“By making me a bitch, you have freed me from the trite, sexist, bourgeois prison of ‘likability.’ Any idiot can be liked. It takes talent to scare the crap out of people.’

Confessions of a Prairie Bitch by Alison Arngrim

June 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 23/30 This was great. I’m not normally a fan of celebrity memoirs, because in my experience the books are often being written just because the celebrity wants to write a book, and there’s no literary reason for the book to exist. I don’t mean that in a snobby way, but more in the way that said celebrities just don’t have anything to say, or they think they have something to say but they are often wrong. Alison Arngrim […]

A single story told as though it’s the only one

Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls WIlder

July 26, 2019 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

For those of you who missed reading this American children’s classic in your own youth, as I did, Little House on the Prairie is the second (or third, depending on whether you count Farmer Boy, apparently) in Ingalls’ multi-volume Little House set, after Little House in the Big Woods.  It was my first foray in Ingalls’ works, and I don’t think I missed anything by starting out of order.  The book kicks off with Pa Ingalls yearning for a place with less people (the Big […]

Life Doesn’t Make Narrative Sense

The Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder

March 4, 2018 by Ellesfena 8 Comments

I cannot review the Little House books without talking about this: these books are racist. I hope that teachers or parents who are introducing these books to children for the first time are having serious discussions with these kids about racism and colonialism, and how these attitudes influenced westward expansion. As I was rereading these books (which, by the way, I loved as a kid and reread many times), I couldn’t stop thinking about the word “pioneer,” which in this case is just a euphemism […]

The Real World: Little House on the Prairie

Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography by Laura Ingalls Wilder

February 8, 2015 by ElCicco 7 Comments

I think I read all of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” books when I was a kid and I watched the TV show for at least a few years when it ran. While I enjoyed the novels and the TV show, I don’t remember re-reading or re-watching them, so I am what you might call a casual fan as opposed to a fanatic. Still, when I read last summer that the “true story” of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s life — in her own words — was […]

  • Kit Moonstar on Yell if I can help dig some graves once you’re finished.Second that this is a fantastic read and the perfect sort of enemies to lovers romance. I could easily devour an entire novel about these...

  • Emmalita on It’s magic, you know, never believe it’s not so!This looks like so much fun.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.Thanks! And yes, this is not a Malin book. It's very very good but I think your parental instincts would give you some trouble.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.I still love that book! This one is just as well written but different aims, I think.
