The Great American Read: Day 5 Anne of Green Gables
There is no question in my mind that I love this book! Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery is a book full of hope, imagination, and if a book can be a bosom friend this one would be it.
I watched the 1985 Anne of Green Gables movie hundreds of times, but I wouldn't really recommend Netflix "Anne with an E" as it is really dark and I don't know what in the world the producers were thinking with the story. I have only read the book within the past 5 years. I still haven't read the rest of the series, but this book just gives me all the feels. For a refresher I read the chapter where Rachel Lynde says, "Her hair is as red as carrots!" Oh! Anne! Let me give you a hug! You are so beautiful! Red hair is amazing! I will be your bosom friend! These are the things I want to shout when I read this.
If you haven't read this book- read this book! It is gentle. It is not in your face. It is a simple time. You will love Anne and want to be her friend too. #VOTEGables The Great American Read
The copy of the book I have is actually a copy I took from cleaning out my father-in-law's house so it might actually belong to my sisters-in-law (sh! don't tell them!). It came in a complete box set so I will get to read the rest of the books some day. I actually remember reading Anne of the Island for a book report when I was young but I felt like it was too old fashioned for me at the time even though I still loved the movies. Now I can't wait to revisit these books.
