still required reading here in the lower grades. 3y
tpixie @TheBookHippie wow! That‘s great! It‘s a cute tale of perseverance & that even kids can be heroes 🦸‍♂️ There were fun references about Doors 🚪 throughout the book. (edited) 3y

I loved We Ride Upon Sticks - perfect book to distract from current events. Lots of laughs for me, my favorite kind of humor. I got it. And my only issue besides the narrator not quite my favorite (not bad, just take a drink more, girl) was too long, lots of characters and we hit every social issue there is, it seemed. #KitchenSink. THEN #coinkydink !! Poem in my current collection hits the exact mark. ❤️#SalemWitchTrials #tourism
