  • It's time for a massive homeschool book haul! I love building our homeschool library, and it's been far too long since I've done a giant homeschool book haul. This homeschool book haul is especially exciting because I found some incredible deals on homeschool books at a bi-annual sale put on by our local library organization. I love a good homeschool library haul and am so glad we are able to give these books a home! I'm sure I'll have more homeschool haul videos coming in the near future as we prepare for next school year. What types of homeschool resource hauls would you like to see? Have you added an living books to your shelves lately?

    I just recently bought a huge $400+ book haul from my favorite second hand sites. It's so refreshing to know I'm not the only one out there who adores literature.

    📚😊 We keep running out of bookshelf space! It’s a real problem. You scored some great titles in there!

  • @staceydavis9195
    @staceydavis9195 ปีที่แล้ว

    Most definitely make a Google Docs and share with your husband. Take pics of your shelves and then type up the titles. I don’t have mine in ABC order, I just use the search function to find the book title. Has come in handy so many times when I’m unsure if we own a book or not.

    I use the app Library Thing. You scan in all your books and then they are cataloged just like a library

    📚 I just bought 100+ books myself. I would love to see your whole library

    📚Yes, I'm your kind of people. I must admit, I'm more of a skimmer than a reader, but you'd never know from the extensive library I've built for our family. Thanks for the reminder to catalog my books. I started cataloging in Libib a couple years ago, but didn't get more than 100 books entered. Time to try something that encourages me to keep up the process. I've pondered Library Thing, BookBuddy, GoodReads and ... a good old Google spreadsheet. I'm leaning toward an app (for ease of scanning) that can be exported to spreadsheet (for ease of lesson planning with other things I have on a spreadsheet).
    I've been tossing around the idea of creating a channel and starting with a library tour and/or book haul (since I do them often). Your 2K views in 11 days is inspiring me to just do it. Thanks for sharing. All the best and much success!!

    Great book sale haul!! 📚 I got some treasures at a library sale in March, too. It’s so great to support the library while also adding some gems to our own home libraries. I’ve been watching your videos for at least a year now and love your content. I hope our home library is as rich as yours as my kiddos get older (3 year old and 10 month old).
    Giving our kids time with us to read is such a lifelong gift. I remember reading to my mom when I was younger, and I hope my kids remember the hours and hours we’ve spent reading together!

    • @TheHomeschoolConvert
      @TheHomeschoolConvert  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I use LibraryThing for our books! I think we have about 800 cataloged, but I know I don't have them all. I have some antique books that I can't easily catalog because they're not common, but I'm also not likely to purchase duplicates of. If most of your books have barcodes, it's easy to scan them in!
    Our local libraries stopped the Friends of the Library big sales ever since 2020 😢 I miss them!

It's funny because I previously recommended possibly looking into Sonlight, and the whole time I watched this I thought that was so cool how many of these were Sonlight books, too. 😂 Seriously however you go about it, you've got the makings for a very great year of reading with your sweet girls! ❤

    I love your book hauls! 📚 Several months ago a neighbor posted on our neighborhood site that she had bought this lot of books (probably over a hundred) and she was only interested in some of them and was giving the rest away. So generous of her! So I went through her table and chose around 30 or so that looked interesting. Later on I found out that I had 5 Landmark books (from the 1950’s and 1960’s). I love these books and had never heard about them. But come to find out many homeschoolers use them as living history books. Even better though, my teenage son also really likes them!

    Great list, I have added several to my to-read list! One request I would have for future videos, could you hold the book still for a couple seconds for us to see the name? I like to take screen shots as I couldn't write fast enough and ended up having to go back a few times to get the name correctly. Keep up the good work!

    I use The Library Thing app. Keeps track of all our books. Scans barcodes for easy entry. I’m able to sort and find what I’m looking for. Cuts down on duplicates because I can search while I’m shopping to check my shelves at home. You can also tell which illustrator or edition you own in case you’re looking for a specific one to add to your collection.

One of my kids have recently finished both Robinson Crusoe and Treasure island and she LOVED them !!
