A few good summer reads, on Mama Bear's List....

Simply Charlotte Mason, Smooth and Easy Days~ Free ebook. There are more on the site, I just haven't read them yet.
The Original Charlotte Mason Series~ I am loving these, and haven't gotten nearly as far as I wish. I could read them constantly!
Dumbing us down by John Taylor Gatto~ this is the first book I started reading out of this bunch, and it was the one that got me in my reading groove. I am planing to read it again, once I am finished with Miss Mason.
Homeschooling with a meek and quiet spirit~ I read this title on another blog, as a recommended summer read, and well I thought the title sounded just like what I needed, right now.... and it was!!!
