krysta...i love "Rose in Bloom"...and the prequel..."Eight Cousins"...i read them about once a year...and as a gift from your mother...priceless...

i liked "Little Women"...and tried to read others she wrote...but they didn't hit me the same way...LMA can be a bit preachy...though she comes by it naturally...and it was the fashion at the time...

i remember Mama and Grandma talked about "Elsie Dinsmore"...a girl so perfect she developed many an enemy among young people...i may have read it...i'm sure Grandma read it to my older aunts...Grandma LOVED books...especially poetry...and the "Girl of the Limberlost" books...they reminded her of her childhood...so did the "Little House" books...Grandma was born in 1886...and traveled by covered wagon...so she could relate...

yeah, "A Wrinkle in Time" and the sequels...

Delilah...i remember Mama reading some of those to us when we laid down for our afternoon naps...and The Box Car Children...and the "Shoe" books...each title being some kind of shoe...school shoes, ballet shoes, etc. https://www.amazon.com/The-Shoe-Books-6-book-series/dp/B08PF4H5R5

Pepin...i've had similar thoughts...that's why i'm just sending used books she might enjoy...no pressure...i mostly talk to GoodWitch...so i won't be looking for book reports or anything...but i'll be happy if she likes even one...or she can trade them to friends...
