Join us for a #KindredSpiritsChristmas as the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead reads L.M. Montgomery‘s cozy holiday stories, one per day, Dec. 6-25.

Almost all the stories are available online (I‘ll post links as applicable), and all but the first four are in the tagged book. (Dec. 10 is ch. 25 in Green Gables and Dec. 17 is chs. 5-6 in the “Second Year” of Windy Poplars.)

All are welcome! Some past participants are tagged—comment if you‘d like to join!

As a bookseller my specialism was Crime, with emphasis on Cosy & Golden Era, so the Brit Lib reprints have featured heavily in my TBR pile.

This collection of shorts stands up well. There are, as always, a couple that probably could have been left out but for the most part it's a great collection. Mystery short-form is not the easiest genre to write, and the quality of these stories is a reflection of the great names included.

A few days ago I went to an author talk & book signing for Naomi Novik (caught her at an unflattering moment 🫣) & it was the best author event I've been to so far! She spoke about her inspirations for her Scholomance series & the process of working w artists to bring her vision of the school itself out of her head & onto the page. I've only read 2 of her books, so far, but I'm going to read this series soon! I'm thinking right after Christmas. 😊

Her debut of short stories. They run the gamut of emotional highs and lows with some creepy stories thrown in. All spectacular, as only Keegan can do. #TenBeforetheEnd #offtheshelf

Multitasking: watching UConn v. Duke football game- close, 20 v. 14. Finished tagged book.A fun light read. Enjoyed how T & T took on the persona of various detectives.The last story they are Poirot & Hastings- a segway into Poirot tales I am thinking?The “twins” chapter was another one I enjoyed.

Lesliereadsalot Also watching! 24h

It‘s a cold, rainy day, but I have errands to run. Enough time to enjoy my lunch and some reading, though, while I am out and about.

A read a review which described this a collection of good horror stories. I didn't find that. More a collection of strange and weird stories. Personally, I struggled through each story. Just wasnt for me.
