Mujercitas / Little Women | 
pick#Reading1001
I made it to today‘s years old before I read this American classic.
A sweet story about 4 sisters which does get a bit preachy and saccharine at points but that didn‘t detract much from my enjoyment.
Jo was definitely the highlight of this book although Laurie has his moments.
Marmee, one of the best mothers in literature. Love the book, love the movies. I am most fond of this 1994 version. The music, original score by Thomas Newman, is fantastic.

Thanks for the tag @RaeLovesToRead ☺️
1. I've read a fair amount. Lately I've been trying to go back and read the ones I skipped in school lol
2. I've had Little Women on my shelf for ages but never read it! Might have to give it a go soon
Listening to Laura Dern narrate this feels like sipping hot chocolate next to a fire while it‘s snowing outside.
I have watched both the 2019 (top) and the 1994 (bottom). Personally I like the 1994 version much more than the 2019 version for a number of reasons, including that the 1994 version cast Laurie better than the 2019 version. So of these two versions, which do you like better? #littlewomen #movieadaptations
pickI rewatch and reread Little Women every December in memory of my Bubbe -who loved the original movie which I currently cannot find, however, the Winona I watched last night is my favorite. (I did not like the new one at all, story was fine acting…notsomuch.) I consider it a Christmas movie 😂🎄♥️🤷🏻♀️

Here‘s my photo for “by candlelight” #festivephotochallenge I‘ve started my annual reread of Little Women. 😊📖🎄🕯 #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021 @Clwojick
pickFinished Little Women for a book club last month. Had such a great discussion. I definitely thought I‘d read this as a young adult, but I‘m fairly certain I had only watched the movie version 🙊 I‘m glad I read this, but it was dense. The poems and newsletter, I could have done without. Overall 4⭐️
1. All the Christmas Activities; putting our tree up, watching holiday movies while wrapping, making cookies and goodies, taking our baby girl to see Christmas lights and Santa 🎅
2. Hopefully Little Women-- and if I love it making it a tradition.

pick1. Hanging out with Jo and the sisters would be a fun way to quarantine. Dressing up, reading, playing music in that place and time.
2. Taking walks even on these cold days. Listening to a book podcast, or music or just thinking.
3 Under the Tuscan Sun was a good escape. Read that one a few years ago.

1. I have a few! The 1994 version of “Little Women” with Winona Ryder. I just adore Jo March and my daughter Josephine is named for her. Another great one is “Misery.” Kathy Bates is simply phenomenal in it!
2. I would love to see “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” on the big screen. It would have beautiful cinematography and would be a tear-jerker. I love crying from movies. Haha.
Thanks for the tag!
Finally watching the new Little Women. I enjoy the 1994 version so much and so far I‘m loving this one too.
Have to show off my new bookish tees from out of print !
Little women brings me comfort before I rest for the day, as the loving March family takes me to a world unlike the present.. Truly an enjoyable read. ❤️

#Blithe has a few different meanings, but I feel like Jo March fits them all at one point. She will always be one of my all-time favorite literary characters.
pickI don't usually read classics, they never normally live up to the reviews. This one was an exception, beautifully written. I really enjoyed it and this edition is wonderful!
It's from @Waterstones if you are looking for it!
5 stars from me!
1. Yes! Hubby always lets me get books and loves that I'm a reader.
2. I wish...
3. Little Women
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐One of my most beloved and favourite books of my childhood and the only book I have ever re-read multiple times, it stands the test of time for me and is always a delightful read.#louisamalcott#littlewomen #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads #litsy #thestorygraph #bookqueens #bookstagram

I‘ll go first:
1. My husband being able to go outside when his self isolation period ends on Friday 😃
2. The Unhoneymooners ...Can‘t wait!
3. I‘d love to talk to Hermione Grainger to see what she really thought of Hogwarts, Harry and Ron 😂
I‘d love to see your answers: @BayouGirl85 @Eggs @starlight97
It's old-fashioned and preachy, but I never get tired of Alcott's fiercely feminist story and four of my fave ladies: Meg, so good and proper, yet a little vain; Queen Jo, "a girl who was rapidly shooting up into a woman, and didn't like it" (was ever anything so relatable?); Beth aka Little #Tranquility, so-called by Useless Mr. March; and Amy, "a most important person- in her own opinion at least." #BlueCover #JumpIntoJanuary #InspiredNewYear
pickI finished my seasonal reread of this wonderful book on Christmas day. Each read is like settling down for a conversation with an old friend.
The March girls always help to lift my spirits and remind me of the important things in life. 💚

bailedI need to give up on this book. I put it aside and tried to return to it several times, only to discover that I wasn't much interested in coming back to it. Although it has its heartwarming moments, generally it's much too didactic for me.
#thatsclassic @Annie1215
so-soLittle Women is a well-loved classic. Unfortunately, it failed to win me over. For me, a classic is a story that stands the test of time, one that contains characters or situations that resonate through time. Little Women felt every bit its age, and rather than a fully fleshed out novel it reads more like a series of vignettes about the March family. It is cozy and quaint, but just far too old-fashioned for my tastes. ⭐️⭐️ #ThatsClassic
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ #november #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3246090894
pickRe-read this for November #thatsclassic and I‘m so glad I did. Sure, it‘s a bit preachy and slow paced at times, but when it‘s good it‘s so very good —a warm, cozy comfort read with many enduring truths that make it a classic. It was the perfect #audiobaking accompaniment for making my Thanksgiving pies.🥧
Are these titles any good? Never heard of them before .
pickHeart warming, wholesome story, difficult to capture attention at times with the writing style and diverging plot
pickI loved this book for #ThatsClassic ❤️
I had read it a long time ago so I had forgotten basically everything (including the professor who was amazing!) I found the second part easier to relate to and less preachy, but honestly I didn‘t mind that so much. I enjoyed the family dynamics, the love they all shared, and how they tried to make each other better people. You can‘t blame the boys for wanting to be part of that :D
so-soThe book had some ups and downs but overall was a decent read. It wasn‘t exactly a page turner but I did enjoy finding out where each of the girls ended up in their lives and how the families grew.
Happy Sagittarius Season to my fellow Archers 🥳
I saw this and felt very seen 😂 this also gave me major Amy from Little Women vibes #thatsclassic
Can you think of any other characters who are presumptively Sagittarius based on this tweet?
Where are my fellow Sagittarius at? I‘m December 15th, what are you?!
pickThis was so nostalgic for me. I‘ve been so connected to these characters since I was a little girl, so reading it now was so cozy. I do feel I was tough on Amy and happily accept my mom saying I‘m an Amy.
Admittedly it was a little long so I can see why not everyone in #thatsclassic loved it, but it was like putting on an old sweater. I also forgot how much I‘m in to the Professor 😏
This was one of my #bookspinbingo books as well!
Today‘s card is: Six of Diamonds; SHARING
“Generosity goes both ways; some give-and-take promotes harmony in any good relationship”
I‘ve got Little Women on the mind since I just finished it today. I immediately think of the March family sharing their Christmas breakfast with a less fortunate family.
What does this make you think of? Comment below!
pickThis book dive into the times and make you feel what was it like to be suppressed by the notions of others, as a woman, of you. It's a classic so surely not an easy read but worth the time.♥️
Moving through our November pick for #thatsclassic book club and thinking of how many great quotes come from this one.
This particular one makes me think of the Five Love Languages. Mine is apparently “Acts of Service” so this really hits home for me. Little gestures mean so much.
What about you guys? What‘s your “Love Language”?
If you don‘t know, it‘s interesting to look up!
