The curtain closes on the first installment of Little Women. If my memory of the film serves, the second installment will make me mad and weepy.

I don’t think I'll finish this book by the end of winter break after all. It's not a hard read, but it isn't a super compelling one either. I do love these characters, though.

These letters are so cute! What a brilliant way to show how each character deals with adversity.

😢

Mama March is such an amazing character!

"I am angry nearly every day of my life, Jo; but I have learned not to show it; and I still hope to learn not to feel it..."

Love this moment with Mama March!

"...one of those conversations between lovers in which the man says what he wants, explains nothing, and the woman is satisfied..."

Oh Hugo, you live in your own little world, don't you?

At least the hoi polloi have fun...

This grandfather is gross.

I was catching up on a few chapters and uhm...what just happened?!

I finally caught up! It helps that Volume V, Book 3 was thrilling!

Definitely didn't think this book would include quicksand.

Apparently I drove to San Diego to buy a book about characters from Irvine.

We have entered our sewer era

Ugh, the moral superiority of this guy!

I know it is a tragedy, but I was really hoping that character would make it 😢

"Little paupers do not go into public gardens. Yet it ought to be considered that, as children, they have a right to flowers." 💐

Hugo cares wayyyy too much about virginity. Just stick to the stuff you know, bro.

It has taken us 3/4 of the book to get here, and there's conflict already?!

Playing catch up & this quote hits hard, "Despotism violates the moral frontier just as invasion violates the geographical frontier."

I'm going to need a Hugo scholar to tell me if this is the first fart joke in Les Mis.

Ok, I'll concede that Poirot is a know-it-all, but at least he has the ability to back up the attitude.

OMG, am I going to hear the people sing soon?!

"At the moment, it is true, the past is very strong. It is reviving. This rejuvenation of a corpse is astounding. Back on its feet again, here it comes. It looks victorious. This defunct is a conquerer, it arrives with its legion - superstitions - with its sword - despotism - with its banner - ignorance."

To real, Hugo.

Hugo's totes hung up on slang. Bruh, 20 pages?!

Ok, hang on. How did it take me THIS LONG to realize who Gavroche is?! Sheesh!

Oh Marius, you poor, lovesick puppy.

I wonder how long this book would be if you combined all the writing about gardens...
