pickI have a much better appreciation of this book than I did when I had first read it a long time ago. I love how Anne has matured and evolved over the series but still retains much of what made so many people love her from the original Green Gables book.

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - House of Dreams Discussion - 4/3!
I completely forgot I added a short story to our House of Dreams read! Captain Jim and his life-book are based on LMM‘s story, “The Life-Book of Uncle Jesse.” Here‘s a link to the story:

It reads like a preliminary sketch that LMM fleshed out in House of Dreams. If you have a chance to read it, please share your thoughts!

I was struck by this quote on the value of different life paths, specifically the roles that women choose for their lives (or the roles that society/circumstances choose for them). What do you think about the way House of Dreams portrays women‘s roles, through characters like Anne, Leslie, and Miss Cornelia?

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?

I posted about this series on Threads and some people said to skip this book all together. Yet, somehow someway I‘m enjoying it.
so-soThis was a reread for #kindredspiritsbuddyread. When I read through the series in 2023, I went in the order the books take place. In publication order, this one joins up with the others a little better. However, I still had the same overall feeling as before. I miss the Avonlea characters and I miss the more determined Anne. The "Dick Moore" storyline makes me uncomfortable. Gilbert and Anne take a backseat to Jim and Cornelia. Just don't love it.
so-so3✨ This did not capture me as much as Anne of Green Gables did, but it still had a lot of dialogue providing food for thought. I really like that she made connections with others that use their imagination to survive the sad and painful parts of life. #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
pickRead this for the second time #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
It has been more than ten years, so all the details were as fresh, surprising, and emotional as the first time. I adore this series. Glad to revisit it.
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! ⤵️
