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...

  Have you ever read a book that was so good that you thought "this would make a perfect movie or tv show?" That's how I feel about the books on this list. What books do you think need adaptations?  1. Heartless by Marissa Meyer -it's a retelling of Alice in Wonderland and a villain origin story all rolled into one! Lots of people love those two tropes. They'd work perfectly in a movie. 2. Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee -an Achillean (gay) romance story with a diverse cast, set in New York City, and involves cooking. Might be perfect who people who are fans of Heartstopper and similar pieces of media.  3. The Cupcake Diaries series by Coco Simon -I could see these being an animated series for young kids. 4. The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery -a movie adaptation of this might attract people who like historical fiction and romance. Perfect for cottagecore lovers, too! 5. Any of Margaret Peterson Haddix's books, such as the Shadow Children series -they are al...

So I first saw this tag over on the YouTube channel of Mara from bookslikewhoa (check out her video here !), but the tag is originally from another book blog It's a Books World (the original post here ).  As always, I never tag anyone, so feel free to do this tag if you see it! I'd love to see your answers. 1. An overhyped classic you did not like.  Yikes, I have too many answers for this one! I've already said Pride and Prejudice before in two other book tags I did (the first time I did the Unpopular Opinions book tag and Musicals Go Bookish tag ), so I will go with another one I didn't like that I haven't mentioned yet, and that's The Outsiders by SE Hinton . I had this book as a required reading way back in middle school and I thought the story was sooo sad! Even my 12 year old self couldn't understand why we had to read it for school. Even now as an adult I would not consider reading it for fun. Reading about gangs fighting each other is sooo not my th...

  I was tagged in this challenge over on Instagram by @edit.write.read.caffeinate . Check out her page! And as always, I don't tag anyone specifically. Feel free to do this tag if you feel like it! T-A book that taught me something: Laziness Does Not Exist by Dr. Devon Price . (You can see my review for it here ). This book was all about embracing rest and how being a workaholic is a product of capitalism.  E-A book I didn't want to end: I am kind of cheating with this answer because it's actually a graphic novel series, but I will say the Bone series by Jeff Smith . As of writing this post I have 5 books left to read in the series and the story is soooo good I don't want it to end just yet ! There is smaller additional material but I don't feel like reading all of it. I am only reading the main series.  A-A book by an author I love: The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery . I read it last year and it was an instant favorite (review here )! I might be done with the Anne se...

  These are some books that I have read and loved but I don't see a lot of other people talk about them on Bookstagram/Booktube/wherever else people talk about books. So I recommend you check out all of these titles if your reading tastes are very similar to mine! 1. Mandy by Julie Andrews Yes, this was written by that Julie Andrews. It is about a 10 year old girl named Mandy who grew up and lives in an orphanage, but she always felt that she needed a place of her own. One day as she is exploring the woods behind the orphanage, she comes across an old abandoned cottage. She starts to secretly escape there everyday; tidying up the cottage and growing a garden there. Eventually her secret visits to the cottage lead her to a life-changing event. It's a really sweet and heartwarming book. If you like cottagecore-esque books with great characters similar to Anne of Green Gables , you'll love Mandy! 2. Running out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix This was actually Haddix's...

  This book is more proof LM Montgomery is one of my favorite authors ever. The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery is a classic romance novel taking place in the 1920s in Deerwood, a fictional city in Ontario, Canada. Our main character is 29-year old Valancy Stirling, who is considered an "old-maid" and shunned by her family because she is 29 years old and not married yet. Valancy has also felt that she has always got the short end of the stick when it came to everything in her family, and she wishes to get away from them to finally live the life she wants. She at first mostly does this by daydreaming about a blue castle where she has everything she's ever wanted. Valancy also gets sick frequently, and one day she gets a letter in the mail from her family doctor that she only has a year left to live. Wanting to live her last year of life to the fullest, Valancy finally stops being a doormat towards her family. She also leaves them by going to take care of a sickly family frie...
