About meI am a mother at home who homeschools her two sons aged 8 and 11. My main blog about parenting, homeschooling and books is www.thethinkingmother.blogspot.com. I like to make art for fun and my blog about that is www.christinemmatcs.blogspot.com. I write customer reviews on Amazon and my user name there is ChristineMM. I swap books for free on PaperBackSwap.com under the name ChristineMM.

About my libraryOur family owns over 8000 books and don't know how long it will take me to load them into this account; I have been working on loading the data into an Excel spreadsheet first.

Most of our books are for homeschooling our children. Both my husband and I read for information, self-education and for pleasure and of course our children read for the same reasons. I am a big fan of parents reading aloud to children, we don't just read each to ourselves.

I also own some books that the library does not have available, such as new books about the arts and crafts that I do for fun. We also own a lot of out-of-print books since we know they are hard to find in a library when we want them.

Since we do some 'alternative' things I often have to buy books on the topics since local public libraries often do not have them in circulation. These are books ranging from attachment parenting, homeschooling how-to, alternative education, education reform, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, natural birth, and alternative medicine. Also it includes a bunch of new books on making art and creativity (which I have no clue why the libraries are not buying).
