I, Juan de Pareja by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino - I added this book to our Level 3 year 2 history reading in time for Second Daughter (and later, Second Son) to read. It was an enjoyable book to read, especially in such a busy month for us. (purchased used copy)
The Office of Assertion: An Art of Rhetoric for the Academic Essay by Scott F. Crider - link to my post (purchased copy)
The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey - A bed-ridden detective explores the long-buried mystery of the alleged murder by King Richard III of his young nephews. The book argues for a less-common view of King Richard III. I wasn't convinced, but many are. This is a fun read to complement English history for those students who always want to read more.

The Randy by Dorothy Sanders - I thought this would be a nice addition to our home library because we have relatively few books set in Australia or New Zealand. I picked it up when ordering something else from Living Book Press. There's mystery, excitement, and history as well as a little geography. It would make a good supplemental reading book for Level 4, when Mater Amabilis students are studying twentieth century history. Though not without sorrow and touching on war, there's much less violence and horror than many of the books set in Europe during that time.

Anne of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery - A few years ago, I began to re-read the Anne books, wondering how they'd stand up to my memories. As a girl, this was my least favorite of the series. It might still be my least favorite, but I enjoyed it much more now that I am a mother myself. (copy I was gifted as a girl)
