I have books that I have re-read a dozen times. I am a bit of a bibliophile but when I was young my family was quite poor so despite my voracious appetite for reading I didn't have very many books of my own. Now I have hundreds but still re-read some of my childhood books (which were mainly books for adults, not for kids).Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-79673816310828845082014-08-13T15:28:55.074-04:002014-08-13T15:28:55.074-04:00You can also get the kindle version for $.99 on am...You can also get the kindle version for $.99 on amazon.<br />They have several versions. One is about Rilla? (new series for me)<br />I use kindle on my computer too, then I transfer what I want onto my Hand held kindle when I need to. <br />This is great for reading this winter.

And I appreciate the feedback on the Garden Idea book!<br /><br />IvyMae—<br />Interesting. I didn't know of Anne's daughter. She was obviously named after Marilla Cuthbert. I may have to try reading the first Anne book again this winter.<br />Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-30599738398186991062014-08-12T21:15:25.361-04:002014-08-12T21:15:25.361-04:00The "Anne" books and the "Little Ho...The "Anne" books and the "Little House" books are two equally favorite of mine.

Being a Canadian, I have read the whole series (more than once) and enjoyed both the movie and the Road to Avonlea TV series. However, Road to Avonlea is not really a takeoff on the Anne books. It is based on another L.M. Montgomery book called "The Story Girl". The characters are mostly different but the setting is the same. I'm not trying to nitpick, just thought you'd like to know :-)<br />My husband and I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog and have tried many of your ideas. I bought him your Whizbang gardening book last year and he has used the recipe for soil remineralization with great results, made solar pyramids, and planted out some new strawberry plants using Mr. Roe's ideas. All have worked really, really well. Thanks!!<br />MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
