The third tab in the Teacher's Manual portion of my Control Journal is "BOOKS."  You will now discover another small obsession I have -- collecting books!  I have several book lists & I try once a year to do an inventory of what I have.  I get my book lists from numerous sources . . . I use "Drawn Into the Heart of Reading"  by Heart of Dakota & they offer a sample book ideas listed by genre & by level.  http://www.heartofdakota.com/drawn-into-packages.php   Heart of Dakota also offers book packages by boy/girl/classics categories.  This has been very helpful to me in selecting books for independent reading.  This is at the front of my books section.  Next, I have a list of books I am currently searching for (I always search high & low for used books before I buy them used).  

Here are the book lists I have:

Five in a Row   ---   http://www.fiveinarow.com/FIAR/FIARBL.html

Several of the Beautiful Feet Books  ---  www.bfbooks.com

Book list in the back of "Educating the Wholehearted Child"   -- Contemporary Children's Fiction, Classic Literature For Children, Picture Books & Illustrated Story Books

A Charlotte Mason Education (Literature by Grade) ---  http://sites.silaspartners.com/CC_Content_Page/0,,PTID61309%7CCHID605214%7CCIID,00.html

There are also several other books that are available such as, Honey for A Childs Heart, Let's Hear it for the Girls, Let the Authors Speak, Books Children Love, The Boy's Guide to the Historical Adventures of G.A. Henty, Books that Build Character, How to Grow a Young Reader & Truthquest History offers a wonderful list of books, as well as beautiful chronological commentary.  A lot of the typical homeschooling books will offer small book lists.  For example, Educating the Whole Hearted Child, & many of the Charlotte Mason books.  In addition to these I have found wonderful book lists throughout my favorite curriculums (see sidebar).  I know a lot of homeschoolers use Sonlight Curriculum suggested reading. 

Well, there are my book list secrets.  Now if you are trying to build your own family library, I would encourage you to spend the week creating/organizing your personal "Book Tab."
