I'm going to at least start this -- I've got Little Women on my Nook and am tackling it NOW! Haven't read it since I was a preteen.
From the link below:
Here’s the schedule for the Louisa Challenge in the order that she wrote them; free online books can be found at The Literature Network, but your local library will probably have hard copies of most of these titles. Louisa would approve of your actually holding the treasured book in your hand. Some of them are also available from Project Gutenberg.
January: Little Women – originally serialized as Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy followed by the second half of the story as Good Wives (1869)
February: An Old-Fashioned Girl (1870) – you’ll find out in this one why my name ends in “ie”
March: Little Men: Life at Plumfield with Jo’s Boys (1871)
April: Eight Cousins (1875)
May: Rose in Bloom (1876)
June: Jo’s Boys and How They Turned Out (1886)
There’s much more available to you from the Orchard House Bookstore. I have read many of these books, but not all. Challenge me to a new read! I also haven’t read or seen the movie made of Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women (2009), so I’m all for finding the book and the movie and making it part of our book club.
