Below are links to the booklists I’ve created for my own children, students, and friends within our Catholic Schoolhouse chapter and broader homeschool community. I love discovering new stories to enthrall a reluctant reader, challenge a rhetoric student, or add some fun to our read aloud time. These titles accompany our historical timeline, beginning during the Renaissance and progressing to the modern era. Peruse and enjoy!
This booklist is an extensive one I compiled to correlate with my children’s work in their classical co-op. Weekly picks for each subject are included to enhance their memory work.

Here is the jam-packed list of exciting historical fiction, to easily supplement any historical or literary unit.
