- It's time for a massive homeschool book haul! I love building our homeschool library, and it's been far too long since I've done a giant homeschool book haul. This homeschool book haul is especially exciting because I found some incredible deals on homeschool books at a bi-annual sale put on by our local library organization. I love a good homeschool library haul and am so glad we are able to give these books a home! I'm sure I'll have more homeschool haul videos coming in the near future as we prepare for next school year. What types of homeschool resource hauls would you like to see? Have you added an living books to your shelves lately?

I just recently bought a huge $400+ book haul from my favorite second hand sites. It's so refreshing to know I'm not the only one out there who adores literature.
I use the app Library Thing. You scan in all your books and then they are cataloged just like a library
Most definitely make a Google Docs and share with your husband. Take pics of your shelves and then type up the titles. I don’t have mine in ABC order, I just use the search function to find the book title. Has come in handy so many times when I’m unsure if we own a book or not.
📚😊 We keep running out of bookshelf space! It’s a real problem. You scored some great titles in there!
Time to buy another bookshelf! 😂📚
📚 I just bought 100+ books myself. I would love to see your whole library
I’ve found my people here on CZcams! 📚
You’re wonderful great spirits of books and stay great
I love books. My rising 3rd grader was asking for a dictionary the other day and we found a children’s dictionary at target on clearance. I totally jumped at it.
Love it!
I use the Book Buddy app to remember what books we have! It takes a bit of time to scan them in, buts it’s worth it!
Thanks for the recommendation!
📚Yes, I'm your kind of people. I must admit, I'm more of a skimmer than a reader, but you'd never know from the extensive library I've built for our family. Thanks for the reminder to catalog my books. I started cataloging in Libib a couple years ago, but didn't get more than 100 books entered. Time to try something that encourages me to keep up the process. I've pondered Library Thing, BookBuddy, GoodReads and ... a good old Google spreadsheet. I'm leaning toward an app (for ease of scanning) that can be exported to spreadsheet (for ease of lesson planning with other things I have on a spreadsheet).
I've been tossing around the idea of creating a channel and starting with a library tour and/or book haul (since I do them often). Your 2K views in 11 days is inspiring me to just do it. Thanks for sharing. All the best and much success!!
Thank you so much! 🥰 Love finding my people here! 📚 You should definitely go for it and let me know when you do so I can watch!
Great book sale haul!! 📚 I got some treasures at a library sale in March, too. It’s so great to support the library while also adding some gems to our own home libraries. I’ve been watching your videos for at least a year now and love your content. I hope our home library is as rich as yours as my kiddos get older (3 year old and 10 month old).
Giving our kids time with us to read is such a lifelong gift. I remember reading to my mom when I was younger, and I hope my kids remember the hours and hours we’ve spent reading together!
You are so sweet! Thank you! 🥰 I will always treasure the time reading with my kids. I hope they treasure it too when they become adults and remember back!
📚 you found some great books! I too loved for dystopian novels in high school and am realizing that I didn’t read very many classics growing up. I get so excited when I find classics at book sales for dirt cheap 😊
It’s so thrilling, isn’t it?! I love the hunt. 📚
Totally agree about reading classics with your kids that you didn’t read as a kid or that you just don’t remember well. There’s something special about it.
Yes! I love it so much!
📚these are some of my favorite videos to watch. I love a good book deal!
Yay! Me too! 📚
Love book hauls! If you ever get a Google Doc for your book titles, please share with me LOL!!
Haha, sure thing!
Phantom tollbooth was my favorite as a kid, we are listening to the audio book right now
So fun! It’s so great to revisit old favorites with our kids.
❤❤ East of Eden!
📚 Love a book stack and them reduced too!! ❤
📚♥️
I use LibraryThing for our books! I think we have about 800 cataloged, but I know I don't have them all. I have some antique books that I can't easily catalog because they're not common, but I'm also not likely to purchase duplicates of. If most of your books have barcodes, it's easy to scan them in!
Our local libraries stopped the Friends of the Library big sales ever since 2020 😢 I miss them!
I need to download that app! Really sounds like what I’m looking for based on the feedback I’ve received from several people.
📚 Lots of good finds! How fun!
😁📚
So enjoy your videos! I also love books. I use the LibraryThing app to scan my books ISB code. I always have a way to keep track of my homeschool library. I can also check the app to see if I already have a book when I’m book shopping.
Thank you! I’m so glad! 🥰 A few other people have mentioned that app. O need to download it stat! Sounds so great.
📚 I'd love to have the space for all the books although I'm not bothered about keeping books for me but I love kids books especially ones that look beautiful too.
I'm a sucker for a beautiful children's book!
Thanks so much for sharing! I always look forward to your book hauls!! After watching this, I checked and my area is having a sale similar..🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Oh, awesome! Happy book shopping!
📚 loved watching your book haul!
Yay! Thank you! 📚
I use Libib to keep track of the books I own.
📚 LOVED this video so much!! That was an amazing library sale, and you got some REALLY great titles to fill your shelves with. It's funny because I previously recommended possibly looking into Sonlight, and the whole time I watched this I thought that was so cool how many of these were Sonlight books, too. 😂 Seriously however you go about it, you've got the makings for a very great year of reading with your sweet girls! ❤
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 📚 Now I’ve just gotta make room somewhere for all these books… 😂
@@TheHomeschoolConvert Oh, I can so relate....😄
We did The Crucible. Definitely watch the play after reading. Many of these are on our list. We are going to read 1984 and then A Brave New World. I think it will be interesting to compare/contrast them. I love them both.
📚 Our library does this too and it's coming up in 2 weeks I think. One of my favorite weekends of the year!
It was so much fun to dig through all the books and find such great bargains!
📚 📚 made it to the end …didn’t read other comments but we use Library Thing App to organize books. I pull it up when I am out shopping for second hand books. 👍
Woohoo!! 📚📚 Yes, a couple others recommended it, and it sounds awesome!
📚📚📚 I made it to the end because I also love books. You got some great books!
Yay! Thank you!
I love your book hauls! 📚 Several months ago a neighbor posted on our neighborhood site that she had bought this lot of books (probably over a hundred) and she was only interested in some of them and was giving the rest away. So generous of her! So I went through her table and chose around 30 or so that looked interesting. Later on I found out that I had 5 Landmark books (from the 1950’s and 1960’s). I love these books and had never heard about them. But come to find out many homeschoolers use them as living history books. Even better though, my teenage son also really likes them!
That’s awesome!!
I have heard that Arabian Nights is only appropriate for adults… just a heads up. But maybe the copy you bought was abridged for younger readers.
So many great finds for a steal of a deal! I want a sale like that, haha!!
I spent several hours digging through the selection. So. Many. Books!
Great list, I have added several to my to-read list! One request I would have for future videos, could you hold the book still for a couple seconds for us to see the name? I like to take screen shots as I couldn't write fast enough and ended up having to go back a few times to get the name correctly. Keep up the good work!
Good feedback! I talk with my hands…and then realize as I’m editing how much that means I move books around at times. 😆
AMAZING finds! Your shelves are smiling with all the lovely new books 📚 🤩
It was so fun digging through allllll the books at the sale! 📚
📚 great finds! Im so excited about our library used books sale next week. Hopefully I can get some of the classics you found.
Happy hunting!! 😁📚
I use Libby to keep track of our books. So far it's been super easy! You got some great titles!
It was so fun to dig through all the books!
I share your love of books! Could you share where the bookcase is from? I love your book hauls!
Thank you! It was actually a custom build for the space. It ended up being cheaper to have a carpenter that was working on a different area of our home build exactly what we needed vs buying something pre-made.
Dystopian novel fan here too! :)

What great additions you found for your collection! 😍 To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite book ever.
I just finished reading The Secret Garden to my kiddos I’m preparation for spring followed by the 1993 movie! Talk about nostalgic. 💛
Currently reading 1984 myself. What a fascinating read!! 📚
I love a good nostalgic read! 📚
Awesome Haul! 😍 I just use Goodreads to track my books. Super easy to scan the covers and load into the app! My library has gotten so big that I need to also check my app to see what I have when I’m at a sale!
I definitely need some sort of scanning system!
Im somewhat new here and I'm also charlotte mason leaning eclectic too ! Perfect way to word that .. I am a book collector also. I love to read the classics and assign them to my kids . One of my kids have recently finished both Robinson Crusoe and Treasure island and she LOVED them !! We're planning a trip to Laura Ingeles home in Mansfield, Mo in early summer and, we're gonna try and read as many of her books as we can before we go ! We are literature lovers!
That sounds amazing!! I may keep that idea registered in my brain for future reference!
What a great bunch of books you found! I'm officially jealous. 😅 I use the Book Buddy app to keep track of my books with a simple scan. It has sorting options as well. 📚
Haha! Thanks for the recommendation! 📚
📚
I use Library Thing app. It was quite a task to enter in my whole library but is great now as long as I add them in before I put them on the shelves.
Somebody else commented about that! Sounds awesome!
I have a book shopping problem.....bless you and your family
Thank you! ♥️
I use The Library Thing app. Keeps track of all our books. Scans barcodes for easy entry. I’m able to sort and find what I’m looking for. Cuts down on duplicates because I can search while I’m shopping to check my shelves at home. You can also tell which illustrator or edition you own in case you’re looking for a specific one to add to your collection.
Love that app!
That is genius! I need to download that app!
Code girls is so good. Highly recommend
Sutcliffe wrote wanderings of Odysseus (retelling of the odyssey) and black ships before troy (retelling of the illiad). Both are fantastic. My 11 year old read both this year.
I’m looking forward to reading it myself!
📚📚📚📚
😘😘😘
Oh my gosh!! Such good finds! What library was the sale at? Our Weatherford friends of the library sale never has much of anything so I'm always looking for others to go to.📚
Arlington! The sale was massive!
📚 ❤❤❤❤
♥️♥️♥️
I’d love to be expanding my collection like this! Being military, I just can’t justify having that big of a collection to hold on to 😂📚
Haha, I get that!!
📚📚📚❤
♥️♥️♥️
If she likes dystopian novels she should look into Hugh Howey, the series that starts with ‘wool’ is VERY good.
I know it’s very controversial because of the show and the people who’ve picked it up as a banner of sorts. But ‘handmaids tale’ is a great dystopian book, I really enjoyed reading it. 📚
Thank you for the recommendation!

Hi!! Thanks for subscribing and making it to the end! 🥳
Honestly I hear so many CZcams homeschool people wanting to do American history or government next year to pair with the election and I think I’m going to stay clear. My kids are already going to get a biased education for me, they don’t need me to teach them American history or government while everything is hot.
I’m definitely not trying to line anything up with the election. Keira needs her American history credit for high school though, as well as government and economics. We’re doing history this year and the other two the following year. Not intentionally lining it up by any means, but it’s just how the cookie crumbled.
We did The Crucible. Definitely watch the play after reading. Many of these are on our list. We are going to read 1984 and then A Brave New World. I think it will be interesting to compare/contrast them. I love them both.
I’m looking forward re-reading all these dystopian novels in preparation of discussions with Keira’s assigned reading!
