Heaven: January Book Group - Anne of Green Gables
January 2020's Book Group choice is Anne of Green Gables. This 1908 novel is one of my favourites, and from what people have already said, I think it's a favourite of lots of people on here too.
If you think it's not for you this article might change your mind. It does contain at least one spoiler for the rest of the series though.
I'll post some questions on the 20th.

Although it is not for purists, we've found a recent Netflix series, Anne with an E, to be a very powerful reminder of the much loved characters in the original books. In particular, Amybeth McNulty's performance as Anne is remarkable and has won her awards. Although the series is more a reimagining, with some storylines not in the books, it has sent us back to re-read the original.
Time and RL permitting, I will be joining you!
I don't think I'm going to get a chance to re-read at the moment but looking forward to reading other people's impressions.
Is that this edition, Ruth? This is the one I had as a child, probably bought in 1974 before our first family trip to PEI.
I clearly need to seek them out.
@Robert Armin the last two books are, IIRC Anne of Ingleside And Rilla of Ingleside.
That was Lamb Chopped. My favourites when I was young were Anne of the Island and Anne's House of Dreams, about when she goes to college and the first year of her marriage, because I thought they were so romantic. I don't know if I'd think the same way now, but I'm thinking of rereading them all to find out!
An accurate autocorrect! Praise the Lord!
Thank you for putting me right. @Lamb Chopped, which two books did you reckon were best? I'm nearly at the end of book 4 now, and want to know if I should keep going.
