Anne of Green Gables – L.M. Montgomery / Karen Savage
Here is a comfort book which, for once, I actually have read fairly recently. I believe I read it within the past twelvemonth – but not via the Librivox recording by, yes, Karen Savage. (I’m a fan. Sue me. I … Continue reading

The year to date (part one): L.M. Montgomery
If I’ve been keeping track properly – and there’s no guarantee of that – I just finished my fiftieth book of the year. I find this number a little disappointing, as I remember one school year when I was able … Continue reading
