Thank you SO much for the suggestions! Definitely adding to my list! 🙂 I appreciate you sharing!

Didn't think to add in my previous post, my Nobel Prize Winners category is totally new for me. Would love to hear what your favorite Nobel Prize winning reads have been so I can add some to my list! Thank you much! Paige

So I finally narrowed down my ten categories based on some given and on some I had wanted to do before joining up so hope that's okay. Looking forward to the challenges this year as well! First book up is a new to me author, Sarah McCoy who wrote Marilla of Green Gables. Grew up loving the Anne series so thought I'd check this book out and see the author's take on it. Happy Reading Everyone! Great American Road Trip (American Classics) Brit Tripping (British Classics) Around the World (World Classics) It's All About Me (Biographies) Nothing But The Truth (Non-Fiction) Nobel Prizer Winners It's A Mystery To Me (Mysteries) Something New (New Authors To Me) How Did I Miss These? (High School Reads I Never Read/Finished) Spiritual Growth

Thank you so much, Robin! I am excited to be here to read, and it's exciting to have him graduated, working, and doing well! I am actually getting a masters degree in seminary in Family Ministry and Discipleship - Now that my son is graduated I have become a full time children's director at our church. 🙂 My background, however, was Elementary Education, but I always used that degree on my son. 🙂

Thanks so much! And I totally agree with you - I couldn't have done this like I want while homeschooling! Can't wait to add to my reading list! 🙂

Hi Everyone! Just joined the boards - well, actually I just re-signed up and returned to the boards! Have always loved these forums. I homeschooled our son from K - 12th and a year ago he graduated college. I've decided to jump in and catch up on some much needed reading! So I'm looking forward to being a part and reading my 52 books this year. (Hoping I can manage the full 52 being in school again myself. LOL) Now to figure out what I'm going to read! Thanks for having me! Paige

Wow! I can't believe how many people have already posted! I feel so behind! LOL! I am working through several books right now: Waiting For Superman Don't Waste Your Life North by Northanger Should be a good reading week!

I am in again! I haven't posted since the beginning, but I have definitely be reading! Have to finish up a couple of books and then I will have my 52! Yeah! So excited and looking forward to joining again! Will try to post more too! :)

Thank you! I know you said you had posted some questions about this as well so I hope this thread is benefitting you too! :)

I may be in touch soon! Thank you!

Sorry to be so long in getting back to my thread! We are doing some painting in the house. LOL! Thank you all so, so much for the recommendations! I am feeling much better about things with all the ideas you have shared. I will definitely look into the books you have all recommended. :) Blessings!

I am hoping someone here might be able to help me out b/c I am completely frustrated. My 10th grader and I are suppose to be doing World Literature this year. I have been able to piece meal some stuff together, but am not totally happy with what I have. I have looked everywhere for the type of textbook/study I am wanting and cannot find it or rather it is out of date. I am wanting a world literature approach that actually teaches literature from around the world. Everything I see seems to focus primarily on British lit! Argh! I want to start with the Bible, then move to Egypt, then Greece, then Rome etc. All that to say, I have a wonderful reading list of books so that is not my problem. Having some teacher notes to explain, discuss and help me to pull things out of the literature is the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just wanted to thank you both for also chiming in! I appreciate the information more than you know! :)

Thank you so much! Good information to draw on! I appreciate you sharing!

We just recently picked up a copy of Thompson's Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments. I was curious if anyone had any sort of schedule or syllabus that lined it up with the Apologia Chemistry textbook. Hoping to use them together this fall! Thanks so much!
