What Are You Reading?

So, I recently posted on Facebook that I had book hangover and couldn't decide what to read next. After finishing Far From the Madding Crowd, which I loved dearly, I was in a dither. I picked up The One in a Million Boy by Monica Wood over the weekend, but in the meantime, ideas were piling up on the FB post, so I decided to share them here.

I didn't clean up the list -- just grabbed everything that was mentioned, so these are in order of comments. If you'd like to add anything on FB, go here. If you just need to head to Amazon and start clicking, well, we all understand.

Book Lists: A Pile of Notes from Over the Years



Book lists are everywhere. I don't need to provide you with a specific list of what you should read, because our favorites might not be your favorites. But I can give you a list of lists, compiled, referred to, and loved over the last fifteen years of homeschooling:

Emmanuel Books catalog

Melissa Wiley's Book Recommendations

Melissa Wiley's Booklist List

Mother of Divine Grace curriculum lists

Catholic Heritage Curricula catalog

Simply Charlotte Mason Read Aloud List

A Charlotte Mason Home booklist by grade level

Maureen Wittmann's For the Love of Literature Book List (and the Kindle book.)

Homeschool Connections List of Living Math Books

Treasure Chest for Tweens (a review site of a variety of books)

Sonlight catalog (download the pdf to take a look at the title index)

Not a free resource, but a great one: Jim Trelease's The Read-Aloud Handbook.

(And, ETA, thanks, Liz in the comments: Honey for a Child's Heart. Great reading lists in that one, too. Can't believe I'd forgotten to include it.)

I know there are more ... now where did I leave that other pile of lists?
