Book List Year 2017-2018
Sophomore Year
Unlike every other school year, 2017-2018 was a mix-up of finishing up Core H and repeated attempts to engage in Core 100 (Sonlight) before she gave up due to her lack of interest. I decided to pick some of the books that I read in high school that meant a lot to me to share with her as we re-plan her high school path to finish her school year. Some of the books from the school year are from Sonlight (Core H and 100), some my add-in's, and some Dd's personal 'fun book' choices. I will first list the educational books then a separate second list of her 'fun books.' I'm not including any text books- driver's training, science, etc.
