I saw you are reading the Emily books by LM Montgomery. Have you read them before? I like them so much. They have a very fall-like feel for me. 🍁🍂🍃

Yes!! I read them once eight or so years ago so there’s a lot about them that I’ve forgotten and am now rediscovering. They have a fall-like feel to me as well, there’s just a certain cozy coming-home vibe that I think characterizes so much of L.M. Montgomery’s writing. I recently finished rereading the Anne series and I kind of think the Emily series feels like the Anne series’s older, slightly more melancholy sister. Have you read any of Montgomery’s other books? I haven’t yet, but The Blue Castle is next on my list!

#for some reason with this second reading the character i have fixated on is dean priest #i am equal parts fascinated and horrified by him #i think he’s one of the most interesting characters in the whole series #complex mysterious imaginative intelligent melancholic kind of bitter and also a little pathetic #the friendship between him and emily is lovely and sweet and interesting but it is also weird and creepy as heck at the same time #because right now she is fifteen and he is her father’s age #and you know he’s just waiting for her to be ‘’old enough’’ to pursue romantically #and then there’s dear sweet personality-less teddy #i want to like him so bad but there’s just nothing there to like!#although i really enjoy the whole each-comes-when-the-other-calls thing #teddy by whistling like a bird #and emily by straight up using the Force #i kind of love the dynamic between ilse and perry #perry just repeatedly does embarrassing things without knowing or caring #and ilse gets very embarrassed on his behalf and it makes her so angry that she has to yell at him just to let off steam #she’s so mean to him! but it’s kind of funny #i can’t remember if they get married at the end of the last book?#anyway thank you for giving me an opportunity to ramble stupidly about these books 😆
