Hello, Dear Book Friends!!
It's time for me to share another vintage book collection with you—woo-hoo! This time, I'm featuring books by (and about) L.M. Montgomery! (Also, there is a very special reason for this blog post—so keep reading! Scroll down to the EXCITING NEWS if you can't wait...lol!)
So, without further ado, here is my collection!

When I was young, I didn't read many children's classics (except for Heidi by Johanna Spyri...which is still an all-time favorite book) and I regret that. Since my parents were both very busy working hard to support our family, they didn't have the extra time to introduce these books to me. Though I'm very happy that I'm able to read these lovely books at my advanced age (52!), I do wish I could go back in time and read them with a younger mind.
One of the books on this "missed classics" list is Anne of Green Gables. I have a strong feeling that I would be loving this series even more now if the nostalgia factor was involved—as it is with The Little House on the Prairie series. But, better late than never, right? Thanks to my dear friend Caro, I'm able to make up for lost time and enjoy the enthusiastic, imaginative and romantic stories of L.M. Montgomery. Yay!
The list below show all of the books I've read so far (by and about L.M. Montgomery), including ratings and links to a few book reviews. (I'll try to update this list as I read more books.) What are your favorite titles? Which books would you recommend for me to read next?
BOOK RATINGS:
- Anne of Green Gables 4🌟

After meeting Caro (@carosbookcase) on Bookstagram 2 1/2 years ago, we became very close friends and, now, we're finally going to meet each other in person on Prince Edward Island!! Yippppeee! I am beyond thrilled and so happy to finally meet my Bestie. Luckily, for the past couple of years, we've been able to have weekly virtual crochet and movie dates (yippee!)—but, this is a whole new level of awesomeness! (Our current crochet blanket project is shown in the photos above!)
