I should probably have started with the first book in this series. However, I'm familiar with the story.

Anne is now 16 and about to take up a post as school teacher at the school where she was a former pupil. Life continues at Green Gables and somehow the comings and goings and small details of everyday country life make for easy if not especially interesting reading. Anne's character and ability to drift into a dream-world at the flick of a switch continue to amuse. As does Marilla's dry humour.

This series reminds of a simpler time where endings are always happy and life content. It is good for a bit of escapism but I prefer something a little more dramatic. The first book in the series is definitely the best.

Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How can you not love any books written by L. M. Montgomery. I absolutely love all the series of books of Anne. Anne of Avonlea as an audiobook I listened to, the narrator was fantastic and made the story line even better. I remember reading the Anne series when I was very young. As an adult the Anne series is even more enjoyable.

It's almost worse now that Anne and Gilbert are actually friends. *rubs fist over heart*

BUT.

I will persevere!

Such a wonderful reading day, thanks to Anne! I loved the new characters and the fact that we see Anne teaching, as I'm a teacher myself. As in the previous book, there were plenty of amazing quotes and cute moments. It's great to know that there are many other books in the series!

4.5 stars rounded up

Why I chose to listen to this audiobook:
1. I'm refreshing my memory after reading this book so many years ago; and,
2. July 2023 is my self-appointed "O'Canada Month"!

Praises:
1. I enjoyed how Anne moved from girlhood in Anne of Green Gables to young womanhood within her community. From teaching at the local school, volunteering through Avonlea's Improvement Society, to relating with a variety of interesting characters that we readers meet for the first time, Anne continued to delight me with her vivid descriptions of her natural surroundings, her enthusiasm making new friends, and her "scandalous" dilemmas she seems to frequently get entangled in (For readers of this series: Did you ever notice that some of the scrapes Anne gets herself into were only because Marilla put something in the pantry that didn't belong there?)

I loved the book Anne of Green Gables so much. I enjoyed this book, but it did not have the same impact on me that the first one did. There was much about this book that I loved, but I did miss Anne as a child. She is becoming an adult, a better adult than most.

I did love the hilarious things the children said. I mean they were things I could hear any child saying. Davey was a little crazy. That kid has some sociopathic tendencies. Still, he was so funny. He enjoyed causing some excitement around that place. It was pretty amazing. Davey's poor sister though was so boring even the adults thought she was boring.

Paul was another good student. I liked him. He was very Anne-like. The children were the highlight of the book. Lucy Montgomery really know how to write children. It is her gift.

Anne is a teacher at like 16 going on 17. She teaches for one year before she is going on to college. This is the year that the book covers. She is a young teacher. She also doesn't want to squash the imagination and hopes of children. She wants to befriend them instead of corporeal punishment. That is funny too as everyone keeps telling her to beat the children.

I thought the book was a little long in places and the story dragged a little. I am also used to a faster pace thanks to modern literature. It's nice to slow down the pace of story and read something different. Still, the language does cast a spell and Prince Edward Island seems magical.

I look forward to reading the next one. This is a wonderful series.

Cudowna. Świetnie się czyta i z każdą kolejną stroną widać jak Ania dorasta. Bardzie się cieszę z tego jak potoczyły się niektóre wątki.

I just realized I never really did anything with this book, but I decided to dnf it. I listened to about half and realized I had fallen out of love with Anne Shirley. She was such a beautiful creative unique child, but as a grown up she’s lost a lot of her charm and i just wasn’t digging what I had listened to.

I will sadly be dnfing the series but the first book will always be dear to me.
