I love the Anne of Green Gables Series and pretty much anything written by L.M. Montgomery.  This book is the first book I fell in love with as a child.  I loved Anne so much, and still do I might add (:

I am a huge fan of Louisa May Alcott, and Little Women (along with Little Men and Jo's Boys) are among my favorites of all her work.

I just LOVE this book!

"If he loved  you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day."  (Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights)

And with writing like that who wouldn't!

I don't see how anyone who's read this book couldn't fall in love with it.  Such a powerful story!

Oh Anne....my best literary friend!

Once again, I know these are children's book and I'm an adult, but I absolutely adore the Anne of Green Gables series.  I read it over and over again.  Anne's world is a safe, familiar place that takes me back to my childhood, and just plain makes me happy.
