Summer Stack

Emma took an online English course this year in school.

It just so happens that it was written and administered by our very

own (one and only) homeschool support teacher (who is a treasure).
This very same teacher also happens to have taught Austin in the classroom 
when our boys attended the little local Christian school (Emma never went).

We have a history with this particular teacher, and it is a good one.

A summer reading list was required of the students who had taken her course.

Complete with reasons as to why the books had been chosen.
The assumption is that they will continue to read.  All summer long.
It goes without saying that this has always been Emma's plan.

After a quick survey of the shelves downstairs and up,

Emma produced her very own summer stack of books.

She'll likely be finished ahead of fall.  It is how it is.

I have fond memories of my own summer reading as a young girl.

Squirrelled away in our little tree house, I would read while the

summer breezes blew.  For hours on end.

Pollyanna was my chosen companion the summer I turned twelve.

The unabridged and original classic was read from my grandmother's copy.

Published in 1913.  A rare treasure.

It was a magical experience.  One that I'm not likely to forget.

What about you?  Do you have a favourite summer-time read?

A sweet memory (or two?) to share from a summer long ago or the most recent one?

Any particular books you might recommend for our girl?  Or her mama?

Please do share.  We're all ears.  Both of us.

Happy summer reading!

With Love, Camille
