I’m a bit ashamed to realize that I’ve only read 23, and of those, I can only describe 18 plots. Any guesses as to which ones I DON’T remember?<\/p>\n

I also don’t know what’s up with On the Banks of Plum Creek<\/i> making the list when Little Town on the Prairie<\/i> doesn’t. Little Town<\/i> is clearly the best written of the whole series.<\/p>\n

Anywho, thanks for playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
