Bingo Reading Challenge - An update!

There was no way we could let our blogs just sit and rot, while we blamed everyone but ourselves for not writing. Deciding to put an end to the hiatus on writing, me and Ishithaa have decided to write on every day of November on alternate days. Today if the post is on my page, tomorrow it will be on hers.....

Book Review: Anne of Green Gables

I have been on a reading spree for few weeks now! Am glad I crossed my target of reading 40 books a year with a good 3 months still to go . Gawk at my goodreads reading challenge badge :-D





But if I were to pick one and only one book out of this lot to review, my choice would be "Anne of Green Gables"

A book about a lovely, impish, full-of-life orphan girl who embraces life to its fullest! As you flip through the pages, you'll unknowingly get drawn into the magic of looking at life through Anne's eyes! Trust me, you'll soon look at the hustling bustling streets that you view with disdain from your living room balcony, suddenly in a new light and the world will seem a better place to live in!


A simple, easy-to-read, light-hearted yet meaningful book this is! A definite reco ....

Have you read this book? Do you have any other recommendations for me?


Linking this to WT fest of words day Day 2. The task for the day is "Write A Review".
