Surprise! I’m doing another one of my Patreon book clubs in July, and this time we’re reading Theater Shoes by Noel Streatfeild!

Here are the details:

⦁ It’s free! And it starts July 1st, but you can sign up now.

⦁ It’s hosted on my Patreon! You can subscribe to my Patreon for free and I will make all the book club content available for everyone. 🙂

⦁ This book is available not only in the US but also in the UK (and if you get the UK Puffin edition like the one shown here, it has the full unabridged text)! It’s also an audiobook.

⦁ I’ll be doing posts about the book, and anyone can leave comments! There won’t be official discussion questions to answer–we will only be listing the things we enjoyed in the book and chatting about that!

⦁ There’s no set schedule for reading: all you have to do is read the book whenever you want to during July and leave comments with your thoughts.

So if this sounds good to you, head over to my Patreon and sign up! I can’t wait to discuss this story. 🙂

Will you be joining the book club? Leave a comment!

This is just a quick post to ask: What are you reading this Christmas season? I would love to hear what Christmas (or just everyday!) books you are enjoying right now, so please leave a comment!

I’ve been enjoying some wonderful books lately! I just re-read a delightful collection of Noel Streatfeild’s Christmas writings called Christmas with the Chrystals. It contains short memoir pieces sprinkled between holiday excerpts from Noel’s books. (The Christmas chapter in Theater Shoes is excerpted here, and it’s so fun.)

The first story included in the volume is a short story (the titular “Christmas with the Chrystals”) that is unrelated to any of her novels, and I think it absolutely should have been turned into a full-length book.

I’m also hoping to re-read The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas by Madeleine L’Engle, but I just received an early Christmas gift of Ginnie Joins In by Catherine Woolley, so I’ll be reading that too. 🙂

Merry Christmas!
