Sneak out one book a day instead of ten, try hiding in your jacket instead of your bag if she's been checking or, stagger when you return books. As soon as you finish a book, return it instead of waiting until you've finished reading the others. And if she starts checking your things when you come in right before you come in find an area outside protected from the elements and put your books there that way when you first come in, you won't have the books on you. Then later on act all nonchalant like and sneak them in, she won't think to check since you've been home and can't possibly have done a speed run to the library in under two minutes.
Your mom is one lucky lady if the only thing she's got to be worried about is how you want to read a certain genre of books. Having said that, I think you should sit your mom down and explain that you both have different tastes in books and that she can't force you to like what she does. Try to compromise again, if you are allowed to read the books you like, you will read at least one biography or historical book a week(apart from what you have to do for schoolwork) and if you don't finish them in a week then you can't take out anymore books that you would enjoy reading until you do finish. And if she once again refuses to compromise tell her she is essentially banning books, which should be equated to the banning of free thought. She sounds like an intelligent woman if not a bit pretentious when it comes to reading material.

This is a problem, I myself am a Huge reader and can finsh a book like that. Now there are to ways to deal with this, either convince your mom or sneak the books
1. Convince your mom:
Tell your mom your a teenage girl (or tween) that loves to read and she should be happy for you, tell her that most girls your age hate reading and that it is good that you like it but you dont like reading those boring books she likes. Try saying somthing like " Mom, most girls my age have so much freedom and all im asking for is a little. I need to be a kid and do things, you cant keep me locked up forever" Dont be mean just tell her the truth. Also if your bored say "i wish i had somthing to read" and if she mentions one of her books say, those are so boring i want to read good books.
2. Sneak the Books
Try to do # 1 before you do # 2, this idea might not work but hopefully it will. Try going to the libary and getting tons of books and putting them in your bag, also put a few of the books your mom likes. Hide them in the bottom of your bag and when you get home go straight to your room and hide the books under your bed, in your closer, anywhere where she wont look. Then go back out with the bag with the historical books in it, show her what you got and even pretned to read it around her. Just make sure you dont risk it by reading ur teen books anywhere near her. Good luck with this. and also if she keeps cathing you, spend tons of time at the libray reading! she wont be avaible to monitor your reading there. Good luck with this.

Tell your mom that just because you're home-schooled doesn't mean home has to be school. When you're not taking lessons, she should allow you to read material that you enjoy.
Nothing opens up a mind like a good book.
There are also plenty of historical fiction books that you could look into.
But you should try talking with your mom. Sit her down and tell her you need some fantasy to know what reality is.

Well if your Mom was more enlightened she would realize that even fiction writers have to research what they are writing about in order to place some sort of significance on their stories. And as far as I am concerned after reading almost 600,000 books both fiction and non-fiction( I am a history and English buff) fiction writers have more on the ball because they are not totally biased about one subject like writers of non-fiction are, so they do their research and it is usually better in the long run. You can learn something about history, science or almost anything else from reading between the lines of a fictional story.
