I want to see prompts for all the L.M. Montgomery fandoms.

There's one for Jane of Lantern Hill!

Aaaaaaaaaa! Thank you for alerting me to this! I know everyone's all about Anne and Emily, but THIS was my favorite book growing up. The scene where she meets the man from the picture she'd been keeping in her drawer! When she gets her friend adopted by the nice old ladies! When she and her dad go house hunting! I'm getting choked up just thinking about it.

Awwww, you're welcome! I feel the same way. I actually didn't even read Emily of New Moon, and the Anne books got foisted on me at a point where they felt like required reading. Which is sad. BUT JANE. JANE IS THE BEST. She is so determined and competent. And there are such great friendships everywhere, and there are kittens, and cosy rugs, and yes.

I swear my love of moving house comes from this book. I love thinking about ways to occupy a house. And honestly now I'm tearing up too thinking about Robin and the way she could never say no to Grandmother. And Second Peter. And all the cooking.

Yes! All the cooking! It's amazing how it's a relatively short book yet packs so much in. The chapter where she and her mother have a day out in the city around Christmas time and the mom, who is normally SO UNHAPPY, has so much fun and starts giggling at something stupid on the bus and can't stop. I love it so much. Seriously tearing up right now.

I will always automatically say that white birch trees are the BEST trees, solely because the dad thinks so. That book brainwashed me in so many tiny ways.

AYRT

That book brainwashed me in so many tiny ways.

YUP.

(And just to twist the knife on the tearing-up thing, remember Jane's journey near the end when she thought A. was going to marry Morrow. Because hello, book, why do you have my heart on a chain and why do you keep jerking it.)

I know! And then you find out the mom finally stood up to Grandmother! *flailing* And A just laughs and laughs that anyone could think he was going to marry ANYONE BUT HER! *more flailing*

This has made my night, nonnie. I've never met anyone else who's read that book.

Aw, I'm so glad. And the best part is that I'm not even that letter writer, so there are at least three of us who love the book that much.

I don't own a copy - the book I read as a kid is decidedly my mother's copy, from which she will not part - but I was pleased to see it on the list of legally available-on-the-internet books in a recent Yuletide category post.
