That is awesome!!! Is this going to be a place where we can add to, or make notes in regards to the books listed above? (ie, several of the books listed are actually the first in a series)

Sure.
![]() The books that I linked to that were series, I tried to link to the full series. In the non-linked books I just listed the first one and assumed that those that checked it out and liked it would notice that it was a series. ![]()

Can this be made into a sticky or put into the Educating our Children forum? This is a fantastic reference that I will want to refer back to! Thanks so much!

Yep. I meant to sticky it when I posted it.
![]() It's also stickied in Young Thinkers and the Reader's Alcove. ![]() ---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ---------- I also want to say that I really debated which education forum to put it in - the fact that it's here isn't a snub to non-homeschoolers (I'm not an exclusive homeschooler myself!). ![]() ---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ---------- I chose HS because from what I've noticed, it comes up somewhat more frequently here.
