Mooch My Books!

I spent the first few days of this year working on a list of learning objectives for 2008. Nothing too regimented, since we’re still sort of un-schooling in our own semi-organized way, but it’s nice to have an idea of the types of things we should be bringing in to focus as life happens.

So, I got out the quarter million homeschooling books I picked up over the years, and went through them to see if I could find more ideas and concepts that might fit in our year. And I realized I have way too many of these books and it’s actually making things harder instead of easier.

So to winnow out some that don’t work for me, and to make some room in my bookcases, I thought I might eBay some books. But then I found BookMooch, and thought that might be more fun. I must have some good books, because people are mooching them almost as soon as I list them, though I’ve only found a few books that I really want available.

I’ll be adding more homeschool resource books, and preschool workbooks we never got around to using, in the next few days (I don’t want to add them too fast, since I could bankrupt myself with shipping!), so if you’re looking for some freebies, sign up for Bookmooch, set your settings to ship internationally or at least to ‘ask first’ (if you’re in the US) and add me as a friend.

It would be really great to see lots more homeschoolers using Bookmooch to get rid of previous year’s curriculum and resources, and pick up next year’s at the same time.
