Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Recommended Resources Horrible Book order going in

I learned about Ray and the Horrible books through this site. I'm sure that as a lot of new people joined up this school year, they may not all be familiar with Horrible Histories, Murderous Maths, etc. These are books available in the UK, but Ray (www.horriblebooks.com) makes a few orders each year. He's getting ready to place another order (the 27th if I recall) so I wanted to mention it.

No relation to Ray (just a happy customer). The books have been a huge hit here at home so passing it along.

My kids love the Horrible Histories too!

We've cobbled them together through Amazon used book sales; this appears to be a much simpler way to get them!

Thanks for the info, JBDad!

Yes - thanks JB Dad! I just emailed Ray with an order. (PM me if you want me to mention your name to Ray, in case you get some credit)

I'm intrigued by the history books, but has anyone used them as a base for homeschool history? I'm still debating our history plan for the year (not good - I know). Luckily DS8 is taking a co-op history class on the Medieval era this fall, so I'm not feeling terribly pressured to get a lot of history done right now.

JBDad -- Ditto re: let me know if you get credit from Ray. I just emailed him this morning.

Thanks for the offer! Just happy to pass along a resource that we've been very happy with.

He's the kind of guy that when our DS accidentally ripped a page out of the book (enthusiastically solving some math maze puzzle), Ray scanned me the page and sent it to me electronically. Great guy.

Ok, since I think I am single-handedly financially supporting Amazon.com (or at least paying for the CEO's teenager's orthodontia), I need to be a little selective about buying more books . . .
What are your top choices?

The murderous maths books have been a home run with our mathy DS6. He's only ready three of them, but I'm sure he'll have them all read eventually.

Between my wife and the kids, we have our own library!

I am not sure how it works out for shipping to US, but right not, they are having promotions for mega packs which works out to very attractive savings for my friends in Asia if they order 2 mega packs (not exceeding a certain weight). U can email them and find out more. Also when u add the items to the cart, u can see the shipping price changes to decide how much it worthwhile.
