1st chapter 1st paragraph
hosted by Diane of Bibliophile by the Sea
"Mrs Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops, and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde's Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs Rachel Lynde's door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs Rachel was sitting at her door, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof."
and that 1st paragraph is all one sentence!

I'd have to keep reading. I know I'd like this one:) thanks for joining us this week.
I've read this several times. Enjoy.
I'm not sure if I would keep reading. I know I should....but I usually don't do well with the 'classics'.
It's been a while since I last came across this book. Now I want to pick it up again.
My Tuesday intro: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/06/first-chapter-first-paragraph-63.html
Anne of Green Gables remains one of my all-time favorite books, no matter how old I get or how many times I've read it. :-) It would be interesting to hear it as an audiobook, I think.
I would enjoye hearing or reading it.
I have never read any of the Anne of Green Gables books, can you believe it? It seems a crime somehow. I wouldn't mind reading them with my daughter when she's older. :-)
I love that story. I have never read the book though. Great teaser. Thanks for stopping by my site. :)

I've never read this but my daughter is at the moment. I know it's a very beloved classic. The teaser sounds like we have a somewhat nosy neighbor here... :)
Anne of Green Gables! Yes! I have found many Anne of Green Gables books at thrift stores, my girls enjoy them so much. Thanks for sharing!
Here is my TT:
Messenger (The Giver Quartet #3)
Great teaser! I loved Anne of Green Gables (well, the whole series!) Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
I re-read this classic not too long ago and enjoyed it, even though all those LY adverbs drove me nuts! It's interesting how writing styles change over the years.
My Teaser is from SINFUL FOLK. There's a giveaway too.
Loved the series!
Here is my intro post from Song for Sophia by Moriah Densley.

Love this series. I am sure you are too!
I've read this so many times, along with the rest of the series (but this one was my favourite) How lovely to include it as your teaser! Here is my TT http://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/teaser-tuesday-june-3/
I'm not sure I ever read that one - I know it's a classic! Good one!
Here is mine today from:
Empire Girls
I'd keep reading.
I loved the whole Gables series. Anne Shirley is a great character!
Oh, great teaser! This was one of my favorite books/series growing up, and one I should reread. Thanks for visiting! ☺
'Anne of Green Gables' is such a classic and I still haven' read it. I feel like maybe I should've read it as a child, but no one around me ever read it either :( I hope you enjoy it :)

Great Classic, and me too, I haven't read it yet! though I have seen a few movie adaptations. Reminds me that I should really read more classics.

I've never actually read Anne of Green Gables but I've heard lots of people say it's a favourite. The teaser sounds interesting. I'll have to find a copy of it somewhere :)
A classic that brings a smile at remembrance.

I've never read this but perhaps I should.
You know, I've not ever read the Anne books either or any of the others related. I know - it's sad. And that sentence is very, very long. LOL
