I'm reading Lucy Maud Montgomery's "Emily's Quest":

Ilse stumbled on the happy idea of pick-out your favourite star.

"Mine is Sirius. Lorne?"

"Antares of the Scorpion--the red star of the south," said Halsey.

"Bellatrix of Orion," said Emily quickly.

...!

Well, she is clairvoyant and considered weird by many. And comes from an old pure-blood respectable family.

I translated your fic, btw. Haven't posted it yet, but can send it to you if you like.

Eeee!
I must read that again!

Unfortunately, it's only this short passage in the second last chapter in book 3. No other references to Death Eaters have been made *g* But it made me giggle.

I loved those Emily books!

*had forgotten all about them*

The Anne ones are good too, although a bit preachy at moments...

I've never been much into Emily. I read Emily Climbs and Emily's Quest years ago, and Emily of New Moon a few months ago for the first time, because I needed to learn the background stories alluded to in Climbs and Quest. I'm not too sure about the books. They're a bit too disjointed to be a smooth read (the diary-style chapters), but there is some compelling darkness underlying the plot, which draws one in. Dark magic, I tell you!

Oh, and I find Dean Priest creepy.

Hi! Pop over unannounced whenever you feel like it.

As I said in my comment to rosina_alcona above, I've never been much into Emily, but there is something strangely compelling about the books. I re-read Jane of Lantern Hill and Anne of Windy Poplars last week, too. You could say I'm a bit on a Montgomery roll at the moment, yes.

And remembering lines from books is never a sad thing. Never! (I quote Jane Austen on people all the time, so there.)

I didn't know Rynne recced me *feels very flattered*
