Summer Reading Challenge

My on-line friend, De'Etta, is hosting a Summer Reading Challenge over at her blog. It's a fun way to get some of those books read that I have had stacked up forever & to participate in a fun challenge as well. While I love to read & I do every day, it's fun to share lists & to see what others like to read. Click here for the official rules: Choosing Joy

    We have also been reading Little House books this year and just finished the Nate Saint book. I ended up with a study guide for that one so we can do extra activities with it. I am contemplating whether to add my read alouds to my list. I might do so as we have been reading some interesting books.

    P.S. Oh and I just reserved your two history read alouds. They will be a perfect tie in to our recent studies. Thanks for the ideas!

    Oooh, I think I read all of the Cadfael Mysteries. The historical detail is really good. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. She's an excellent writer. I must go and visit Shrewsbury one day!

    Looks like an awesome bunch of books! I wish I could commit to reading specific books ahead of time, but it just wouldn't work for me!

Oh thank goodness! I'm not here all alone. Thanks for leaving me a comment. It helps that I'm not always talking to myself. Right? Hello?
