Sing me to Heaven

Every Good Book

 My dad has published another website! He's been working on this for quite a while. The new site is specifically to help choose and find the best books possible. Over 700 books are included now - there are about 400 more that Daddy and I are working to categorize. Stop by when you get a chance...

http://www.everygoodbook.com/

Here's the basic idea from the site's front page:

The reader's dilemma - so many great books to read! As a book-loving homeschool family, we've collected dozens of reading lists over the years, literally thousands of recommendations. We used these to find great books for a certain reading level, historical period, or type such as fiction, biography, etc. We found some books on almost everyone's "Classics" list, and many more on multiple lists, giving us a sense of each book's importance. We'd look online to find which were in-print and affordable, and so on... A rewarding, yet difficult process of categorizing, prioritizing, searching - just the things a website can do so well.

EveryGoodBook finds just the right book - new or old for homeschool, classical education, and personal enrichment. Search and sort through hundreds of possible books according to any combination of reading level, type, historical period, or rank

This website makes it easy to find good literature! Come check it out!
My dad also has his personal site, which may interest you: www.everygoodpath.net.

That sounds very interesting! I'll have to check it out sometimes... =)

RYC:
Thanks! I like the color of my room, too! Such an improvement from those teddy bears... Whoops! I never posted the "Before" pictures!

I agree... Rio Rita was not the best musical we've seen-- the one at the public park was *cleaner*. And yes, some-- most of the dresses were awful. Some of the funny parts should've been left out, though... Such as the scene when Chick and the lawyer got drunk and then he whacked the "real lady" with the hat...

You phrased your review so nicely, if only I could do the same...

Indeed! We're having quesedillas today for lunch, but no mashed potatoes. =)

I always thought that Jadis (the snake woman) was a little fake looking. :) But I love Puddleglum!

Wow! That is an amazing site! I am so going to use it :P I already looked up C.S. Lewis on there and wow, already three books!

RYC: Oh that is a great book! I enjoyed reading it a while back but now that I think of it I should really read it again.

Lol! That is a great quote. Very true...

Eric, thanks for taking a look at the site. There are actually 22 books from C.S. Lewis listed, but only 3 show up if there's no space between C. and S. I'll fix that tomorrow, by changing the code to treat initials consistently regardless of how the search term is entered. The site's been up about a month so still working out a few bugs and adding features.
Any other comments/suggestions you have are appreciated. You can comment/contact at http://www.everygoodbook.com/contact
Thanks!
