    Anne with an E is a coming-of-age story now on Netflix

    May 22, 2017 /

      One of my favorite childhood books, Anne of Green Gables, has been re-imagined and Anne with an E premiered on Netflix last week.  I absolutely LOVED this book and have thought about the story and Anne quite often over the years.  Along with The Black Stallion, and Island of the Blue Dolphins, Anne of Green Gables holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my childhood and how magical these stories were for me.  Still are frankly, and I love sharing them with my ten year old! Based on the classic book and film, this is a coming-of-age story about a young orphan who is seeking…

It not only is home to sites that have been around for over 5,000 years, but it is also known for its chaotic yet fun culture.

    May 13, 2017 /
