What a list! Thanks for taking the time to do all this. :) Could you please send me a copy when you get it all formatted to your liking? I regularly pillage the AO lists for extra reading for my bookworm. Knowing where to look for certain times/people/topics would be very helpful.

I actually had a finalized list with more stuff in it and lost it when my dd almost 2 spilled coffee on my brothers MAC. :(

 

I will try to redo it so we can post it here and I will send it to mamas who have asked. :)

Wow, AngelBee! That must have been some work! I've been compiling a huge list based on AO, LCC, and some Robinson/A2 resources ... but as of now it's not in any sort of chronological order. I won't need to use it for a couple of years, so always put it off!

 

Definitely bookmarking this to help me out when I get the urge and organize mine!

Can you add me to your list too! This is awesome! I always get so bogged down with AO's lists because I don't know what some of the books are and how I can use them in a 4 yr rotation!

 

Even with just this, I'm seeing stuff I can add in now (we are 1/2 way through Yr 1 / Ancients).
