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!

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!

Welcome back to the board and congratulations to your son! Glad you are joining in! What are you studying?
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. 🙂

This is a great time to join BaW! I joined when my kids went off to college - I never would have had the time to read all this when I was still homeschooling (and huge props to those who do manage it...) this has been a great way to keep my brain engaged and also keep in touch with this wonderful community.
If you join in, you will never have to worry about figuring out what to read. That used to be a big problem for me, as I don't tend toward the 'popular' books. Now my to-read list is over 1600 books...
Goodreads is a great way to keep track of all that... before I'd make lists and lose them....
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!

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! :)

This wiki recommend came in today- it is not literature based, but does have a decent breakdown of 22 periods in Human Geography.
Some of this is heavily detailed and may spark something for you.
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 also recommend the World Literature book. This is the book the Scholars Online uses for their world lit course. I have the book and am willing to part with it for the cost of shipping.
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!

I have been reading and keeping up, but forgetting to post!
I am reading The Westing Game right now b/c I may be teaching it in a homeschool class soon. I also have going My Life in France by Julia Child.
-
A friend loaned me a Ted Dekker book recently! I think I will make that my book for the week. It is my too be read pile, but unfortunately I can think of the name right now.
-
Still working through Great Expectations! I got side-tracked by a couple of other books this past week. :)
-
Ended up reading two "fluff" books this week rather than what I had scheduled.
Going back to my pick for last week so Great Expectations and Good Ole Boy
-
I will be reading Great Expectations by Dickens this week!
-
I am so excited that the challenge has begun!
I plan to start reading Sunday's at Tiffanys by James Patterson.
Happy Reading!

I decide as I go. My moods change as to the type of books I feel like reading & the amount of time I have varies too. I always keep a running list of books I'd like to read, though, & will refer to that if I don't have something on hand that I want to read....
Through paperbackswap this year, I've accumulated quite a few books. I may make it my goal to read at least 75% of the books on my shelf before I get to go check out more from the library. :tongue_smilie::lol:
I've started a list of what I'd like to read. Everytime I see a recommendation here or get one from family/friends I add it to the list. I add all different genres so I can always find something that fits my mood:)Great Ideas! Thanks for sharing! I think I will do a bit of both! :)
-
I am curious...do most of you create your list of 52 books ahead of time or just decide as you go? What do you find most helpful?
Thanks so much! Can't wait for Jan. 1!
-
I'm fairly new around here, but I would love to join you all! Sounds exciting!
-
Yes! Thank you so, so much!
My dvd arrives tomorrow so this will be such a big help!
Goodreads is a great way to keep track of all that... before I'd make lists and lose them....
