Grady Hendrix sure knows how to make me mad.

Fern calling her baby Charlie Brown because he’s bald and not wanted.

God the shit they put girls through.

Gaining power over your old oppressors by giving power over to a new oppressor, well it doesn’t really seem like you’re gaining anything at all.

“This book is not for children or morons”
This witch book is giving me real edgy teen vibes 😂 it works well with the story.

I’m so close to getting to the witchy parts.

Rose is a real one.

There’s so many names I struggle to remember who they all are luckily I do think I have at least the main characters remembered at least I hope so

Dame the way none of the staff actually give a shit about these girls wellbeing’s.

This book gives me the spirit bares its teeth vibes so far.

Reading this for summer job honestly unsure if I should actually be adding this to my good reads 😂

Probably won’t get much reading done of this in the next three weeks but excited as I know Matt has said it’s a great book.

Look I’m saying I finished this version of Anne of green gables too only because on my Goodreads goal it fucked up and discounted my reading of the second book of Ann and din.

Omg here the bell tolls for chapter XXXVII I don’t know if I can do it. I feel like I’ll end up crying and I already teared up quite a bit a few chapters ago.

Toilet and lovemaking have a very different meaning nowadays.

Seeing Anne grow up is making me a little sad like theres a little more of a solemn feeling than before. I really dread getting to the chapter called the reaper whose name is death even though I’m quite far from it still.

“It’s so much more romantic to end a story up with a funeral than a wedding.”
Anne really loves drama.

OMG I didn’t realize that good reads has a book scan cover feature so I can finally have the proper cover for the edition I’m reading!!!

It’s interesting how words have evolved to mean different things over time, for instance the word ejaculated to mean blurt. It feels so wrong every time I read it….

Oh poor Gilbert Blythe how he so loves and respects Anne yet she pretends he doesn’t even exist. The many things he does to try and show that he cares for her and she just stomps on it with no care whatsoever. The fact this long lasting grudge started just because he called her carrot hair. I hope one day she can forgive him but then again it’s absolutely hilarious so I’m okay if it takes a couple of years.

In the back of the book there is a note on every single piece of memento and letter they created for this book. I am amazed by the amount of detail put into each memento and actually learnt a lot of history behind some of the items.
There were ‘flirtation’ cards that were bought and given to bend the rules of social interaction, so basically pick up lines but on cards 😂. There were some pretty cheeky ones.

Never fuck with Anne, the slightest wrongs towards her will lead to the most passionate hatred.
Good luck Gilbert Blythe you are going to fucking need it, maybe one day she’ll forgive you.

The things that come out of Anne’s mouth… this girl is definitely a little sick in the head.

Marilla is a tsundere.

Anne: I’m the most ugly girl in the whole wide world.
Mrs. Rachel: True
Anne: Now listen here bitch, I will fuck you up!

Seriously though this book has so far been a delight, I’m shocked by how often it makes me laugh. The writing is so deliciously romantic that I’ve decided that I have to start writing down my favourite lines.

Anne is the biggest ginger hater I know.

I’m so sorry I keep making so many updates but honestly I just like seeing the percentage go up and I love talking about the books I’m reading.

Mr.Cuthbert: can we keep her? 🥺
Marilla: No
Mr.Cuthbert: you’re right we shouldn’t… but like what if we did?
Marilla: No

I’ve never read a character that has such a zeal for life quite like Anne and I’ve just met her, I think I’m going to quite like her.

The edition I got of this book has hand written letters and mementos of the characters in the book. I really wish I could send a photo with this update because the map it came with is absolutely gorgeous!

““Well, we’re not getting a girl.” Said Marilla, as if poisoning wells were a purely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in case of a boy.”
Honestly I feel like poisoning wells is a purely female thing also got to look up the history of this saying “ A body can get used to anything, even to being hanged.” That’s one hell of a saying.
Honestly a very enjoyable first chapter.
