Oh girls, I have some bad news... :( I will no longer be able to be in this book club. :( I am just barely getting by with school, dance, 4H, animal shelter, goats, ect. I am sooo very sorry! Is there anyone that would be willing to take over the book club? This was my last resort and I didn't want to back out but I am faced with no choice. School must come first. Anyway, let me know. Again I am soo sorry for letting you all down. :(
Kristina, I got your questions! They are awesome! Thank you!
Hugs,
Hannah

P.s. I've been playing around with the spelling of my name ( weird I know) and I've decided that I will stick with Hannah for good. Sorry I got you all confused. Hugs!! |

I am just seeing this now, a little late, but please count me in! Did we officially get started on the first one? If so, not to worry, I'll catch up. Looking forward to sharing the journey through the books.

Finished the first book and onto the second.
Rachel Lynde, at first, reminds me of the "town's snoop" ha ha!

I'm new to this thread, but if it wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes I'd be willing to take this group on for leading the discussion. I reread the whole series of Anne every year (usually in the spring, somehow they go together) and I'm pretty familiar with them. Would anyone be opposed?

I'm in! Where I'll find time, I don't know. I "loaned" the series to someone who never returned it. Thanks for the online tip - I'll check it out. It will give me an excuse to purchase them too! Oh - another favorite of mine is the Emily series by L.M.Montgomery. There are only 3 and they are just as good as Anne. I'll be looking for details!

Should I start a new thread for the actualy discussion part...or maybe start a whole new thread and direct peeople to go to that one from this one? I guess I can just put up big bold posts on this thread for each discussion so people can know where we are. I'm just concerned that I can't edit anything in this post, not being the original author of it. Let me know your thoughts. Also, do we want to start over with book one, since there wasn't a ton of discussion the first time around? I guess I'm wanting some input as to how to move forward. Thanks!

Oooooh, I love this series so much!! I actually saw my old books from when I was a girl sitting on my shelf yesterday and thought about how much fun it would be to reread them. I may be too late for the discussions, but I'll be reading them again for sure.

My initial idea would be to discuss book one this month while we read book two. If this sounds good to everyone, that's what we'll do. That way people who are just joining us can still jump in anytime, and we can get going on this month's book. Still wondering if I should start a new thread, but for now, I'll go with this one.
