Anne of Green Gables

I know some of you out there will admit along with me that Anne and Gilbert were your first ship.  Just in case some of you didn't know, the 100th Anniversary of the printing of Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery is this year.  Amazon.com has a 100th Anniversary edition out right now in hardcover, if anyone is interested.  

I confess that I read the cover right off my original copy.  I know some of you did the same - anyone care to reminisce about Gilbert Blythe?

I haven't read everything by Montgomery but I think I'm going to now. This has totally inspired me. I've read the Pat series, and the Emily books and of the two, Emily was my favorite. I read the Emily series as a young teen, but didn't read the Pat books until I was an adult. I've seen the A Tangled Web online, as well as The Blue Castle and I think I'm going to have to read both.

And I'm adding the Wimsey books to my list. Don't worry - I always start with the first book in a series. I can never start in the middle. And I'll just have Harriet to look forward to!
