Lucy Maud Montgomery


Note: I started this page with the Anne series, but have since been updating it with everything else Montgomery ever wrote as well. 

I'd been hearing plenty of nostalgia about Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne series recently. Along with everything else she ever wrote, they are heart-warming classics which I read many times during my childhood and youth. Anne is a genuinely beautiful soul whose happy outlook can't help rubbing off on readers. Even though I've referred to them lots since starting this blog, I hadn't read them for many years. It was time to change that

They're easy, pleasurable reads, and each write-up includes aspects I still love, things that didn't impress me so much this time round, and great quotes.

And just to add a bit more fun, I gave each book an alternative title to match the F.R.I.E.N.D.S sitcom format. If you've read the series before, these might spur your memory, and if you haven't, they'll stimulate your curiosity. I hope this will be a good resource for anybody who ever wants to embark in an Anne-athon of their own.
