“There‘s such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I‘m such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn‘t be half so interesting.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In elementary school, this was the book that I checked out from the library again & again. And yet I could not remember any of it! So I decided to reread & I can definitely see why I was so enamored with Anne & her fascinating imagination. Her outlook on the world & pure optimism (even when in the depths of despair) are uplifting, & her flair for the dramatic is charming. Little eight year old me would have dreamed of being her kindred spirit
“Isn‘t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet.” If there is one fictional character that I relate with and love above all others, it would most definitely be Anne. This is easily one of my favorite books and its lessons have a very special place in my heart. That life, no matter how hard it may be, is as beautiful as you choose to see it as and that the people you love are the truest richest of life. #52challenge
Thought this was interesting - apparently it‘s read like a radio play with sound effects and a great cast! See the article here https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7043654
This is my third time reading this and I love it more for every read. The last time so read it, I decided that I needed my own copy and this is it.
What I love is Anne‘s positivity despite everything and how she loves all the seasons and month. I also love Anne and Matthew‘s relationship.
‘I‘m so sorry for people who live in lands where there are no Mayflowers,‘ said Anne. ‘Diana says perhaps they have something better, but there couldn‘t be anything better than Mayflowers, could there, Marilla? And Diana says if they don‘t know what they are like they don‘t miss them. But I think that is the saddest thing of all. I think it would be tragic, Marilla, not to know what Mayflowers are and like not to miss them.
And I‘m so happy about a heroine that seem to enjoy all the seasons and all the months.
Gilbert Blythe was trying to make Anne Shirley look at him and failing utterly, because Anne was at that moment totally oblivious, not only of the very existence of Gilbert Blythe, but of every other scholar in Avonlea school
[…]
Gilbert Blythe wasn‘t used to putting himself out to make a girl look at him and meeting with failure. She should look at him

Gilbert reached across the aisle, picked up the end of Anne‘s long red braid,
This was one first line, as far as I can tell it is the entire first paragraph.

“I‘m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
A favorite quote and its matching candle for the day 16 prompt: “October.”

Thank you for the tag @julieclair !
For this #TLT I thought of a few of my favorite literary representations in the cinema:
1. Megan Follows as Anne
2. William Powell/Myrna Loy as Mr. & Mrs. Charles (again, must be on this list!)
3. Alicia Silverstone as Cher (Emma)
Bonuses - Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Malcom 😍 & Mos Def as Ford Prefect 👍

Revisited Green Gables for the first time in probably 25 years, alternating between audiobook and this gorgeous version (a Christmas gift from 1992).
It was as charming as I remembered, complete with the intense pangs of second-hand embarrassment and the ongoing (fond) exasperation at Anne‘s obliviousness to Gilbert‘s adoration.
Followed it up with the classic 1985 TV film/miniseries— one of the best adaptations ever. 🧡💛💚
My grandmother went on a train trip to Canada when I was a preteen. She brought home my first copy of Anne of Green Gables that I completely wore out. Now I love picking up random copies in thrift stores to add to my collection.

“Marilla, isn‘t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
This was a re-read for book club and I loved it just as much as I have all the other times I‘ve read it ❤️
Oof, that description of Anne‘s previous life hits harder the older I get.

I'm heading to PEI this summer for a family vacation, so I thought it was high time for a reread of an old favourite. Did not disappoint.
Rereading this slowly this month has done wonders to make me happy. I‘ve been thinking about making an effort to devote more of my reading time to reading old favorites, so as a start I‘ll indulge my desire to continue on with this series.
💚💚💚
@StayCurious Thank you for being my #LitsyLoveBookBuddy this year! Reading this with you made it so much more special.

Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies‘ ears, and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in it‘s earlier course through these woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde‘s hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream,
Winnie and I are watching these and falling asleep! See you in the morning Litsy!!!

While searching for a book in my home library to complete the #booked2022 prompt for #setinacanadianprovince, I was giving up hope,until I realized that this book would work! The story of Anne warmed my heart and soothed my soul. I read this as a young girl after my mother gave it to me for Christmas. Reading it again,I realized that she must have chosen it, not only for the wonderful story, but also because of the character, DIana. #kindredspirit

2022 edit - What is there really to add? It's a book that retains its magic read after read. 5 stars
>>>
Brother and sister, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, decide to adopt a boy to help on the farm. The message gets muddled and they end up with a daydreaming, intelligent red-headed whirlwind named Anne. 5🌟
I also love the TV adaptation with Megan Follows as Anne - I may even admit to a girlhood crush on Gilbert Blythe.
For this reread, I listened to an audio version. The CBC mini-series from the mid-80s with Megan Follows is one of my all-time favourite movies. Because of that, I was unable to picture anything else but the characters in that movie. But that‘s ok by me. The book had a few additional happenings that they didn‘t put in the movie and the movie expanded on some of the happenings in the book. I don‘t know how anyone could not help but love Anne.
I just reread Anne of Green Gables for the first time as an adult it really holds up to my loving memory of one of my absolute childhood favorites. It was so fun to revisit the world of puffed sleeves and raspberry cordial and felt like I was spending time with old friends.
Oh how I'll miss this book! 💔 My heart already aches! Infinity out of 5 stars. This book is so heartwarming, lovely, wholesome, and just a complete joy. What a blessing that there is a whole series:)
"I'm glad you made my new dresses longer. That dark-green one is so pretty and it was sweet of you to put on the flounce. Of course I know it wasn't really necessary, but flounces are so stylish this fall and Josie Pye has flounces on all her dresses. I know I'll be able to study better because of mine. I shall have such a comfortable feeling deep down in my mind about that flounce." - Anne
"It is ever so much easier to be good if your clothes are fashionable. At least, it is easier for me." -Anne
? I love her.
I found this fascinating—an article on why Anne of Green Gables was banned in Soviet-controlled Poland: https://www.transpositions.co.uk/banning-anne-why-the-soviets-were-afraid-of-ann...
I love the idea that Anne inspired hope and resistance against an authoritarian regime. 👩🏻🦰💚 A couple of quotes in the comments! ⤵️ #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
Just so pure, delightful, and timeless♡
Picked this one up as part of my monthly rotation study! Something to warm the heart.

Do I already own a second hand paperback copy of this book? Yes. Have I ever read it? No. But I LOVED Anne with an E and I have been jonesing for this lovely copy at my favorite coffee shop. I caved.
