I love to put together book lists. I’ve figured out the perfect combination of types of materials to search for at my local library, and in general, have had amazing success to put together fun book lists. As the years have gone on (because I’ve been blogging for 10 years), I’ve got a lot of book lists for homeschoolers covering a multitude of topics. I thought I’d gather them all together here, and then organize them all together in one place.
(I’m sure at some point I will have affiliate links in here)
As I update more of those ancient blog posts, and realize I have way more posts of book lists for homeschoolers, then I’m sure I’ll add in a whole slew more. Until then, here’s what I’ve found so far. Also, you can find all of these lists and so many more books to read on my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board.
Hi, Future Ticia 2023 here, I’m updating this post with my new logo and about 20 more book lists. Y’all, I had at least 20 book lists I hadn’t included here, some were geography, many were history, and a few just these are cool books to read.
Apparently, I’m not the only homeschool mom putting together homeschool booklist for y’all, check out Rebecca’s book list.

I love to read, and every now and then I come up with a genius idea to put together a random booklist of fun books to read, usually themed.

Science Book Lists
This came mainly from our elementary days, and aren’t as many as I thought I would have, but I have a few science book lists. Many of them are actually up in the preschool lists because that is often when I had themed book lists.

I love your booklists! They are such a great resource and not just for homeschoolers 😉
Thanks! It was kind of interesting to see how many book lists I had so far.
Fantastic resource! You’ve written a lot of book lists over the years.
