Small problem--I got bogged down by the third or fourth one in the series--it was a series of letters written by Anne to back home, and I just couldn't push through it. (Was that Anne of the Island or Anne of Windy Poplars?)
Then, as an adult, I tried again, starting with Anne of Green Gables, but it read like a mirror image of the miniseries, so I knew everything that would happen!
DebbieDee, can you give me any advice as to how to get back into them, maybe at a later point in the series? I'd love to find out what happens in the later books, but I need a jumping in point that isn't a quote-by-quote of the two miniseries that starred Megan Follows. Please help!

Oh, and another thing: I don't think that the sentimentality was a fault! I was upset about Matthew too...

I'll have to find those books again and reread them sometime.
