It Only Gets Better

+ "To other roses getting ready to bloom."
+ Better than I expected!

If Eight Couisins was great, Rose In Bloom is classic! I left the child-hood friends in great anticipation of meeting them again as adults. At the same time, however, I felt an ominous sense of foreboding. . . Would Charlie and Mac ruin their friendship in vieing for their sweet cousin's hand? I ...

The third book of the series brings closure to Demi, Daisy, Teddy, Rob, Dan, Nat and many other characters as they embark upon their adult lives, ten years after the conclusion of "Little Men."

Little Men47 reviews
Louisa May Alcott

Little, Brown Young Readers, 1994

My favorite Alcott novel...

Mention the name Louisa May Alcott, and most people will instantly think of "Little Women." But in my mind, the less often discussed "Little Men" is just as great, if not better. The story picks up shortly after the conclusion of "Little Women," with Jo and Frederick Bhaer running a school at ...

I could not recommend this any higher than 5 stars, but this whole ...

I honestly didn't think that I would enjoy this book as much as I did. :] It is a love and hate story. I wasn't fond of Catherine or Heathcliff, but i enjoyed the book. It took me a little while to really get into but after that i couldn't put it down! :] But if your looking for a happy story with ...
