thursday thirteen, ed. # 3: 13 books
Thirteen Books I've received from PBS (so far!)
So, maybe you've noticed the little "Paper Back Swap" button over on my sidebar, maybe not. Well, I just received notification yesterday and the day before that two more of the books that I've had on my *wish list* (in the PBS system) are now on in route to my house! One of them had a waiting list, and my turn finally came up, woo hoo! There's nothing quite like accumulating good books for practically nothin' (well, the price of sending books that you don't want anymore out to other people who've requested them, at media rate, whereby you accrue "points" to use towards more books of your choice).
The two books now on their way here are "Christianity in Crisis" by Hank Hanegraaff (hardcover ed. even!) and "Abraham Lincoln" by Ingri & Edgar D'Aulaire.
Here's a list of 13 other books I've received from PBS members in the last year (less than a year, but don't remember exactly when I joined?). All of them are AO recommended reads, which the kids and I are reading aloud together:
1. Caddie Woodlawn, by Brink
2. The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald
3. Tales from Shakespeare, by Charles and Mary Lamb
4. 5 Children & It, by Edith Nesbit
5. The Water Babies, by Charles Kingsley
6. At the Back of the Northwind, by George MacDonald (have received 2 of these actually, need to re-list one)
7. The Chosen, by Chaim Potok
8. Farmer Boy, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
9. Little House on the Prairie, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
10. The Long Winter, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
11. On the Banks of Plum Creek, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
12. By the Shores of Silver Lake, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
13. Adam of the Road, by Elizabeth J. Gray

Hi Beth,
I’m sure you remember my struggles over being able to homeschool my son. You helped me understand that I needed to turn it over to God and that’s what I did. It’s been 2 years now, but I’m happy to say that a little over 2 weeks ago, I was able to bring my son home!! God is so good!!! I had meant to let you know sooner, but I’ve been so busy trying to set everything up…time has just flown by. Anyway, if you want to read more about it, go to http://homeschoolblogger.com/allisalley . I hope you are doing well. I will catch up on your blog very, very soon.
Hugs & Blessings,
Alli
