Thanks again!!

Oh, have so much fun picking your books out!

I just ordered 3 different sets this morning, and juggled between 3 places to get everything. I needed to save what I could, and in the end saved about $150. I did have a few titles already, but not many.

For the extended reading, I did a mix of Classic and Girl selections for my dd...I let her pick on titles I was unsure of. Others I had a definite feeling for one over the other.

We also went with Bigger for now, vs. waiting for Preparing in the Fall. We did MFW Adv. last year, but want to dig deeper. We're doing MFW ECC this year, and jumping ship on it once Bigger comes in. ECC just hasn't been that thrilling for us...trying to maintain all those worksheets gets a bit boring. Anyway, since my dd is going into 4th, we did the higer end of everything for Bigger.
