Rose in Bloom 31 reviews Louisa May Alcott
Little, Brown, 1995
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.

Little Men 47 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 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 ...
