Little House Set | Laura Ingalls Wilder

#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.

Little House Set | Laura Ingalls Wilder

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.

Ruthiella Laura Ingalls Wilder was what made me a bookish person too. I never looked back. 2y
Bklover I loved these books too! 2y
Sparklemn I loved them, too, and remember my birthday when I received On The Banks of Plum Creek. One of my best birthday memories!

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.

Bklover @mandarchy Every time I even think about Harriet the Spy I want a tomato sandwich and an egg cream! (Finally had an egg cream several years ago and it was wonderful). 3y
Bklover @mandarchy And how about Heidi and her grilled goat cheese and bread sandwiches that Grandfather made her? 3y
mandarchy @jenniferw88 & @Bklover good ones! I don't even know what an egg cream is. Is it like an eggnog without the seasoning? 3y
Bklover @mandarchy It‘s a combination of carbonated water, syrup, and milk. I‘ve only had chocolate. No cream and no eggs. Go figure. 3y
mandarchy @Bklover Oh that's like on Laverne and Shirley when Laverne would drink Milk and Pepsi. I actually ordered a Pepsi with a little ice cream in it for a treat the other day. And I wonder why I can't lose weight... 3y

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.

tpixie @Daisey my paperback version of Farmer‘s Boy fell into a drainage ditch when I was walking home from school. Ronnie Roth 😊 a friend who was walking with me, umped in and rescued it. It was an awful wet mess and looked ridiculous once it dried- like a big fan- but I kept it because of Ronnie rescuing it! Lol 😂 5y

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

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.

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.

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

Mshookquilts Longest series- oh so many, but probably Sue Grafton‘s Kinsey Milhone alphabet series placed in Santa Theresa, but based on Santa Barbara. So fun to try to figure out where she‘s really talking about. 7y

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.

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

mcipher I say Anne over Laura, personally. I live both but Anne edges her our slightly. 😉 8y

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
