I would classify the majority of these books as “Living Books” and “Classics” and they are definitely “Twaddle Free”! They include Fiction, Biography, and some Non-Fiction Christian Living Books. The reading lists have books in three categories. ![]() ![]() I do that so my children will have a bit of a break and enjoy a good easy read. You may note that occasionally there will be a few books below grade level stuck into a year. The following book lists for each level do not represent all the books my kids have read but rather these are the “required reading” for each grade level. In preparation for this post, my high schoolers and college students were pulling their favorite books off our shelves to make sure they were included in the following lists! Such good times!

She already had traitors blood in her so it shouldn’t have surprised Sera so much that Lucia and her mother did this. But some people are just born bad and are twisted by their evil, power-hungry parents. ![]() Just because her parents weren’t allowed to marry didn’t give them the right to take what wasn’t theirs. I couldn’t get over how entitled and vain she was. It was also interesting to read from Lucia’s perspective. I get that Sera has a bigger fight that the others, she’s lost her home because of people she trusted betraying her family but it’s six mermaids fighting to save the world from Abbadon, not just one. The first two books mostly focused on Sera and Neela and I felt it was way past time that Astrid, Becca, Ling and Ava had time to tell their stories. I was glad that the other four mermaids finally got some time in this book. ![]() ![]() I didn’t feel like there was a huge gap between the ending on one book and the start of the next.

Publication Date – 2015 by Hodder Children’s Books ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a kind of double bildungsroman, in which Jim is the ascetic scholar and Antonia the earth mother. It is iterative, quotidian, and insists on a sense of routine even when the events it describes are too particular to have been repeated. ![]() The novel has an episodic/epiphanic structure at the start and end, almost like the land it describes, which “was not a country, but the material out of which a country is made.” In between, it has a more normative structure around Antonia’s extended adolescence and nascent sexuality. We see his narrative, but also its flaws, its failure to cohere, its overdetermined symbolism. Jim, like Nick Carraway, has blind spots in his idealized, Georgic view of Antonia. The unusual frame narrative is that of Jim Burden, whom the unidentified narrator meets on a train and asks to tell Antonia Shimerda’s story. ![]() Willa Cather’s novel explores immigrants and Americans settling in Black Hawk, Nebraska. ![]() ![]() ![]() In spite of a million difference between Sean and Charlotte, their love for each other is always the same.
