Book of the Moment: 7/3/11
It was an awesome week reading wise. I finished last weeks book quite easily and then started and made a good sized chunk in this weeks book. Most excellent and I'm very happy about it indeed.
This weeks book is a reread of the third book in the Anne of Green Gables series. Probably the one besides the first one that I remember the most, quite enjoyable rereading these now that I'm older I read them so often when I was younger and Anne's age at for the first and second books now I'm more her age for the later stuff and it's quite a different experience.

The fortnight Anne spent in Bolingbroke was a very pleasant one, with a little undercurrent of vague pain and dissatisfacation running through it whenever she thought about Gilbert. There was not, however much time to think about him. "Mouth Holly," the beautiful old Gordon homestead, was a very gay place, overrun by Phil's friends of both sexes. There was quite a bewildering succession of drives, dances, picnics and boating parties, all expressively lumped together by Phil under the head of "jamborees"; Alec and Alonzo were so constantly on hand that Anne wondered if they ever did anything but dance attendance on that will-o'-wisp of a Phil. They were both nice, manly fellows, but Anne would not be drawn into any opinion as to who was the nicer.
"And I depended so on you to help me make up my mind which of them I should promise to marry," mourned Phil.
"You must do that for yourself. You are quite expert at making up your mind as to whom other people should marry," retorted Anne, rather caustically.
"Oh, that's a very different thing," said Phil, truly.
