She is definitely my most favorite author of all time (the Emily Books used to be my favorite over the Anne books, but now I'm not so sure).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09414780727940208425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-73945234073177512762013-01-22T14:17:50.499-09:002013-01-22T14:17:50.499-09:00Hello Amy!

I'm glad you found my blog :) And yes some of the people who read for librivox just don't really sound AT ALL like I imagine the characters to. In fact I truly hate some of the chapters (how they're read that is). And I guess there is just no copy of Windy Poplars to be found in audiobook form, maybe I'll find the time to record it for librivox (hahahahaha). Anyway I'm very very glad you have come to my blog. Be sure to follow it so you don't miss anything! And if you have a blog I'd love to follow along too...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09414780727940208425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-75597020996377722002013-01-22T12:37:40.231-09:002013-01-22T12:37:40.231-09:00Reading now that you're a mother, you'll c...Reading now that you're a mother, you'll cry more, take it from me! That first birth story, viewed from outside and so economically told... It shocks me to tears every time - but now I'm a mama myself the tears don't stop as quickly. I've lost babies myself. She tells it as though she experienced it herself. (She also wins on my most important criteria for any book dealing with infant death and pregnancy loss - the baby is NEVER forgotten.)arwen_tiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190775746566710752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-58092906533539857262013-01-22T11:56:37.861-09:002013-01-22T11:56:37.861-09:00I just found your blog a couple posts ago but I ju...I just found your blog a couple posts ago but I just wanted to tell you that I think you're really cool. And not in a creepy stalkerish sort of way. I just find that we have similarities. I personally am obsessed (obsessed!!) with my beloved Anne, P.E.I. and everything L.M. Montgomery. My summer does not officially start until I have read at least 3 of her books. I also live in AK (Anchorage) and have a wee ones - a 25 month old boy and a new baby due in July. And did I read somewhere that you had yours at GW? Those are my ladies! Anyhow, you're awesome and I hope you are not weirded out by me saying so.<br /><br />P.S. Holy cow the old British lady that does Dianas voice in Anne of Avonlea (or was it Anne of the Island? It's been 6 months since I listened to it) is like nails on a chalkboard.<br /><br />P.P.S. And where the heck is Windy Poplars?! I know it's the slowest book in the series but I was super disappointed when I couldn't find it on the Librivox list.
