IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Beginning April 1, The Townhouse Pioneer will be hosting a Little House on the Prairie book club. I’m ridiculously excited about this and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we already own half the series.
I decided to do this based on the amazing response to Monday’s post. I got the idea in the shower (where all good ideas happen), posted a question on the Facebook page and on Twitter (if you’re not following along over there, you should. There’s lots more good stuff like that), and got about a dozen positive responses, and we’re up and running.
Which is excellent.
But you’re probably wondering how it’s going to work. This is how.
At the beginning of the month, we’ll start reading one of the Little House on the Prairie books (my plan is to read them in order). Then, at the end of the month, any blogger who’s read the book will (if she/he wants) write a post. I’ll host a linkup on the last day of the month for all the posts. We’ll also have a discussion on Facebook so those who don’t have blogs can participate in the fun.
So, for our inaugural book, we’re reading Little House in the Big Woods. Posts discussing the book should go live the week of April 27, with a linkup on the 30th. I’ll try to design a fun little button, too.
That’s it. There’s no pressure to join or participate. Just because all the cool kids are doing it doesn’t mean you have to. But in all sincerity, I hope you do follow along. It’ll be fun!

Oh fun! I am requesting the book from the library now. I’m not sure if my son is old enough to sit through me reading it to him yet, but I may try. =)

I LOVE this!! I can’t wait. I have a very bad feeling that my husband got rid of my Little House books (I had the box set) but regardless, I’m in!

This sounds like fun. I think I’ll have my daughter join and maybe write a blog post or two from her view point.

What a great idea! I’d love to join in, it’s been such a long time since I read the books. Do we sign up for email notification or do we just follow your blog for info?

Just follow the blog and Facebook! I haven’t started the newsletter yet but maybe I should…
This sounds great! Can I join in?
Of course! Everyone is welcome!
GREAT! 🙂 Thanks!

I am super excited about this! My daughter and I have been talking about reading the series together. I can’t wait!

I’ve read the book. I may take time to re-read it before the month is over. I’ve got two boys, and they’re not the least bit interested in reading it, but that’s OK. It can be my thing. 🙂

My daughter loves the books but I’m pretty sure if I had a son her age, he probably wouldn’t. But it’s totally fine for it to be just for you. We all need something just for us!
What a great idea! I’m in! I’ve had several “Little House” related blog posts bouncing around for a long time – this sounds like a great opportunity to re-read a childhood favorite series and finally get these ideas to paper. Thanks for hosting! 🙂
