#BookHaul from The Book Barn in Niantic, CT. Can you believe I visited exactly one structure in their sprawling, 3-location empire before my hands got too cold and I quit? 😅🥶 My wallet gives thanks to Mother Nature.

JamieArc Have you read the tagged? If not, you‘re in for a treat. I really loved it, and while I rarely reread, this is one I definitely want to. 2d
monalyisha @JamieArc I haven‘t! And yay! You know I take your endorsements seriously. 😉 While browsing, I sat down in a worn orange chair and read the first few pages to make sure I liked the writing. I was sold. 2d
JamieArc I read it at the height of the pandemic and it was just lovely. I have an orange chair in my office that I use to take reading breaks 🧡 2d

slategreyskies I received The Collected Poems of May Sarton as a gift a few years ago. It was a used copy, and when I opened it up to begin reading, we were both surprised to find out that it was signed! I treasure it now, even more so than I would have otherwise. Also, I have so many of her journals as well. Her writing calms me. 2d
AmyG Other Birds was so lovely. 2d
monalyisha @slategreyskies That‘s all so wonderful! I know nothing about her, actually. Good to know my instincts can be trusted. 😊 2d
Tamra The Last Report is one of my all time favorite novels. 💙 2d
Hooked_on_books You found some good ones! An Immense World is phenomenal. 2d

Just a reminder: May 1 begins the next #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead iteration! We‘ll read the Complete Journals interspersed with LMM-adjacent books & LMM rereads. The pace is ~100 pages per week, with Saturday check-ins to chat about the week's reading.

I‘ve tagged those who were interested, but all are welcome! Comment if you'd like to join—for some or all! Re-reads will pop up in Vol. 2 of the journals. #LMMJournals #LMMAdjacent #LMMRereads

julieclair Yay! I would like to be tagged for the Adjacents and Rereads, please. If it‘s easier, feel free to tag me for the journals as well. 6d
BarbaraJean @julieclair I can definitely tag you just for the adjacents and rereads! Looking forward to having you join in! 6d
julieclair Thanks! Looking forward to it! 5d
lauraisntwilder I just got my copy of the Complete Journals Vol. 1 and it's beautiful! Whatever editorializing Rubio did in her bio is partially forgiven (by me, at least!) because of the obvious amount of care that went into this. 4d
BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder I know, right?! The photos and all the notes look fantastic. I looked at Vol. 1 of the complete journals on Internet Archive and that glimpse convinced me that I wanted to read the complete journals instead of the selected, and it made up my mind that I wanted to buy each copy as we go! 4d
lauraisntwilder @BarbaraJean Exactly! I haven't even started it yet and I'm already so impressed. 4d

Been recommended these by my 11 year old cousin. Should be interesting haha

lazydaizee They all look like fun. 1w
Roary47 Cute! 1w
LibrarianRyan Those look fun! 1w
Gissy If an 11 year old boy said they were interesting, we should try them. I‘m always looking what children are reading and what keep them in reading a series, the topic? The characters? The adventure? ☺️ 1w
hannah-leeloo My cousin love to read @Gissy she's especially into cat adventures hehe 1w

Here's a weekly schedule for the next #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead iteration! This includes the Complete Journals with LMM-adjacent books & LMM rereads slotted in roughly chronologically. The pace is ~100 pages per week, and I'll post Saturday check-ins to chat about the week's reading. Those who were interested are tagged, but anyone is welcome! Comment if you'd like to join—for some or all! (Cont'd) ⬇

BarbaraJean This May/June schedule goes to the end of the Complete Journals Vol. 1, and includes adjacent books that LMM mentions or that may have been influential for her during this time (no rereads yet—AoGG pops up in Vol. 2). LMM mentions a TON of books she was reading, from poetry to novels and more, so if something stands out to you that‘s not on the schedule, please bring it up! It would be fun to add in more adjacent reads if people are interested. ⬇ (edited) 4w
BarbaraJean Also, I came across this and thought it was interesting—the L.M. Montgomery Bookshelf: https://kindredspaces.ca/bookshelf. It collects “some of Montgomery's most-loved or most interesting reads.“ It includes scans of relevant pages or the full text of various books that were important to LMM, along with notes on each. There are only 20 titles there, but it's fascinating to look through! 4w
TheAromaofBooks Wow!!! This is fantastic!!!! Thank you so much for pulling it together. I am definitely in for this!! 3w

rubyslippersreads I‘m excited about this! 3w
sblbooks I'm in for Rebecca of Sunnybrook. 3w
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads 🎉 🎉 I'm so looking forward to reading along with you both! @sblbooks Yaaaay! I'll be sure to tag you for those weeks. 3w
TheAromaofBooks My library has Volume 1, so I am going to check it out and that will let me see if I want to make the financial investment of slowly purchasing all these journals as we read them 😂 3w
rubyslippersreads @sblbooks I have the Shirley Temple edition. 😄 (Although the movie has very little to do with the book, since book Rebecca doesn‘t go on the radio.) 3w
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Totally understand!! There are no copies of any of the journals in either of the library systems I have cards for! 😩 I could get a card at yet another library that‘s not terribly far, but that would mean driving 30-40 minutes there to get the card and the book and then driving back to return it… so I broke down and bought the first two volumes online. But, for what it‘s worth, I also discovered that Vol. 1 is on Internet Archive! (edited) 3w
sblbooks @rubyslippersreads I didn't even know there was a Shirley Temple movie for this book. I'll have to see if I can find it 3w
lauraisntwilder I haven't been online much lately, so I missed this. I'm definitely in though! Thank you! 3w
BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder No worries--knowing that this schedule is more complicated and the journals aren't as readily available, I wanted to give plenty of advance notice! Glad to have you along for the ride again!! 3w

KristiAhlers Les Miserables, Jane Eyre, Emma. I'm a total classics fan. 4w
dabbe 1: I wish I could, but the 1st time was heart-wrenching enough for me. 😭 2: YES! 3: #doh ... ALL her books, right? I'd also add IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.
Your way of dealing with anxiety and CPTSD is much healthier than my way of dealing with anxiety: eating a whole box of Kraft mac & cheese. 🤩 Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚

I've been missing Proust in the morning, so decided to return to Woolf. I read the first two volumes of her diary a few years ago, so starting with Volume 3. There was immediate comfort to be back in her prose.

batsy I love her diaries. 1mo
