This time around and with the season of life we're in, I'm posting more of a wish list than to-do list.
We started homeschooling 6 weeks ago and are still easing into the lifestyle. I've had a few new interests lately (particularly the British history of the monarchy) plus books I've had in queue for over a year. I'm prioritizing some of the ones I'm most looking forward to. Plus, out here in the middle of nowhere in our new environs makes getting books from our local little library a bit more challenging.
So, I'm starting from this wish list and seeing where it takes me! :) I hope Katrina is OK with that. :)
Top of my list? Rick Riordan's book to be released on October 2nd - "
I've recently been introduced to Alison Weir and I'm finding it difficult to pick which of her books with which to start. I'm thinking of tackling "Wars of the Roses" and "Children of Henry VIII."
Another similar novel - "
And, I've been meaning to also read "Age of Wonder" by Richard Holmes.
Recently, I've been re-reading the Jim Butcher Harry Dresden series. Now that I've read them all, I thought I'd try the first of Butcher's other series, "Furies of Calderon."
One of my brain candy authors that I generally read in the summer but didn't get around to it this year in Diane Mott Davidson. I'm reading through her Goldy books and thought I'd throw in "Tough Cookie" for this challenge.
And, finally, a few more non-fiction...Meg Meeker's "10 Habits of Happy Mothers," Frances Chan's "Crazy Love," and Lucy and Susan Letcher's travel journal "
Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get all those here to the middle of my cornfield. I'll get what I can and maybe stumble onto something else that strikes my fancy. We shall see! Excited to see how much I get done!
Please don't hesitate to join us! Stop by Katrina's challenge anytime between now and mid-December to jump on board!

Sounds like a fun list! I love travel journals. Happy reading!!
Of course I'm okay with it. :) You set some goals and you hope and plan to read this fall -- that's good enough for me! :) I have a Goldy book that I meant to put on my list, but completely forgot (Crunch Time). Oh well, it'll keep. Hope you manage to fit in more reading that you think you will. Thanks for being part of the challenge!
