I haven’t read this in over twenty years but I loved it! It was the book that made me fall in love with this time period. I need to re-read it as well, especially since I was so excited to give this book as a Christmas present to my eight-year-old niece!

I reread these books when my niece discovered them 7 or 8 years ago. I loved them just as much too. I suspect I’ll be reading them again when great nieces are looking for a reading buddy for a much-loved series.

You know, I am ashamed to admit that I have not read any of these books, but I did do the right thing and give them to my daughter to read! I am excited to hear that they are available free for the Kindle, as that might just inspire me to pick them up. Something about this series sounds so comfortable and cozy, and I really need to experience them for myself. Thanks for sending me on the search!

I received the audiobook for Christmas and have only listened to the first couple discs, but was happy to see that I found it just as entertaining as when I was a kid too. I own the series in paperback, I just haven’t read the books in a while. The only thing that drives me nuts about the book is that the narrator pronounces Avonlea like she’s talking about the Avon Lady. It throws me every time I hear it.

So glad you still loved this! As a kid we visited L.M. Montgomery’s Green Gables house on Prince Edward Island, which was a dream come true. My mom bought me a straw boater hat that had two red yarn braids coming down the sides – so I could turn myself into Anne. That was pretty exciting I need to read the books again. Thanks for the reminder!

Aww, I love this! Anne was my “character best friend”, I read the books many times too as a kid. But I haven’t read them in over 10 years, and it’s definitely on my list for the coming year. Your post makes me eager to read them again!

I loved these books too and it’s been a while so I may have to add them to the re-read list. Glad to hear they stand up.

Can you believe I’ve never read any of these, nor has my daughter. I think we need to read them together!

I loved this series when I was younger. Last year, my daughter and I listened to it on a road trip. We both really enjoyed it.

I also was confused about what happened in which book :-).
