• BONUS Kindred Aunties: Talking Found Families with The Auntie Bulletin

  Kindred Spirits Book Club joins forces with The Auntie Bulletin for a lively Substack Live conversation about the many “aunties” in Anne of Green Gables—from Marilla to Aunt Josephine to Miss Stacey—and how nontraditional families can offer love, guidance, and community to a child. We share favorite moments from the books, swap stories about real-life aunties, and explore the lasting impact of these relationships. If you loved hearing from Lisa Sibbett of The Auntie Bulletin, check out her substack for more of her amazing writing about the communities we build for ourselves.  You can also see the video of our conversation there as well!   If you want to get a free logo sticker from us, either leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or share your love for the pod on social media!  Send us a photo of your share or review at either our email: [email protected] or on our KindredSpirits.BookClub Instagram.

Kelly recommends:  Rilla of Ingleside to get a jump on our 5th season!  Also, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore for a juicy, thrilling read, James by Percival Everett for a beautiful and heartbreaking reimagining of Huckleberry Finn from Jim’s perspective, and Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz for a book within a book twisty mystery. Ragon recommends: The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst for a cozy fantasy world, Kills Well With Others by Deanna Raybourn for the adventures of retired female assassins, and Buried Deep by Naomi Novik for a collection of wildly diverse fantasy short stories by one of our favorite fantasy writers.
