Welcome to Litsy!

OMG! This was fabulously funny! If you remember playing Oregon Trail as a kid, you‘ll find this book humorous! I‘m 4 books behind on meeting my reading goal so I picked up some shorter reads to catch up and this one did not disappoint. #humor

This books could have had so much more.

I wish there was a category between pick and so-so because I would place this title there. Enjoyed it, laughed outl loud but seriously this book could have been so much more.

Book 115 done. This was a fun, quick read.

I found this on #Hoopla and since I am running a virtual Oregon Trail race thought it would be fun to read.

The best thing about this? You can read it in 10 minutes or less. A few of the illustrations were good. Overall it was pretty disappointing. At least it was really cheap.

Very fun!

What a bummer. The best part of it is the title. I‘m continually surprised what publishers are willing to put their name to and take our money for. I guess I shouldn‘t be.

My students are taking this way too seriously.

My U.S. History starting the unit on Westward Expansion. I remembered @gibblr using The Oregon Trail when she taught this class.

My students are having a blast. The words above are a quote from one of my excited students.

Very, very short and not really focusing on "adulting". The graphics were funnier than the "advice", but didn't love either

There are some real gems like this one, but most of it is drivel. I appreciated the jaunt down memory lane, but the version of Oregon Trail I grew up with was even more bare bones than what the author describes here, so it missed the mark for me as pure nostalgia. Borrow a copy and take five minutes to read, but maybe save your $ for food or oxen. 😉

She played this on a turquoise iMac. Bitch...I played this game on an Apple II-e. I bet her game was even in color, not just green on black. 🤣🤣 Yep, I am old AF.

I‘m feeling a little better this afternoon, but Bailey is still having issues. So we are snuggling on the couch with special blankets and books for Jolabokaflod (Mom and I waited until after lunch but were not waiting until after dark 😂). I thought you might get a kick out of “The Look” I got from #Bailey. #meanmommy #dogsoflitsy #pitbullsoflitsy Happy Holidays, everyone and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

I expected this book to be essays about life that related back to The Oregon Trail game. Instead, they are illustrations (the best part) with short captions which, by and large, are not funny but are clearly trying to be. This one didn‘t work for me.

Well, that was quick. I guess I don‘t get today‘s humor. I knew this would be a tongue in cheek look at The Oregon Trail game, which I remembered from school. But, I didn‘t laugh. I didn‘t even guffaw. The five minute read only produced a meh. Off to my next book... #24B4Monday

Current mood....

if you grew up playing The Oregon Trail, this is a must-read! Quick, and witty lessons in adulting!

Anyone else read this one? Or remember this in grade school?

This speaks to my late 80‘s/early 90‘s childhood. #oregontrailgeneration

Appropriately enough, this one comes out around @gibblr ‘s birthday!
