Louisa May Alcott: Little Women, Little Men, Jo's Boys (LOA #156) | Louisa May Alcott

After coffee/lunch/grad school work, it was still early and quite nice out, so I supported my local economy (aka shopping š›¨ļø¸). Found a nice Library of America edition of the Little Women novels, a gnome print from a local artist, a t-shirt (Single & Ready to Stay Single š†) and š¨© sticker, some notepads from a cute new stationary place, and a coupleš‘– from my favorite consignment shop.

julesG Love the shirt! š�° 9mo

The Complete Little Women: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men, Jo's Boys | Louisa May Alcott

1. I think Anne Elliot is my favorite, but I also love Lizzy and Elinor.
2. I can‘t decide. It‘s obviously one of Jane Austenā€s characters, but I love them all. Okay not all, but Mr. Darcy, Mr. Knightley, Captain Wentworth, Edward Ferras, Colonel Brandon - they all share 1. place š¬
3. Little women. I really like it, but I have to admit it‘s going slooow š™
Thanks for the tag @BeeCurious š
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

SpellboundReader Great answers! It is really difficult to decide on just one favorite character.
Even if you finish Little Women before June/July, I hope you'll consider following along with the chapter-a-day buddy read via #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade.
Little Women will be a reread for me but I always learn something new from other reader's perspectives and comments. š™‚ 10mo

SpellboundReader If you are looking for people to follow on Litsy, you could try looking up the books you like (such as Little Women or Persuasion) and then follow the readers who posted reviews for that book. Someone made that suggestion to me when I joined. š™‚š“ 10mo

Eggs @BeeCurious Great suggestionā¯£ļø¸ 10mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious thanks for the suggestion! I tried to do that with a few lesser known books I read recently but most of them aren‘t even listed here š™ 10mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious can you explain the # to me? I still don‘t really get how it works here š¬ 10mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious and one other thing - do you know why this post was once posted with and another time without a picture? š¤” 10mo

SpellboundReader @funkelbunt.liest - As this recommendation was kindly made to me upon joining Litsy, I'd also suggest referring to a few helpful Litsy 'how-to' websites and videos that were created by the awesome @Chelleo and, @Chrissiereadit among others. š™‚ They really help new members figure out how Litsy works, which is a bit overwhelming at first. (There are more buddy reads now than listed but you'll get the idea.) Links to 'how-to' in a message below.

SpellboundReader The # hashtags are often used to tag or indicate buddy reads or groups on Litsy, that way you can follow a buddy read you are interested by looking up the hashtags. For example if you are interested in seeing everyone's posts related to #hashtagbrigade , then just look it up using the search function. Hashtags are also used to describe book genres, readathons & holiday team competitions like #scarathlon in October. You can make up hashtags too! š 10mo

For additional groups, buddy reads, readathons, etc that aren't listed, I'd suggest looking through the old LitsyEvents posts and following them, which I think you already did. š‘¸

SpellboundReader As for why you post was listed 2x, once without the photo, I'm not sure. I've had a glitch with it taking an exorbitant amount of time to post, & I think it didn't work. Then I try again, and it ends up posting 2x times. For a double post, you could always go back and delete one of the posts. I'm not sure if you are using the app or the web version. For the web version, just tap the 3 dots ... in the lower right corner. Tap delete. Then tap 'ok'. 10mo

SpellboundReader I didn't mean to write a book here, but I hope this info helps. š

Everyone is nice here so if you have a question about someone's specific buddy read or readathon or hashtag, etc, then feel free to ask in the comments below their posts, too.

Thank you to @BethM and @tpixie for originally making some of the suggestions listed in comments above, to me. (edited) 10mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious thank you so much for all these information! Iā€m really slow at typing so I especially appreciate your time! 10mo

SpellboundReader @funkelbunt.liest - I'm happy to help. š™‚š™‚š™‚ 10mo

Visiting the Orchard House in Corcord, Mass. and seeing where Louisa May Alcott wrote was such a joy. I loved all of the paintings May Alcott drew on the walls, like an owl and flowers in Louisa‘s room. It was easy to imagine the girls spending time together there. The staff was so knowledgeable and shared so many details about the family‘s life. Definitely a bucket list thing for me!

vivastory Looks like a blast! I love literary tourism. 2y

batsy Lovely! I would love to be able to see it someday. 2y

The blockbuster that sold out its initial print run in just 2 weeks! Tickets for the movie bought! So looking forward to this over the holidays.

Scochrane26 I‘ve never watched any of the Little women movies & didn‘t love the book. I really want to see this movie though because I like the actresses in it. 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I'm reading the book now for the first time, bacause the new adaptation looks so good. I agree with @Scochrane26 I'm not loving the book, but I'm really looking forward to the new movie. 5y

Mitch @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Scochrane26 - for the first time ever I think I‘m going to skip the book and head straight to the movie! Hope that comment doesn‘t revoke my Litsy membership š¤£š¤£š¤£ 5y

LITTLE WOMEN SERIES – Complete Collection: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men & Jo's Boys: The Beloved Classics of American Literature: The coming-of-age series based on the author’s own childhood experiences with her three sisters | Louisa May Alcott

I got these books for my 8th birthday. They were the first books that were all mine and I felt so grown up. I spent a wonderful summer reading them. 40 years and many moves later these books are still on my shelf no matter where I am. They remind me of a time when I first understood the excitement and magic that books bring to your life. #funphotofriday #funfridayphoto

[DELETED] 2232195534 Love this! These are treasures! I still have my LMA books too, after almost 50 years. š€ 8y

LitHousewife I got those books for my 10th Christmas! I loved them so much. š 8y
