Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder (to my three 5th graders)
Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne (to my four 9th graders)
Dear America: Hear My Sorrow by Deborah Hopkinson (to a mixed group of four)
And then there is the actual history text itself, which I read aloud from almost daily, and all of the picture books, poems, and articles that supplement our homeschool studies. When I get some time for myself at the end of the day, I'm just more likely to turn to a quick game of Scrabble on the iPod. I'm not whining; I love it all. I just realized that that is probably why I've read so very little for myself these last months.
However, I did just read one little, new book for myself. I will post it here soon. You might be able to guess the very topic that got me to carve out a little extra time. . .

And if we guess correctly, Christine, is there a prize?
I recuse myself.
Too easy.
Mary, you already win the prize for most loyal review poster here!
Don knows the book. We only have one copy at B&N. It is brand new, quite slim, and has a black and red cover. I got my copy from the library.
