I didn’t create a reading list for this year like I have in the past. Instead, I challenged myself to read 40 books by the end of the year. This goal includes the chapter books I read-aloud with the children as well as what I read for myself.
I am keeping up with my progress on Goodreads, which is my new favorite way to keep a record of what I’m reading!
By the way, if you’re on Goodreads, I’d love to be friends with you! I love hearing what others are reading and adding books to my “to read” shelf that have been recommended by others. Click here and add me as a friend!
Oh, and since I’m ALWAYS asked how I get so much reading done, you can check out this post that gives you 15 of my best tips for making time to read. Okay, now for what I read this month!

I picked up Sally Clarkson’s book Own Your Life again and am trying to finish it. I was gifted her new book but I want to finish the other first. I’m also slowly working/skimming through A Charlotte Mason Companion and refreshing myself on her ideas on habits with a book called Laying Down the Rails.
As far as with the kids, my husband is reading Where the Red Fern Grows, I finished Misty of Chincoteague and started rereading Peter Pan, and we are slowly working through The Long Winter (a Little House book) together as a family. In the car we have been enjoying Dragon Tales on audiobook.
I’m really interested in Laying Down the Rails. It’s on my list. I like to re-read/skim A Charlotte mason Companion as a refresher from time-to-time too. And the Sally Clarkson books on my ever growing list…
Where the Red Fern Grows … great book!! We loved Peter Pan too on our road trip a couple of years ago.
Such a great book list! Thanks for sharing!
I just finished reading RISEN. Very good. I also have been reading the Joel Rosenberg books. AMAZING! My children are in homes of their own, but I did read to them when they were home. We read the original Raggedy Anne and Andy books, Little House on the Prairie books and more.
We just picked up a few of my old Raggedy Ann and Andy books. So fun!
I just finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with my 4 year old! I had never read the book and didn’t really care for the movie (the older version – I’m not a big Martin Short fan so I never bothered with the more recent one!) Besides being a bit strange, we definitely enjoyed it! I’ve been slowwwwly working my way through 12 Years a Slave. The first 60% I got through really quick (thanks Goodreads for the progress report lol), but now it’s gotten a bit slow. What a terrible story. I’ve never read a book like this before – about slavery – so I’ve learned a lot, and some has been tough to swallow. I also recently read Fahrenheit451 – I’m trying to read some “classics,” I guess! I have so many books on my list – you MIGHT know how that feels 😉
Love your reading list pallet! Gotta love Goodread too. It has definitely helped keep me accountable!
