I finished this on Saturday and forgot to post. I loved revisiting New Moon in this reread. Reading LMM's journals has deepened my appreciation of her novels.

Do you agree with LMM that this is the best book she‘s written (thus far in her life)?
What criteria do you use when considering what is a “best book”? For you, is “best” different from “favorite”?

For those of you who are re-reading, is there anything that landed differently for you on this reading?
If you‘re also reading the journals—how did the context of the journals affect your reading of the book?

As I was reading, I had a couple ideas I thought would be great for discussion questions. I was going to get up & note them down, but I was lazy and told myself of course I‘d remember. Well. I forgot. So. General discussion post! (I do have a couple of other questions I‘ll post separately)
What are your thoughts on Emily of New Moon? What themes, characters, scenes, or quotes stand out to you?
“The happiest countries, like the happiest women, have no history,” said Dean.
“…like all female creatures, you form your opinions by your feelings.”
Every time I read this, I discover more reasons to hate Dean Priest. #LMMReread #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
Goodness, I love Father Cassidy so much. I wish we had more of him than we get!!

I don‘t generally advocate drinking your feelings, but tonight this lady needs a drinky drink and a comfort read.
Hello, Kindred Spirits! Just a quick check-in on how your reading is going this week!
How are you enjoying Emily of New Moon so far?
What stands out to you from this week's chapters?
I‘m loving Emily and her world, as always. Emily is a delight and Cousin Jimmy is such a gift to her grieving spirit. I love seeing the parallels between Emily‘s writing and LMM‘s writing. And I want to shake Aunt Elizabeth. 😡

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

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
