1. Who introduced you to L. M.
Montgomery's writing? Tell us the story!
No one, really. My first introduction to L.M. Montgomery was Anne of Green Gables. I read and reviewed it (in Bahasa Indonesia) in 2009, and it was among
the first books which influenced me to love classics.
2. What LMM books have you read?
As far as I can remember, only Anne
of Green Gables (shame on me!) I owned a book rental then an online second-hand
bookstore back in 2015-2018, and during that time I’ve purchased translations
of the Anne series, which my clients love, but I didn’t remember ever read
them.
3. What movies or shows based on
her books have you watched?
Anne with an E on Netflix – loved it!
And it brought back memories of reading LMM. I’ve been wanting to read more of Anne's since that!
4. Which LMM character is your
kindred spirit, the one you'd like to hang out with in real life?
I would love to hang out with Jane
Victoria Stuart from Jane of Lantern Hill. She’s amiable and relates much with nature.
It would be awesome to take a stroll and maybe a little picnic with her!
5. Which LMM character do you
relate to the most? And why?
I’m not sure, but maybe Diana from
Anne of Green Gables? I didn’t remember her much, but from Anne with an E TV
series, she seems calm and mature, always wants to please others. Yet, courageous enough to stand on her own (well... thanks to her friendship with Anne, of course)
6. Have you ever been to Prince
Edward Island?
Nope, though I would love to if I
had chance to go abroad some day!
7. Who is your favorite LMM
heroine?
Since I’ve read only two LMM’s so
far, I don’t have much to choose from, so I’ll go with Jane Victoria Stuart.
8. Who is your favorite LMM hero?
Jane’s father: Andrew Stuart
9. Do you have any fun merch
related to her books? If so, please
share some photos!
No. I seldom collect bookish merch anyway. 😊
10. What are some of your favorite
LMM quotations?
"When you reread a classic you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before." — Clifton Fadiman

The LMM Tag
"There is no pleasure in life
like the joy of achievement." ~ Jane of Lantern Hill
“I can talk a blue streak when the spirit moves me. When it doesn't I like
people to let me be.” ~ Jane of Lantern Hill
I like Diana, I think she's a great character although we don't get much of her point of view in the books. Jane Stuart is also a terrific character.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
Thanks, Lissa! I got to "know" Diana more from the TV series Anne with an E. At least she speaks for herself there.
DeleteHow cool that AoGG helped you learn to love classic book!
ReplyDeleteAren't Jane and her father wonderful? I love their story a lot. In fact, Lantern Hill is my third-favorite LMM book, after The Blue Castle and Anne of Green Gables :-)
I wish I had a cool father like Jane's! :D
