I am on the lookout for a new, good read - preferably a book on homeschooling. 
I don't mind purchasing a new one, so it doesn't have to be readily available in libraries.
Any suggestions?
TIA!

Well, I unfortunately haven't read this one, but it's on my wish list. Have any of you all read it?

Leonie -- I just read Homeschooling -- Take A Deep Breath: You CAN Do This by Terri Lynn Bittner.
I thought it had ome great information -- I had many "duh" moments  -- and I liked the way she wrote. She's Mormon, but that's not even touched on in the book; religion is given a very small piece of the overall.
She also has a web-site, if you're itnerested in checking that out: Treasured Time for Homeschoolers. I think you'd enjoy it Leonie!

Leonie-
You read my mind! I'm so glad you posted this because I was thinking to do the exact same. I can't wait to hear from everyone.

Thanks all. Since I am on rest for the next week, I am going to have lots of reading time! 
Jennifer, I love Homeschooling Our Children, Unschooling Ourselves. The author, Allison McKee, is honest about her struggles and her joys.
And I always love real life homeschool stories.

Not a book but, I just discovered that our library carries the magazine Practical Homeschooling. I bought a stack home and have had a great time reading them. A more traditional, more driven style of homeschooling but interesting to read about.
Don't know if the magazine makes it to Australia though .

Here's a new one!
And here's the table of contents. I see a few familiar names in there . The book should be on sale in about two weeks. It's published by Sophia Press.

It's out now! It's on sale! I stopped by my local Catholic gift shop this morning (which is all too conveniently in the mall next to my grocery store ) and there it was on the shelf!
It looks wonderful and it has just found its way to the top of my reading stack !
