Going to try and keep the list short and sweet. To sum it up, I'd say this year my personal reading wasn't spectacular. Reading over this list, it's obvious that I was just working through certain books because people gave them to us, or I got them for basically free at the library. Lots of non-fiction, which is all well and good, but I'm going to try and work in more fiction this year. We did however read some fantastic stuff with the kids.
Personal Reading:
*Call the Midwife- Jennifer Worth
*Emma- Jane Austen
*It's just my nature- Carol Tuttle
*Live your life for half the price- Lyle and Tracy Shamo
*My Beloved Sisters- Spencer W. Kimball
*The Gentle Touch- Ardeth Greene Kapp
*The Idiot's Guide to Gut Health
*Letters to a Young Farmer- Gene Lodgson
*Teaching From Rest:A Homeschoolers Guide to Unshakable Peace- Sarah Mackenzie
*Cut your Grocery Bill in Half- Steve and Annette Economides
*How to Grow More Vegetables- Forgot the name
*How to get your Child to Practice without Resorting to Violence- Cynthia Richards
*Edenbrooke- Julianne Donaldson
With the Kids:
*Swiss Family Robinson- Johann Wyss (Richie read)
*Knights Castle- Edward Eager (Rach Read, supplement to history curriculum)
*Jungle Book- Rudyard Kipling (Richie read)
*The Big Wave- Pearl S. Buck (Rach read, supplement to science curriculum)
*Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: J.K. Rowling (Listened to on CD)
*The Little Prince- Antione De Saint-Exupery (Listened to on CD)
*Sing a Song of Popcorn: Every Child's Book of Poems (Rach read)
*Marvelous Land of Oz- Frank L. Baum (Listened to on CD. It's crazy)
*Peter Pan- J.M. Barrie (Rach read, simplified version)
*It's Raining Pigs and Noodles- Jack Prelutsky (Rach read. Fun poetry)
*The Legend of Sleepy Hollow- Washington Irving (Read as a family. SO great! Language was over the kid's heads, but so well written and funny!)
*Pocahontas: American Hero (Rach Read, supplement to history curriculum)
**We also listened to about a billion Magic Tree House books in the car, and read books 1-8 of the Herb Fairy Books Grandma Garner gave us.
Looking forward to another great year of reading!
