These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder

On the other hand, I’m happy I discovered it as an adult so I could more fully appreciate the history and the deeper themes being presented.

On one hand, I almost wish I had discovered it when I was younger so I could have enjoyed it sooner. I think I’m just going to call “These Happy Golden Years” the end. Maybe someday I’ll take a look, but honestly, I feel like I already read it, figuratively speaking, and I’m just wanting to leave things on a happy note instead of being made kind of sad. Having researched it and read a synopsis as well as the actual historical account of Laura and Almanzo’s married life, I guess I just feel like the fact that I already know what happens, plus the fact that it’s a bit of a downer (in spite of still having a hopeful note to it), plus the fact that it’s less polished and questionable as to whether Laura Ingalls Wilder actually intended it to be published at all (the thing I read said she abandoned it) all works together to make me not really that interested in it. I am truly content with this being the end of the series, which is why I currently have no intention of reading the last book, “The First Four Years”. I shed a tear of happiness at Laura and Almanzo’s wedding, especially when Pa played all the old songs on his fiddle, and everything else, and just… gah! <3 It made me so happy. The familial love and support of the Ingalls family for each other was especially wonderful. :p) It had all the things I’ve loved about this series: The Ingalls family, the setting, seeing how things were during that historical time period, Almanzo, and a very sweet, innocent romance. I’ll list the reasons why I’m skipping it, momentarily. (Yes, I know there’s technically another one.
