It's on my to finish list for this year. I just found it hard to read after a full day mothering a toddler. I kept falling asleep. I will pick it up soon.Carinhttp://artfullycarin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-50951289349700962552013-01-08T17:54:52.433-08:002013-01-08T17:54:52.433-08:00Isn't is refreshing, Kelly??

I think her messages to young ladies, though a but antiquated on the surface, ring true deep down for everyone. (In my opinion.) <br />Regarding fave characters, when I posed that question at December book club, about 90% of our women said, "Jo for SURE!" LOL<br />thanks Brittany!! xoxoMarie at the Lazy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499662322233018616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-10125049981398742482013-01-07T11:48:58.786-08:002013-01-07T11:48:58.786-08:00Hi Amber!!

The way you are raising them, their varying personalities, your gentleness in motherhood... I am so excited to hear what you and Kaley think of it! My faves at that age or so (and also later with my girls) were Little House and the Boxcar Children.

I did just read (on NPR, maybe?) that there's a new book out about the influence Alcott's mother had on her. I guess traditionally more attention has been paid to her father's influence. Go marmie, that's what I say.

I have the Betsy Tacy series, the Anne of Green Gables books and this one. After reading this, I think we will read Little Women next. I can't wait! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to hearing the rest of your thoughts about this book.
