To give you an indication of some of my collection I thought I would share a picture. Here are five of the six bookshelves in our home. I am very blessed with a husband who is happy to indulge my attachment to anything that vaguely looks like a book. This collection has grown over 15 years and mainly through Sonlight, op-shops, second hand book shops and library sales. My greatest hurdle was trying to figure out how to distinguish twaddle free literature from the mirades of books available these days.
When I first started I collected books that I had borrowed from the library and enjoyed. Years ago as I embarked on my home educating journey much to my joy and surprise I discovered some excellent resources for twaddle free literature. With this discovery arrived my

Welcome to Tuesdays Treasures. I started these posts as a way of sharing great books in honour of my friend in New Zealand who would arrive with the treasures she had unearthed at her weekly trip to the library!

There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I
invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one
you found at the library. Grab the button for your post and add a link
to your post below. I would love to read about your treasures.
Sonlight books are a favorite in our house. I have collected them and my daughter has read them all. She's doing the entire curriculum just because she loves to read.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun watching them enjoy books :) There has only been a couple of books we have not enjoyed from Sonlight.
DeleteNow you know I love the bookroom picture:):)
ReplyDeleteand some recommended books we haven't read!:) Very honoured to have made your book list resource, you inspire me to update that sadly neglected space. I wan;t sure anyone read it.
Erin only a book lover like you could fully appreciate my shelves. I was so blessed by my Dad when he made them for me. They are floor to ceiling height.
DeleteI would love for you to link your books to my weekly treasure link up as you add them to your site. I love how organized it is
Okay, I thought we owned a lot of books. You have officially blown us out of the water.=) I love your lists of favorites. I might look some of them up.
ReplyDeleteBernadette I surprised myself when my daughter decided to count them I really didn't think that there were that many there !
