📚🚶 The December Webcast
A rambling discussion about rereading Little Women + GUESS THE BOOKS!
Dear walking book clubbers,
I am really looking forward to sharing our experiences of reading - or rereading - Little Women later this week. We will also be doing a SEASONAL BOOK SWAP! Full details below - a wonderful chance to share a book you love, and to come away with something to put under the tree. More details below…
Keep on reading to find this month’s webcast about the book, and keep on scrolling to find my GUESS THE BOOKS photo for our first books of 2025 - all to be revealed next week.
Oh, and in case you missed it, you can find my introduction to the book, including discussion points and links to explore it further here. Thanks for the compliments on the matching dress!
Our December Little Women events
Things to note about our December events:
Children who have read the book are welcome to attend (suggested age 9+), please just drop me an email to let me know beforehand.
“Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents…” Well, I can’t disagree with Jo March, so please pick a book from your own shelves, wrap it up and bring it along to swap with another member in our Emily’s Walking Book Club literary Secret Santa. Feel free to inscribe the book, enclose a note, or leave it blank. I’ll bring a few extra, so everyone will leave with a book.
Finally, as ever, for the benefit of your fellow walkers, you need to have read the book before coming along to a walking book club. If you’ve not read the book, you are very welcome to join the zoom instead.
Speaking of Christmas presents…

The December Webcast
I hope you enjoy a chat on my sofa about Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Discover how a cup of tea, an extra jumper, a coat of lipstick and a natter about a book can be extremely cheering!
If you like the webcast, I’d be grateful if you could like or comment on it over on YouTube so the algorithm knows we matter and more people can discover our books and book club. In case you’d like to see more of these little videos, you can find them about all our books from the past few years on my YouTube channel: @emilyrhodeswriter.
Guess the books … and January dates
I’m so excited to begin 2025 reading these four amazing books with you. Can you guess what they are???
And for those whose start of the year is already getting booked up, these are the dates to note:
Friday 17th (Regent’s Park), Sunday 19th (Hampstead Heath), Monday 20th (Zoom).
Happy guessing,
Emily
Well, one is a Persephone book but I don't know which one. I'm looking forward to the reveal.
