Favorite Little Women Quotes

Chapter 1 "I know that they will remember all that I have said to them, that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully, that when I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women." Page12 "Let us do it," said Meg thoughtfully. "It is only another name for us trying to be good, and the story may help us; for though we do want to be good, it is hard work, and we forget, and dont do our best. Page13 Chapter 3 "I dont beleive fine young ladies enjoy themselves a bit more that we do, in spite of our burned hair, old gowns, one glove apeice, and tight slippers that sprain our ankles when we are silly enough to wear them." and I think Jo was quite right. Page38 Sadly I only read thru chapter 3. Oh well, I will probably continue reading Little Women when I am older ;) Shay

First Time Book Club-er

Hello there- I have just joined a Book Club that some ladies from church have started. I have decided to blog my thoughts and insights (if any) into the books that we are reading. With the Book Club we will be reading 1 book per month and meeting up on the 4th Wednesday of the month (or when we can get together) to chit-chat about the book and other unrelated topics :) The Book Club has chosen Little Women by Louisa May Alcott as their next read. I have read the abridged children's version when I was a child, and I have seen the movie as well. I am excited to start reading! Shay
