Today is the first day of the last week of AO7 term 2. By the end of this week we will have finished:

::The Pursuit of God

:: The Brendan Voyage

:: A Taste of Chaucer

:: Twain's Joan of Arc

:: In Freedom's Cause

:: Ivanhoe

:: The Daughter of Time

:: The Sword in the Stone

:: The Return of the Word Spy (Australian grammar)

:: Tennyson's Idylls of the King (Epic poetry from this term's poet)

:: How Did We Find about About Black Holes? by Isaac Asimov (CM science)

:: The Thunder: A Novel on John Knox by Douglas Bond (for our trip)

:: The Von Trapp Family Singers (AO6)

:: Consider This by Karen Glass (for the second time) (CM education)

:: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Free read)

:: How Sleep the Brave! by J. H. Hunter (for our trip)

:: The Radium Woman by Doorly (CM science)

:: Ten Fingers for God by Paul Brand (as an adjunct to Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. Also CM Science.)

Eighteen climactic endings! What a week! I tried to find a clever collective noun for climactic endings, but I had no success. Bliss works for me.

Are you finishing any books this week? What are you looking forward to reading next?

(My friend, Jacqueline suggested I label the books that are not on the AO7 list, so I've done that. The books without brackets are from the regular AO7 Booklist.)

  1. Hi Jeanne,

    Can I include this in this week's Carnival of Homeschooling?

    Thanks, M.S.

  2. I'm not finishing any books this week. In fact, I just started a whole stack of books last week from Year 7. I'm enjoying the ones I'm reading immensely!

I'd love you to leave me a message. Tell me what you like - and what you don't. Just remember that this is what we do in our family - it doesn't have to be what you do in yours...
