Now Playing Tracks

fairytalesfor20somethings:

T’was the night before Christmas and in every room,

The family was up partying without a trace of gloom.

They forgot their worries, cares, and frights,

And let themselves be present with each other for tonight.

The brothers joked around like they were kids again,

While their parents wondered, “When did they become men?”

They all got drunk on eggnog and beers,

Telling stories no one had thought of in years.

And when they finally all snuggled up tight in their beds, 

The same thought ran through each of their heads:

I’m so lucky, more lucky than I know how to say,

To have this family, to have had this day.

Emily of New Moon

Okay, so it’s no secret that I love the Anne of Green Gables series. I’ve openly admitted on this blog that if I could marry one literary character, it would be Gilbert Blythe. No one is arguing this point. So imagine my delight when I discovered another series by the genius L.M. Montgomery! This is the first book in that series, which is only three books long. It’s about, you guessed it, a quirky orphan named Emily. It’s a really sweet story and I loved this book. It feeds the literary part of my soul in such a satisfying way. SO glad to be reading more from the brilliant mind behind Anne of Green Gables. Visiting P.E. Island is totes on my bucket list.
