Anne of Green Gables revisited – again
Have you seen this? I want everything on this page. I’ve written about Anne before, a few times. But – as with any extraordinary book – every time I read or listen to it something different sticks with me. As … Continue reading
Anne’s House of Dreams – L.M. Montgomery, Karen Savage
I don’t tend toward gifs in my posts or reviews or whathaveyou, but about halfway through Anne’s House of Dreams (the Librivox audio edition) I realized the best way to describe my reaction to listening to this series is this … Continue reading
