oks we have been reading in the past few weeks would never fit in that small space :) ! I could post it as a "note" on facebook but prefer to do it here and add pictures. Plus, this blog is a more "permanent" recording for the family.So without further ado and in no particular order:
Beautiful Girlhood and Before You Meet Prince Charming - with Emma Kate - our discussion springboard for how to become a young lady and not a "tween"
Swiss Family Robinson - read as a family
King Arthur - (Howard Pyle version) - family reading
The Lamplighter - wow - you need to read this one! Great as personal reading or as a read aloud for the family
True Stories of Great Americans for Young Americans We are reading only one or two stories a week to go along with our Social Studies. I highly recommend this book to anyone teaching American history to elementary or junior high ages. It's a reprint from previous generations when students were taught Biblical characterStorm Warning - Billy Graham - an older book but still very appropriate
Desiring God - John Piper - always a great challenge
Do the Right Thing - Mike Huckabee
In Plain Sight (Elizabeth Smart Story) this fills my "mystery" quest. I like to be reading at least one amazing true story along with everything else.
How the Spirit Filled My Life - Bertha Smith - I know, I just keep rereading it! Somehow I understand it with my head but have a hard time carrying it out in my actions so I keep rereading it.
Peep Behind the Scenes - another great book from Lamplighter and somewhat shorter than most others
Instructing a Child's Heart - by Ted Tripp - great companion book to Shepherding a Child's Heart but good to read alone as well
I think that's all for now... probably missed a few we have already finished and returned to the library. By the way, we LOVE inter-library loan option. We have been able to get some amazing books that way. Read on!!
