This book was almost exactly what I expected it to be. Fairly dull but with a few redeeming moments. Jo was absolutely the standout character, but I hate the way her story ended. I loved Laurie and Beth, and feel indifferent about Meg and Amy. One thing I didn't expect was just how strong the religious undertones would be in this book, but given the time that it was written I suppose that makes sense.

Overall I probably would have put this down and not finished this book if we weren't doing a video over it. I am still looking forward to seeing the movie though!

God I love this graphic novel series so much.

I would die for Ghus. That is all.

Alright that one really hurted... That ending? Wow. Spectacular. I'm still speechless.

Excellent as per usual.

The absolute audacity of Vaughan to publish this and then go on indefinite hiatus.... My heart has been ripped out and I want my money back

This blew me away. Contemporary reads usually aren't my thing but I picked this up on a whim and absolutely loved it.

I'm interested in learning more about the chakras but to insinuate that people get cancer or that women struggle with infertility simply because their chakras are unbalanced.... yea you lost me. Some of the balancing tips were interesting and I will attempt to incorporate them, but to also repeatedly suggest smudging when that is a closed practice doesn't sit well with me. The author could have advised for readers to utilize smoke cleansing which is not closed practice, but to instead use the term "smudging" either implies that either a) she expects all readers to be Native American or b) does not respect Native American culture and understand why smudging is a closed practice.
