Anne of Green Gables

LOVE the story of "Anne of Green Gables" by L. M. Montgomery! I don't know exactly when I was first introduced to it, but I fell in love with it and it feels like it has always been apart of my life. (I feel like I'm a little like Anne!!) My mom was given the VHS (yes I know I'm old) a long time ago of "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea" and I probably watched them 100 times, if not more. I loved to put in one of the four tapes and just fall into the world of Anne, Matthew, Marilla, Diana and Gilbert. I would pop in a tape when I had had a bad day, when I was sick, or when I just needed to get out of the real world and be encompassed by the adventures, mishaps and "highfalutin mumbo-jumbo" of Anne.

My confession...as much as I love the story, I have NEVER actually read the stories. I have only ever seen them as a movie. Seriously, what is wrong with me?

All of this brings me to my new discovery today. I have a Kindle (which I love so much!) and I needed something to read today at lunch. Kindle offers free books all of the time. "Anne of Green Gables" was one. I started reading it. Wow, it is so well written and an amazing story! I am so looking forward to encompassing myself in the world of Anne through written word! (Probably won't get much of anything else done either!)
