Has anyone seen Anne with an E? After the cancellation and abrupt ending of the TV series I am left wanting to see Anne's story continue.. although the books deviate from the TV show plotline should I begin reading at book 2, or perhaphs book 3, so that I do not have to start at the very beginning just to continue? Any advice will be appreciated, thank you all ❤

P.S,

You are extremley well spoken Meghan and I can feel your passion for this series!! Thank you!

I've read the whole series but never realised it was published un-chronologically!! Mind blown.

I never read the Anne of Green Gables series as a kid (I was more of a Little House kid!) and just recently discovered Anne at the age of 35. I love them! Just finished Anne of Avonlea and I'm diving right into Anne of the Island. Love to see series rankings. Thanks for the video!

I loved the relationship of friends between Walter and Rilla and the way Walter saw things in a beautiful way
Walter is my favorite character and is the image of his mother

[pamdawkins]

Your top three surprised me, although your reasoning makes perfect sense. Also I love how you stay so positive while explaining why you rank a book at the bottom of your list.

I'm actually reading Anne of Windy Poplars right now and loving it. So far my favorites are the first and the third though.

Thank you for your insight on, "Anne of Windy Poplars, " I am reading this at the moment and struggling through it; I appreciate your commentary on this book--I might skip ahead to the next one in the series and come back to it later :)

I love Anne and Gilbert <3 My favorite relationship

After seeing your comment on my Betsy-Tacy video I went to your channel and have been binge watching your fabulous videos! You are such a bookish kindred spirit and have convinced me to push past Anne of Windy Poplars. I'm so so pleased to have introduced you to the Betsy-Tacy series and I look forward to seeing many more videos from you!

[OMAR-oywq]

I loved the video and how amazing your way of speaking about each book ❤

I don't know that I can rank the Anne books in my mind. I tend to think of the series as one big long story. When I think of the Anne stories and my memories of reading and rereading them over the years, it's one whole story, and I find it hard to separate favorites or least favorites.
It was definitely interesting to see your rankings though!

So far I have only read the first 4 and at the moment I like them in this order ... Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island last. I was really pleasantly surprised by Anne of Windy Poplars because I had heard that it wasn't a favourite of many Anne fans. I kind of liked that it read like a book of short stories rather than a novel. I loved her letters to Gilbert and it actually made me cry when Katherine with a K spends Christmas with Anne at Green Gables. It just reignited all the Anne feelings that I've had from growing up with the movies.
I personally felt Anne of the Island was missing that. I didn't really like the new characters... in fact at the moment I can't really even recall everything that happens in that book... other than Anne gets proposed to a whole lot of times. The one part I did love, of course, is the ending, which is one of my favourite scenes from the movies too.

Really looking forward to reading more in the series, especially since so many fans love the books with the Blythe children.

It’s oddly gratifying to find someone with a very similar ranking lol. The only thing I would swap personally is the placement of Anne’s House of dreams and Rainbow valley but 3 and 8 are the kind of books I just want to hug every time I finish them as weird as that sounds. I love them.

[CarolynsReadingRamblings]

This was so great! i'm still only halfway through the series but I am hoping to finish the series this summer. Right now Anne of the Island and Anne of Green Gables are tied for my favorites but I've always had a sneaking suspicion that Rilla is going to tie with them when I get to that one. You've also made me so excited that Anne's House of Dreams is my next read in the series because it makes me very happy that you said that the feel is the same as the end of Anne of the Island :D.

We have watched / Have All of the Anne Series on DVD & Road to Avonlea. Just started watching Emily of new Moon.
just curious on where the Avonlea fits into the whole story.
because theres Anne of Avonlea & The Book & TV Series Road to Avonlea. which does have Marilla & Rachel Lynd in it.
My wife is from PEI & we are going there Again this summer.

Hey Mrs Megan, i had bought the collection of Anne of green gables yesterday and reading 1st book. I really liked it!

[CourtneyReads]

This is very close to how I would rank the series, I think. Rilla is definitely my favorite of the series. I love and adore it. Part of that is, like you said, that it has such a wide range of emotions presented because it was during war time. I also think it's very true to life for that reason - she was likely writing this book while the war was happening, so it's a real look at what many people would have been experiencing during the time. Rilla is also a fantastic character.

Hi, Meghan, I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I’m absolutely loving all your Anne content! Anne of Green Gables was my first ever classic book and I was obsessed with the film since I was three or four years old. It’s always nice to find kindred spirits on Youtube who love her as much as I do! 😀

[yellowRose]

Hi Megan! Thanks for sharing the Anne series. I was luckily able to find the rest of the series recently at a used book store. It's difficult to find the later books, especially after Island. You're right, some of the the best books are later in ther series. I just finished House of Dreams and it was easily a favorite.

[takingteawithcatherine]

I pretty much agree with this ranking! Rilla stayed with me longer than most of the other books of the series.
