Emily of New Moon | Lucy Maud Montgomery

Juxtapositions like these are one of the reasons I‘m so enjoying reading LMM‘s journals alongside a re-read of her books!

TheAromaofBooks I am really interested to see what connections we find between Emily and LMM (and later - Pat and LMM) 1d

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks I am SO interested to read the journals alongside Pat! I remember you really not liking the Pat books--do you think you'll re-read this time? 21h

TheAromaofBooks I still have never read Mistress Pat, but I probably will reread Pat of Silver Bush despite saying I wasn't going to read it again ever 😂 7h

I was really excited about re-reading Emily of New Moon by listening to this audiobook narrated by Megan Follows. Until I saw it‘s abridged. 😭 Maybe I‘ll read it in print and then go back afterwards to listen and see what they cut out. #LMMReread #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead

TheBookHippie Oh dear. 2d

lauraisntwilder ☹️ I see no reason for this book to have been abridged. 2d

BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie I‘m SO disappointed! @lauraisntwilder Right?!? How could Megan Follows be part of this kind of travesty?! 2d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean it makes no sense. 2d

willaful Good grief! It's hardly a super long book! 1d

BarbaraJean @willaful I was thinking it was longer than Anne by about 100 pages, but I just looked it up, and at least in the Bantam paperbacks, it's all of 30 pages longer than Anne. 🙄 21h

rubyslippersreads I‘m not sure if I‘ll reread (I bet I‘ve read it at least 50 times 😁), but I‘ll definitely chime in with comments. 4d

TheBookHippie I adore this read! Enjoy!!! 4d

JenlovesJT47 I read this a couple of years ago and loved it, sounds like a great time for a reread! P.S. Has anyone ever watched the show Emily of New Moon? It‘s pretty good. Got the whole series for $10 awhile back. 🩷 4d

willaful Oh, I haven't read this in so long. I think I'd like to join in! 3d

BarbaraJean @willaful Yay! I‘ll tag you! 3d

BarbaraJean @JenlovesJT47 I have an Emily of New Moon series saved in my Hoopla favorites but haven‘t watched it yet—maybe I need to do that this summer! 3d

TheAromaofBooks When I read Emily the first time I found the series depressing and said I wasn't going to read them again - but I honestly can't resist rereading them within the context of everything we've been learning about LMM, so I guess I'm in again! 😂 3d

rubyslippersreads @willaful I‘m jealous of you getting to read it for the first time. 3d

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Hahaha! The Emily books really are much darker than Anne… but I do love them. I‘m glad you‘re in for a re-read—I‘m enjoying this chronological buddy read so much!! 3d

TheAromaofBooks I am, too! I was not expecting rereading these within LMM's life-context to make such a difference but it really is! 2d

What a great book to wrap this series with! I have always been a sucker for wartime stories, so I think this being set in WWI is part of why I think it is (just a little bit!) better than a few of the books that came before. This is a belated post, as I finished this read during a work trip earlier this week, but I had a loaner phone with no Litsy so I couldn't post about it in real time.

Haiku #1:
What shall I say to
Describe my thoughts on this book?
Best classic I've read.

Haiku #2
I literally
Read it in one and a half
hours: cried and laughed.

If you haven't read this book, I suggest you remedy that as soon as possible. Although, of course, everyone has different tastes on what is the best kind of book. :)

Itchyfeetreader Love both of your haikus and a recommendation to a book by this author that I have not read. Side note I was in Boston earlier this year and surprised how hard it was to pick up a physical copy of a Montgomery 2w

I have this blog where I don't post as often as I'd like. But here are some reflections on a scene from Rilla of Ingleside, with a little Pollyanna thrown in. #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead-ers may be interested. Also: it‘s Christian-y. 🙂

The story of Anne's daughter, this novel describes in realistic detail the lives of Canadians during WWI. Despite the heavy themes, this story still has plenty of charm and humour. I especially liked reading about the 1917 federal election as we were going through the 2025 federal election.
