October Reads

Henry IV Part 2 by William Shakespeare 10/1/2013  Good - Classic 157 pages Audio  Henry IV dies and Prince Hal becomes Henry V. This was a book club book and also I wanted to read it because of the Hollow Crown Shakespeare series on PBS (BBC). Homeschool Open House: Interviews with 55 familie s by Nancy Lande 10/2/2013  Good - Non-fiction 495 pages Print  The book consists of interviews describing the lives of 55 homeschooling families; half are follow-up interviews five years after the author's previous book. I started reading this years ago and never finished. Pulled it out in August and started reading an interview or two every day. Some of the stories inspired me and some made me mad. LOL I wrote a longer review of this book on Cornerstone Home Learning.  The ACT for Bad Test Takers by Moshe Ohayon 10/8/2013  Excellent - Non-fiction 152 pages Kindle  Offers specific strategies based on analysis of past ACT tests to increase ACT scores. I highly recommend this. W
