Blogect: Sorted Books

Inasmuch as I find "blog" to be an ugly word, I think "blogect" is cute.

I found this project on Homeschooled Twins blog and thought it was really a fun idea. As I am not the fun homeschooler, I kept the idea for myself rather than share it with my child as Shez suggested (okay, I’ll share it with the wee lass later today.)


Here are just a few sorted books in my home right now.



The secret of my success:


The worry and wisdom of middle-age:


And a political one for good measure:


Now that I look these over, I might have to change the order of the titles for clarity (and work on better lighting).

Most importantly, I have to restack those books!

If you try your hand at sorted books, post your efforts and let me know.

Looks like you had fun. I love "the secret to your success". LOL. We were planning on doing more of them today, but Shira's temp is running over 103F and her throat is very painful. It's time to have a rapid strep test done on her.

Take care and may happy book sorting be in your immediate future.

As we stayed at the Seaport Hotel at the beginning of the week when we knew almost no one, we didn’t take advantage of the social atmosphere, but were happily sequestered in our room. After getting to know a few people, we dined, drank, and were generally merry with those few. Through the classes, general sessions, and referenced symposiums (in the ancient Greek sense), I left with a calmer sense of purpose, renewed motivation, and a smoldering desire to make the world a better place. By firmly placing the moral foundation under the tremendous achievements of the Founding Fathers first in my own mind, I then hope to help do so in the minds of others who have chosen the fundamental alternative to live, turning that smolder into a bonfire. One of the most immediately motivating things I learned at OCON this week regards the light tha

There's No Place Like Home

Vacation was fun, but I like being home. I guess I'm just boring that way. There was plenty of sun, sand, salt water kisses, family, food, and fun. Maybe it was the lack of tutus and tiaras. Now we're all experiencing a slight vacation hangover and need to rest. It's a good thing we have a few days before work and school.
