I can only say good things about the Anne of Green Gables series. I first read these when I was a young woman and strongly identifed with Anne, her struggles and her amazing ability to get herself into some fix or another.

Gifting this book as an RABCK. Wishing it a lovely new home with a reader who could grow to love Anne.

Take Care,
Kecia

I liked this one just about as much as the first. It lost a point though due to a very abrupt ending.

This one brought Anne back to a more believable character, and I think Montgomery did a fantastic job of writing about some very grown up issues for younger readers.

I picked up the next as soon as I finished it, and am sure I will have the series done very soon! I better start recruiting members for the bookring!

Anne's life takes a more serious tone, but this is once again a charming book.

Aug. 5: Sending to ladybug74 in AL.

I received this entire series today and have already started the first book. I have always been curious about these books because my younger sister, who DOES NOT read, actually read and enjoyed this series when we were younger. Thanks day-zee for sharing them with us!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I have tried a couple of times to read the first book in this series, but the whole set has some type of incense oil or fragrance on them. It smells good and I am sure there were good intentions behind putting fragrance on the books, but I get a headache every time I try to read them. I have SEVERE allergies to fragrances and get migraines from perfumes and chemicals.

I decided that I don't want to deal with the whole fragrance in the books issue right now, so I'm sending this series on to the next reader, princess-peapod. I am disappointed because I was really looking forward to reading these books. I have seen copies of some of them in thrift stores since signing up for this bookring, so maybe I will come across more copies and read them later. It did seem from the little that I was able to read (before getting a headache) that I may enjoy them. I hope the next reader doesn't have allergies and migraines like I do so the fragrance will not bother them.

Looking forward to reading this series.

Anne is a grown up now. I'll leave it at that.
