Does anyone homeschool or just need books for your children to read? I have a fair amount just hanging out in my basement. I was in the classroom for many years and am now consulting but have a bunch of "good stuff" waiting for a home.

OK...That's one bookshelf done! Many of these books may have worn covers and my last name on the front or side. The sets are most likely numbered. Some also have numbers on the inside cover that indicate the grade level of reading and the point value associated with a computer program called AR.
Price...well, I hand't really thought about it. I have no idea how much it will cost to mail but I'd like to recoup that. Otherwise, I'm willing to barter for your favorite Texas Sheet Cake recipe or a yummy bar of homemade soap or a hand knit dishcloth...let's chat! Thanks for reading....

Oh wonderful...my kids were just telling me the other day that we are missing those from our collection. I tend to buy one or two over and over and miss some. I needed to write them down. I will happily barter with any of you...embroidered goodies or knitted dishcloths.

No little house books (but I'll ask my friend if she has those and is willing to part with them). No Animal Farm or 1984 (in fact I was in the bookstore looking for 1984 just the other day)
Let me try to get a list posted. Perhaps that will narrow down the multiple requests and then we can see what's what. I'm out of town all day tomorrow but check back on Sunday for the list! I probably should have done that one in the first place. Live and learn! ;)
I am grateful. I have enough. |
