I‘ve been shamefully avoiding all book club reads since I got back from my summer travels and reading all the little books I picked up in various Laura Ingalls Wilder museums instead.
This has now lead me to rereading the entire series in order, which I don‘t think I‘ve done since my tween years. 😆😆
Tamra 😍 I loved them as a young girl. My grandmother (teacher from SD) supplied me with the whole set one by one. Great memories! 5mo
jlhammar Fun! I‘m going to have to treat myself to a reread of the series one of these years. I still have my old, well-loved copies (look like yours). Did you read this biography yet? I thought it was excellent![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

LeahBergen @sarahbarnes I‘m thoroughly enjoying myself (but Little House on the Prairie is a bit problematic now 😬). 5mo

MaureenMc 😍😍😍Which Wilder museums did you visit? (edited) 5mo
LeahBergen De Smet (Little Town on the Prairie, The Long Winter, etc), Walnut Grove (On the Banks of Plum Creek), Pepin (Little House in the Big Woods), and I whirled through Burr Oak (the place they lived before By the Shores of Silver Lake). My husband and dog were pretty much done. 🤣 @MaureenMc 5mo
Cathythoughts That‘s so lovely 🥰 5mo
MaureenMc @LeahBergen Ooh, that sounds like a great itinerary for my 12 yo and me! 😁 5mo
