Book nerd here! Loved this haul and I feel the same-- my favorite things to buy are books and that hunt gives me such satisfaction! I added a bunch to my various carts and lists while I watched.
The my favorite section in a thrift store is the books. I love finding those treasures. I also love thriftbooks!! Such good recommendations in this video. Had to stop a few times to go add them to my wishlist.
Loved all the books! If your family enjoys animal books, look into the Heartwood Hotel series! We’re reading the last one right now & have really enjoyed all of them. Each book is set in a different season so we read them during the corresponding season & it made it that much more fun!
Love, love, love all the books, too! ♥️ You've got some excellent choices there! Happy reading to your sweet family! Looking forward to seeing your new curriculum choices for the new year! Blessings! 😊
Toliver's Secret was my childhood entry point to historical fiction - great read! Ann Rinaldi is another great young adult author (upper middle and HS aged) for historical fiction. Love it!
I checked RU-vid this evening and was so excited to see that you'd posted a book haul. I seriously love your book haul videos! I'm a sucker for books too and also love the "thrill of the hunt" when looking for books at thrift stores or sales. You're making me want to look closer at Book Outlet as I haven't bought much from them before. Thanks for the recommendations!
So many great finds! I love book Hauls! If you all like fantasy books, I would recommend checking out The Guilded Girl since your girls loved The Little Princess so much.
I have been waiting for this video because my oh my do I love all the books you recommend! After I saw your comeback video I held back on any Amazon order just for this video❤️❤️❤️❤️ yes book outlets is overwhelming and sometime I don’t even know where to start
@@TheHomeschoolConvert we did a whole literature based unit with it and it was a blast. The main character loves radios and, of course, there’s an ocean life component. Tech and aquatic biology are two of my son’s favorite things, so it seemed a natural fit.
I always get good recommendations from your book videos! We have had Little Pear on our shelf for a few years now, looking forward to reading it😃 I just finished up The Lemonade War, ahead of my son. It was good😀 I have a feeling he is going to ask for the rest of the series. Added a few to my wish list. Thanks for your video!!
So many great books! I love Book Outlet. I just placed a huge order too in addition to sourcing used books for next year. I never paid attention to their recommendations but will have to check it out. We loved FIAR but kind of fell by the wayside midway through the year so also plan to pick it up again next year and be more intentional about it.
Definitely look at the recommendations when you’re on a page for a book you’re interested in! I’ve been able to find so many great books that way. I’m really hopeful about being able to use FIAR more intentionally next year. We’re still wrapping up the current school year, but I’m so excited about next year’s choices!
WishTree is technically my daughters first read aloud as I read it out loud when I was pregnant with her so she would hear my voice before I went to sleep and she woke up to party 😆
OMGOSH I have that book Hickory!! I got it when I was in 3rd grade (I'm 51 now) when my grandma got me a subscription to Weekly Reader. I can't get rid of any of those books!!! I love long videos!! I don't buy any new books unless it's from Ollie's...mostly Thrisft Books and Ebay.
The Poppy series is my 6th graders favorite series! He brags about the sensory descriptions constantly! Tolliver's Secret is great! That Audobon book is amazing. You should check out A Nest For Celeste! Animal character, amazing drawings. It's told from a mouse point of view about Audobon. HIGHLY recommend it and it has a sequel. The Illustrator book is awesome! I need to check that out. I have two copies of that Aesop as well! Don't even ask how many Child's Garden Of Verses I have!😅 I love those by different illustrators. George Mueller's story is awesome! It is so faith building. Burgess Bird is really good. We are about a third of the way through. Augustus Ceasar we are using now. My 6th grade son loves it. Our Island Story is a favorite!! You got tons of great books! We have very similar taste!😊❤ Thanks for sharing!!
jess I have watched every video of yours from the beginning and i’m so glad you’re back! some of the books you were showing though were just flashed at the camera and we couldn’t see the cover! however, I did search on my library’s website for some of these books and have placed them on my wish list for next school year 🙂
Yes, it was more rushed than I typically like these videos to be. 😆 I realized that as I was editing, but I just didn’t have the time/bandwidth to do one of my more detailed videos. Even though some people like these big book dumps, I think I’ll feature fewer books next time so that I can spend more time like I usually do. Thanks for sticking with me from the beginning! It means so much!
yes you’re right I do enjoy when you do your flip throughs 🙂 however, I may or may not have been one of the people that voted on IG for a longer video 😬 lol
Based on your books, I'm really wondering if we're using the same morning time curriculum next year. My oldest will be in 3rd grade, too. I just love watching your videos bc I feel like we would get along so well!
I always try to read the first book of a series as a read aloud so if any of my kids really like it they can go on to read the next book themselves. It has really inspired my daughter to pick up books she may not have tried on her own. You have an awesome collection and I took a lot of notes. Is it me or does our read aloud list keep growing no matter how many we read?
It’s endlessly growing!! 😂 I love that idea about reading the first book in the series and letting kids decide if they want to read others independently.
Do you use heart of Dakota? If you don't, you should check it out! A lot of these books are found in that curriculum. We love it so much! Learning through beautiful literature. Ps- I would recommend reading Mary popping ahead of time Tollivers secret is wonderful
@@TheHomeschoolConvert Wonderful! We used it for grade 6 with adjustments. I am too eclectic to use something all in. I will have to search to see if you did a review video on it :)
