Cover of So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix by Bethany C. Morrow

A Little Women “Re-miss”

So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix by Bethany C. Morrow

February 4, 2023 by jomidi Leave a Comment

  My YA book group selection for February is So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix by Bethany C. Morrow.  It is a take off of Little Women where the family is recently freed slaves and the time period is the civil war.  I assume it was selected for Black History Month.

Book about memory sure faded fast

July 10, 2018 by lowercasesee Leave a Comment

It’s a short read, I blew through it in less than a morning – and it stayed with me for about as long. There’s a nugget of a neat idea here, but the execution was sorely lacking.
