We both recently said goodbye to homeschooling (as my homeschooler is in college and her youngest is in the Marines).<br /><br />She now regretted getting rid of so many of her kid's books since they are now difficult to find. I held on to most of mine, which are now being used by my homeschooling daughter. <br /><br />My son's favorite books are in his room or in a box, waiting for his children to come along. They are now both happy I get attached to books. :)Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-79907039109215025402011-03-08T21:57:38.687-05:002011-03-08T21:57:38.687-05:00I never really thought about this, but I think I a...I never really thought about this, but I think I agree. I remember being a big reader, constantly reading while growing up, but there really weren't many books in our house. I have very few, ok almost no, books from my childhood, in fact. But I read constantly as a child. <br /><br />And yes, the libraries are not so great anymore. I find that they, too, buy those based on TV/movie books and new series with their limited funds. We just can't find the old classical children's literature at our library. Maybe that's why I have a "library" in my own home.;0)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710205217819146347noreply@blogger.com
