opposite ends of the spectrum
on one hand you have a classic.
and i have to admit that i have never read.
on the other hand, you have contemporary chick lit that no one will be reading in five years.
conclusion: both have merit.
little house was delightful, simple, and sweet.
i loved how yummy cornbread was and how adoring laura was to her father. i loved how hard they worked as a family for food, shelter, friends. amazing. i loved reading about the "wild west." how loved how much charles ingalls had integrity. i remember growing up with the show and reading it makes it so much richer. i can't wait to keep reading the rest of the series.... it is my summer project. because they are so quick and fast though, i hate counting each book as an independent book when i go to tally how many books i read this year... huh? thoughts?
confessions: someone said that this book was like a commercial break. i have to admit that after the couple of months that we have had this was a bit refreshing and just borderline annoying. her consumerism was slightly nauseating and annoying but just when i was about to throw the book away (whoops - its from the library; can't do that), it redeemed itself. it will most likely make a delightful movie that i would never admit to my husband that i watched when he was out of town.... and i am curious to see how they "americanize" the british novel. totally brain candy for sure.... but i enjoyed the quick read.
happy reading!

Little house is just the best. My favorite growing up was On the Banks Of Plum Creek, but as an adult I was amazed by The Long Winter with the amount of fortitude the Ingalls and most pioneers had. You will enjoy it this summer! xo
