i hate to DNF a book but life is WAY too short to read bad books just for the principle.
Thanks Teri!Yes, exactly Sass. I find I stop enjoying reading altogether and it becomes a chore if I have something I don’t like.
Wish I could do that. For some stupid reason I feel compelled to finish a book even if its awful. Sigh.

Glad you're enjoying them. I'm making my way through the prequels at the moment
Lisa - (Aussie Girl) wrote: "Finished .Shelf and sheet noted."
what did you think Lisa? It is always so different reading these as an adult
It was such a nostalgic read Karen especially reading my late Mum's copy which is nearly 80 years old. Even though it is a book of its time (you could look critically at it as slightly racist and sexist) it was just a lovely read (and I still shed a tear when Matthew died!) I'm going to PEI later in the year and I can't wait to go to Green Gables. It's a real bucket list experience.
Yes I re-read them a few years ago and some things are a little shocking. I have my grandmother's books which are around that vintage too ;)I went to PEI in 2000 and it was just so breath-takingly beautiful. You'll love it

April Mini ChallengeBasically we have 70 tasks to complete. These are for books STARTED after April 12 at 7pm Sydney time. So we have a few days to plan.
If we get the 70 done we can shoot for the extra bonuses which means combining 2 tasks together for 30 points each (max 4), but I wouldn't worry about that quite yet. Let's aim for the 70 first.
