My friends over at Goodreads in the Dead Writers Society suggested a reading of the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery. Somehow these escaped me while growing up, so naturally I agreed to participate.
The schedule: Read one book from the series each month, starting in March with Anne of Green Gables and ending in October with book eight, Rilla of Ingleside. With a bonus in November of reading the Chronicles of Avonlea, a book loosely tied to the Anne series.
Can I keep up with Anne's sparky fun loving personality to finish the series in 2013? Follow my progress after the jump.
