text: In Anne of Green Gables (1908), the reader is introduced to Avonlea. We meet Anne, Marilla, Matthew, Rachel, Diana, Gilbert, and those awful Pyes as well. The characters, the settings, the rich-and-detailed text...everything about this book is perfect.

  Yes, yes, yes!! I agree with you about the fab Megan Follows/Colleen Dewhurst version, but I was originally introduced to Anne by a fine BBC production in the 1970s. Sadly, it's not available anymore, and it's not as good as the PBS one.
  I love that Anne is so wonderfully spacy and imperfect, and has such a nose for mischief and trouble. And, of course, her imagination is just lovely. She was definitely my role model and, yes, I did feel like a kindred spirit. For one thing, I drove the Marillas in my life nuts (Mrs. D. in my book was definitely inspired by one of them, an old teacher of mine...)
  I loved the movies! I can't remember if I read the books first or saw the movies first, but I loved them both. I don't know if I've read everything by L.M. Montgomery, but I must have read everything in my city library when I was younger. I can't recall it all now, but I remember being very fond of her writing.
  I totally agree. I love everything I've read by Montgomery. There are still some out there I haven't read yet (a few Emilys and Janes and The Blue Castle, Among the Shadows,another Story Girl book etc.) It's wonderful that she not only wrote beautifully but was so productive.
  I don't remember the movies - I saw a televised series - the one from the cover of one of the book editions - that I loved almost as much as the books!
  If you haven't read Before Green Gables yet you should get hold of a copy - it's a very well written book and I'm enjoying finding out more about the young Anne
  I read the Emily books first. Then all the Anne books. I didn't see the movies until I was an adult but thought Megan Follows and Emily Dewhurst were perfect. Oh, and Matthew--I loved Matthew in the movies.
  Ah, and what is my current favourite thing to listen to? Anne of Green Gables as read by Megan Follows! I have the set on cassette and listen to them often. I do not like any other version of AofGG as a book on tape. Now, if only they would release it on cd.
  Hello 64th., I am new here and I read your comment on the ''Anne of Green Gables Audio Books. Do you know where I can find them or send for them? Do you have a store name or an address? I have just become aquainted with ''Anne of Green Gables'' and loved it. Thank You So Much....Shirley
  Yes - a fellow kindred spirit! I had a similar experience to yours . . .I first fell in love with the mini-series and then read the books around sixth or seventh grade. I couldn't stop reading L.M. Montgomery until I made my way through all of the series, stand alone novels, and short story collections. I am the proud older sister that owns them all. I only hope I either have a daughter or convince one of my sons to love Anne in the future.
  For those who haven't read the book, an eBook and audio book is available online in Bookjive. Just click on the link that says eBook or Audio book at the top of the summary page.
  I have to admit, although I liked this book, I can't say I loved it. I was a little bored at times. The series moves a bit slow. This really is a great website!
  Montgomery's beautiful descriptions of Prince Edward Island have definitely put that destination on my bucket list.
  
  Generation Z (or Gen Z) is the demographic group that succeeds Millennials. They were born between 1995 and 2012, with the oldest now reaching their mid-twenties. Gen Z is currently the largest generation, accounting for about 25% of the U.S. population, and beating out Baby Boomers by a couple of percentage points.
  They also consume the largest share of Internet data and digital content as a whole. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as Gen Zers are the first generation not to remember a time without the Internet. They grew up online and have been familiarized with tech devices since birth. Many got their first smartphones as children.
  So, if Generation Z spends more time online than other demographic cohorts, what social platforms are they using?
