Rachel Smalter Hall may be a professional Book Rioter, but she still hangs out in the public librarian clubhouse. Two of her top three loves include audiobooks and knitting, and her favorite song is Cold Hearted Snake as performed by Alyssa Edwards and Coco Montrese on season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She co-runs a boozy book club in Lawrence, Kansas, in her spare time. Twitter: @rach_smalls Website: Rachel Smalter Hall

It’s here! PBS is airing a new adaptation of Anne of Green Gables on Thursday! And Netflix is also working on a new mini-series adaptation by Moira Walley-Beckett of Breaking Bad which will air next year. In other words, there’s no better time to brush up on L.M. Montgomery’s beloved classic.

We’re so excited to share an exclusive excerpt of True Detective’s Rachel McAdams reading Anne of Green Gables, from a new audiobook version that will be released Tuesday, November 22 from Audible Studios. (Bonus: Rachel McAdams is Canadian, aww yis.) Thanksgiving travel listening, anyone?

Psst: Want even more Anne?
