"The Quiet Little Woman: A Christmas Story"

As I panic that my first month's goal of "read 3 books per month" looms just 8 days away, I tick book #2 off of my reading list. I'll admit - I picked a shorter book this time so I can meet my goal. However, I chose one that was A.) a Christmas themed story   B.) a book I've owned for years and never read    C.) a book by one of my most beloved authors, Louisa May Alcott. 

This book consists of several short stories all involving a young girl as the main character and each with such wholesome morals in it that it makes me walk away wanting to be a better person. Alcott has been one of my favorite authors b/c reading her books is like basking in the sun during the first warm day of spring. It's SO REFRESHING to the soul and almost always convicts me about some area of my life. It's a super easy read and I finished it in about 3 nights of reading. :-) If you love Alcott, get this book! Also perfect for a junior high aged girl that loves to read! Very clean, no language, and morally virtuous!
