Read Across Canada: A 2013 Challenge discussion

Anne of Green Gables

If anyone hasn't read Anne yet, it's a long-time world-wide favourite and worth the read.

I liked it too.

Confession: I have never read Anne of Green Gables. :head bowed in shame:

This could be your chance!

I haven't either Autumn. I watched the series on tv when I was a kid.

If anyone is going to read Anne of Green Gables, Budge Wilson who is from Nova Scotia wroteBefore Green Gablesthat was maybe published for the 100th anniversary a few years back. For those "Anne" fans out there, it was interesting to read about what her life could have been like before Lucy Maude Montgomery "brought" Anne to Green Gables

Robin, Before Green Gables sounds fairly interesting. It got some good reviews, too. I think I might read it for the challenge.

I should add Tide Road to this list. I think I found it on that 100 mile book map ;-)

100 Mile Book Map?

Susan, I think she's talking about this map. Somebody, I believe Gate Gypsy, posted it in the Resources for Finding books thread that Janice created.

I found two more books set in PEI!

The Betrayer and The Catch

Revenge of the Lobster Lover or the rest of The Shores Mystery series by Hilary MacLeod (a cosy mystery writer).
