Ok #hashtagbrigade make sure you‘ve got your copy ready, we will be reading a chapter a day in August! My copy has 35 chapters so we will run over into September just a little! Don‘t forget to tag me when you start reading so I can see your book covers! This should be a good one!

See All 8 Comments

Clare-Dragonfly I think I was pretty shocked by this pairing the first time I read it, but I love it now. I think he does love her, and that‘s why he gets over Jo so quickly—but he sure justifies it to himself strangely! 2w

TheAromaofBooks I've actually always shipped them. Partially because I think he and Jo are a terrible match. Maybe partially because I was SO convinced that my best friend in high school was going to be my husband & was heartbroken when he didn't agree 😂 But like Laurie I realized that a lot of my feelings were romanticizing him/glossing over reasons we weren't a good match. I think that's a lot of what this chapter reflects - Laurie realizing that he was more ⬇ 2w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) in love with an idea of Jo than her as a real person who would be his life-partner. Alcott also glosses over the correspondence and deepening relationship between Laurie and Amy, so I think that adds to making their romance feel more abrupt than it was. But I think they are so well-matched and complement each other well. 2w

quietjenn I think that Amy and Laurie are a much better match, so I'm good with it. He and Jo always felt like Just Friends to me. 🤷‍♀️ 2w

Cuilin My question is this, if they had an Irish lady in to help, plus kitty was doing the cooking, what was Meg struggling with? Why couldn‘t John parent with her? It seems Alcott wrote this chapter as a lesson to women to not forget their husbands even if they have twin toddlers? I just can‘t with the moralizing. 3w

Bookwormjillk I felt for Meg in this chapter. Everyone‘s telling her she‘s doing it wrong and she‘s just trying to hang on. But yeah I thought she said 6 months but then he was acting like he was 2 or 3. 3w

See All 11 Comments

Librarybelle I had similar thoughts, @Cuilin . 3w

willaful @Cuilin It read to me that she wasn't letting him co-parent, which was a big part of what had to be worked out. And she was over doing it and neglecting herself too. I actually think it's pretty decent advice for a new mom.

From the beginning of the chapter, I think they're about a year old; Demi is precocious. It says she didn't have a problem until about a year, and the 6 months is how long John has been being absent from home. 3w

Cuilin @willaful Yes agree, taking care of yourself and also accepting help is great advice for a new mom. Alcott centering John‘s loss of wifely attention seems purposeful and that‘s what really irritates me. I know I‘m judging from a contemporary feminist viewpoint. I love classical literature, but I seem to be struggling with this novel more than others. It‘s triggering me. I‘ll unpack that sometime soon lol 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I hate how it‘s all Meg‘s fault that John is unhappy! He should have been stepping up all along so she had some time and space for herself! I‘m sure it wasn‘t at all expected in the time period, but he‘s clearly capable of it. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Kitty is the Irish lady; they just have one person in to help (I guess). But I‘m also puzzled why she‘s worn so thin when she‘s not cooking for the family or doing the housework. Not to denigrate her effort or say that twin babies are easy! 3w

Cuilin @Clare-Dragonfly oh that makes sense. I missed that. Thanks. 3w

julieclair It bothers me that it‘s viewed as Meg‘s fault that John “has to” find companionship at the neighbors‘ house. 2w

mcctrish I‘m behind and catching up. I‘m with @Cuilin and the moralizing. First time moms do make mistakes ( you don‘t know what you don‘t know) and I know everything took 100 times more effort to do so of course Meg would need help but Jeez Louise the about when John says enough is enough Meg listens 😬 2w

peanutnine I'm so proud of Jo for standing her ground and not caving under the pressure to accept, especially because she does care about him in some way 3w

TheAromaofBooks I always feel so bad for Jo in this chapter. She really does care deeply about Laurie, and it's hard to tell someone you love that you can't give them the one thing they really, really want. I really admire the way she looked at the long-term of what a marriage would really be like between them, and recognized that it wouldn't really be happy for either of them. Ah Laurie - young love always thinks there is no other path! 3w

Clare-Dragonfly So sad! But Jo‘s right, she gave Laurie every sign that she did not want to marry him, and yet he persisted! He‘s pretty childish in this chapter. @Bookwormjillk I‘m certain she did! I know she got lots of letters after the first part was published from girls begging for Jo and Laurie to get married. 3w

Cuilin I 100% agree with Mr Dashwood. Has Jo really stopped writing, like for good? I don‘t remember this. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I didn‘t remember this part either! 3w

Bookwormjillk Bhaer looks a lot younger than I pictured him in this picture 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk the book definitely makes him out to be older 3w

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk if I had to choose between Christian Bale as Laurie or Gabriel Byrne as Bhaer. I‘m choosing Gabriel Byrne. 3w

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I‘ve never seen the movies 🫢 3w

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk it‘s been years since I‘ve seen it. I also liked the more recent one. I just recognize Gabriel Byrne‘s picture and then I looked up who played Laurie, I did not remember. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Jo! Swinging between extremes and then giving up entirely is not the answer to your pangs of conscience! 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Both of the recent movies make him so much younger! I say this with love, because I honestly love Professor Bhaer and his romance with Jo, but the actor in the Greta Gerwig movie is way too young and hot 😂 3w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 💯 3w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly so true! He‘s a rumpled old man 3w

julieclair Bhaer seems like such a good man. I don‘t remember any of this. I think when I read Little Women as a kid, it must only have been Part I. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Rumpled old man is a perfect description even though he‘s like my age 😂 (but the idea of marrying a 21-year-old is horrifying! Bhaer and Colonel Brandon, you are incomprehensible!) 3w

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I liked this chapter too! 4w

It's an odd one... but honestly not as bizarre as the movie!! 4w

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed how these chapters have showcased how much Amy has matured, and how intentional she is about working to be a better person. Also love the mental image of Laurie walking around with May's vases 😂 4w

Clare-Dragonfly I forgot that it‘s Aunt Carroll—who has barely been in the book up until now—and not Aunt March who takes Amy to Europe! 4w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I know! In both new movies, it‘s Aunt March 4w

mcctrish I feel for Jo. My aunt took my younger sister to Scotland back in the day because she thought she‘d be more amiable than me, who was a teenager at the time. My sister and I are 5 years apart so I think she was 10 - I‘m not sure what my aunt thought I‘d get up to on my own or even with them. 4w

Bookwormjillk I feel for Jo but also think she‘ll be better off figuring out how to go on her own terms. I can‘t imagine she‘d enjoy having to behave for Aunt Carroll. 4w

Librarybelle I was exasperated with both John and Meg in this chapter. Newlywed squabbles! 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle agree! Also why does freaking Laurie get to name their twins? 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - I think the twins were already being named after their parents (John and Margaret), with Margaret Jr getting called Daisy as a nickname, so Laurie just came up with a diminutive nickname for John Jr. “Demi“ means half/partial, so basically Little John haha 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - Although actually you inspired me to look up and see why “Daisy“ is a nickname for “Margaret“ and apparently it's because Margaret=Marguerite in French and Marguerite=oxeye daisy. Talk about convoluted 😂 1mo

Cuilin I‘m not giving up but I‘ll be honest, I‘m not liking it. 1mo

Librarybelle Oh! Thanks for the meaning of Margaret, @TheAromaofBooks ! I was wondering how Laurie got Daisy for Margaret! Laurie has to be involved in everything, @Bookwormjillk . 🙄😂 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly THE JELLY. I always felt for Meg so much in this chapter. I would have been crying, too. And John never seems to actually apologize for what he did wrong! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I know! She one of asked for it, but dude, read the room! 1mo

peanutnine Okay, but actually, what does their dad do?? Now that he's not in the army they haven't mentioned his profession that I can recall 1mo

See All 12 Comments

IndoorDame I think it said dad became a minister after the war, but I don‘t know enough about the church to have any idea who or what subsidies a minister (now or back then) 1mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame @peanutnine I think he was a minister too. I believe he was a chaplain in the army also. (edited) 1mo

Bookwormjillk He kind of said he‘s been waiting 30 years for someone to recognize his genius like that was a good thing. 1mo

dabbe I don't think ministers made diddly squat back then. I don't think they make much today either. In the book CLEAR for #CampLitsy, one of the main characters was a minister in the 1800s who needed side jobs just to get by--one of which was removing a man from an island during the Scottish Clearances. 1mo

willaful @Bookwormjillk 🤣

He's a minister so I guess he has some kind of “living“? 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I have always wondered if the quotes from Jo‘s reviews are actual quotes from reviews of the original first book of Little Women. Some of them certainly sound like it! 1mo

julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly I also wondered if the whole writing and editing process was autobiographical. 4w

mcctrish @dabbe in Clear the side gigs were to raise money to rent a space to attract a congreagation that would then tithe the church and fund the minister 4w

mcctrish Mr March would only be as wealthy as his congregation so he‘d be wanting a wealthy benefactor and he‘d use his own money to help and support the poor within his parish 4w

dabbe It's been so long since I last read this. I totally don't remember the 2nd-person POV when the narrator talks directly to us as various points in the story. It's an interesting way to write and definitely brings us into the fold of the March family household. 1mo

Bookwormjillk I wish someone would have set up my house like that! I don‘t know why the thought of a lifetime supply of linens is so soothing! 1mo
