Anne is in this title so little. It's good but I miss her.

This was a fun read. I quite enjoyed it. It was refreshing to follow the Meredith family for once.

I have a much better appreciation of this book than I did when I had first read it a long time ago. I love how Anne has matured and evolved over the series but still retains much of what made so many people love her from the original Green Gables book.

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread - House of Dreams Discussion 3/3

🏡 For those who are re-reading, what was it like to read this book right after Anne of the Island instead of after Anne of Windy Poplars?

🏡 What elements of this book did you most enjoy? What did you dislike?

🏡 Final thoughts on Anne‘s House of Dreams?

CogsOfEncouragement It was nice to not have to wait for Anne and Gilbert‘s happiness! 3w
CogsOfEncouragement I enjoyed these characters in Anne‘s new neighborhood so much. I also really enjoyed the twist in Leslie‘s story (which I had completely forgotten) and her happily ever after. 3w
kwmg40 The chapter that stayed in my mind was the one describing the general election in Canada. I liked how friends, family and neighbours could disagree vehemently about politics but after the election, they could put those disagreements aside and carry on as before. I hope that's still the case today, but with all the vitriol I see in the news and social media, I'm not so sure! 3w

TheAromaofBooks It was weird to skip Windy Poplars, but kind of interesting to jump straight to their married life. It also does make more sense as far as secondary-character continuity goes (Rebecca Dew only appearing in WP and Ingleside). I love this book and found the ending, where they are getting ready to leave behind their home, especially poignant as I'm getting ready to move out of the house where we've lived for 10 years. I think LMM does an amazing job⬇ 3w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) keeping Anne and Gilbert true to their characters, while introducing new people and weaving the threads together. Someone like Captain Jim seems like he should be kind of annoying/ridiculous, yet comes through as realistic and lovable. Miss Cornelia seems like she ought to be a caricature, but the way that she shows genuine kindness and generosity to everyone around her instead makes her warm and interesting - and I actually totally ⬇ 3w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) love her getting married in the end! I guess I basically find it amazing how LMM can hit the right notes, creating vivid and realistic characters whose conversations and actions seems so natural. 3w

I posted about this series on Threads and some people said to skip this book all together. Yet, somehow someway I‘m enjoying it.

“Thanks be, I‘m done with geometry, learning or teaching it,” said Anne Shirley, a trifle vindictively, as she thumped a somewhat battered volume of Euclid into a big chest of books, banged the lid in triumph, and sat down upon it, looking at Diana Wright across the Green Gables garret, with gray eyes that were like a morning sky.

I have to admit, I was worried about this one because I couldn't imagine it having any plot conflicts. And while it didn't, I still enjoyed reading it and appreciating it for just being a charming book. #bookelevenof2024

This witchy retelling of Anne of Green Gables is utterly charming and stars Grace, an orphan who must complete a grimoire full of spells to become the witch of the wood‘s apprentice…or lose her magic. I loved the culturally diverse cast of characters, the magical twists on the classic story, and that more readers will encounter one of my favorite characters in literature! Highly recommended for fans of Netflix‘s Anne with an E, of course!

This is a beautiful book filled with gorgeous pictures of Prince Edward Island, many of them taken by LMM herself. I don‘t think there is anyone who is better at describing scenery than LMM and she has such an ability to transport you to another time. Highly recommended for fans of Anne, LMM or even if you just love flowers. 5⭐️
