The problem with any book series is that if you love it, there's never enough reading material. You're left in a lurch with an ache in your soul. The
Anne of Green Gables series, though, offers a few additional options. You may never have heard of these short story collections before. Honestly, I've never been able to read them--not because they're bad. The few short stories I have read were quite good. The problem is that I always try to read them after rereading the Anne series. This ultimately leads to disappointment, as the books don't exactly feature Anne or any of the other main characters you know and love. While they do include cameos by known characters, but these collections of short stories focus on other Avonlea inhabitants. As with most of the other Anne books, these books are free and legal because they're in the public domain.
I advise reading it months after your last Anne book.
Hmm, yes these books are good, and can be read as stand alones, for matter.True, they aren't related to Anne much but they're very good. I always love rereading The Chronicles but I never reread directly after the Anne books. If I did so, I guess the effect WOULD be as you have said.
