I love literature based learning, but I completely agree that it has to be limited in order to work for our family. I cannot do a literature based language arts, history and science. I have several children and it just becomes too much. Last year and this coming year I chose to do literature-based history and it's been great. This coming year I'm going to do a literature based science as well, but with only one main book as our spine. I may or may not get some additional library books to go with each topic. We also use audiobooks while we are driving a lot. I recently discovered that I could get hoopla through my library, download books to my phone and listen to them in the van. So excited about this option!
