Welcome to Litsy!

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! ⤵️

Twist on Anne of Green Gables where Anne tries to apprentice herself to a prickly witch who eventually warms to her 😉
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

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!

This is a beautiful book filled with gorgeous pictures of Prince Edward Island, many of them taken by LMM herself. I don‘t think there is anyone who is better at describing scenery than LMM and she has such an ability to transport you to another time. Highly recommended for fans of Anne, LMM or even if you just love flowers. 5⭐️

We‘re headed back to Orilium and Veta Mae has some big decisions to make.

She‘s thinking of changing her Calling and hoping to make a new friend or 2.

Today‘s BN #bookhaul, courtesy of a gift card from my dad. I don‘t think I‘ve ever spent a gift card faster! The Lore Olympus are the BN exclusive editions and I hope to get volumes one and two tomorrow when we go to Dallas and visit a different store. Goddess Girls is the rest of kiddo‘s Christmas books that arrived late.

“Our library isn‘t very expensive. But every book in it is a friend.” I absolutely loved seeing Anne become a wife and mother in this book. The first half of this book made my heart sore and sometimes cry. I will admit, about half way through the story I feel like Anne became an observer as apposed to the main character. It‘s still a great book though and I dearly love relate to a the newly wed wife and the dreams of her home.

I encourage every lover of Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery to read this book.

This wasn't bad. It didn't feel much like a retelling of Anne of Green Gables though, and the similarities felt more like a distraction than an integral part of the plot. I liked Grace and Sareena. I think I would like to try another of Fawcett's books, one that isn't a retelling.
