When you hear “homeschool,” there’s probably a specific image that pops into your mind: six hours at the kitchen table doing classwork with no socialization. Olivia and Audrey are joined by Lauren and Elyse, who tell us about their experience as local homeschool parents and the ways that home education is changing in the 21st century.

Olivia recommends: The Marriage Game by Alison Weir
Genre: Historical fiction
Reading Level: Teen and up
Summary: Another masterpiece by Alison Weir telling the story of Elizabeth I and the mounting pressure she was under to take a husband during her rein.
Olivia says: This author does an amazing job of bringing Tudor history to life. It was so interesting to read about Elizabeth I’s life as Queen and the constant pressure she was under to marry. Before reading this book, I knew a bit about the history between the late Queen and Robert Dudley, but the author brings more information to light, which was interesting to read about as well.
