Books I Love/LITTLE HOUSE IN THE BIG WOODS
My Grandma Kate gave me Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder as a Christmas gift when I was ten years old.
I know I’ve read that same copy at least five times, probably more. I love the way Mrs. Wilder uses words to paint pictures of her childhood, and I particularly love the Christmas chapter when Laura receives her beloved Charlotte – a rag doll made for her by her mother.
Do you have a favorite book that you read over and over again?
Blessings and Merry Christmas!

I loved the movie Gone With The Wind and finally read the book last year, but I have never read the Little House books, although I have them here and on my very long to-read list.
As a child I read Alice in Wonderland more than once, and also The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. When our youngest daughter was in elementary school I purchased the whole Narnia set and read each book to her. What a fabulously enjoyable time that was!
I have Gone With The Wind on my to-read stack. I haven’t read it since I was pregnant with Neil Jr. (Wow, long time ago!) But this fall I read a book ABOUT Gone with The Wind and about the author and the commotion of getting the book published. Very interesting. So I want to read the novel again, too!
The only 2 books I have read over & over are “Rebecca” by Daphne du Maurier and “Gone with the Wind”. Sometimes just hearing the words “Last night I dreamt I was at Manderly again” on a game show or trivia question of ‘first lines of books’ put me right back into the story and I go get Rebecca and read it again.
I need to read some of her books, Nicole. I love to receive book recommendations!
I have read many of Anne McCaffrey’s novels multiple times. Restoree is an all-time favorite. Ride the Wind by Lucia St. Clair Robson is another. Lately it’s been the Berenstain Bears!
