Book Lists

I'm a sucker for a good book list. I keep a running list of books I want to read and another list of books I read each year. There are so many book lists out there for kids and the list-checker in me wants to do them all. And we do read out-loud an awful lot! But my two favorite resources are Books Children Love by Elizabeth Wilson and Honey for a Child's Heart by Gladys Hunt. My mom used the first editions of these books when she was homeschooling my brother and me, and they've just gotten better with time. There's too much fluff out there and not enough time to waste on that--read real, living books that actually interest you and your kids!
