I am very pleased with what I accomplished in my literary life this past summer, thanks to intentional reading. A few books were added here and there; a few books didn't make the 'finished' list, but that's okay. The point is, a deliberate choice was made in my life: reading is important!
For ChocLit Guild:
Little Pilgrim's Progress~finished
Down the Garden Path~finished
The Richest Man in Babylon~finished
(added later) Uncle Tom's Cabin~finished
Just For Me:
Much Ado About Nothing, Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare~finished and enjoyed the live performance; the original play is on my autumn reading list
Cultural Literacy~finished
The Closing of the American Mind~didn't get to, due to adding Uncle Tom's Cabin to my list; will push it forward to my autumn list
North and South~still didn't get around to finishing it; maybe I'll enjoy the second half during a rainy week in the next few months
Anne of Green Gables~currently enjoying
Daily:
I wasn't as consistent with my daily selections as I would have liked...
A Tale of Two Cities~behind schedule, but plugging away
A Year with C.S. Lewis~also behind schedule, but plugging away
Lord Bless My Child~didn't get to this very often, it needs to be higher on the priority list!
Bible~not often enough, needs to be highest on the priority list!
Reading Aloud With Levi:
A Pioneer Sampler~we've been enjoying this one here and there, along with the projects, and will finish it this fall
Pioneer Girl~finished
Little House in the Big Woods~finished
The Borrowers~finished
(added later) The Penderwicks~finished
The Moffats~currently enjoying
I will post my intentional reading list for the autumn season soon. Please consider joining me! I would love to post links to other lists. If you're interested, leave me a comment with a link to your reading list post.
Neat idea! If I could at least discipline myself to record our readings on Homeschool Tracker first, then joining you would be a lot simplier. (smile) And yes, I intend to!
