We Love L. M. Montgomery Week!

 

Rachel's We 💓 L. M. Montgomery Week has arrived! 

 

Here are Rachel's customary giveaway prizes for the party and they are beautiful!

Who introduced you to L. M. Montgomery's writing? Tell us the story!

- It all started with watching the 1985 mini-series, Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea. I grew up watching them with my family and then when I got older I read the book.


What LMM books have you read?

- I actually haven't read that many. I've read Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars (which is my favorite so far!) and I'm currently reading Anne's House of Dreams. I also read The Blue Castle earlier this year and that was a fun read.


What movies or shows based on her books have you watched?

- Anne of Green Gables (1985), Anne of Avonlea (1987), Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story (2000), The Road to Avonlea series and Anne With an E (2017). 


Which LMM character is your kindred spirit, the one you'd like to hang out with in real life?

- Probably Rebecca Dew! She was great! Also Janet King and Olivia King too, there were my favorite characters in The Road to Avonlea.

Which LMM character do you relate to the most? And why?

- I'm sure if I've found a character that I relate to. Since I'm only halfway through the Green Gable series, I have yet to find a character than resonates with me. The problem is that L. M. Montgomery seemed to be determined that Anne and Gilbert be her primary heroes among the youth of Avonlea, that most of the other young supporting  characters are rather dull, aggravating or just have very little character. Unless they're older people.

Have you ever been to Prince Edward Island

- No! I want to though!

Who is your favorite LMM heroine?

- Muriel Stacey

Who is your favorite LMM hero?

- Gilbert Blythe ( my contribution post is about him)

Do you have any fun merch related to her books? If so, please share some photos!

- Unfortunately not.

What are some of your favorite LMM quotations?

- Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes.

Thank you for your comments : )

I love getting comments, long or short, whether you agree with me or not. .

Just be kind. I don't tolerate any rudeness at all. So just be careful with what you write and how you write it.
