I mean, these books are deeply rooted in my later childhood years. They are some of my favorite books of all time and are a warm hug till this day

Words fail in describing these books. I read nearly every book L.M. Montgomery wrote when in high school, starting with the Anne series. She is my kindred spirit. =)

The first 2 books were great. After that they gradually got more boring with rainbow valley being the most boring for me but it ended with Rilla of Ingleside being just as great as the first 2 books.

How can you not fall in love with Anne, with an E, and her red hair. Anne was such a character, with an imagination that ran wild. I really related to her then and even now. I had/have too many imaginary friends, I had/have too many preconceived notions about life, and I have a quick temper and don’t hold my tongue. The author really wrote the books so beautifully, and (spoiler) every time I read about Matthew’s death, I cry my eyes out.

Ahhh, I remember this series from when I was younger! I only remember the stories from books 1-3 though :(

i first read this as a children's book- in chinese, big pictures, not too much text.

Eventually I read it in English and was excited to read the "real" book that story was based on. Eventually I read the entire series and loved every one of them. And as I've aged I've seen them and appreciated them in a different light.

I love them even more now that I've been to Prince Edward Island and can picture the different settings.

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books of all time. Might even be #1. Definitely recommend to all girls (whether 12 or just young at heart!) who have a big imagination and love a good story. In fact, read the whole series!

I love all the 'Anne' books, although Rilla of Ingleside is my least favorite. Anne has such a personality and stays true to form throughout all her adventures.
