List of Books

Below is a list of books another homeschooling mom posted. She states that she was given this by a college admissions person. I am saving as in a few years (about 6 I will have 1 going). This is just for saving not for debate. If you are interested in it, great. If you want to debate this list, I am only saving it for my use.
