Another year, I have no idea how many times I've read Anne of Green Gables but it was every bit as enjoyable as all of the times previous.

I read this book years ago and decided to pick it up again since it had been so long. Of course, I watched the original PBS series many years ago. I even got 10 minutes into the new version on Netflix. However, it wasn't the same as the original. I couldn’t get into it. I read the book with the PBS vision of Anne and Marilla Cuthbert in my mind’s eye.

I had trouble finishing this book since I already knew what happened. Normally, this is a good thing. I thought reading this story again would be fun, easy, and not stressful. The miss adventures of Anne’s imagination are always fun. It is, however, a bit stressful how much she hates that boy who challenges her so much, especially when we all know the ending.
