I enjoyed Little Women at 9 or 10 and swiftly moved to enjoy Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom, and the continuations of the March sisters' story. This book, however, was blessedly left out of my reading until now–not in the least because it was a bad read, but purel...more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1987 Tue Sep 25 12:30:07 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 12:39:57 -0700 2007 5 1 false false Thu Mar 13 09:23:06 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 18:12:42 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 10:21:48 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 10:27:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 19:46:28 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 19:49:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 28 09:04:56 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 09:16:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sun May 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 11:40:41 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 09:42:16 -0700 2009
