Not good at this

So I am not good at keeping track of what I have read. I know I have read more that this, but these are the only two I can think of.

Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott- I got this at the library when they didn't have Eight Cousins or Rose in Bloom (our book club books which I then got on Amazon and am waiting patiently for.) Good Wives is actually just the second half of Little Women. I loved rereading it. Especially as the mother of boys I thought a lot about what this book says about raising good boys. It was sweet and had more depth than I remember.

I also read the Amazing Journy of Prince Jen (or somehting like that) by Lloyd Alexander. I love Lloyd Alexander and think I would love anything he wrote. I like this even though it isn't his best work. I think the first half is really good- but it peters out and gets a little predictable towards the end. Nice message.
