I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees


I truly enjoyed this book. I read Little Women a long time ago and it was not one of my favorites. I was a bit skeptical at first about this book, but I believe I have found a new passion for these historical fictions. I had never put much through in to Louisa May Alcott's life and I am surprised by how my I learned from this book alone. And how it prompted me to find out more. It is crazy that she knew Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman.

Aside from the historical and biographical aspects of this book; the fiction part was amazing. I almost wish it had really happened. So scandalous and romantic! And the character of Louisa, so headstrong and fiery, I wish I could have met her. I think I am adding this one to list of books to buy and re-read. Definitely worth having.
