My boys are in Core D now. I like the look of the EHE explorer for Core F. I tend to not follow the SL schedule and like the book notes by book, not integrated in day by day like they are going to be in the new IGs. I also don't use SL LA.

My thought is to buy two EHEs for my boys, buy a used IG for the book notes, and then make my own schedule incorporating the new books and taking out the old books that were duds.

The only problem is then I'll probably want the EHE for my girls (they are only 4 and 2) and I can't see buying two EHE that far ahead of time!

Are these the 24 books taken out of the core? I can't believe I'm considering buying a core 4 years in advance.

 

No, actually. The books I remember there being discussion about included Seven Daughters, Seven Sons (for some gentle attraction to the opposite sex); Daughter of the Mountains (Nepal & India); and Shadow Spinner (which is a retelling of Arabian Nights that includes brief references to Islamic practices for prayer).

Also, Core 100 will no longer have the option to be bought without the Hakim books.

 

I don't think that is true. BUT hey I have no real idea.

 

Sometimes they offer different things via the web than they list in the catalog.

 

I think they will still offer NEM but I'm not sure it is in the catalog
