So often, I re-read my way through my Louisa May Alcott collection. I have already read An Old Fashioned Girl and am settling into Eight Cousins (I think it is my favorite of LMA's books - the house in the book is so fantastic!)

I think shall go and look for that on my kindle, for the sake of nostalgia.<br />There is one Christmas-themed paperback on my TBR pile, it was given to me in July by my mother-in-law, and I'm going to start on it probably in a week or two. There are also several Christmas books on my kindle which will be good company for those almost-daily train rides to and from work. It is, after all, less than two months away!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-54709065435495615842013-10-27T15:14:12.309-04:002013-10-27T15:14:12.309-04:00I want to read some Christmas themed mysteries and...I want to read some Christmas themed mysteries and novels this year, but not sure when I will start.

I am reading or re-reading through Dickens and I did download "A Christmas Carol" to my Kindle (that's a definite re-read as we used to read it every Holiday season to the kids (as my dad did for us when I was a child). But as you know I don't have many "real" books with me any more (I'm sure my daughter has that one). Most of the books you mention here are completely new to me, so it will be a fun adventure to pick a couple to get me in a Holiday mood!Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-21435137651039000002013-10-27T12:09:44.030-04:002013-10-27T12:09:44.030-04:00The Story of Holly & Ivy is one I'll have ...The Story of Holly & Ivy is one I'll have to look for!
