I'm on a roll! I'll never be too old for these books.

The best yet. True hardships including starvation and enduring a brutal winter.

My edition of this book is old and doesn't have a barcode, so it escaped the scanning process. This was the first Little House book I read and it will always be my favorite.

Also, where did those god-awful new covers come from? Wow.

The Ingalls family must rely on themselves and fellow neighbors to survive a terrible winter.

Goodreads thinks I'm reading this for the second time. Try 32nd. Or 42nd. This is my favorite of the Little House books. Usually I re-read the whole series in order, but this time I'm just letting myself enjoy The Long Winter all on its own.

Reading about the trials the pioneers went through is always so eye opening. Yet seeing how they still found ways to be joyful in the trying times was so inspiring. I love Laura’s character and the way her family are so close.
