Little Women | Louisa May Alcott

I'm behind for my #classicschallenge2024 as Little Women was March's book, but better late than never. This edition was passed onto me from my cousin though I don't remember when.

kspenmoll It looks like an old edition! When was it published? 10h

Ooh what a fun prompt! This one has a publisher's date of 1885, with a handwritten inscription Christmas of that year. I've several other books that look old but don't have a copyright or publisher's date to tell me just how old.

Mirror Image | Danielle Steel

#twins #Springskies
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
One of my favorite Steel books, set around the time of WWI, Oliva and Victoria Henderson are identical twins, with very different personalities and desires. One fateful decision in their 21st year, changes the course of both their lives.

Born.A.Reader I have 3 or 4 Steel favorites and they were all written in the 80s, back when her books had historical substance and weren't ghost written. I like her books now, but mostly I consider them a pallet cleanser, as they're vastly different from her earlier works. 2w
Eggs I‘ve really liked quite a few of them but I‘m fairly new to Steel. Many are meh. Thanks for the tip about the 80s ones. 2w

Fellow #NancyDrewBR I need your help! My mother read ND as a girl, which would have been late 60s/early 70s & remembers a part of a book that she read, but can't find now. It's likely because of the updated editions, but she wants to see if she can find the title of said book. If anyone encounters this snippet, during our rereads, please let me know! 😊
This is what she recalls: (see comment below)
