I have decided that it is time for a re-read of one of my favorite childhood books, Anne of Green Gables. I loved this book so much as I child I even begged my parents until they agreed to take me to Prince Edward Island one summer. This quote, from page 56 in my edition, is a great part of the book where Marilla decided to allow Anne to stay at Green Gables. If you haven’t yet read this book, you really should.
From Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery:
I’ve been thinking over the idea until I’ve got kind of used to it.
It seems a sort of duty. I’ve never brought up a child, especially a girl,
and I dare say I’ll make a terrible mess of it. But I’ll do my best.
So far as I’m concerned, Matthew, she may stay.
I'm linking up with the Friday 56, so I'll invite you to go grab a book and join the fun.
The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice.
Rules
- Grab a book, any book.
- Turn to page 56 (or 56% on ebook).
- Find any sentence that grabs you.
- Post it.
- Link it at Freda's Voice.
I’ve never read this one. Somehow I spent my childhood reading books that haven’t stood the test of time. I am spotlighting Burning Midnight by Will McIntosh this week. Look for my review tomorrow. Happy reading!
You should totally pick up Anne of Green Gables now then. I still love this book.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a great weekend!
I loved the series, too, and sadly, didn’t get to read all of them. But I have the first one on my shelves for a reread. Thanks for the reminder!
Here’s mine:
