L M Montgomery's characterisation of Cousin Ernestine is just hilarious.

Anne of Windy Willows (Poplars) has never been my favourite of the Anne books, but I'm still enjoying this read!

Calling all Kindred Spirits! We‘ll be continuing the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead with an #LMMReread of Rilla of Ingleside, then an #LMMAdjacent title: Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter (a contemporary of LMM and a fellow author who published with the nefarious L.C. Page Co.). The schedule is above—all are welcome! Please comment if you‘d like to be tagged for either or both books.

CogsOfEncouragement I‘ll skip a reread of Rilla, but look forward to reading Pollyanna for the first time. I watched the 1960 movie starring Hayley Mills a couple times as a kid and absolutely loved it. 5d
BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve never read Pollyanna, either! I‘m looking forward to my first read, too. 5d
CSeydel I‘ve read Pollyanna, but although I‘ve owned Rilla of Ingleside since the 80s (and kept it through how many moves) — I‘ve actually never read it! Maybe I‘ll join you guys 5d

Daisey It‘s been so long since I reread Rilla; I‘ll try to fit that one in May! 5d
TheAromaofBooks I am definitely in for rereading both of these. Rilla is possibly my favorite LMM book. (Okay, maybe not; it's actually kind of impossible to choose 😂) I love Pollyanna as well, although in some ways the Hayley Mills version ruined the book for me because it's so hard to see the characters as anything other than the way they were cast in that book, despite them not being completely accurate. 😆 4d
rubyslippersreads I‘d be glad if you‘d tag me for Pollyanna. 😄 4d
rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks I ❤️ the Hayley Mills movie, though. 4d
julieclair Please tag me for Pollyanna. Can‘t believe I‘ve never read it! 4d
TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - I love the movie, too - but usually I can separate movie/book when they aren't particularly alike and just have them be two different stories in my mind. But for some reason the individuals from that movie INSIST on being the imagined book-characters in my mind 😂 It's not as bad in the first book, but in later books Pollyanna and Jimmy get married, and trying to reconcile Haley marrying Kevin Corcoran has been a struggle 😆 4d

Here's the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead schedule for the next six weeks, with #LMMJournals, #LMMReread and #LMMAdjacent choices. We'll read the last section of Volume 4 of LMM's Complete Journals over the next two weeks, then Rilla of Ingleside, then Pollyanna.

I've tagged the schedule/announcements list for the group, but all are welcome. If you'd like to be tagged for any/all of the above, please comment!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I'm still plowing through The Last of the Mohicans!! I'm really looking forward to rereading Rilla, and Pollyanna with the group!! 3w
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks I‘m interested to hear what you think once the plowing is done! I don‘t regret reading it, but it was disappointing. I‘m glad to be back into the journals this week and looking forward to the next several picks! 2w

Another charming read! I enjoyed getting to know more of the world of Ingleside and Anne's presence was still felt throughout. What surprised me was how late in time this was set - I always imagined the Anne of Green Gables series to be set in the 1800s, but there were a lot of references to historical events from the early 1900s. It makes sense, but still surprised me! Just one book left and I'm done this series. (Pictured with my next read)

Another charming installment in the Anne of Green Gables series. This one featured a few of Anne's children but was mostly about a family they befriend.

Next read is going to be something a bit more wholesome. Book seven of the series and #BookEightOf2025

LMM dedicates Rainbow Valley to three young men who were killed in WWI, and the ending of the novel, with its references to the Piper, foreshadows the war to come. Did you notice anything else in the book that echoes or explores these bookend references to the war?

lauraisntwilder Ellen West seems pretty convinced there's something rotten in the state of Germany. 2mo
BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder And she wasn't wrong! I loved seeing LMM's interest in politics come out in that way. I felt like the Piper stuff was a little heavy-handed, but I liked that little foreshadowing with Ellen. 1mo
kwmg40 There were definitely instances of foreshadowing -- references to the politics but also suggestions that the world will change and the current times will be gone forever. 1mo
BarbaraJean @kwmg40 Yes! I think that‘s what I had a hard time putting my finger on. There‘s a whole mood of “all this is about to change.” It makes the childhood games and antics that much more nostalgic. 1mo
