Does anyone here use just the Guerber books with historical fiction?

[Chris in CA]

If so, where do you find your fiction lists?? WTM? I understand there are now book lists in the Guerber books, are these helpful?
thanks

We are using Guerber this year. I don't use anything exclusively, but right now they are our main spine. I have gotten lists from multiple sources--SOTW activity guide, All Through the Ages, Sonlight, and Veritas Press. There is also a book list in the back of each Guerber book.

We used Guerber in 1st this way to cover Greece and Rome. Our books were a mix of fiction and biography and mainly came from All Through the Ages, Sonlight, and Veritas Press as well. Christine Miller's Classical Homeschooling (http://www.classical-homeschooling.org/curriculum/history-grammar.html) site also has books that she recommends using with the Guerber series. This year we switched to using the book lists in TruthQuest history and are just using the Guerber books to fill in when our library doesn't have books on a topic. We'll most likely do a combination of Guerber with TruthQuest for our next rotation.
