Now, the classics are my favorites, so this is delightful! And yes, having people to talk to about it makes it even more fun!<br /><br />Absolutely! Now that I'm older I also really appreciate the writing style.<br /><br />It is a brilliant cast of characters who are all so sweet, except of course Rottenmeier. Lol. I am looking forward to seeing more of them!<br /><br />Yes, of course! I love joining you in talking about all of these! :)Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-72420268897252357212020-01-22T16:18:49.359-07:002020-01-22T16:18:49.359-07:00I'm really glad you're loving the book thi...I'm really glad you're loving the book this second time around! Responding to your comment above, I could totally understand how the story might have felt boring the first time--I imagine I might have felt the same way if I'd read it when I was younger. (Which I don't recall doing.) But reading it now, I feel like I can appreciate it more--plus, it's always fun to have the motivation of reading and discussing a classic with you all! :)<br /><br />Anywho, I agree that the descriptions in this story are lovely! They really set the scene and pull you into the locations, especially the beautiful mountain setting. <br /><br />Great thoughts about all the characters! Heidi is totally sweet and charming. The Alm-Uncle is wonderful too, and I agree that it's cute how he refers to Peter as a general. :) And so true about Rottenmeier! She sadly lives up to her name. :P<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts--and for the sweet words at the beginning of your post! I'm so glad you enjoy these read-alongs; you all make them fun to host!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-57685796229069764552020-01-18T11:03:03.241-07:002020-01-18T11:03:03.241-07:00Thanks, Julie!

I remember thinking that it was a little boring the first time, but rereading it I find it absolutely charming! Funny, isn't it? I also have been picturing her like Shirley Temple from a movie version that I have seen. Can't wait for the rest of the book!Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-8813447458515263442020-01-17T08:18:17.789-07:002020-01-17T08:18:17.789-07:00Great post MC!

I too Noticed that Heidi had black hair! I always thought of her as a little blonde girl so I too found it interesting to run into the black hair description. The cover of your book is very pretty! And depicts her accurately it looks like. Looking forward to seeing what you think on the next section!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190011785450338206noreply@blogger.com
