Today it is L’s turn to share some of her favorite books. As much as she loves to read, I was truly surprised when she brought me 4 books. I decided that her favorite books are the ones she is reading right now. And, so, these are her favorites as of this post.
This is the second book by Edward Eager. The first is called Half Magic. She is really enjoying this little series that her dad introduced her to and he read as a young man.
The Dear America series is a group of books written as diaries by young girls from the past. She has checked a number of them out from the library. The one pictured here is of Elizabeth from Jamestown in 1609. L enjoyed this set of 3 diaries. The other absolute favorite diary set is of Sophia who was an immigrant at Ellis Island.
L has almost finished the Horse Diaries series. She has the last two checked out right now. She is sort of enamored with horses at the moment and has really enjoyed this series.
The Caroline series of books from American Girl is probably the best loved series long term for the time being. She has read this group of books a number of times and enjoyed them so much that she wanted a Caroline doll. She has read many of the American Girl books and another favorite set of hers is Kaya, a young Nez Perce Indian from about 150 years ago.
There is one more book that she is really enjoying right now titled “The Never Girls.” It is a play on the fairy tale characters and their offspring. We don’t have a copy of it. She checks it out from the library.
Now, on any given day, her favorites may change but these are the ones that seem to be pretty constant for a while now. She reads all the time. Just this evening, when she was told to head to bed, she had probably 10 books around her. We are always finding her reading. Not a bad thing at all!
I would love to know what your favorite book, fiction or nonfiction, about a historical subject is. We are always looking for more historical things to read. At Home.

Oh, The Never Girls sounds REALLY cool, thanks for the tip!
Let me know how the reader enjoys it. Both of my older girls have liked it but I personally have not read much of it yet.
Dear America is on of my daughter’s favorite series, too!
There is just so much good information in that series! We use these fairly often as part of our history curriculum/units.
my son is reading with me some books from an “our Canada” TYPE of series… these written from a boy’s point of view. They have another series written from a girl’s point of view but we thought we’d do the boys first. He is enjoying them very much. (annette @ a net in time).
That would be interesting. I’ll have to see if I can find that series. If you happen to come up with the name of the series, I would enjoy knowing it.
