Hello kindred spirits – it is almost time to revisit everyone’s favourite chaotic redhaired orphan as she continues her adventures in the third book in the series, Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery.

If you haven’t been following along and want to catch up, you can read the discussions for Anne of Green Gables (Book 1) here and the discussions for Anne of Avonlea (Book 2) here.

Blurb: New adventures lie ahead as Anne Shirley packs her bags, waves good-bye to childhood, and heads for Redmond College. With her old friend Prissy Grant waiting in the bustling city of Kingsport and her frivolous new friend Philippa Gordon at her side, Anne tucks her memories of rural Avonlea away and discovers life on her own terms, filled with surprises . . .
