Our Week-End Book Report

Here is a list of most of the books that our family had a chance to read this week. I plan on posting these lists each week for personal data-keeping reasons, but also to give you a glimpse into our home school life and in hopes that it might help you choose enjoyable books on your next trip to the library. If you ever have a comment or question about one of the books in our week-end lists I would be more than happy to remark on it. I will try to post comments under the books that need them, but otherwise we plan to rate the books on a scale of 1 to 5.  (if the book gets a score of 1 or 2 I'll definitely try to provide an explanation) I will also post under the books the names of the readers/scorers, and a few comments on the type of book we thought it was, whether it had any great academic value etc.

Here is our rating scale: (if it scores a 4 or 5 then we recommend it)

1= we'll never check this book out again.
2= If there was nothing else to read we could suffer through it.
3= Enjoyed it once, but once will probably be enough.
4= We would be happy to check this book out again, and will probably look for it again on the shelves. We would recommend it to a friend. 
5= This goes on our list of all-time favorites.We could enjoy it numerous times, and will probably check it out often or already do check it out often. We would recommend or buy it for a friend.
