Okay, my TBR stack just got bigger! These look so good! This Seat's Saved and A Wolf Called Wander will be added to the Recommended Reading List for my sixth grade students. I love learning about new authors (or new to me!), and I'm excited to read Erin Bartels. Thank you for this wonderful list!
I love to see that your family is enjoying The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It's my all-time favorite of The Chronicles of Narnia. I love all of them but that one the best.
One of my greatest joys as a mother and sometime homeschooler, sometime teacher was introducing my children and other kids as well to The Chronicles of Narnia.
I don't know if you listen to the gray havens, but their album Blue Flower has a song called Tread the Dawn that you should listen to with your kids. They'll love the allusions to voyage of the Dawn Treader. (Allusions to Lewis' other works are sprinkled throughout that album.)
My daughter, my eldest, turned 20 this year and has been away at college for 3 years now.
We just dropped my older son off at college in August, and so I only have one at home and he's 15. So, it's not as easy as it used to be to gather my kids around to read a story. (Seriously, I never thought that would happen.)
That said, earlier this year I read Fiddler's Gun and started Fiddler's Green with my boys. The duology by A S. Peterson (brother of Andrew Peterson) are probably in my top 10 books of all time, which is saying something. I usually hesitate to pick favorites because there are just so many good books. Those books, though, are for older readers.
The Wingfeather Saga are all time favorites in our family.
Oh I will be adding these to my TBR. I’ve been trying to get my girls excited about The Wingfeather Saga, but I might just read it on my own so I can keep talking it up.

Okay, I’m immediately looking up this song. I have a feeling it’s going to be a repeat listen today. Thank you!
As a story-loving family, what books have you enjoyed so far this year?
