"M" is for Montgomery

Ahoy!

So I have been skipping a bit in the alphabet. Lately, because I got an AWESOME kindle and while I was at a conference a few weeks ago I was just reading whatever I could download for free on my Kindle. This brought me back to the "Anne of Green Gables" series, which I very much enjoyed as a pre-teen. This series is my "M" letter, yay for Lucy Maud Montgomery.

I enjoyed Anne of Green Gables a lot, even as an adult. I just find Anne and Marilla's interactions hilarious! Anne says the most ridiculous things. I enjoy her drama and zest for life. I also love how sweet Matthew and Marilla are - even though neither of them wants to admit it until the end, they love Anne to pieces. In overview, for those who haven't read it, this series takes place on/around Prince Edward Island, Canada and is about an orphan, Anne, who is adopted around age 12 by an older brother and sister who run a farm. This series, at least the first book, I haven't started the second yet except for a few pages, isn't really about plot and more about the development of the characters. In that way its a really neat book, the characters are very well developed and you get to know them really well - there are times where I felt like I could predict how Marilla was going to react to Anne's silliness. This book, I imagine, sets the foundation for the rest of the series, because you really get to know the characters and see how they develop through this period in their lives. Its fun to read and fills me with warm fuzzies.
