Thursday Thirteen #24
We check a lot of books out of the library each week, some for school, some for fun. We have 3 cards in our household which means we can have up to 75 books, dvds, cds, or videos checked out at any given time. I think most of the time we come pretty close to being maxed out, and on a few occasions we’ve actually had to pick and chose what to check out due to limited space. Oh for the days we were in Georgia and could check out 50 items per card. Here are 13 books, we currently have checked out.
-
I started this the other day and I’m still not quite sure what I think of it, I keep hoping for that moment when I fall into the story.
-
This book is going to haunt me, I’ve made it 2/3 of the way through and somehow I can’t bring myself to finish it.
-
This was recommended by another homeschool mom and we are excited to give it a try later today. It takes counting on your fingers to a whole new level.
-
We picked this one and the two below up because we have joined a Flat Travelers Group. Miss Muffin really seems to be enjoying the stories and is thrilled to have already mailed out her first 3 travelers.

-
We haven’t started working with this one yet, but the title just called to me. Nothing like experimenting and making a mess while learning.
-
Miss Muffin has really enjoyed the new zoo exhibit modeled after the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, so this lovely book was a no brainer. There are some absolutely gorgeous photos in it.
-
We learned a little about Chinese New Year this year in hopes of tempering the madness of Valentine’s day. It’s a cute story with lots of great factual information and photographs.
-
I’m looking forward to reading this, perhaps I can bribe myself to finish the other 2 by holding off starting this one….
-
Miss Muffin loves the Magic Tree House Series and this one is so fitting for current events. I’m in search of the research guide for this one now.
-
Our girl has read most of these and has even reread a few of the collections. They are such girly girl books, I wonder where she gets it from???
-
The Animal Ark series is another favorite, even though I seriously wondered about them when we read the first one. They border on being too graphic for her, she is such a sweet, tender kid. She really loves animals though and gets a few of these every time we go to the library. I’m sure she’s read them all twice by now.

i m loving this TT
More than just annoyed
I love those magic treehouse books! My son has outgrown them, though. I guess I could still read them, but there is so much on my to-read list already. Like The Time Traveller’s Wife, the Lovely Bones, Shanghai Girls, Witch and Wizard, Dead Time, to name a few that are waiting here for me to read. I’ve got to go to the library today and get another!
I love the library. I am always checking out tons of books.
I read Time Traveler’s Wife last year and really enjoyed it. Hopefully, you find that magical moment too.
Yep, anyone’s card is fair game when we need books!
So this explains all the books on my library card! Our girl has certainly come a long way since that first Dick and Jane.

I’m just going to sit here and cheer your use of the library. Yay! And an extra yay for Flat Stanley.
The first one keep reading it is tough but worth it. I have a review of The Bone Garden on The Library right now if you want to check it out, scroll back a few days. We did Flat Stanley when the kids where younger, now I am homeschooling teens though.
Hope you’ll drop by my blogs for my T13s at The Cafe & The Library.

Finger math intrigues me. I gotta check that out.
I have no idea what the max is at my local library. Maybe I should go find out.

I worked on the Animal Ark Books when I worked at Scholastic!!! What a small world the Internet makes it.
I am the only woman in the world who was not crazy about the Time Traveler’s wife. I also got to meet the authors of The Magic Treehouse.
Enjoy!

We have the entire Magic Treehouse collection in the boys playroom. They’ve been read by two boys and now waiting for the third to learn to read. We love the library too!
Happy T-13.

A varied collection of books there. Mine are pretty varied too.

In our library they only have books in French of course. When I want to read in English we have a shop here with used books in English. Great choice and very cheap.

I have to admit to usually having an overdue. I couldn’t do the Time Travellers Wife, never got into it. The maths and science books look fantastic, I’ve just put in a book order for my 4 year old which included calculator games lol
