Online Book Club - March Theme: St. Patrick

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog. 



I've been joining some blogging friends in an online book club, and all our readers are invited to join in as well. Here's how it works:
At the beginning of the month Amanda at Hopkins Homeschool will share a book theme with us. It will be a theme instead of any specific title, so that anyone can participate - moms, dads, teens, kids, or the whole family. During the month, we will read books that go with the theme, and at the end of the month we'll share about what we read. Homeschool families may want to do unit studies or activities that go with the books they read, and they can tell us all about what they did and learned. Adults and teens may just want to share book reviews. 
Visit Hopkins Homeschool to find out more about what she has planned!

Well, the theme of St Patrick is an obvious one for the month of March, and my first thought was that I would re-read one of my favorite novels, Patrick: Son of Ireland by Stephen R Lawhead. I think I read it every other year in March. It's a favorite, and it certainly fits the theme, as it's a novelized version of St Patrick's life, so I will get started on it this week but I'm realistic enough to know I won't finish it by the end of the month. I grabbed another biography of the saint on Kindle that's geared for young readers, so I should be able to finish that! The reviews for Patrick by Jessica Dunn were positive, and it seemed to be enjoyed by adults and older kids alike. Stop by again near the end of the month to see what I thought of it, and how far I got on the Lawhead book!

Both of these look like great books! I need to look into Patrick for my kids. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to hear how you liked it.

I don't think I have ever read a St. Patrick's day themed book (other than picture books with my boys when they were little!).

Joanne - I agree, the St Patrick themed books are all for young kids. Except for biographies of Patrick himself, and there don't seem to be a lot of those

I am going to have to look this up.
