  Welcome to part 9 of my ongoing series of books I don't see talked enough about online! I hope you like these books, too. Links to Goodreads summaries will be provided.  You can check out previous parts here: Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4 , Part 5 , Part 6 , Part 7 , Part 8 1. Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech . A sentimental tale of a girl who tries to heal her family from their problems when she uncovers a hidden trail leading from her town to the next town over. Also deals with her first crush on a boy who may or may not like her back.  2. Serafina series by Robert Beatty (link takes you to the first book). A fascinating historical fantasy series of an eccentric girl and her best friend solving mysteries in and around the Biltmore estate in Asheville, North Carolina. I personally recommend reading just the first 3 books. Book 4 doesn't add much.  3. The Story Girl by LM Montgomery . A cozy, slice of life book set on Prince Edward Island in Canada of two br...

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...

  (Pic was found on Google Images) Another underrated and great book by LM Montgomery ! The Story Girl is about two brothers, Beverly and Felix King, who go to visit their cousins (named Felicity, Cecily, and Dan King) in Prince Edward Island for the summer, and part of the fall. The book in general is slice of life with no overarching plot, and it follows the situations, ranging from serious to comical, of the King cousins and some other friends. The family friends include Sarah Ray, a neighbor, and Peter, a hired boy for one of the wealthy families in the area, but the family friend that stands out the most is neighbor Sarah Stanley, or The Story Girl, which is what everyone calls her, because she loves to tell all kinds of stories. It’s also not to confuse her with Sarah Ray. The Story Girl likes to tell stories that have happened to people they know in their community, or stories she makes up herself, or even fairy tales and mythology. Almost every chapter of the book has Th...
