I never could get into the Anne books. I liked the movies so much I figured they're good enough.
I did watch the movie before reading them as a kid.
I just reviewed Holes In The Ground. I enjoyed The Final Winter and Origin and love these two authors working together and bringing characters from their books together. Sounds like a wonderful Easter Sunday for you. Enjoy!
I will definitely read your review. :) I had no idea this tied two different series together! I will have to read The Final Winter as well.
Happy Easter, and I hope you enjoy your reads! Weather has been rotten here lately too, but today was probably the first nice weekend we've had since the start of spring. On the first day of spring, we actually had a snow storm, lol!
Space Opera really looks good. All of the books do. Have a great week!
I love the cover for Witch Hunter. I have to check that one out! Great books!
Me, too. I'm hoping it turns out great!
Happy Easter! Hope you have a good day at the beach. I'm ready for some beach weather here too, but I guess we have to wait a little longer since it's still pretty cold. Ugh spring is late lol.
Space Opera looks like a trip!
Thanks! It was wonderful being out in the sun.
I'm sorry you're bored with Anne. Thanks for trying to read it.
I appreciate you hosting the readalong!! I'm sorry I was the pooper of the party.
I am excited to read Space Opera and Witch Hunter - quite a few of us grabbed that one. So glad I could share Holes in the Ground!
Ooh, Space Opera :) I really wanted that one!
:) I'm going to give it go really soon.
Sorry to be such a downer about it. It could just be me!
Space Opera looks amazing! Have a good week! Check out my week here.
I've never read the Anne books and probably shouldn't start now. I have a feeling I'd feel the same as you. I read Little House on the Prairie a few years and it did not thrill me. I probably would've adored it as a teen though.
Good that you enjoyed the beach too on Easter Sunday. Such a blessing to have it nearby. Sorry that Anne didn't work for you in the adult reading of it. I did reread it by listening and enjoyed it that way.
We are lucky that we both get to do that. I should have started out listening to the audio of Anne. That might have helped propel me further. I tried making the switch, but it was too late for me.
Happy Easter :-) Roller blades, fun! What do you mean by he made the switch though? Like from roller skates? Cuz I used to go to roller rinks sometimes, and once I decided to try renting skates instead of blades, and I ate it before I even made it like three feet from the bench, haha. Space Opera sounds like a lot of fun, looking frward to your thoughts on it!
Yes! From roller skates. :) He has definitely converted over to blades. I'm the opposite of you guys - I would much rather be on skates!
I'm wondering if having read her just after seeing the movie helped when I was young.
I love Anne of Green Gables, but it is definitely in the bathroom book pile for me. You know, the sort you can set down after reading a couple of chapters and then come back to a week (or more) later and just pick it right back up.
I hope you get a chance to read Space Opera. :) I'm looking forward to checking it out.
Awww, I love Anne, but I understand if you can't get into it. You gave it a fair chance. Space Opera looked interesting to me, it is probably my speed as far as Sci-fi goes.
Space Opera looks so unique. I'm excited about reading it.
Oo I love witchy books. I am looking forward to your thoughts on Witch Hunter.
I thought of you, Erin, when I was posting that! :) You posted a witch book recently that made it on to my wishlist. Bird Box is set in Detroit, I believe. That book had me TENSE. I loved it.
I still like the Anne books as occasional rereads, but I can see how they aren't everyone's cup of tea. If you like the people who are doing the reread so are invested in it you might try audio -- a good voice might help it seem more interesting. I like audio for rereads because if my attention wanders I don't need to back up.
I think they all just finished up reading it. I was a total loser. :( I did get the audio recently during a promotion so maybe someday I'll come back around to it.
It didn't matter how much I said I loved horror, my mum's cousin ALWAYS bough me classics like Anne of Green Gables! So frustrating and I never read any of her gifts!
Sometimes revisiting childhood books just doesn't work does it.
I like the look of the Witch Hunter book. Look forward to your thoughts on that one.
