Everyones Favorite Red Head!(No, not Pippy Longstocking or Wendy! Anne with a E, silly!)

I think when I was kid I tried to watch "The Road to Avonlea" on Disney and couldn't get into it for some reason. I thought it was boring or something, and for some reason I think I confused it with Anne of Green Gables. Thus I never wanted to watch Anne of Green Gables, because it was boring. Oh boy, was I wrong!
In the Fall we had a girls movie night at Beth's and Rachel brought over the Anne of Green Gable collection. Most of us stayed and watched it til 4AM(we didn't watch the 3rd cause apparently it doesn't follow the books at all).

Anyways...I loved it! I just had to read the books! So, when sold some old books I didn't read anymore to Powells(I <3 Powells!) I bought a used copy og Anne of Green Gables and read it!

It was published in 1908 and written by Lucy Maud Mongomery. Who is said to have writen little girls to be a little like herself when she was a child(wonder if she broke any slates over anyones head though?).

I starts out, unlike the movie, in Avonlea when Matthew Cuthburt(a fairly old batchlor) goes to pick up the orphan boy him and his (old maid) sister Marilla decided to adopt to help out around the farm. When Matthew gets there however, there is no boy, only an 11 year old girl with red hair and big eyes full of dreams. When Matthew finds out there was a mix up, he doesn't have the heart to turn her away so takes her back to Green Gables, and tells Marilla about it. He has decided he wants to keep her by then, but Marilla and her no nonsense attitude is not so sure.

By about chapter 2 or 4 you hear Anne's(that Anne with an E) story of what happened before Green Gables, and Marilla couldn't give her to some women who only wants her to watch her 2 or 3 sets of twins.

There is the classic seen where Rachel Lynde meets Anne and Mrs. Lynde so rudely calls her ugly and homely. Anne explodes and says some not so nice things about her.

Anne meets her bossom friend Dianna Berry, and finds other kindered spirits along the way.  She always seems to get into mishaps or some kind of adventure. The mishap at school where Gilbert has the nerve to call her carots! She would never speak to Gilbert again!!! The whole Lady of the lake reinactment, and etc...

You watch Anne grow quite a bit in this one, and learn a lot of things along the way. And she always has such a big imagination! I think you might enjoy the adventure you find on Prince Edward Island in Avonlea. It's one classic I'd recomend. Besides I won't tell you anymore, because you have to read it for yourself. And I'm already to book 6!

Books!

If you could any place, where would you go? If you could be anyone, who would you be? If you could be apart of any event, what event would it be? If you could go to any time when would it be?

What if you go anywhere from your hometown to the moon? What if you could live life through anyones eyes, anyone from your friend/family member to someone who never existed, but could have? If you could be there when the Earth and then Adam and were created? Or be in the Civil War? If you could be now, or in the beginning, or maybe even the end?

Where can you do all this my friends? Books of course! Duh! Well, not unless you are super smart and made or somehow aquired a holodeck. Which you can totally probably have access to in a book. LOL!

Anyways...I heart books! So I'd thought maybe I might write a blog about all the kind of adventures I take in my recent ones! Where else can I have it all within my grasp, while still mantain some kind of real life?
