Reading

Oh how I love to read. From the back of cereal boxes to the operating manual of a cell phone. I love to read. This summer finds me reading one of the best series I've ever read. And no it is not Stephanie Myer's vampire series (though I love them too and will read the fourth book in August when it comes out). Summer quarter is over and now I can indulge in reading me some novellas! A friend once told me that I reminded her of Anne (that is spelled with an "e") Shirley. I had no idea who she was talking about and my friend about fell off her chair as she new I was an avid reader. She said you are passionate and get excited in a hurry just like Anne. I thought she was talking about character from a movie but I was wrong. It is the beloved character of L.M. Montgomery. Anne of Green Gables. Let's face it folks I'm obsessed. As I was pondering what to read the moment I finished summer school I remembered Anne of Green Gables! So I promptly went and bought the first three in the series. I also remembered a friend telling me she was reading it because we are going to Prince Edward Island for vacation as it happens in a little over a month! I'm going to where it all takes place! OMGosh. L.M Montgomery who published the first one in 1908 (!) has this eclectic way of writing. Eclectic may not be the right word but if you haven't read it, it is across between Pippi Longstocking, Annie, and Pollyanna. She writes and I feel it in my bones. I'm laughing out loud and am mesmerized by her descriptions and character. I love Anne with an "e" Now only three more pages left. I've certainly cried a few times and I rarely cry in books. I'm grateful I was sick this weekend and into the week as that is all I did! PLEASE READ ANNE-GIRL!
