There will definitely be art.
Claire Walker Leslie's Keeping a Nature Journal is full of sketching inspiration. Pulling that one off the shelf for sure. I think I'd like to pull Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain out, too.
~~~~~
This is one of my favorite shelves in the house. Ramona has read most of these, but I think Jane of Lantern Hill is going on the reading list for her. A read-aloud, I think. We haven't yet read the second Calpurnia Tate book! Must remedy!
~~~~~
Some Shakespeare this year, of course. Romeo and Juliet?
~~~~~
Is there any Louisa May that Ramona hasn't read yet? Maybe Rose in Bloom. Thinking I'll wait on Cather's My Antonia for a year or two, for fuller appreciation.
~~~~~
She's reading Emma with her big sister, so I'm leaving the Austen to them. I think we'll read Dickens this year, though - A Tale of Two Cities.
~~~~~
I see some Ray Bradbury here, but where is my copy of Dandelion Wine? I guess I need to check another shelf. That's definitely another read-aloud. Also adding Fruitless Fall to her list, and some of Silent Spring.
~~~~~
I see some good stuff here by Mike Aquilina and Peter Kreeft. (Is there any other kind of stuff from those two?)
~~~~~
Alan Schreck's Catholic and Christian is like a mini-catechism, and I love it. Will choose some selections for Ramona to read.
~~~~~
Oooh, I need to look more closely at some of the goodness on these shelves.
~~~~~
Clive Staples! This is Ramona's year for The Screwtape Letters.
~~~~~
Here's a small section of our poetry collection. Poetry Friday, anyone? Maybe I'll have Ramona do some of the picks this year.
~~~~~
Ah, homeschooling books.
This shelf is for me, when I need a boost.
