My (Updated) Anne of Green Gables Collection

Three years ago I shared my Anne of Green Gables collection and I figured it was time to give an update! A funny thing happened though. So I was all prepared to tell you how I went from 39 copies to 55 (!) but as I was going through all my editions to take pictures for this post, I ended up culling 13 books. It was due to a mix of practicality (my poor little book tower looked like it would tip over) and secondly, I realized I didn't love all the covers anymore. And I want my collection to be all the covers I genuinely love and/or editions that have sentimental value.

Now I have 42 copies and for this post, I'm going to focus on the 16 editions that are new since my original post.

3. Virago Modern Classics (2017)

4. Scholastics UK (2015)

5. White Press (2015)

My fave of this group: I have soft spot for the yellow one!

1. Engage Books 1000 Copy Limited Edition (2016) 

I debated buying this for a while and then caved during my birthday month!

2. Arcturus Publishing Ltd (2019)

3. Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions Series (2012)

I can't find it online anymore

4. Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition (2017)

5. Andrews McMeel Publishing (2017)

This graphic novel is beautiful and managed to retain the same spirit.

My fave of this group: Really tough choice but I'd pick the Arcturus one! 

It's beautifully illustrated and just look at that slipcase!

(top-bottom; left-right):

1. Icelandic edition (2012)

2. Seven Seas Entertainment (2017)

3. Molino - Spanish edition (2018)

I can't find book 1 so I linked to book 2!

4. Canterbury Classics (2017)

5. Books-A-Million Exclusive (2017)

6. Kindred Spirits Collection Limited Edition (2019)

This copy is signed by a relative of LM Montgomery! 

My fave of this group: I feel like I should say the Kindred Spirits one but honestly, I have to go with the Icelandic edition! I didn't think it existed and during one of our bookstore stops in Reykjavik, I asked on a whim. I was so happy to find out they had it and it was the last copy too!
