Candy Bunny Reader

A new series where I talk and gush about authors whom I've read a lot from and love! The first Lucy Maud Montgomery book I read and loved was Anne of Green Gables , back when I was in middle school. It wasn't until my college years I found out there were more Anne books and she's written other books not about Anne during her lifetime.  I read the first two Anne sequels ( Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island ) and enjoyed them both! I can't say the same for Anne of Windy Poplars , the 4th book. I DNF it.  I found out on TV Tropes (link here , look at "Creator Backlash") that LM Montgomery didn't actually like writing most of the sequels of Anne of Green Gables . She put so many sequels out because the public and her publisher kept demanding it. Believe it or not, Anne of Windy Poplars was actually the 7th book published. It's like the Narnia series by CS Lewis  where the books were published out of order. So Windy Poplars is the 4th book in the ser...

  I am back with another installment of the underrated books series. I love making these. Here are 4 more books that I love that I barely see anyone talking about online. Hopefully you might read these too! 1. Jane of Lantern Hill by LM Montgomery -Jane Stuart lives with her kindly mother and harsh grandmother in a giant mansion in Toronto. Jane obviously does not get along well with her grandmother, and unfortunately doesn't get along well with the the other members of her mother's extended family, either. She also is unpopular at her school. The only friend she has is her next door neighbor, a girl around her age named Jody. One day, Jane receives news that her father who she thought was dead is actually alive--and she gets a letter in the mail from him asking her to visit him on Prince Edward Island for the summer. She's reluctant at first, but Jane goes to PEI and ends up having a wonderful summer with her dad and new friends. Jane also finds out more reasons on why h...

  (Pic was found on Google Images) Yup, another massively underrated book by LM Montgomery . I listened to it on audiobook this past month.  Jane of Lantern Hill is about Jane Stuart, who lives with her mother and grandmother in a mansion in Toronto. Jane does not have the best life there--her grandmother rules the place with an iron fist and is always being condescending towards Jane. Whenever Jane's other relatives visit, they are not kind to her either. Jane also gets bullied a lot at her school. Only Jane's mother and Jane's next door neighbor and friend Jody are kind to her--but Jane doesn't get to see them every single day (mother likes to go out to parties and hang out with friends, and Jody works as a maid at the boarding house she stays at and the landlady doesn't let her see Jane everyday). The main reason Jane's grandmother isn't kind to her was because she didn't approve of the marriage between her mother and father, so she despises Jane for ...
