What's Left to Read in 2012

I've been sorting through our history schedule and the books we would like to have read, this year.

It's August already and  Spring-is-nearly-here fever seems to have hit our home, which inevitably makes me start wondering are we going to met the self imposed dead line I've set for us with our learning schedule?

Or: Am I going to need to cull n clear some of the reading list so that we have a more realistic work load - before we greet christmas ☺ and pack away another years books, folders and notebooking pages?

I've gone back and combined a few more chapters of SOTW4 into a weeks reading, tossed a few books into the summer reading pile, put others away as previously read, or just shelved titles to be read - another year.

We do want to be doing other things, besides reading, as the weather becomes warmer ....

Here's what we're left with, which is very doable:

The letter represents a 4-5 week reading stretch until we get to the last letter, I, which is only 2-3 weeks.
