I've been working all evening, planning 2nd grade for my (soon to be) eight-year-old son, and I've narrowed the books down to....
thirty-six books.
THIRTY-SIX!!
That's not counting math or early reader books, or the additional nine free-reading books still on my list.
AaaaaaaaaGH!
I know we can't read everything.
I know that, if we miss certain subjects this time around, maybe we'll catch it next time (we are doing a 4 year history cycle).
And I know that there is no perfect booklist.
And I know that "a complete education" is a myth.
What I *don't* know is, how do I widdle down this huge booklist?! They ALL look so good!!
I don't really have a point to this post. Just figured, this is someplace I can post where others might understand. :D

PS the worst is shrinking the biography list. UHG!
