Thought for the Day #LyonStrategic #LMMontgomery

Rebuilding my old Anne of Green Gables collection again, one set at a time. Purchased this set from one of my suking Facebook booksellers. Now on the lookout for the 5 other books in the series.

(also for the Emily of New Moon trilogy, uncomfortably *creepy* as that entire series made me feel when I was a kid 😅)

Do you have a favorite book that’s also a comfort book?

Mine is Anne of Green Gables. The whole series, really. My favorite of the series is Anne of the Island, but I love them all.

It’s not a great deal of difference whether I win the Avery or not. I’ve done my best and I begin to understand what is meant by the ‘joy of the strife.’

Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing

Last night, I read a short story by Lucy Maud Montgomery(author of Anne of Green Gables) from 1903 called The Strike at Putney.

It’s about a group of ladies who are told by the church elders and minister that a missionary woman can't speak in the church, because a woman cannot preach from the pulpit. So they go on strike.

I was delighted to read this story from 120 years ago about women opposing patriarchalism in church.

I have a question about #LMMontgomery that I'm hoping someone on #bookstodon might have some insight about! We know that Cavendish was the inspiration for Avonlea; do we know where was the inspiration for Blair Water, in the #EmilyofNewMoon books?

LM Montgomery's best books, in order are:
- The Blue Castle
- Emily of New Moon
- Emily's Quest
- Jane of Lantern Hill

Ok so earlier I saw #BooksOfMastodon having people share favorite authors, but now see the #7bookschallenge. So here are mine:
-Squire by #TamoraPierce (really her entire bibliography, tbh)
-Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale by #HollyBlack
-Jane Eyre by #CharlotteBronte
-Anne of Green Gables by #LMMontgomery
-The Dark Is Rising by #SusanCooper
-An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by #HankGreen
-Lumberjanes from Boom! Studios

It’s really hard to narrow this down to 7, to be honest. 😅

Can we include cookbooks? I'm really enjoying the #HalfBakedHarvest books right now.

You are not immune to #LMMontgomery Blue Castle propaganda. (The book is so good!)

I finished "the Adventure of Huckleberry Finn" finally. Today I got 2 books, "'Under the net'' by #Irismurdoch and "After many years" by #LMmontgomery from the library.

I read under the net a bit. It seemed very good as usual. I think she is my most favorite novelist.
