It's what I'm learning to do more and more as we homeschool along. The books on our list have been sourced in, well over, 20 years of me buying , trading, and fossicking through many used book sales so please just ignore the titles you can't get or source more easily - using what one can find or already has makes life so much more relaxed.

While we make good use of our local library I prefer to use what we have off our own shelves first. We often get asked for the titles of the New Zealand based literature and referencing books we are using during our home educating journey so we typed up the pdf, linked below, as a help - hopefully - for others.
