This will be a re-read of Island Magic for me, after many years. Very much looking forward to it! 😊

So glad to reread Island Magic -- especially in August, as the narration tells us that on the twentieth of August, 1888, Colin du Frocq, eight years old, is enjoying the joys of La Rue Clubin. It will be good to follow Island Magic with Green Dolphin Street. Thanks, Julie!

I’m in! Like everyone else here, this is my first time reading this book. I’m curious to read the first novel she published.

So glad you can join us! It is a wonderful book, full of details that are easy to miss the first time so we will talk about them along the way. :)

I have not read it either so how fun will this month be for many of us? Through this group I am discovering Goudge books that I own but never got invigorated enough to read. How awful does that sound! I also started The Valley of Song last night and it is already so intriguing and the characters are special.

I am really excited to read it for the first time. I also have not had a chance to participate in a readalong in a while, so this is a real treat for me. Thank you!

I've started as well for my planning, and it is such a good book for summer reading :) Hope you love it!
