Little Women
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Revisiting Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel, 6 years after watching Greta Gerwig's phenomenal adaptation. Also a fan of BBC's mini-series and previous film versions, including Wynona Ryder's portrayal and the anime adaptation. This audiobook iteration, narrated by Laura Dern – who played Marmee in the 2019 film – was a delightful surprise. The story's magic never fades!

I have read several biographies of Bronson and Louisa, but did not know May(Amy) was a leader in her passion. Not only growing up with Transcendentalists and being offended by her portrayal in her famous sister's book, she knew several renowned artists of her time. I learned so much and stayed on Google to learn more about May's art. She was very independent and did not want Louisa's monetary aid once she was established.

I took a hiatus on posting due to some travel and am working on getting caught up on all things #PemberLittens! But I had to take a minute to post about the surprise gift waiting for me when I got home - this sweet collection of Louisa May Alcott titles. I've never read Jack and Jill, so I'm really looking forward to that one. I'm fact, I may need to do a full re-read of her works this year! #LouisaMayAlcott #BookishGifts

This cute little novella is about a group of siblings who don‘t have any money on Christmas Eve so go about various ways of earning a little something so they can buy food for Christmas dinner. A little schmaltzy but that‘s in keeping with LMA‘s style. 3.5⭐️

I read this book in high school for two reasons: I had a goal to read all the Newbery books and I loved Little Women.

I bailed on Susan Cheever‘s biography of Louisa May Alcott. It jumped all over the place,time-wise,people-wise,idea-wise.Too much about other literary figures of the time:Emerson,Thoreau,Hawthorne,Elizabeth & Sofia Peabody, Margaret Fuller,etc.Not that they are not fascinating figures in & of themselves,& they did influence Louisa, but it felt like the author spent an inordinate amount of verbiage on people & world events.It just felt scrambled.

Amusing and interesting! Loved to see how Alcott pulled from her lived experiences to tell stories outside of Little Women, and a couple of her jokes did have me rolling. #essays
