My August Reading List

-
I love to read. I have since I was a little girl. I love classics, mysteries and historical fiction. My most favorite author is Jane Austin. Every year i reread one of her books.

This month I am reading, The Count of Monte Cristo  by Alexander Dumas, The Life Giving Home by Sally & Sarah Clarkson, and Know and Tell by Karen Glass. I am trying to read more nonfiction.

My Reading Stack


I love when the boys see me reading and it motivates them to read. JJ saw me reading "The Count of Monte Cristo", and then found a copy of the "Great Illustrated Classics" version at the thrift store. He loved being able to read the same book as me, and is excited to read the original when he gets older.

JJ is reading the same story only "Great Illustrated Classics" version.
My kids do wine and complain about reading, but then I see them snuggled up on the couch reading without being told to. It makes my heart so happy. I am trying to set the example.


The boys both made Pillow forts and curled up with a book.

View of the castle as we hike up to it. The views from the castle are wonderful. The picture above shows a little white church in the forest. Legend says that it originally sat on the hill where the castle was. Angels came down and moved it out of the way, so the castle could be built in 11th century. There are two places to eat. We ate at the outdoor restaurant. It was very windy. We took the guided tour, but picture of the interior are not aloud. It gave some great history of...

 I still am using a bullet journal. I still love it. I post all my weekly layouts and monthly cover in Instagram @homeschoolbulletjournal. Here is a peek in my 2021 yearly set up. I really like the Cover page I came up with. This year we will be moving and big changes are coming. I felt that a compass was a good reminder to stay the course and believe that God has got it all.
