I binge read them - and am quite certain I would have binge read them if they were all available and I was reading them as a kid. Yet the increasing maturity of the series as well as the relatively amoral tone of the books makes me wary of that. I suppose reading aloud would help slow the process down as well as give opportunity to discuss the mature and/or amoral aspects as they come up. You've given me something to chew on :-)bekahcubedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449654823418176968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153352.post-14053900439423463522017-01-27T11:29:54.827-06:002017-01-27T11:29:54.827-06:00It is never time wasted! :)It is never time wasted! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660852009014295034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153352.post-57820904369357333182017-01-27T11:29:39.309-06:002017-01-27T11:29:39.309-06:00How have you not read Little Men!! I think I actua...How have you not read Little Men!! I think I actually read that first, and then found out about Little Women - you HAVE to read it. Have. to.<br /><br />Oh my word, HP took us FOREVER. We started it last summer, and each chapter probably took at least two nights (sometimes three) to get through and we were very hit or miss as her interest would ebb and flow. But I'm glad we finished it and we have the second book queued up for when she's ready.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660852009014295034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153352.post-22441859185542383842017-01-27T08:04:34.779-06:002017-01-27T08:04:34.779-06:00Oh, Jennifer Trafton is Andrew Peterson's SIL?...Oh, Jennifer Trafton is Andrew Peterson's SIL? I didn't know that!<br /><br />My 3rd born is less interested in reading than my first two, also. What is that? Though truthfully, when my girls were at his stage of reading development, they were sort of like he is, too. I love the idea of reading HP aloud, but it's SOOOOOOOO long. Eeek! <br /><br />I bought the annotated Little Women at Orchard House. I can't wait to dig in. <3 I haven't read Little Men, either. <br /><br />SO GLAD TO BE BACK! Love these chatty book posts. Love you! <3Amy @ Hope Is the Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949836482747469686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153352.post-76951059887527900982017-01-26T15:12:27.406-06:002017-01-26T15:12:27.406-06:00I may have to pick up Little Women again.
