No, I haven’t. Are you about to tell me that I should, and that that is what could spark my own future obsessiveness about LMA? I’m nervous, but compelled to ask all the same…

Thanks, BIP! I’m just loving all of these introductions to the literate, book-obsessed people I neglected while writing the book.

Have you read An Old-Fashioned Girl?

If I were to protest and say that one should never hide her nerdiness, that might reveal more than *I* would rather! But I have just discovered your blog and think your forthcoming book sounds right up my proverbial alley: I’ll definitely be adding it to my list.

I haven’t read Alcott’s later Jo books, but I did make time for Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom last year and was struck by their feminist spirit. I think, with just a little more reading experience of her work, it would be a quick trip to obsession with Miss Alcott for me as well!
