Thanks Rue! I was going to go take a nap, but now I can’t sleep! I have a task to go count my books!! 🙂

Number of Books I Own: ~150 (that’s just mine. K’s and Toby’s probably brings the total to ~400. We use to have a lot more, but we are trying to get rid of half of what we own in an attempt to simplify our lives)

Last Book I Bought: Entertaining and Educating Your Preschool Child – an Usborne Parents Guide, 365 Days of creative Play for Children 2 Years and Up – Sheila Ellison, et al, Homeschooling for Dummies – Jennifer Kaufeld. I ordered all three at the same time. Obviously, I am trying to get a little bit of a clue as to what I am doing homeschooling K.

Last Book I Read: Well, I can’t remember the last one I finished. I am currently trying to finish three: The Village Herbalist – Nancy and Michael Phillips (really great book! I wish I had more time to devote to reading it!), If You Like My Apples: A Simple Guide to Biodynamic Gardening – Clue Tyler Dennis and Luke Miller (Way too basic so far! I hope it gets better!) , and Home Learning Year by Year : How to Design a Homeschool Curriculum from Preschool Through High School – Rebecca Rupp (haven’t read much yet, but it seems good so far).

Books That Mean A Lot To Me: 1- I have an old copy of The Prophet – Kahlil Gibran that I really like. I remember seeing this book on my dads bookshelf when I was a kid. Then, when I was a junior in high school one of the lunch ladies gave me a copy and told me I should read it well. I did and was very thankful for her. It’s a great book with a beautiful message and I have to open it every now and then to remind myself about being a good person. 2- Some of you may agree with me and some of you may think I’m a looney, but I really love my Harry Potter Series J.K. Rowling. They are such fun books to read, but they also remind me not to forget about the magic out there. I wrote a letter to JK to thank her for sharing her gift with the world and she wrote me back!! So, I keep her letter in one of the books.

OK Time for the Tag!: Have any of you done this yet??
