That's how many books Evan counted in his room and the adjoining room (which happens to have many of the school books)! So, anyone want to guess how many we have in our entire house?
I won't even let the little kids look on the 50 cent shelf at the library til we get a new bookcase (not in the plans anytime soon) Yes, homeschoolers have LOTS of books!
Ah, no, no, Jean, I didn't count them all. EVAN counted the, all. That's what he decided to do during room time today. And truthfully, many of those books are his. He dreams of having a house someday with a library (in Scotland, of course).
I bet we have more, but I'll let you win that bet because I don't want to have to count to prove it! I suppose you fancy people keep your books on shelves. We mostly keep ours in piles on the floor since the shelves can't contain them all.
Well, Linda, truth be told our books are frequently in piles as well. We just happened to clean up all the piles for our Christmas parties. Give us another month and they will all be on the floor or on tables throughout the house. More book shelves! We need more book shelves!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll get right on that after I finish the trim in the foyer, remodel the bathroom, install a gas fireplace, put shelves in the shed...
that's a lot of books!
