Louisa May Alcott Reading Challenge {My Choices}

 Although I've been reading a variety of books this year, I haven't had any real reading goals for the summer months coming up. Since I was a girl our library's in the area have hosted reading programs of which I've been a part of, so I guess it's just part of who I am to do something fun with my reading come June.

I was so excited and happy to see several friends with reading challenges starting, and one is a Louisa May Alcott challenge to read one or more of her books, or books about her life in the month of June. So easy - and I'm a fan of her books {The Inheritance is my favorite!}. :D There will be lot's of fun posts about Louisa May Alccot and her life and writings, and even a giveaway!




So I've joined this little group {and hey, maybe you will too!} and thus here are my few selections to read through this month: 

Good Wives


Rose in Bloom 


  Jack and Jill 

An Old Fashioned Girl


Louisa May's Battle: How the Civil War Led to Little Women 

  None of the above have been read by me before, so this should be fun! The last selection supposedly has some lovely illustrations, and looks like it's more of a children's book, but I won't have time to read anything thicker for this challenge {this one looks great for later though!}.

    Thanks for participating in the challenge, Rachel! I was thrilled when I saw your post about it. =)

    This is an excellent list of Alcott books. Looks like we'll both be reading Rose in Bloom. :) The bottom 3 on your list, I haven't read yet, but will be keeping them in mind. Perhaps for next summer.

    Blessings to you, my friend!

      Several of us are reading Rose in Bloom (me included). Louisa May's Battle is a beautiful book, great illustrations. I read it a couple of years ago and loved it.
