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) 21h

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? 11h

Emily of New Moon | Lucy Maud Montgomery

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. 1d

lauraisntwilder ☹️ I see no reason for this book to have been abridged. 1d

BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie I‘m SO disappointed! @lauraisntwilder Right?!? How could Megan Follows be part of this kind of travesty?! 1d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean it makes no sense. 1d

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. 🙄 11h

Dandelion | Jamie Chai Yun Liew

pick

A motherless daughter recalls her upbringing after her mother left their family in British Columbia to return to her homeland in Brunei. Now that Liew is a mother herself, she‘s unable to stop thinking about her own who she last saw when she was 11 years old. This is a memoir of searching for answers: how could her mother abandon their family? Where is she? Is she still alive? What is the meaning of “home”?

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. 3d

TheBookHippie I adore this read! Enjoy!!! 3d

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. 🩷 3d

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. 2d

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!! 2d

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
