Anne is in this title so little. It's good but I miss her.

This was a fun read. I quite enjoyed it. It was refreshing to follow the Meredith family for once.

Anne's House of Dreams | L. M. Montgomery

Anne‘s House of Dreams Discussion - 1/3

🏡 What did you think of Gilbert and Anne as a married couple? What (if any) changes do you see in Anne now that she‘s married?

🏡 How would you compare Anne‘s other friendships (Diana, her college chums) to her friendship with Leslie?

CogsOfEncouragement I adore them as a couple. Fun to be in their world. 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement Leslie has had more sorrow than most, and has such unhappy responsibilities. This makes her such a different character than Anne‘s other chums. It makes her equipped to be a true friend to Anne when her own tragedy comes. They are supportive to each other in genuine, deep ways. 1mo

kwmg40 I like how Anne and Gilbert still retain much of their earlier characteristics in their married life. Anne is still sensitive, idealistic and a dreamer, while Gilbert is steady, reliable and practical. They make a good team! 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I love Anne and Gilbert together. Like @kwmg40 said, they seem to balance each other well. I especially love the chapter where they are deciding whether or not Gilbert should tell Leslie about the surgery that could help her husband. I think their disagreement and then the way they still basically agree to disagree is written really well, and gives us a great look at Gilbert's character. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks It's so interesting to read these books as an adult. When I first read them around 10-12yrs old, I couldn't really understand the difference in Anne's friendship with Leslie vs Diana or college chums. Now, having gone through some life-sorrows myself, I can appreciate the difference. Leslie is Anne's intellectual equal, combined with a soul-maturity that only comes from surviving tragedy. I also understand now why their friendship changed after ⬇ 1mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Anne's tragedy as well. You genuinely can't understand what it's like to live through something horrific until you have, and I thought LMM did such a good job of making that a turning point of their friendship. 1mo

I posted about this series on Threads and some people said to skip this book all together. Yet, somehow someway I‘m enjoying it.

Anne's House of Dreams | L. M. Montgomery

Hello, Kindred Spirits! The #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead is currently reading Anne‘s House of Dreams for #LMMRereads & we‘ll read The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett for #LMMAdjacent from Feb. 2-15. After that, our schedule is TBD! I have a bunch of potential adjacent reads that I‘ve noted down as I‘ve been reading LMM‘s journals, so I thought I‘d put up a poll to see what others are interested in. The link is in the comments! ⤵️

The Grace of Wild Things | Heather Fawcett

pick

This witchy retelling of Anne of Green Gables is utterly charming and stars Grace, an orphan who must complete a grimoire full of spells to become the witch of the wood‘s apprentice…or lose her magic. I loved the culturally diverse cast of characters, the magical twists on the classic story, and that more readers will encounter one of my favorite characters in literature! Highly recommended for fans of Netflix‘s Anne with an E, of course!
