When I was young my mom bought me a book called "Little Women". I can't remember who he author was, but it was set in the 1800's about four sisters who work on a farm and search for love, and try to be proper and quaint. It was a very touching story. whee

I reccomend it. I'd love to see a little Sweet Lolita sitting at a bench reading it. It's the picture perfect scene. heart


It's by Louisa May Alcott, dear.

Oh, I haven't read that one, but I've heard it's good. I'm probably being dense, but who is it by?


Shes very popular, there was even a chick flick on her ^^lll, the girls name is Jane Austen ^^lll

You can just go to a book store and they will most likely know what its about.

Oh I didn't know that one was an Austen. I obviously need to catch up on my female authors.

Do you have a Netflix account? That's how I saw it. I believe that Amazon also has it.

A regular bookstore.
Barnes & Nobles should have it in stock. If they don't, they can order it for you.

Here are a few books that I read when I am in a Lolita mood:

1.Alice in Wonderland (of course!)
2.The Ordinary Princess by M.M. (A story about a princess who is given the gift of 'Ordinary' by her fairy godmother)
3.The Dark Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop (High Fantasy. In a dark magic world, a Queen is born to restore order. Not for under 15 though. Deals with alot of mature stuff)
4.The Book of Flowers (I don't know where you can get this now, but it's a Victorian book that says what each flower's hidden meaning is)
5. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, and it's sequel Rebel Angel (Fantasy in the Victorian period!)
6. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Is there anything really to say?)
7. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (It speaks for itself)
8. Kamikaze Girls (The english translation is done by Viz)


I love the book and movie...Pride and Predjudice. Jane is amazing. Her other book: Pride and Sensibality...i think? is quite good as well...i read it in 8th grade...and i have yet to pick it up again. sweatdrop

Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park and Emma are some of her better known novels. Personally, I like Persuasion best, though Emma's pretty damn funny as well.



Well Sense and Sensibility, i think, is a much more mellow book compared to Pride and Predjudice. I dont remember about P&P because i read it a few years back for my AP English Lit class ^^llll S&S is something ive read a bit more recently so i guess were both a bit hazy on the books lol

A Little Princess By Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Secret Garden By Frances Hodgson Burnett

(Honestly did not know they were by the same person until now.)


aww, I remember A Little Princess. I don't think I've read the book, but I remember watching the movie when I was about 10 or 11. That movie made me cry at some parts, and I LOVE the line, "I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he?"
