Anne of Windy Poplars | Lucy Maud Montgomery

I took a long break from #AnneShirleyCuthbert only because I spent most of last summer immersed in her funny, chaotic world and I didn't want to run through the series too fast.

Little did I know when I hit Book 4, the tagged book, I'd get bored out of my mind. I love Anne, Marilla, Rachel, Gilbert!! I just don't love this book!

Anyone else feel the same? I'm pressing on bc I have the whole series but I need encouragement that it gets better! 🥴

BarbaraJean I‘ve been doing a chapter-a-day buddy read of the series & we finished Windy Poplars a couple weeks ago. It was not a popular book with the group! I have fond memories of reading these as a child, so I love them all...but the last third of Windy Poplars was a bit tiresome this time. The last few chapters return to Little Elizabeth and it picks up then. But I LOVE the next book so much! I‘d say keep going at least through Anne‘s House of Dreams! 4y

quietjenn I'm doing the readalong that @BarbaraJean mentioned and feel like I was one of the only ones who liked this one - although I do agree that the last third felt off. Still worth it though! 4y

bibliobliss @BarbaraJean I can definitely manage a chapter a day (probably more than one, as some of them are quite short) and the book is not long. I can imagine "Windy Poplars" not being popular with a book group; I wonder if it's because the book is filled with letters/correspondence. I think that might be one reason it's not my favorite. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes and the next book. If you say press on, I'll trust your judgment!! ? 4y

bibliobliss @quietjenn Gotcha!! I'll keep going. There might be a hidden gem somewhere in there!! 4y
