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.

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.
