Two sisters dive into the world of Anne Shirley! Join us as we go chapter by chapter through the beloved Anne of Green Gables book series written by L.M. Montgomery. We discuss the history and context of the time period, talk about our favorite quotes and scenes, and relive the magic of the various Anne screen adaptations. All kindred spirits are welcome!
Anne of Green Gables Chapter 11: Anne's Impressions of Sunday School
Marilla sews Anne some new dresses so she has decent clothes to wear to school and church, although the plain style of the dresses make Anne wish even more for puffed sleeves. Star goes on a long tangent about fabric and garment construction before finally returning to the chapter where we hear all about Anne's first day at Sunday School. What Anne says about the sermon and the preacher makes Marilla feel like this clever child can read her mind!

Anne of Green Gables Chapter 10: Anne's Apology
Anne and Rachel's first meeting was a fiery exchange of insults that left each of them feeling furious and offended, and Marilla feeling perplexed. Rachel deserved what she got (Matthew's words) and even Marilla chuckled thinking about it, but Anne must be punished. Anne refuses to apologize and welcomes a life of solitary confinement, but can Matthew soften her heart and bring about a reconciliation that will restore peace to Avonlea?

Anne of Green Gables Chapter 9: Mrs. Rachel Lynde is Properly Horrified
It's been two weeks since Marilla and Matthew decided to keep Anne at Green Gables (even though she is not a boy) and Anne has been thriving in the fresh air and in the kindness and structure of her new home. But where has our nosy and outspoken neighbor been all this time? Rachel has been confined at home with an unseasonable attack of the grippe, but as soon as she feels better she rushes right up to Green Gables to meet the "imported orphan" she is so curious about. It is a clash of tempers and we are here for it!

Anne of Green Gables Chapter 7: Anne Says Her Prayers and Chapter 8: Anne's Bringing-up is Begun
Marilla and Anne return to Green Gables together, much to Matthew's relief. Marilla intends to give Anne a proper education in religion and house-hold chores, but how on earth do you keep an imagination like Anne's grounded long enough to memorize a passage or scald a dishcloth?!

Anne of Green Gables Chapter 6: Marilla Makes Up Her Mind
Marilla and Anne have driven down the Shore Road and arrived at Mrs. Spencer's house. Marilla intends to figure out how this mix-up of Anne being an orphan girl, and not an orphan boy, has happened and if Anne can be sent back to the asylum. But can Marilla really let her go when she finds out exactly where Anne will end up?

Anne of Green Gables Chapter 5: Anne's History
Kindred spirits, lets take another buggy ride with Anne. This time, instead of chattering about her dreams and fancies to a bemused Matthew, she is reluctantly recounting her tragic childhood to an increasingly sympathetic Marilla. After such a history, will Marilla have the heart to send Anne back to the Nova Scotia orphanage?

Anne of Green Gables Chapter 1: Mrs. Rachel Lynde is Surprised
Star and Hayley are starting at the beginning of the series where we meet Rachel Lynde and Marilla Cuthbert. These are two unique, strong, and inspiring women that we will come to know and love. Rachel is a busy-body gossip and Marilla is a no-nonsense pragmatist, but in truth, we all need friends like this.
