'Dear old world,' she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.'
My first book of 2016! I must confess that I picked up Anne of Green Gables as my first read this year on purpose, because I knew that I'm going to love it (again).
In my opinion, Anne is the very definition of "classic". I read it in my childhood, when I was a teenager and now as an adult and I always took out something from it. It's truly a timeless story, which can be read and enjoyed by people of all age, and I'm sure I will be coming back to it many many times.
The writing and descriptions are simply beautiful. Avonlea and Green Gables described by Lucy Maud Montgomery through Anne's eyes was a heavenly place and I enjoyed the imagery almost as much as Anne's adventures. It was the first time that I read the original text in English, so at first I had small problems with some words but in the end it wasn't that bad and I expanded my vocabulary. :) I also adore all of the characters. Anne is especially dear to me probably because I've always identified with her, but the whole cast of the characters is well written and lovable.
All in all, Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery is a warm and sweet story that I would recommend to absolutely everyone. You will laugh, you will cry and you will fall in love with Anne and Avonlea :)

Anne is such a delightful character. Reading this book cheered me up and brought back so many memories of mine as a kid. Anne is everyone’s kindred spirit! I can’t wait to read the series and know more about how Anne and how her life progresses

What a beautiful book! I read this having seen the new Netflix series and found it so charming. I love Anne's little speeches and the beautiful backdrop and Marilla's reticent love. So good and cute
