Re-reading Anne (with the #GreenGablesReadALong in mind)

2015-08-04T18:07:42-04:00

Maybe if I had heard of Reeder Reads' Green Gables Read-a-long straight off, I'd've reread more diligently but, as it was, I learned of it at the end of February; at first I just dabbled in the rereading and I only got serious about proper cover-to-cover reading at the end of
