Fiction...
I've marked all the resources I've personally listened to (at least in part) with a *. I tend to find EVERY resources I can and mark it down in our planner with the understanding some will be flops, over my children's level or just not enjoyed. We then cut them out of our list and move on to the next thing, no sweat!
Some of the books I've included are not historical. I've included fictional and fantasy that seem to capture the thematic qualities of SOTW Volume #2 and I've filled them in under chapters that we have less resources and reading for just for our personal enjoyment!
Additional Info...
I really prefer Librivox to most other online audio book sites, as it is FREE, classic/public domain literature, easy to search, is fairly good quality and has a wide variety of resources for children! Nearly all I've listed are via Librivox. Librivox also lists the chapter titles when you go to click to listen and most of the chapters describe the topic fairly well so that you can apply it to a correct SOTW chapter... but I can't be sure until I listen to them as our school year progresses. Also, at times some of the audio book readers are harder to listen to than others, and we simply move on if we are struggling to listen to them or the chosen book.I've marked all the resources I've personally listened to (at least in part) with a *.
