Sometimes I pick books that my girls (8&10) don't like. Thanks and I am enjoying looking through and reading your blog!

We are on the 3rd book in the "Sarah Plain & Tall " series for our read-aloud time. Thanks to your post awhile back I found the last 2 books of the 5 in that series at our local library. My girls just love the books! We are also reading some non-fiction books about Kansas & our local county. <br /> My 9yr. old just finished reading the Nat. Geographic for kids books "Rocks & Minerals" and one about dogs,I cant' remember the exact title. I just finished reading a book titled "Next Years Country" . It was written by a woman in Northern Montana. The book is about her life growing up on a ranch & then becoming a rancher's wife. All I can say is those people are dedicated to the land & the hardest working people I know! It was very interesting. Thanks for some more great book suggestions! I always enjoy your post. :) Jenny K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-91615338608776336032015-01-14T13:11:08.616-08:002015-01-14T13:11:08.616-08:00Ditto Coreline.

I can't wait for my girls to be able to read them.<br /><br />I would also love for you to give a review of Tapestry of Grace. I have heard it can be an overwhelming curriculum, but it sounds like TOG hasn't crowded out your family's love for reading other pleasure books. I know it might be early to tell, but any initial thoughts (either good or bad) would be very helpful. Would you consider doing this in the near future? Thank you!

I really like Dannah Gresh's books too and plan to use them when my daughter is a bit older. <br /><br />We're smack-dab in the middle of reading the 2nd book in the 'Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom' series - very fun books!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830751973044675773noreply@blogger.com
