These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Okay, officially, this is my favorite book in the season. It has so many excellent components! Fashion, I cannot get enough of the dress descriptions. I am dying to make a replica dress from this book - it would be amazing. And perhaps amazingly dorky. But whatever. There is romance, it is 100% totally awesomely romantic that Alamanzo would go pick Laura up every weekend from the horrible house she stays at while teaching school. He is like a knight in shining buffalo robes. There is sadness, when Mary goes to college and they buy an organ with Laura's hard earned money and Mary doesn't come home for the summer. There are social events, and a Christmas tree and more romance and more dresses and everthing good and exciting about this series. Definitely the best of them all!
