Your book recommendations are always fantastic, high quality books. Will you do another book recommendation post any time soon? I'd love an updated list

Thank you for the book recommendations. We have loved the Maths one, and I’m still waiting for some of the others from the library. We will be buying the maths one.

Hi Sarah,
We are a new unschooling family this year! I just wanted to say how inspirational your family has been to us. As new Unschoolers we sometimes go through a ‘doubt’ period and I know during these periods I just have to jump on your site and read a page or two to feel ‘full’ again!
One question for you; how the heck do u choose your books? Through the endless lists and endless aisles at the library l sometimes find it hard to find any real ‘good’ choices!
Take care, and thank you for the inspiration!
Melissa

We just got “The Power Book” from the library in their new section! We’ve also subscribed to Honest History this year, which offers a thorough review of its subjects in each magazine. Working our way through India (the winter issue) and its discussions about colonialism and caste (it’s nice to approach racism in such a different tack), plus lots of stories and lore. We’re also reading “Your Happiest You” by American Girl, an overview on happiness for pre-teens that’s proved helpful. It’s totally for girls, but I’ve been changing pronouns as I read for my 10-year-old boy, who’s getting the most out of it. I couldn’t find one in the same vein for boys, but now I’m encouraged to try the Happy, Healthy Minds you’ve listed. Thanks!
