Further Chronicles of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery Review

Good Morning Bookish Friends :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

I'm Kirby, and I'm so grateful you're here.

One of my co-workers yesterday asked me what books I like to read, and who I would list as my favorite author. As I started explaining the many genres I read across, and the many authors I consider my favorite, I realized just how much I appreciate having this little corner of the internet to share with you all.

In a lot of ways, I don't really fit into the niches of the book world, as I mainly read Christian fiction, but still do enjoy some secular fiction as well. Within Christian fiction I read across a ton of different genres, and I'm grateful to have so many different options available to me.

One genre I continue to love getting to read within is the classics, and today I'd like to share my review for another one of L.M. Montgomery's beloved novels.

If you'd like to check out my review of the first title in the series, you can do so using the link below:

Nestled between the ocean and the hills of Prince Edward Island is a road. This road leads to the house—Green Gables—where a girl named Anne grew up, and to the wonderful place called Avonlea.

In this second volume of heartwarming tales by L. M. Montgomery, a Persian cat plays an astonishing part in a marriage proposal; a ghostly appearance in a garden leads a woman to the fulfillment of her youthful dreams; a young girl risks losing her mother to find the father she never knew; and a foolish lie threatens to make an unattached woman a laughingstock when an imaginary lover actually comes to town. Filled with warmth, humor, and mystery, these unforgettable stories re-create the enchanting world of Avonlea.

My Review:

Further Chronicles of Avonlea is another collection of short stories by author L.M. Montgomery, set in her fictional town of Avonlea. It takes place after Anne of Green Gables, and a few familiar faces once again pop up throughout the stories.

I actually ended up enjoying this collection even more than I did the first, and I loved the heart that you could tell the author put into each and every one. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and they will all pull at your heartstrings as the illustrate the hard times facing the residents of this lovely community.

Another wonderful collection from one of my favorite authors. Full of whimsical writing, picture perfect settings, and original stories that leaves the reader glued to the page. I wholeheartedly enjoyed this one, and I can't possibly recommend it enough.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
