I continue to make my way through the Anne of Green Gables books 💚

This one was new to me.

This book comes up as book 4 in my Kindle collection, but I'm seeing that, according to Anne's age, Anne of Windy Poplars should have been next (??)

Either way, this was delightful, and I am sure to enjoy all of the books no matter which order I read them in.

BarbaraJean Anne of Windy Poplars was written later, so that‘s likely why this one is listed as # 4! Also I‘m not sure if Windy Poplars is in the public domain yet—the Kindle collection of Anne that I have leaves out both Windy Poplars and Anne of Ingleside, because they weren‘t yet public domain when the collection was published. 1w
jdiehr @BarbaraJean Interesting...I'll have to check the titles in my collection. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 1w
BarbaraJean You‘re welcome! I‘d always assumed Montgomery wrote them chronologically—didn‘t realize she wrote Windy Poplars and Ingleside later until I got that Kindle collection and wondered why they weren‘t included! 1w

We‘re headed back to Orilium and Veta Mae has some big decisions to make.

She‘s thinking of changing her Calling and hoping to make a new friend or 2.

Just a #prettycover appreciation post before I dive into this re-read. The end papers even match the floral design of the letters:)

“Our library isn‘t very expensive. But every book in it is a friend.” I absolutely loved seeing Anne become a wife and mother in this book. The first half of this book made my heart sore and sometimes cry. I will admit, about half way through the story I feel like Anne became an observer as apposed to the main character. It‘s still a great book though and I dearly love relate to a the newly wed wife and the dreams of her home.

“Gilbert darling, don‘t let‘s ever be afraid of things. Let‘s be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let‘s dance to meet life and all it can bring us.” The beloved story continues as Anne returns home and takes her place in the community she grew up in. I enjoyed revisiting old friends in seeing Anne continue to grow into a bold, confident but yet caring woman. #challenge52

I adore this one because it reminds me of the first book with its intense emotions. This is the adult version of little Anne‘s melodrama. This book has the most idyllic romances, the strongest friendships, and the most joy, the most tragedy, desperation and sadness, the eeriest scenes… but after that roller coaster this chapter ends sweetly.

The Grace of Wild Things | Heather Fawcett

This wasn't bad. It didn't feel much like a retelling of Anne of Green Gables though, and the similarities felt more like a distraction than an integral part of the plot. I liked Grace and Sareena. I think I would like to try another of Fawcett's books, one that isn't a retelling.

BarbaraJean I felt much the same. I liked that it didn‘t feel a lot like an AoGG retelling, just with a similar character and some parallels. But there were several moments that felt forced into an Anne mold that they didn‘t really fit! (edited) 6mo
