I love to read many genre, and law is one of it. Although at some aspect, I can’t understand enough; but how justice at last win the court always give me positive hope and wish that not all jurisdiction is corrupted. About this book itself; although my fave one is always Grisham’s works, but Scottoline’s works worth a try.

Anne of Green Gables Series

Author : Lucy Maud Montgomery

Anne is one of my favorite series. I collect (almost) all of her stories, so I decide to talk all together here.

-. Anne of Green Gables; this is the first period when Anne came to Green Gables for the first time. As a little girl who lacks of love but very imaginative, romantic and easily get in trouble, she got love from Matthew and moral lesson from Marilla.

-. Anne of Avonlea; early years of teenage Anne. She teach at Avonlea’ school. Build a circle of friendship with Diana, Jane, Priscilla, Gilbert, and Miss Lavender and also Paul.

-. Anne of the Island; her 4 years at the college. Meeting new friends and discovering the person she want to spend her life with. During her college years, she think that she loves Roy Gardner; until she realize her love for Gilbert

-. Anne, House of Dream; after marry Gilbert, this young couple live their first years of marriage at a little cottage at Four Winds Harbour. Love and loved, they spend their first years with many experience. Good and bad, happy and sad, with circle of friends to support.

-. Anne of Ingleside, this is more focus with the experience of young souls which come to Anne and Gilbert family. I feel

The characters inside is memorable.

Anne, herself, is the one I like the most. Her lively character, her imagination and her ambition is the main core of these stories. And also I love how after her bad acts, she can admit her mistakes bravely. Remember how she sold Mr Harrison’s cow? (Anne of Avonlea) I really have a good laugh. I also love many of her good thinking, I learnt a lot from her. I get a good laugh, good idea, good memories, good cry during all of these series reading.

Gilbert, is the second character I love the most. Maybe because I have my poetic soul as Anne’said, from the beginning I really wish Gilbert will be the one for Anne. My favorite part? His proposal to Anne in Hester Gray’s garden. So lovely ❤

Diana, Anne’s bestfriend or as her said, her soulmate. She is not so imaginative like Anne, but her support and her friendship for Anne is so beautiful.

Davy Keith! With all of his questions!

Captain James. His simple and open minded. Honest. Kind hearted. I love his character.

Actually, it still have many others of favorite characters. So, I can said these books are great books to read in many times, moods, season.
