I must have read this book dozens of times when I was a kid (I think I had an illustrated version as well, but I can’t find it, nor any record of it online, so far all I know I may have made it up?), but I haven’t read it, oh I don’t know, at least since middle school? I also never read any of L.M. Montgomery’s other books. No idea why I did this. Even as a kid, I was all over sequels, a little […]
A bear mops a carpeted floor.
I actually didn’t remember this one going into it, so my hopes weren’t high, but it turned out to be one of the best installments of these first sixteen books, even if it’s a little dated (okay, I’ll be honest, part of the reason I liked it so much is BECAUSE it was dated–all the adorable little references to 14k bps internet speed and modems and THE INTERNET and chat rooms and their idea of “security” and such, not to mention the thinly veiled AOL […]

Which is apparently #23. Dammit, Ashley’s brain! It doesn’t actually change too much of what I wanted to say about it, though. And this book has confirmed something for me. As a kid, Marco was my favorite. I thought he was hilarious. But as an adult, it’s […]
