The collector’s edition version of the entire Anne of Green gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery.

Let me stop you right here.

In terms of the books, I give it a billion stars out of 5.

15/10, highly recommend.

I couldn’t think of what to title this post without sounding stupid, but a more realistic one would be “I Love Anne of Green Gables.”

Let’s jump into why.

But before I get into any nitty gritty, I want to share my 2 favorite quotes from the series.

From Anne of Avonlea, the second book in the 8-book series:

“She seemed to walk in an atmosphere of things about to happen.”

When asked “How are you?” in the first book, Anne responds:

“I am well in body but considerably rumpled in spirit.”

Perfection.

I have the first quote tattooed on my shoulder. It reminds me of the whimsical, bright, ambitious person I am (and want to be) and it’s a beautiful line full of imagery and charm and potential.

From Anne of Green Gables (a graphic novel) adapted by Mariah Marsden and illustrated by Brenna Thummler.
