Tonight, we’ll read the first chapter to “Good Wives” written by Louisa May Alcott. This is also known as the second half of the “Little Women” novel. Originally, Alcott had it published as a second book but in later publishings the two were combined. This book picks up three years later as Meg is preparing for her wedding.

As always, Snoozecast episodes on Fridays are on a rotation of four current books. When one finishes, we will replace it with something new. This way you can be assured that any series on Fridays will always come out at least once a month.

Another detail about Snoozecast is that we have many different series available separately from our primary Snoozecast show. If we are still adding new episodes to a series, it is fully available for anyone to listen to. Once a series is completed, it will eventually be made only fully available to our Snoozecast+ listeners. To find a list of current series available for free, and which ones are only fully available to our premium subscribers, go to snoozecast.com/plus.

Because “Good Wives” is a continuation of “Little Women”, we have decided to make the “Snoozecast Presents: Little Women” standalone series available to the public again as well, so that you can refresh your memory or start from the very beginning if you’d like.
