Rilla is on my Classics Club list too so I...Evelyn,<br />Rilla is on my Classics Club list too so I'll get to it & post about it sometime! :) I've heard many good things about it so I'm looking forward to that... but I have two others to read first. :) You should definitely read the earlier ones! :D<br /><br />Millie,<br />Haha, I think you've done that every time I've finished an Anne book. "Glad you liked it, you're going to LOVE the next one." Heehee. ;) Good to know Miss Cornelia will be there! Yay! By the way, I was pleased when Anne mentioned to her about it being similar to Cordelia. Because I think I thought of that one of the first times I heard there was a character with that name. ;)<br />And thank you, my knowledgeable Tween! ;) Now I know. Haha. And proberly whenever I read anything about that in the Bible or it's talked about in church, I will think of the Anne books... ;)<br /><br />Jane,<br />Well, you must have very good taste in books then! Heehee. ;) Thanks for commenting! <br /><br />Jessica,<br />Heehee! I remember always seeing those books around the house, in windowsills and on coffee tables and the arms of couches and so forth. ;) Shocking that I've taken this long to read them...<br /><br />Maddie Rose,<br />Thanks! :) With such delightful books I'm torn between reading them as fast as I can, and dragging them out to make them last longer. I'm glad you like my blog. :)<br /><br />Miss Bennet,<br />Oooh, yes, Charlotte Bronte's infamous opinion about Miss Austen. I almost feel like I'm betraying my dear favorite author to even like Jane Eyre. ;) How chagrined Charlotte would be if she knew that so many people get "Jane Eyre" and "Jane Austen" mixed up... hahaha. <br />Well, I must say Sir Percy's love of adventure above a lot of other things (and that it's partially that and not just a strong desire to save people :P) was not something I found very admirable. He's a bit to foolhardy. Recklessness does not appeal to me. <br />But let's not argue, indeed not. ;) It's good to know you like Mr. Knightley better. <br />And don't think of apologizing! When it comes to comments, the longer the better! :) And I'll have to stop by your watch-along sometime... <br /><br />Eliza,<br />Splendid! I'm glad you've decided not to be a lurker. ;) I sometimes wonder who reads my blog that I don't know about! :)<br />Ha, it isn't a bit strange that you always like posts relating to classics or period dramas... and that's pretty much all I even have on my blog. ;) <br />Ah, Mr. Rochester... I can never decide about him. I don't completely dislike him, but there are times when he angers me a lot. ;) At least he's not boring...<br />Hope to see you around more in the future! :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-77775020288739005132013-06-28T09:28:45.870-06:002013-06-28T09:28:45.870-06:00I have officially decided to stop being a lurker o...I have officially decided to stop being a lurker of blogs I like.:) <br /><br />I liked reading this post a great deal (Strangely enough, I always like posts relating to classics or period dramas.)Of these five books, I have read both Anne books and Jane Eyre. I haven't read the Anne books for quite a few years, but I remember enjoying both of them quite a bit, especially Anne of Windy Poplars. Jane Eyre was never my favorite classic (due largely to Mr. Rochester), but it is certainly a fun-to-read one.Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318537466917254998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-77073536325730167462013-06-24T06:26:57.376-06:002013-06-24T06:26:57.376-06:00Yay! I love Anne's House of Dreams as well! ...Yay! I love Anne's House of Dreams as well! Miss Cornelia is so funny and Captain Jim is one of my favorite characters in the entire series. <br />I was thinking of reading Pygmalion, so I'm glad you reviewed it. I've definitely made up my mind to read it now. :)<br />I was furious with St. John sometimes too! I definitely agree with your thoughts on Jane Eyre. I almost didn't read it because of the introduction which told me that Charlotte Bronte thought that...well, go this link and you'll find out. <br />http://austenonly.com/2012/03/06/charlotte-bronte-george-henry-lewes-and-the-vexed-question-of-jane-austen/<br />I had to agree with some of her points, but definitely not all of them!<br />I'm not going to argue with you about TEP. Suffice to say that until I read that book, I didn't realize what a hero Percy really was. TEP made me like TSP better. But...I still prefer Mr. Knightley. ;)<br /><br />By the way, I'm holding a P&P95 watch-along on my blog, if you're interested.<br />Great reviews, and I'm sorry about the long comment! :)Miss Jane Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990860661370730793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-6436127995560599442013-06-19T21:27:07.979-06:002013-06-19T21:27:07.979-06:00Oh my goodness, I loved all your reviews. I've...Oh my goodness, I loved all your reviews. I've read most of the books you reviewed and I agree with you. And you must read all the Anne books as fast as you can!!! They are my favorites... actually, anything written by L.M. Montgomery I like. :) That's all, just thought I'd comment saying I agree with you and I love your blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537654678696215193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-73016228699891140642013-06-17T14:47:05.665-06:002013-06-17T14:47:05.665-06:00Yes, Miss Dashwood is correct about "the race...Yes, Miss Dashwood is correct about "the race that knows Joseph". How very Biblical of Miss Cornelia. ;-) I love that book! Probably my favorite Anne book.

And I agree, the Anne books (make that anything by LM Montgomery!) are delightful!<br />And Miss Dashwood explained the race of Joseph quote, perfectly. At least, that's what I've always thought Miss Cornelia meant. I thought she explained it in the books, didn't she? Now I've got to go check up on that one!Jane Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034439635328454093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-78869932521274785852013-06-14T16:28:17.112-06:002013-06-14T16:28:17.112-06:00Oooooh, I'm so glad you loved the Anne books.....Oooooh, I'm so glad you loved the Anne books... you're going to ADORE Ingleside. I know it's mostly about Anne's kids but it has such an Anne-ish feel. And Miss Cornelia is in it a lot. :D <br /><br />And thy knowledgeable Tween has the answer to the race that knows Joseph question. :D It's referring to the pharaoh of Egypt who ruled when the Israelites were escaping Egypt-- you know, the one who knew not Joseph. :D Obviously he was not a kindred spirit. So one who DOES understand about things is one who DOES know Joseph. Seeeeeee? (Took me quite a while to figure that one out... and I may actually be mistaken, haha. IDK. I'm really just guessing. But it makes sense to me so... yeah.)Miss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-46817734949364781492013-06-14T10:19:16.985-06:002013-06-14T10:19:16.985-06:00A fun list of books!

Though, unfortunately I have only read the two Anne books... right now. =) I will hopefully, someday, read the others. =D<br /><br />I absolutely adore, Anne's house of Dreams. It is probably one of my favorite books, and it's one of my favorite Anne books. =D I too think it's a nice change of pace. =) Do let me know when you read Rilla of Ingleside? I love that one too. Super sweet!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130656303566915681noreply@blogger.com
