Fall Reading...

It is time for the Fall Into Reading Challenge 2010! I like challenging myself to read new books, and maybe a few old favorites.

My list...

In A Dark Wood Wandering

The Time Traveler's Wife

A Thousand Splendid Suns

A Midwife's Tale

Other than that, I have reading for college too, hence the fairly short list above!

Read-alouds for the children... History

White Stag

King Arthur series and St George & the Dragon

Either Lang's or Green's King Arthur (if the kids are fascinated enough by the above books)

Sir Gawain series
Across a Dark & Wild Sea

1001 Arabian Nights

Beowulf the Warrior

The Viking Tales and/or Leif the Lucky, along with D'Aulaires' Norse Myths

Swords and Samurai

The Norman Conquest

If we still have time after that (and before Dec 20 when this reading challenge ends), we'll add in:

William the Conqueror

The Hidden Treasure of Glaston

Minstral in the Tower

and

The Stones of Green Knowe

Otherwise, we'll just get to those after the winter break.

I also read general good books to the kids. For fall, we're reading The Borrowers series, then we'll read A Christmas Carol in December. If we have time, we'll read The Princess and the Goblin. We're also reading The Burgess Bird Book for Children. And we read little, short books too.

Yes, we read too much! (is there such a thing????)
