I apparently forgot a very important Louisa May Alcott book when I did my review on Rose in Bloom. I actually didn't even list all of the ones I have read, but one particular book has come up again and again over the last few days. "What about Jack and Jill?" So... I am here to tell you that Jack and Jill is on my shelf and I have read it a few times. I actually have a beautiful set of matching Louisa May Alcott books! Though Under the Lilacs is missing. :'(
Another book by Miss Alcott that I do not own but have read is The Inheritance.
Surprisingly, I found that I liked the movie better than the book. I should probably read the book again and make sure that my original opinion still holds. =) The movie does have a little language in it, but I love it!
