Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my heart! This was my favorite book and movie growing up. I love Ann with E!!! I encourage anyone that has not read this to pick it up, adult or child. I highly recommend this book.

Anne of Green Gables has stood the test of time and is just as gripping and delightful to read now as it was nearly thirty years ago when I read it for the first time. Anne is such a likeable and engaging character and the setting of Prince Edward Island just makes me want to travel to Canada.

I will be recommending that my Year 6s discover some of the classic children’s literature.

This is an absolutely delightful little book, and everybody needs to read it immediately! It just made my heart so happy to reread it. Anne is one of my favorite literary characters - I love her language, her spunk, and her wild imagination. This was one of my very favorite series as a child & I thoroughly enjoyed reading this!

I’ve always wanted to read Anne of Green Gables! How can you not love those adorable freckles, red braids, and the straw hat?

Anne is tenacious, and I think every little girl can look up to her.. not matter how different or alike they are from Anne.

Her yearn for acceptance blossoms into confidence throughout the story and I’m just in love.

This book is just as charming as I remember from my chikdhood, which us sometime ago!
It is an absolute classic, from simpler times.

Some readers of my blog may recall that last summer I went to an Anne of Green Gables brunch. So, you may know that I am a big fan of this novel. This is a recently published edition of the classic and I enjoyed sitting down and reading about Anne again.

Anne is the orphan sent to Marilla and Matthew, who had requested a boy to help with their farm. Marilla is unsure about keeping Anne while Matthew has empathy for her from the start. As you read the book watch how Marilla softens over time.

The characters in this novel are wonderful. Anne is adventurous, outspoken, warm-hearted and a loyal friend. She will take a dare and work hard to be the best student in her class. She touched my heart and could touch yours too.

Anne of Green Gables is an old fashioned book, reflecting its publication date. Nonetheless, I recommend it highly as a chapter book read aloud with a child or as a book to read for yourself as an adult.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me spend time with one of my favorite fictional characters again!

Loved this book when I first read it, and love it still.

Highly recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved this book and series since I first picked it up as a kid. I have reread it many times including this year (2014). Anne Shirley is one of my favourite characters ever and I love Matthew and Marilla along with all the other characters. Whether they make a one time appearance or are reoccurring Montgomery makes them lovable and close to your heart.


I enjoyed listening to it on audio too. The movies with Megan Follows are also fabulous and are my favourite.

I adore Anne of Green gables. She is funny and precosious.. Marilla and Matthew are great for her as she is for them. A great series for young people. Funny and engaging.

I’ve heard a lot about this book and maybe that’s because a lot of people who love it, love it for the nostalgia it gives them to their childhood. For me, rather than a well loved classic it felt like a rather dated children’s story.

Although I could see the potential in this text, I was not able to sustain my attention and finish the narrative even though I loved this narrative as a child. Perhaps it was just the wrong time.

L.M Montgomery THANK YOU!!!! I LOVE ANNE OF GREEN GABLES! I had seen the movie a million and two times and was so excited to get the book it is just as good as the movie! It brings me to my happy place. Anne's flaw to her is her red hair we all can name that one thing we would change Anne's is her hair. Mine is my weight. What's yours? This book is amazing and I'm sure I'll read it again.

Anne of Green Gables, has been a favorite since childhood. I jump at the chance to read it whenever I can. Although this book is not new to me, I love it and wanted to be able to promote it. I love the descriptive writing of Ms Montgomery. I can see the lovely scenes played out I. my head as I read
Thank you netgalley for the gift of the arc, the opinions are my own

Thank you to NetGalley for the free copy of this classic. It was actually my first time reading this book! I somehow missed out on reading it in my childhood. I'm glad I still read it as an adult though, because I'm sure I appreciate it now for different reasons. The character of Anne is inspiring, and she grows and changes so much throughout the book. My other favorite thing was the setting, especially through Anne's enthusiastic eyes. Green Gables and Prince Edward Island sound beautiful. It was just a heartwarming and cozy read overall. I think Anne is great role model for young girls. Even though a few aspects of the book did feel dated, it has a timeless quality that will keep people reading it for many years to come!

I had somehow skipped over Anne of Green Gables as a child. While I am familiar enough with the story through its influence and sheer popularity in juvenile literature, I found myself excited to read Anne of Green Gables. It holds up. The cover is adorable and will hopefully draw in a new generation of kids who might pass over an old-fashioned cover design. I'm curious to see if the publisher updates the rest of the Anne novels but this is a good (and fresh!) start.

I have seen the movie several times and even saw the musical when I was in Charlottetown about 20 years ago (which was when I bought my original books) but I will never tire of Anne with an "e". Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote with such lovely language that you could picture everything that was happening. I even cried when Matthew died, although I knew it was coming. If you are not familiar with this series, Anne Shirley is an orphan who accidentally ends up in Avonlea to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert (siblings) when they asked to adopt an orphan boy to help on the farm. Once she arrived, there was not turning back. She had an imagination that would not quit. She was such a loving and caring person that others flocked to her. She also set goals in her education that she worked hard on. She made many, many mistakes along the way, but learned from each one. There is humour, warmth, love and sadness in this story, but everyone will find something to like about it. This story is a classic that would be wonderful for middle grades (gr. 4 and up), especially girls. This edition has an updated cover that should appeal to that age group. If this updating brings the story to a new generation, then I say bravo.

It doesn't matter what version of this story that this is, between Alice in Wonderland and Anne of Green Gables those two I totally love more then anything. And I will never stop reading them... Love the story, art is cute!

Lovely book I read to my daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed it so much so she’s asked me to purchase a copy for her

She's an orphan and she's a girl. She's sad to have no home but isn't worried about being a girl until she finds out the folks who were going to take her into their home wanted a boy...

Sweet Cherry Publishing and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It has been published and you can grab a copy now.

This is a classic story from the past that I read long ago and liked. I didn't remember much about it so I decided to read it again and see how it stood up after so many years. It's still a very good read no matter what age you are!

While she's not a boy, the man bringing her home is fascinated by her chatter. She names things magical things, tells him about herself and asks questions here and there. He enjoys it so he asks his sister to let her stay. She says she has to go back. She takes her to the lady who chose her for them and asks why they didn't get a boy. That wasn't the message she got from the message carrier, but she says she can place her. There's a woman with lots of children who is looking for a caretaker for her children. She's not a nice woman. She agrees she would take her and gives Anne a big list of does and don't right there in the living room. Marilla takes Anne home with her. Matthew will be happy and they'll adjust. It's good that she feels that way because there is a lot of adjustment to do...

Anne makes friends with the neighbor girl. She goes to school. She learns to cook. And she gets in trouble a lot. She has a fantasy world she escapes into and it often happens right at the wrong time.

Parts of this book will make you laugh and part will make you cry but Anne perseveres and it's a pleasure to watch her growing up. She bring life and love into a cheerless home that brightens up with her as an addition.

This was still a very good read even if it is an old classic. It's a great book for middle graders.

Book Feature: Reading Now


Have you ever read Anne of Green Gables? I bet if you're Canadian you probably have. Maybe if you're American, too...? I bet you've also seen the television adaptations.

As for me? I have just received a review copy of the book, so I'm meeting Anne for the first time.

Australian children have their own books they grow up with. We have some fantastic children's' authors here. And so L. M. Montgomery's classic never made it onto a school reading list where I live.

Now it's time to fix a gap in my "read" list on Goodreads!
