#LittleHouse

It‘s been a wonderful journey rereading the Little House Series from beginning to end. Reading with adult eyes there were some problematic moments but those should be used to teach and do better. Overall I still adore Laura and her simple stories of pioneer life with her family. There is still much to learn from her books and I hope they continue to be read by generations to come.

What‘s the first book you remember reading?

Little House on the Prairie. Remember My 4th grade teacher helping me learn to read with my dyslexia instead of shaming me and calling me stupid like others before her. I still have the 3 books she gave me too. Been addicted to reading since than.

Berries & cream and Little House books! ❤️ My mother-in-law just gifted me my husband‘s childhood box set! 😃 We love the TV series and my husband told me the books are even better. ☺️🍁🍂 Any other Little House fans here?

1. Occasionally
2. I'm not a big fan of series, but the Little House set is what got me hooked and I'm guilty of loving Outlander. I can count on one hand how many series I've read.
3. The character has a favorite sandwich.
4. Today I'm grateful that my family has not yet known covid. We have been really lucky.

“For winter was coming. The days were shorter, and frost crawled up the window panes at night. Soon the snow would come. Then the log house would be almost buried in snowdrifts, and the lake and the stream would freeze.”

Day 1 of 7: Books that have made a lasting impression on me

I actually think this is more interesting with explanation. The Little House books are some of the first chapter books I specifically remember reading, and the hard working family reminded me somewhat of my own. Through my life I‘ve read more of Laura‘s work and about her relationship with her daughter Rose. This author and her stories are some that I‘ve never forgotten.

1) I have read more than half of the Penn Cage series and would love to finish this year.

2) Little House on the Prairie was my gateway reader.

3) Hmmm Peeta from Hunger Games. Young for me, but a babe nonetheless.

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

I had this yellow box set when I was a kid and foolishly got rid of it when I was about 13. "I'm done with baby books!" I remember saying. Through the years I've always regretted it, and am happy to report that I finally got myself a replacement! There is just nothing like the books you read in childhood, amirite? #lauraingallswilder #currentlyreading

I re-listened to the “Laura Ingalls Wilder” episode of The History Chicks podcast today. Has anyone heard this podcast?

In my opinion, these books do a pretty good job of showing #adayinthelife of prairie life. #redroseseptember

Her books, and my aunt, made me a reader. ❤

For the #favoriteseries challenge on @24in48, I want to share my very old and damaged Little House on the Prairie set. While these are now pretty widely regarded as problematic and the author is much-discussed, for me, this is the series that taught me to love reading. When I was little, my dad would read these to me, until I was old enough to read them to him. They built the foundation of my reading habits, and for that, I am so grateful.

#Blue #QuotsyDec18

I re-read Little House in the Big Woods earlier this fall and fell in love with Laura Ingalls Wilder all over again.

Found nearly a complete set of the rest in vintage paperback format at a #librarysale today, so I snatched them up and ordered the two I‘m still missing from #BookOutlet

My TBR pile is ridiculously long right now, but I can‘t wait to crack these open.

1. I started with Little House in the Big Woods in 3rd grade and quickly plowed through all but the very last (it‘s hard for a 4th grader to relate to married Half-Pint!)
2. Cake!
3. Writing, knitting & making stuff from paper
4. London. Or NYC. I‘ll need an unlimited budget if anyone wants to contribute! 😉
5. 💞💗💖💓

This makes me sad. Times were different and if we ignore the past well never learn from it

I have fond memories of this series from childhood. And I‘m looking forward to reading the new biography Prairie Fires.

1. Tagged! I have loved this series since second grade.
2. Friends
3. Baseball bores me, so nope.
4. If the weather holds, we want to grill.
5. Yes. We have similar tastes. His commute used to be about 45 minutes, so he did a lot of audiobooks.
#friyayintro

1. Little House, always
2. Tintinnabulation, as a kid
3. Both. Home is more comfy, public means people don‘t bother me.
4. Both! Skiing this weekend.

Little house series by Laura Ingalls Wilder

I don‘t think I‘ve given up on a series at least not knowing there was more than one book

I force my sister to read it and then put it on my shelf if I really liked it, until spring cleaning every year and then I go through and eliminate

I do have an offline book club :) we meet at local breweries and low key bars to discuss over beer
Thanks for the weekend chat @CSeydel and @thereadingowlvina

1. Little House series—I still have my boxed set & pretty much read anything that comes out about Laura.
2. Mini Cabbage Patch Kids & dollhouse or colorforms; I‘d make up stories in my head with both.
3. Tuna macaroni casserole with crumbled potato chips on top! My dad worked shiftwork & he hated tuna casserole. We could only have it when he was on afternoons. My husband hates it too so I make it when he‘s deployed.
4. Cookies

#Riotgrams Day 9 #BelovedSeries
Way too hard to choose! Vivid memories of Dad reading us the Little House books. Nancy Drew was my 3rd grade reading life. Harry Potter was all about bonding with my oldest child. All these are beloved!

How could you not love this?

7 year old, 2nd grade me got these for Christmas in 1983, which started my love affair with all things Little House. 41 year old me still has them on my shelf. Based on the bindings, can you tell which ones were my favorites?

My #Thanksgiving misadventures in Germany. I found what I think was my first #LittleFreeLibrary (Pardon the picture. I had to take this from a moving vehicle)

So for today's prompt of #WildWednesday I thought this leather bound edition of the Little House books by Laura Ingalls WILDer would be fitting. See what I did there? 😉 #AwesomeAutumnBooks @Jess7

#sweet #junebookbugs my favourite books as a girl.

I've had an awful craving to reread this series lately and i found a complete set at an estate sale last week. So many great memories of reading these when I was a kid! I've sped through Little House in the Big Woods and Farmer Boy and I've paused to read my #gameoftomes book, which I'm unexpectedly loving. (Thanks @Rudis !) Can't wait to dive back in to the Prairie though!

These are books that were a #childhooddelight for me although these are not the copies that as I read as a child. I bought these for my daughter so that I could share my love of them with her. I had to squeeze in Anne of Green Gables on the top there too. I saw one March Madness Book Bracket pitting Anne vs. Laura Ingalls-I don't think I could root for one over the other! #aprilamazingreads

Finished them all!!!!!

Another poster reminded me of these books I read AGES ago. I was a rotten child and was grounded one summer. FROM EVERYTHING. I was quite ok with that because I read this series. I actually still have this exact set. I was supposed to be in trouble but I spent that summer in the wilderness 😉

Look what I found today!!! This is the exact set I read as a kid so of course I had to buy it

I read a wonderful article in the New York Times today:
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/books/review/little-house-laura-ingalls-wi...

Happy 150th birthday to my favorite childhood author, Laura Ingalls Wilder 🎂 #lauraingallswilder #shelfie #happy150thbirthdaylaura #littlehouse #comehometolittlehouse

I'm pretty sure these are the only books I have #multiplecopies of. If I buy a new edition of a book, I usually pass the extras on.But the set on the left was mine as a kid, and I found the second set at a yard sale for $1 (!), so I couldn't pass it up. One set stays in my room, the other is in my daughter's. #seasonsreadings2016

This was my well-loved set of Little House books when I was a kid. If you look closely, you can even see where I wrote my name when I was about 8. It now lives in my daughter's room, but I brought it out for today's prompt. #setinasmalltown #photoadaynov16

eBay has totally made my day!!!! Such vivid memories of reading these books over and over again as a child!

Books I want to revisit soon.

#FunPhotoFriday : I LOVED the Little House on the Prairie series when I was younger! (And still do today). My mom got me the complete color set, and read it out loud to me every night at bedtime. Unfortunately, I lost the fifth. :( I will treasure these forever! ❤️

Not my childhood set, but I did (re)read these ones a few summers ago. #funphotofriday @Liberty

From my page-a-day calendar. Who didn't grow up reading Laura Ingalls Wilder! 😸

Found these while helping my niece move today. I do believe it's time for a long overdue reread! ❤️
