Spring reading thing (it's a challenge!)

The Spring Reading thing 2007 is up at
Callapidder days!

My list for my spring reading challenge:

Real Learning: Education in the heart of the home by Elizabeth Foss -(just started it, not even 1/4 of the way through yet)

Life Study of Romans by Witness Lee (from last list...it usually takes me a year to get through one of these)
The original home education series vol. 1 by Charlotte Mason (I've been jumping around thru these off and on, going to commit to reading thru these one at a time, in order)
The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
Orbit by John Nance
The Novelist by Angela Hunt
Miss Julia speaks her mind by Anne Ross

Read aloud with Josie

Little House in the Highlands by Melissa Wiley (look for the unabridged version)

Read aloud with Josie and Meg

Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter -one of my all time favorites! so excited to finally share it with my kids!!

Read aloud with all 4 children

50 famous stories re-told by James Baldwin
How is was with Dooms by Xan Hopcraft

Burgess Bird book

this is not counting lots of library picture book reading we do together, or the sonlight selections we do. These are just special projects I would like to commit to getting through.

I can't wait to see everyone else's lists, go on over to Katrina's to find more reading inspiration.

At 11:45 AM, Deena Peterson said...: The Novelist is great, and I'm curious about the Miss Julia series...looking forward to reading what you think!
At 1:12 PM, Katie said...: I haven't read the entire six volume Charlotte Mason series either, but have used them as a reference. We are definitely a CM homeschool!
At 3:55 PM, Susanne said...: Great list Jenny! I can definitely see where you heart is! I did the Novelist for the Fall Reading Challenge.
At 8:06 PM, Mrs. Darling said...: You have a very ambitious list! Mercy! I just finshed reading The Debt by Anngela Hunt. I thought Id like it but I didnt much. I really like her book Shadow Women but these others just seem a little shallow. You'll have to tell us how you liked her book. I had The Awakening checked out from the library but took it back without reading it.

I cant imagine reading through all 6 volumes of CM. You'll have to tell me about those too. I love CM but I dont think I"ll ever read all her books.I'll let you do that for me! LOL
At 8:14 PM, Hen Jen said...: Mrs. Darling, I'm only attempting to do vol. 1 of Charlotte Mason's series!! I don't think I could do all 6 very quickly!

I'll let you know how the Novelist is, I saw it on someone's fall list and thought I'd try it. I am a much faster fiction reader than non-fiction.

At 7:55 PM, At A Hen's Pace said...: Looks like a good list!

I never know what I'm going to read next...whatever jumps off my shelf or drops into my lap!

I have seen Laddie recommended several times in the blogosphere. I need to read it to my daughter sometime.
At 4:38 PM, Joyful Days said...: I am going to have to write down your list, there are so many books that look good on it.

Happy reading!
At 9:10 PM, Lex said...: What a great list. I haven't read any Angela Hunt, but I just might try! Happy reading!
At 5:31 AM, Anonymous said...: I have the Novelist on my shelf. Can't wait for your review.

I have only read one of the volume of Charlotte Mason. It takes me a while because it is so intense for me, I have to digest the material. Her thoughts are so poignant!
