Last year I read Anne of Green Gables for the first time and just adored it! After finishing the first book, I immediately added all the other Anne books to my Kindle (which were blessedly free! I love free things!) When I read that Carrie @ Reading To Know hosts an annual L.M. Montogmery reading challenge each January, I knew I wanted to join in on the fun and the timing is perfect.
Carrie writes, “Every January I like to host the Lucy Maud Montgomery Reading Challenge in order to start my reading year off right. (At least, as right as I can make my reading year!) I like easing into the year with old friends, all created and penned by LMM. I think reading Montgomery is a cozy thing to do, especially when there is still a bit of the holiday rush being felt and as things are beginning to calm down.”
From now until January 28th I am hoping to read / see:
- Book two, Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery
- And if I read very quickly, book three, Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery
I also have several Anne movies in my Netflix queue and hope to watch at least one of them this month, probably the Anne of Green Gables mini series from 1985.
Anyone looking for a list of the Anne books in chronological order as well as a list of film adaptations, Wikipedia has a list here.
Anyone else joining in on this fun challenge? What is your favorite L.M. Montgomery book?

BTW:The series is super fantastic as well. I would suggest to wait to watch Avonlea until you’ve read Anne of the Island first. Dang I may have to pick up Avonlea and read it real fast before my classes start.

I love Avonlea best (from what I remember) but good things come to those who wait in book 3. I felt like I raced through book 3 just to get to the part I wanted to get to. I refuse to indulge any more info than that. 😉

I read my first set of Anne books until they fell apart, LOL! I still love them, and the movies are really good too. For the challenge I decided to read some L.M. Montgomery titles I’ve never read, although I was tempted to go back to my old favorites!

Yay! Glad that you are “in” and are going to continue on in the series. Anne of Avonlea is just as fun and charming as the first so I’m sure you’ll love it also.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I love Anne of Greengables, especially the miniseries. I watched all three series that were made and hubby bought them for me on DVD recently. I didn’t realise all the Anne books were free on the Kindle. I might have to see if I can download them on to hubby’s IPad. Good luck with your challenge.
