✨ Top 10 (plus) fiction from the second quarter of the year

This quarter included books from some of my favorite authors: Melanie Dobson, Joanna Davidson Politano, Sian Ann Bessey, Lisa Wingate, and Naomi Stephens.

And I also found a few hidden gems (looking at you, fairytale retellings 👀) which is always fun! 💕

As always, the fiction I recommend here on my page has low spice (kisses only) and is squeaky clean. I do share full book reviews and content considerations for each book I read and you can find them in my story highlights.

👉🏽 I'd love to hear your favorites from the second quarter!

👋🏽 Have you read any of these?

☀️ Sooo...we did something crazy!

My goal has been that beginning in July we would dive into our 50 state study!

When I saw this idea to send letters to the state tourism departments asking for information we can use in our state notebooks, I thought it was the perfect thing to help bring our studies alive. 🤗

We've already received 23 packages from all over the U.S. full of brochures, maps, and more! We are all so excited to begin! I'm going to need to track down addresses for Indiana and Alaska because those letters were returned. 😆

🇺🇸 The Read Through the U.S. unit study is created by me and available on my website. It includes recipes, craft ideas, fun facts, and book lists for each state.

🙌🏽 Thanks to @theroseschoolroom for the letter inspiration.

✨ What's been your favorite resource for U.S. geography?

✨ Do you have kids that still enjoy picture books but are ready for longer stories?

I love this stage because it is a prequel to many amazing stories and adventures with chapter books!! 💞

👏🏽 Long-form picture books (or picture novellas) still include my favorite thing - which is the full-page illustrations! But the text is longer, deeper, and richer.

➡️ Need a list? I got you. Comment "READY" and I'll send you the list of the books shown in this reel PLUS a lot more!!! 😍

☀️ Homeschool summer plans ⤵️

While we definitely enjoy a break and slower pace during the summer, I always think it is good for us to have a few things that help bring some cohesiveness to our days.

I tried to be super intentional about not planning too much and it won't all happen every day, but it will hopefully give us some purpose, especially when the humidity hits. 🫠

Nature Study:

✨ Seasons Afield from @beautifulfeetbooks
- I am looking forward to a beautiful stack of books and watercolor activities that help us enjoy time in nature.

Bible Study:

✨ Foundations of the Bible Volume One from @drivenbygrace - I have been wanting to do some deep dives into Scripture with my boys and I am so excited to use this study. It includes daily Bible readings, picture book suggestions, and more.

Geography:

✨ Read Through the USA by me ☺️ and 50 states journals from @schoolnest - We were supposed to begin our state study this year and it fell a bit short so I thought it would be fun to pick it up this summer.

✨ We will also be using the new 50 states art unit from @art_makes_me_smart

✨ And of course lots of fun read alouds - I always let the boys help me choose these and it's our favorite.

✨ I also created a book basket of options for my oldest's independent reading time and a few I will co-read with my new reader.

👋🏽 Do you have any summer learning plans?

👀 Is there anything your enjoy seeing flip through of?

✨ Hit & Miss read alouds from our school year

We really didn't have many misses - although I personally didn't enjoy The Adventures of the South Pole Pig, but my boys thought it was great. 😆

We studied early America for our history this year and read many great picture books, but our read alouds were definitely the highlight.

• Children of the Long House
• Tolliver's Secret
• The Cabin Faced West
• The Sign of the Beaver
• The Courage of Sarah Noble

✨ Our favorite fun read was, by far, The Wilderking Trilogy.

✨ Book series for reluctant readers

I have had a reluctant reader and it can be hard to know which books to choose that they will hopefully enjoy! 🤞🏽

👉🏽 One tip I have heard and experienced over and over is to read the first book in a series with them. They get to know the characters and writing style and can enjoy the rest of the series themselves.

Here is a list of favorite series for ages 6-9:

✨ Sophie Mouse by Poppy Green - 23 books

✨ Imagination Station by Various Authors - 36 books

✨ The Secrets of the Hidden Scrolls by M.J. Thomas - 9 books + 2 books in a spin off series

✨ Heartwood Hotel by Kallie George - 6 books

✨ Betsy and Tacy by Maude Hart Lovelace - 11 books

✨ The Last Chance Detectives by Jim Ware - 8 books (recommended for 9+)

✨ Young David by Andy McGuire - 5 books

✨ Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner - 19 original books + over 162 others by ghost writers

✨ Anne Chapter Books by Kallie George - 6 books

✨ All of a Kind Family by Sydney Taylor - 5 books

I have had a reluctant reader and it can be hard to know which books to choose that they will hopefully enjoy! 🤞🏽

👉🏽 One tip I have heard and experienced over and over is to read the first book in a series with them. They get to know the characters and writing style and can enjoy the rest of the series themselves.

Here is a list of favorite series for ages 6-9:

✨ Sophie Mouse by Poppy Green - 23 books

✨ Imagination Station by Various Authors - 36 books

✨ The Secrets of the Hidden Scrolls by M.J. Thomas - 9 books + 2 books in a spin off series

✨ Heartwood Hotel by Kallie George - 6 books

✨ Betsy and Tacy by Maude Hart Lovelace - 11 books

✨ The Last Chance Detectives by Jim Ware - 8 books (recommended for 9+)

✨ Young David by Andy McGuire - 5 books

✨ Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner - 19 original books + over 162 others by ghost writers

✨ Anne Chapter Books by Kallie George - 6 books

✨ All of a Kind Family by Sydney Taylor - 5 books

✨ Top 10 fiction from the first quarter of the year

This year I found some new-to-me authors which I'm very excited about including Sian Ann Bessey and Sarah M. Eden. 💕

Also, the fiction I recommend here on my page has no spice and is squeaky clean. I do share full book reviews and content considerations for each book I read and you can find them in my story highlights.

👉🏽 I'd love to hear your favorites from the first quarter!

* I apologize, the Come Down Somewhere is not a BBC TV show. Somehow I missed changing that in my slide. 🫣

✨ Any other mood readers out there?

I've been an avid reader all my life so I have read my fair share of fiction! 😉
However, I'm also a mood reader who is a book reviewer who also likes her reads to be squeaky clean.

So let's do a little round up of my top five favorite fiction reads. How can you pick only five, you may ask? Honestly, I have no idea, I'm just rolling with it. 🫣🤣

Here we go. These books have impacted my life in so many ways:

👏🏽 Set the Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes - this sets the standard for all Christian fiction in my humble opinion.

👏🏽 The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion - tip: you gotta read book two immediately after book one.

👏🏽 Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen - is it better than Pride and Prejudice? Debatable, but it's definitely a close second.

👏🏽 Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson - I mean, if you're into a good Regency story, let it be this one.

👏🏽 As Sure As the Sea by Jamie Ogle - I listened to the audiobook and wanted to relisten as soon as it was finished.

👉🏽 Spy any favorites?

🤔 Should I do a part two?

Classics can be intimidating!

👋🏽Tip: Listen to the audiobook. Honestly, that's how I have "read" every one of my classic books so far!
You can experience the story without having to figure out how to pronounce names or read dialogue in old English.

A few classics in my TBR: Les Miserables and Ben Hur.

✨ Author & Illustrator Spotlight

In what is quickly becoming an AI generated world, it is so refreshing to find an author/illustrator that is still creating beauty with her hands. 💕

I have been a fan of @tabithapaigekids books for many years, but was thrilled when she sent me a box of books to check out! 😍

My toddler has enjoyed these books so much! Not only are they great for learning new words, but we love that they can also be used as seek and find books.

The illustrations are gorgeous watercolors and so realistic, which my kids are always drawn to. 💕

Books pictures:

• Wishy Washy
• Our Big Book of Words
• Our Big Book of Sports

BOOK LISTS

I have 100+ book lists available for all ages and topics.

All of the books on these lists have been personally vetted by our family. I review all books through a Biblical lens, wanting to fill our minds and hearts with beautiful things that honor God. If there is any questionable content that parents should know, you can find it in the book description.

This post may contain affiliate links, so I receive a small commission when you purchase through them.

Thank you for supporting This New Day and our little family.

These lists include age levels, nature, holidays, history & more!

Early reader books that bridge the gap between picture books and chapter books.

These lists include age levels, history, seasons, & more!

My personal favorite reads (and maybe my husbands).

FAMILY

DISCIPLESHIP

These lists include Christian & Bible books, missionary stories, devotional books & more!

RESOURCE

BOOKS

These lists include books we enjoy using in our homeschool for nature study, art, maps, & more!
