Little Women
_________________________________
First book I recall reading. Was in the lower elementary grades. A librarian pulled me aside from 2 other little girls. She handed me the book and said she thought I would really like reading this book.
Why just me? I’ve no clue. Why me, indeed? I’ve no clue. There was a room full of youngsters.
Don’t even recall her name, though I do recall her face.
Grateful to her. For all the books I’ve read, I owe her for presenting me with the book that got me hooked on reading.
I first read the story of the Marches at age ten and felt wealthy when I found out that Louisa May Alcott had written many other books and that I got to read all of those too.
