I had read Ele...FANGIRL!! Ahh! I love that book! :D<br />I had read Eleanor & Park just before Fangirl and was utterly disappointed. It was so predictable and overall just meh. I felt like I was reading Jacquline Wilson again - you know- with all the family problems. I think that's why I like Fangirl so much. I'v read plenty of incredibly shocking adult books so Fangirl is nothing compared to other adult books.<br /><br />And Anne of green Gables has been on my to read list for AGES!<br />Marian ^_^Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390278496506546152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-7057266966430015662014-07-15T21:46:06.034+01:002014-07-15T21:46:06.034+01:00Uh-oh!

Confused yet? ;P<br />What I was trying to say was that Eleanor and Park was adorable, but disappointing in the scandalous/swearing ways.<br /><br />But Anne of Green Gables?? LOVE LOVE LOVE! My grandma used to read that to me while we were doing sewing projects together and it's been one of my all-time favorites ever since! Have you seen the movies? They're great. And Gilbert Blythe is pretty handsome in there too :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243269551528491817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-84261768244043152702014-07-15T12:24:18.786+01:002014-07-15T12:24:18.786+01:00Seriously it pleases me far more than it should!!
...Seriously it pleases me far more than it should!!<br /><br />I did enjoy Fangirl ... but I prefer something more like Anne of Green Gables!! :L<br /><br />I would love to be bosom friends with her too! I love her and Diana so much <3 And I love her imagination too, and all her one-sided conversations with Matthew :') I also totally agree that I would LOVE to visit the Island, Montogomery's descriptions are so gorgeous ...Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-33212823269595938122014-07-15T05:17:33.819+01:002014-07-15T05:17:33.819+01:00Ha!

That's funny.<br /><br />Totally loved Fangirl and was definitely enamoured with Rainbow's dialogue characters and character relationships, too! I get the impression that Rainbow's books have more adult content in general, which I'm not big on either, but I did appreciate her realistic portrayal of new adults.<br /><br />OMG can you believe that I only very recently read Anne of Green Gables?? And YES I completely fell in love with it too!! I want ever so much to be bosom friends with Anne Shirley!! Words cannot express how much I love that girl and her imagination and her earnestness. I can only hope that she would think me a kindred spirit in turn. It's become an insta-favourite of mine, just like that! And it has convinced me that I MUST visit Prince Edward Island in my lifetime.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-40249358263801402292014-07-14T18:36:36.736+01:002014-07-14T18:36:36.736+01:00Same.

It's funny how the colors sometimes coincide. I've read a lot of red and purple books recently. And before that, blue seemed to be quite common.
