Every January Carrie‘s hosts a Lucy Maud Montgomery Reading Challenge.
Last year for the challenge I finished rereading all of the Anne books, so I’ve been looking forward to exploring new-to-me L. M. M. territory. I decided to go with the Emily books: Emily of New Moon, Emily’s Quest, and Emily’s Climb, partly because they were the next ones she published, partly because I think I have heard more about them than some of the others.
I am going to commit to reading at least the first one. I’d like to read all of them, but so far the library has on hold for me only the last two: if it can get the first one in in time for me to read all of them, I’d like to do that and complete the set this month. The Anne books went fairly quickly, so I am trusting these will, too.
If you’d like to fins out more about the challenge or see what others plan to read for it, you can check out Carrie’s post about it here.
This challenge dovetails with Carrie’s Reading to Know Book Club for the month of January, which focuses classics this year, and we are invited to read any L.M. Montgomery title of our choosing.
Stray Thoughts 
Yay! An Emily reader. (I think it’s you and Amy for Emily this year.) Most everyone I’ve seen is re-reading Pat. I hope the library is able to get hold of the first title for you quickly!
Yep–it’s me and you, Barbara. I, too, am only planning to read book one; anything after that is “gravy.” This will be at least my third time through, so it should go quickly for me, as well. I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts!
Happy reading, Barbara! I do not know much about this author, and I wish I could join in just for pure curiosity, but I promised myself no additional reading challenges for the year. I have to focus on getting my Italian right. LOL!
