Still Reading: Emily Climbs
Have been reading Emily Climbs on and off the whole day after watching TLK.
There are a TON of great audiobooks of Emily of New Moon. This is the one I'm most familiar with, it's on the Libby app. It is part of the audible plus collection :)
There are only 2 audiobooks of the sequel, Emily climbs, or Emily #2.
And the only audible audiobook of Emily #3, Emily's Quest, is in Spanish.
This audiobook is pretty good. The narrator speaks very clearly. I kind of wish she put more emotion/feeling into it.
This was the other option - I really didn't want a man narrator.
The main problem I have with this book - as well as Anne book 3 and 4, is that everything feels disjointed and episodic.
Reading other works by LMM, I can see why Anne of GG is everyone's favourite. Really beautiful, cohesive story, profound characterizations, strong friendships, and slow-build romance.
The friendships in the Emily Series do seem a lot more shallow. Honestly, realistic to young girls today. I remember I had a lot of fights with friends in primary school. But it just made me miss Diana Barry so much. Rhoda, and even Illse, just don't compare.
I do love that we get to see Emily as a writer, going away to school, getting her poems published. Gives me Emily Dickinson feels. :D
Anne did have a "Story Club" with her friends, but I believe in the third book, she looks at her old stories from that time and laughs at how bad they are. The writing thing is more of a fun hobby for Anne. It isn't really pursued the way it is for Emily.
And of course, Emily collects cats. Being a cat person, I did enjoy that. :)

This art is so beautiful. You almost feel like you could step into the picture and walk with Emily, barefoot and in the moonlight.
Also listened to a bit of this from Audible Plus.
Still feeling really weak. Didn't really do much today, just kind of rested.
Tomorrow I will sit down and get my ODSP application done. I just have to put my mind to it, in the morning.
Thanks for bearing with me. Throwing up, the way I did last night, is a huge stress on the system. I still am not sure why it happens.
