The month of December was so busy that even though I had two weeks off I never had time to post about the books that I was reading, so here it is:
After reading Mother Carey's Chickens I was rather on a classics kick. I reread The Emily Starr Trilogy by L.M. Montgomery, who is most well known as the author of the Anne of Green Gables series. I found it on Amazon for the Kindle for 99 cents and it is still that price. The formatting of this one is a bit off but it was readable. The italics did not come through, as Emily has a bad habit of using italics, yet I still enjoyed reading it.
The first book in the trilogy was Emily of New Moon. (I am including the link for the paperback in case you are interested in that vs the Kindle version.) Emily is a young girl with imagination. Her mother has passed away and she lives with her father...at first. Shortly into the book he passes away as well. Her mother's family, the Murrays, comes along and they must decided what will be done with her. Where will she live? What will be done with her? She embarks on a new life, living at New Moon. She learns what it means to be a Murray.
In Emily Climbs, Emily hones her skill of being a writer. She wants to go to school in Shrewsbury but has been told she would be allowed to go if she will give up writing. Can she give up writing for an education? What type of adventures await Emily in the years to come?
In Emily's Quest, Emily learns about love and heartache. She handles the disappointments of life with grace and poise.
I started a couple other books I am sure during the month, but in the hustle and bustle of December I did not get far enough along to write about them.
