About meI started reading about age two, and haven't stopped. I think in words, eat them for supper, and sometimes awaken in the night with a need to consult the dictionary.
I'm hesitant to acknowledge that I'm a homeschooling mother, because I don't fit in with most homeschool groups. I think regular academic testing is great. I love a good scope and sequence, don't buy the claims of classical educators, and think many of Charlotte Mason devotees are following an anachronistic plan without any understanding of what true education really is about. On the other hand, homeschooling gives me a fantastic excuse to buy more books. I enjoy few things better than watching my children learn.
About my libraryI particularly enjoy children's books, books on the English language, and books on education/special education. My husband's books include many medical titles and WW2 and airplane history books.
I read and write from a Christian World View; thus, my annotations sometimes includes concerns and comments (about philosophy, moral tone, or objectionable elements) that make the most sense within this context.

I really enjoyed gathering ideas and shaping my reading, making links etc. The pleasure of having others taking an interest and vice versa is also great! In addition friends drop in and suggest other titles, comment upon each other's reading etc! Come on over to the group for a look and then go right in and introduce yourself. As you will see we have each developed a thread using our LT name.
Let me know if you have any query - otherwise hope to see you soon! Julie

And it was one I hoped he would enjoy if it seemed to model manly virtues- courage, self-discipline, honour, - in an exciting way.

I read your review of [All Things Bright and Beautiful] here on LT. I was wondering, have you also read [All Creatures Great and Small]? And if so, would you recommend reading them in order?
[All Things Bright and Beautiful] is in my tbr pile, and rapidly getting closer to the top, and I was wondering whether I should acquire the first book before I need to read it.
Thanks,
Emily
