More books I've bought


Some new books have arrived that haven’t been reported….er, posted.

Learning all the Time  by John Holt

New Books!!!

Two new books have arrived today!  I'm not going to post the covers because, quite frankly, I don't know an easy way to do it, and last time it took me a very. long. time.
Anywho, the new books.....

The Joyful Home Schooler and The Relaxed Home School, both by Mary Hood, PhD.
I am SUPER excited to read these books, and they are going on the top of the "to be read next" pile.

Books bought in 2012

Sooooo, 3 new books came in the mail today, and I know I've got more coming.  I've decided that keeping track of the books I buy this year will be a good idea for two reasons.
  1. To see how many of them we actually read.
  2. To see how many books I buy (and how much money I spend on them).
The ones that came today are

This one actually came from PaperbackSwap.com, so I didn't have to pay for it.


 


I've also bought several books for my Kindle lately.  Don't judge me.  As I'm sure these lists will prove, I buy books in bursts, depending on what my interests are and what's going on around our home.  I also usually search the library first.  Unfortunately our local library doesn't have a lot in the way of homeschooling/unschooling books.  And some books are just cheaper to own than to keep paying late fees for.  : )
I already feel like this is a really good idea.  I've already bought enough books to last me a few months, which I wouldn't have realized had I not listed them out.
