Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton by Jane Smiley
I’m such a lucky girl… I received Tomato Girl from the author — thanks Jayne! I hope to read your book very soon. I will be reviewing Somebody Else’s Daughter for TLC Book Tours in mid-November. I won At a Loss for Words from Sandra at Fresh Ink Books. I also won The Entropy of Aaron Rosclatt from John at the Book Mine Set. And, I received this lovely origami bird from Bellezza. Thanks to all of you!
And when?… it’s 12,090 A.D.
I’m so glad I’m finally getting around to reading this series. I enjoyed the first two Anne books, and this one was no exception. This one is about Anne’s college years, her relationship with her friends Priscilla and Philippa, and also about her beaux Gilbert and Royal. Spoilers ahead, but it probably doesn’t matter as most of you have already read the book anyway… Of course, how could she choose anyone BUT Gilbert? I do wonder why it took her so long to realize that. Besides their relationship, I enjoyed reading about Patty’s Place, Davy’s further development, and all the other girls’ drama. I do think I enjoyed Anne of Avonlea just a bit more than this one, but I still fell in love with Anne of the Island as well. I probably won’t get to the others in the series until next year, but I’ve enjoyed these first three books tremendously. 1915, 239 pp.
