My CM book group is going to read it this year, and I'm really excited. As for your other book, it makes me ridiculously happy to know that someone out there in the world is going to make friends with my beloved Anne-girl. She is one of my childhood favorites. AoGG is on next year's free reading read list for my oldest daughter. It might have to be a read aloud for us. :) Crunchy_Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664462256982746031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430638173587337848.post-30806269421971997342015-08-08T19:34:23.038-07:002015-08-08T19:34:23.038-07:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dawn. Last month...Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dawn. Last month I finished my first Dickens. It was a tough read, but there was a lot to like about it. It left me with some excellent (though extraordinarily long) entries in my commonplace book. I haven't read the book by Dreher, but I did recently(ish) hear him interviewed on Quiddity about his book, "How Dante Can Save Your Life." He sounds like an interesting guy. My handle comes from a forum I was a part of at least 10 years ago, in the early days of connecting online.Crunchy_Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664462256982746031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430638173587337848.post-61787296973394833542015-08-03T11:58:54.251-07:002015-08-03T11:58:54.251-07:00Isn't it true that using a literature rich way...Isn't it true that using a literature rich way of educating your children leads to mom wanting to pursue more great books herself? That is one thing I adore about home education! I think I have learned so much in the past 8 years right along with my boys. We are making a switch to AO this year and so far are loving it too! Truly enjoying the wide feast My rut, and this is awful to say, this summer, has been reading as much as I can about CM education. Just finished Consider This {so much to ponder there} and before that For the Children's Sake. I did however just buy Anne of Green Gables {for myself} since I have never read it!

What a pleasant surprise to my email box this morning - and a worthy read. <br />I have not read much science fiction. Lately my "rut" seems to be Victorian novels, but I am happy here for a time because I do have a wide variety of reading going on at once: history, education, theology, literature, etc. And AMEN! on having a wider palate developed through the wonderful books my children are - and will in future - get to read. <br />PS - I just noticed your handle here. Have you read the book Crunchy Cons by Rod Dreher? I read it last year and thought it was outstanding. Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255732394849264954noreply@blogger.com
