The Christmas Stories of Louisa May Alcott by Louisa May Alcott (audiobook / library)
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Have you read Little Women? Then you know that it opens at Christmas time, with a heartwarming story of the girls giving what little they had away to people even less fortunate. It’s lovely. Now imagine reading 18 other stories that are almost exactly the same.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Whenever a Poirot mystery contains very little Poirot, I complain. But, my favorite Miss Marple books are the ones where Miss Marple is in the background.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Just okay. A poor man’s Daisy Dalrymple.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I can’t give it 5 stars because it doesn’t have songs or Boris Karloff
