Thanks for your interest, Selene! The books you’ve blogged about recently look really interesting, too! I look forward to reading more
Great list! I love finding another classics blogger. I just read the Little House series in 2010 for the first time. An awesome memory.
I read them all as a young girl. Now they are sitting on my shelf waiting to be read again! Found a discounted set of the first five books the other day and had to get it. Can’t wait to return to the prairie
