Greetings my lovely friends!
I hope you are enjoying a fun Sunday! Yesterday, my mom and I saw Little Women together. I will admit, I experienced a strong bias to the 1994 Little Women, and couldn’t help being a little critical towards this one. I did love several aspects about it though. 🎥
Anyways, down to business! I always have so much fun making my summary, stats, and list of favorites each year. I am so grateful to the authors for sharing these wonderful stories with us. And I am so thankful to all you lovely readers who visit and participate on this blog! 📚
Thank you so much for checking out my Favorite Reads of 2019 and all the lovely support! 💕

Congratulations, Beth.
Thank you, Anngela!
I agree about the film Meredith. I liked some parts but definitely not others. Much prefer the 1990’s version.
Congratulations Beth! Enjoy!
Congratulations, Beth!
Interesting what you say about Little Women. I don’t love Greta Gerwig’s work and have been on the fence about seeing it.
Congrats! Enjoy the reading!
I like your stats and favorites.
Happy Reading, Beth!
Congratulations!
Congratulations Beth! Happy reading. 🙂
Congratulations, Beth. And I do want to see that movie so happy to hear your opinions, Meredith.
Congratulations Beth!
Congratulations to Beth!!
Meredith, I love your new mast-head at the beginning of your blog. Those pictures are amazing. They are always so much fun. Thanks for sharing them with us. You have a really good eye for setting up a book for us. Blessings in the new year for you and Mr. Bingley [hello to Mr. Bingley].
Thank you, Jeanne! They are updated from the pictures I share on instagram…I never know when they will change here though. lol! A little unpredictable.
Thank you, I hope you and yours are enjoying a happy 2020!
I have never read LITTLE WOMEN. I love reading Annotated versions of classic novels. Jane Austen is my favorite author; and I have learned so much about 18th Century Britain from reading Annotated Austen, I thought that you might be able to suggest several Annotated Little Women books. Also, please recommend your favorite Annotated version of Little Women. I appreciate and very much enjoy visiting this website. Sincerely, Dr. Roberta Shechter
I feel the same! And I learned so much I actually just read and reviewed The Annotated Little Women – https://austenesquereviews.com/2020/01/the-annotated-little-women-edited-by-john-matteson.html
There was another annotated edition I was considering (this one – https://amzn.to/2ToFWe8) but I opted for this one (https://amzn.to/2tixhPI) when I saw it was edited by a LMA scholar and Pulitzer Prize winning biographer.
Hope that helps!! And I hope you love Little Women when you read it, it is absolutely charming!!
Thank you all for your congratulations! Meredith was kind enough to send me a copy of A Lady’s Reputation by A. D’Orazio. It was a tough choice with so many tempting titles, and I have read several of them already. I so look forward to digging into this one! Escaping into the 19th century is a welcome respite, always.
