Look at this cool version of The Secret Garden that I got from ThriftBooks!! I have also always wanted to read this adventure series of wild cats so I got the first 3 of those also.

This is one I have always wanted to read to compare to the movie but had never gotten around to until now it was fun to get to know this iconic character better. The book character is just as magical as the Mary we see in the movie but quite different otherwise. Definitely a fun book to read.

1. My great aunt and uncle, who were like grandparents to me. 💙

2. My husband, sons, daughter-in-law, nephew and nieces. 💝💗🥰

marleed You and I both have that sister 10 years older treating us as a daughter. Mine has been gone 3 years. I thought I knew grief and tackled it to the ground. But this one still hits hard. 2d

The Secret of the Mansion | Julie Campbell

pick

The old mansion, & its mysterious inhabitant, down the lane from Trixie‘s home becomes the source of Trixie and Honey‘s summer adventures.

It‘s been so long since I read these stories. & they are just as much fun as I remember. I love all the characters so much, and the setting is just charming. My mom lent me her old copy, & she was so delighted to hear other people had read these books. Can‘t wait to keep going! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

MamaGina Oh my, what a blast from the past! Trixie and her friends definitely influenced my life long love of reading mysteries. I read so many of these as a preteen. Thanks for sharing, love knowing you enjoyed revisiting this series! 💕 2h

Pippi Longstocking (Puffin Modern Classics) | Astrid Lindgren

Tonight‘s #Naturalitsy #HyggeHour features Pippi for #ChildrensClassicRead2024 & finishing up A Little Bit of Astrology for #travelingstars2024 so I can get it sent out this week.

Drinking green tea & enjoying some KitKats a coworker brought back from Japan & a mini lemon bar from Friday‘s meeting. Mood is a bit blue that Monday came so quick.😔Last week was hard & busy & I think this week will be the same, but it‘s nice to have this quiet time.

slategreyskies I find the Kit Kat flavors available in Japan to be fascinating. Did you know that, in the past few decades, there have been hundreds of different flavors of Kit Kats released in Japan? I couldn‘t even think of hundreds of flavors if I wanted to, and the creativity with the flavors released is just amazing! Everything from roasted tea to wasabi to chestnut to sweet potato flavored ones. So incredibly cool! 🍫 4d

DebinHawaii @slategreyskies Yes! They are so creative with the flavors & I love that! The ones here weren‘t too different/fancy-white chocolate strawberry & strawberry cheesecake but they were good & fun to try! 3d

TheBookHippie Have a wonderful week!! 3d

curiouserandcurioser @TheBookHippie I read this a long time ago and loved the Shirley Temple movie:) I'm excited for this❤ 4d

BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie Oh, no worries!! I made up our schedule only a few months ago and wish I‘d thought to look at your schedule before I did.
