L.M. Montgomery discussion

Hello,
I'm Michaela, and I absolutely LOVE L.M. Montgomery (especially her Anne series).
Can't wait to start reading her books together! :)

Yes! I love her books! :) Have you read the Story Girl yet? That's one of my favourites.

No, not yet. I have so very many I want to read that I don't know which to start with. :)

Hi, I'm Verity. I've only actually read one of L.M. Montgomery's books, so I guess I'm in the right place to start reading the rest of them!

I haven't read all of them, but I have read quite a few of them. I've read all of the Anne of Green Gables books, the Emily books, the Story Girl, the Golden Road, Chronicles of Avonlea, Further Chronicles of Avonlea, Magic for Marigold, and I think that's it...any suggestions for the next one? :)

Wow, you've read so many!

Hi! I'm Hannah :) L.M. Montgomery is one of my favorite authors. I've read her Anne series, her Emily trilogy, and 2 collections of her short stories. So excited to read more!

Welcome, Hannah Mary! :)

Hello, all!! :) I'm Annie and have been a fond lover of L.M. Montgomery's books for as long as I can remember. I grew up as a young girl reading Jane of Lantern Hill, Anne of Green Gables, and Pat of Silver Bush. Now that I am a young woman I've started to venture into more of her works over the years....the only books of hers that I haven't read (that I can think of) are Mistress Pat, A Tangled Web, Emily's Quest, and The Blue Castle. I just finished re-reading Rilla of Ingleside. :)

Welcome, Annie! :)

Hello fellow L.M. Montgomery book lovers! It's lovely to be a part of this group. :D

I just thought I would add a link if any of you are having trouble locating L.M. Montgomery books. Sometimes the less popular books can be difficult to find. :)

Welcome, Elizabeth!

Hello! I'm Rebecca. Glad to see so many L. M. Montgomery fans - she is my favorite author, and ever will be.
I've read all the Anne, all the Emily, all the Pat, the Story Girl, Kilmney of the Orchard, and two of her short story books. Can't wait to read more. :) And I love re-reading.

Welcome, Rebecca! Thanks for joining! :)

Hello everyone! I'm Leah :) I'm a bit of a latecomer to the party but I'm super excited to join! I adore L.M Montgomery... I've been reading her books since, well, before I can remember. Anne is one of my favourite book people ever :) I love all of her books that I've read, especially Rilla of Ingleside and Anne of Green Gables. Lovely to be a part of this group with you all!

Welcome, Leah! It's always wonderful to have another Montgomery {and Anne (I'm prejudiced, she's my favorite no matter what)} lover. :)

Thanks! :)

Hey Liza!! Thanks for joining! I'm going to set up the poll for the group read in January, so we should get alive again pretty soon! :D

Hello! My nickname is Tweety, I love L.M. Montgomery's writing and when I saw this group I couldn't resist inviting myself. Cheeky of me I know. ;)

I have read almost all of her books and loved nearly all. Thanks so much for excepting me! I can't wait to join a few group reads. :D

Hey, everyone! I'm Cari. I've been rereading the Emily trilogy lately and got to wondering if there were any groups on Goodreads based on L.M. Montgomery's books - and voila! :)

I've read her Anne series also, but it's been a long time, so I'm planning on rereading the entire series again soon.

Other books I've read: The Story Girl, The Golden Road, Jane of Lantern Hill, and some of her short stories. I'm excited to read her other books and discuss them with you all. :)

Yay, Caro! Thanks for joining! :)

Thanks for joining, Caro!! :P

no problem! now I have to try and be active :)

We all have to try, haha.

haha ikr

The first book by L.M. Montgomery I ever read was Anne of Green Gables. I think I was 10 when I first read it, now I read it once a year. Right now I'm reading The Golden Road and loving it. I'm on a bit of a L.M. Montgomery fix at the moment.

Hi! I'm claire and I'm new to this group. I LOVE L.M Montgomery and ALL of her AMAZING books.

It's a really good one! I listened to it on Librivox.org

Hey Claire! Welcome to the group. What is your favorite book of Montgomery's?

hmmmmm i think my favorite is The Story Girl or Emily Of New Moon :)

Can anyone recommend a good L.M. Montgomery biography?

Maud: The Life of L.M Montgomery is a good one

Thank you Claire.

Hello everyone! I'm so glad that L.M. Montgomery lived when and where she did. With all of the distractions in today's world, the stories may have been quite different if written today. Any opinions?

I agree with you Faye. They would be completely different stories. They wouldn't be as magical is that makes sense. I actually just started rereading Anne of Green Gables for the millionth time and it's still the best book I have ever read.

Hi Jessica! I agree. I am re-reading Anne of Avonlea right now and it's surprising what new things I see reading it now as an older adult. I look forward to reading other Montgomery books (shame on me - for the first time!). One of my best girl-friends is Canadian. We've talked about taking a trip to PEI to see the area on which Ms. Montgomery based her Anne stories.

Faye, taking a trip to PEI is my dream. I would love to visit the real Green Gables. I'm just now starting to read the Emily series. Never read it before. Have you and if so what did you think?

That would be so much fun Jessica!

Oh I know. Someday I hope to go.

No, I haven't read the Emily series yet, but hope to soon. If seeing PEI is your dream, don't let it go!

Don't worry I won't! Thanks!

I'm so happy to find a group dedicated to this wonderful woman's books, thank you for setting it up and keeping it going Michaela! I absolutely love all her books :)

Hello, ladies! Welcome to all the new members. :) I hope we'll be able to read a book together before the year is out.

My summer was weirdly hectic and I didn't get a lot of time to get on groups and chat with everyone. Hopefully that'll change. Back to school now, which means I'm on the computer like 24/7. ;)

I know, Cari! I've been so busy with school I don't even have time to read outside of school stuff at the moment! :( We'll have to see if we can do a group read in maybe November or October. Yes, we definitely need to hold a group read before the year ends. :)

Oh that sounds like fun! A group read would be great.

hello I'm Fran and I am a fan if LMM. I love Anne of Green Gables... glad to be here as well. Looking forward to read a book together with the group. Let me know :)
