Oh my, I’m doing the Alice in Wonderland rabbit trick this week, running a little late on my Nightstand post. They are supposed to go out on the first Wednesday of the month, but this week I’ve been fairly frazzled with home improvement projects. I barely noticed the calendar change, that’s how out of it …
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a lovely book. Turning the pages of this one was simply a joy and I was sad when I had to put it down, the mark of a truly wonderful tale. The story revolves around the four March girls and their mother …
