Kallie George honestly writes the cutest stories inspired by Anne of Green Gables.
Goodnight, Anne is a children’s bedtime story. It follows Anne as she says goodnight to all of her favourite people and things. It’s a fantastic way to introduce young readers to characteristics and aspects of the classic Anne of Green Gables story.
We’re midway through October, which means we’re halfway through my Fall for Anne feature! It’s been so much fun introducing readers of all ages to Anne of Green Gables. And I can’t wait for the rest of the posts this month!
Today’s post is really exciting for me. I absolutely adore Kallie George’s books, some of which are inspired by Anne. In case you missed it, I reviewed her chapter books Anne Arrives and Anne’s Kindred Spirits this week. My review of Goodnight, Anne is coming!
Kallie George is on the blog today to chat about how Anne has influenced her – I hope you all enjoy!
Happy Friday, everyone!
I have another great post today for my Fall for Anne feature! Today, I’m reviewing the sequel to Anne Arrives – Anne’s Kindred Spirits. It’s such a cute sequel, and I hope you all have the chance to pick it up soon!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
It’s the end of the long weekend here in Canada. I celebrated Thanksgiving with my family and it was great. The food coma is real!
Today’s Fall for Anne post is super exciting – and is one of my favourites! I absolutely love this entry series to Anne by Kallie George, and I hope you guys will too!
Anne of Green Gables is such a classic novel, it’s great to see it in different forms.
This board book is absolutely adorable! It’s the perfect book for family reading nights or early readers. Similar to other board books, it’s the perfect size for tiny little hands to get involved in reading and help turn the pages.
Wow. This book. This book is just such a good debut. I first heard about this book at the Frenzy Presents event in August. I immediately pre-ordered the book and I’m so, so glad I did!
Serpent & Dove follows Lou, a witch hiding from her coven and the town’s witch hunters – The Chasseurs. It also follows Reid, a witch hunter who hunts and kills witches, with no questions asked. A series of events brings these two together, and chaos ensues!
Happy Monday, everyone!
Today’s Fall for Anne post is super exciting! I’ll be reviewing the Anne Inspired Board Books by Kelly Hill. They’re perfect for toddlers and their teeny, tiny hands. They each teach young kids important aspects of life. And – they each introduce early readers to the world of Anne of Green Gables. What could be more perfect than that?
Before chatting about these books, I wanted to thank Penguin Canada and Tundra Books for sending me a copy of Anne’s Alphabet to review. The other books in this series were purchased by me!
This book is charming and super adorable. It’s my absolute favourite classic novel and I think it’s one everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.
Anne of Green Gables follows Anne, a young orphan who is adopted by a brother and sister in Prince Edward Island, Canada. While they originally want a young boy to help with the farm, they quickly fall for Anne. She’s imaginative, creative and sometimes unrealistic, but incredibly loving.

I’ve included books in different genres and for a wide range of audiences! Whether you enjoy contemporary, romance, fantasy, thrillers, or anything in between, this list is definitely for you.
Dead Voices is the perfect sequel to a spooky middle grade series. It’s eerie and haunting – the perfect fall read!
The Small Spaces series follows Ollie and her friends Coco and Brian. In the first book, they confront the Smiling Man. In this book, they deal with the aftermath, and a new spooky encounter at a ski lodge.
Let me start off by saying that I absolutely adored Small Spaces. It’s creepy and super entertaining. And I just love the characters. These feelings are only enhanced throughout my reading experience with Dead Voices.
Immediately after hearing about Stalking Jack the Ripper, I added it to my TBR. But it’s been sitting there for such a long time. I don’t know why it took so long to read it, but I’m so happy I finally did. Stalking Jack the Ripper follows Audrey Rose, a young girl in the 1800s with a passion for forensic science. When the Jack the Ripper murders take place, she desperately tries to solve the mystery alongside her friend, Thomas.
