Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Part of my family is from northern Maine and rural Nova Scotia. We would take trips to Prince Edward Island before the bridge was built so you went by ferry. My older female relatives seemed the living embodiment of who Anne would have become later in life. The cadence of her…

The book Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery immediately comes to mind. This fictional story of the struggles, adventures, and joy of an orphaned girl who finds a forever home has been a classic children’s novel for over a century.

The books I recommend the most are also my all-time favorite books, and they are: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. All for very different reasons. I’ve reread them multiple times. Growing up, I also loved Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud…

I usually only read one book at a time, but at the current moment, I’m reading a few: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, an advanced copy of a friend’s novel that comes out this fall, and Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. I’m about to start my friend Emily Carpenter’s third novel Every Single Secret.

I read Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery countless times. She is an icon for any bookish imaginative girl – or anyone who feels like they don’t fit in.

My own children are at that age of discovering great books for themselves. I try to put good books in front of them, ones that I loved at their age like Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery but to be honest, I just love to see kids read. I tend towards the belief that the key is get them to love to read – they…

I have so many answers for this question! I was child who read a lot. When I was 7 years old, I had read all of the books which we had at home. By 10 years old, I had read everything from the library on my street. If I had to pick which books were most important from my childhood, I would say it would be The Original…

Mum was very keen on Anne of Green Gables and Pollyanna. I never read the books but I did watch the TV series that was made in the ’70s and listed to Pollyanna on an LP record that she used to play.
