While in Canada, I decided to read my favorite Canadian stories: the Anne of Green Gables series. I’ve read them frequently, and Anne was one of my childhood heroes. I adore her imagination and spirit, and I enjoy her cleverness and sense of humor. (Warning this post contains spoilers.)

Anne’s House of Dreams has generally been one of my favorite books because Anne and Gilbert are finally married (horray!) and Captain Jim makes me smile. Reading it now, in light of my infertility, was a bit harder than normal.

So I picked 25 books to take to Canada (I was planning on 20, but a successful lobby by a certain group of books persuaded me to increase my limit), and I thought I would share. However, in an effort to make it more interesting than just a list of books, I’ve decided to make it a game. Unfortunately, I don’t have any prizes to give away.

Here’s how it works, below I have blanks representing the letters in the titles of books and the last name of the primary author or editor. You may guess titles, author/editors, or both by leaving comments. As correct guesses are made, I will replace the blanks with answers, the person who made the guess, and affiliate links where appropriate. Hints may be provided as the game progresses.
