Favorite Anne Shirley book?

I’m so curious to see what wins!! Or I mean….what wins second place lmao…I’m so sorry but I can only put in 6 options so I’ll group some of them. Personally I loved Anne of Avonlea and Anne’s House of Dreams<3. Also enjoyed the first part of Anne of Windy Poplars but the second part got pretty stale for me. And if somebody would like to share why they liked a certain book the most I’d love to hear it!!!

How L.M Montgomery’s mental state influences her writing.

Hello!! Beware, this is just a random yapping session. I always found it interesting that you can (at least to me) tell how Maud was feeling when writing a book. I know that her life overall was pretty depressing but I guess you can tell when it was worse:,D.
I actually really like the Pat series! At least more than others from what I’ve seen lmao. I guess I just kinda accepted Pat’s….patness. But apparently someone argued that the main characters insistence on having everything stay the same could be a reflection of a post WW1 going through numerous changes. While reading the book I just went “kinda weird girl, but okaaaaay” and just rolled with it, but still, fascinating!
I’m not gonna talk about Windy Poplars for long but I can just say that I could feel that Maud was tired of the Anne series. A character could appear for one chapter and their only problem would be fixed in the next or same one (and never to be seen again, rip).
I think “Anne’s house of dreams” was actually one of my favorites- but did Leslie’s backstory feel jarring to anybody? I actually ended up loving her a lot (since she’s one of the more complicated characters in the series imo), but the way Miss Cornelia started lore dumping about what happened to Leslie was strange to me because It felt like these kind of details would’ve been more omitted in the other books- reading that chapter I was thinking “I wonder what the hell was going on in the authors life….” and lo and behold, the book was released in 1917.
Haven’t read Rainbow Valley or Rilla yet, but I’ve heard things about Rilla specifically that make me a little worried about how much I will cry…..
Thank you for reading<3!!

What to read next?

Hello!! I hope I’m writing on the right subreddit lol. I’m kinda stuck on the Anne Shirley series because my local library does not have the 7th part (and I don’t want to skip). I kid you not- after my mother asked if they have the 7th instalment a few weeks later I found 2 Anne of Inglesides and no Rainbow Valley, lmao. Might have to look for it in a different place but now I’m on the Pat series- I enjoy it a lot!! I’m now in the middle of Mistress Pat but what is the next series you guys would recommend? I’ve heard high praise for Emily but I’m still curious.

ART CRITIQUE PLEASE!!

Hello!! These are one of my most recent drawing on digital. I’m curious on what I could improve because I think I’m weaker with digital than traditional:D. Also I just realized like 3 of these drawings reference alien stage lol.
