Book List

Books have been my teachers, my friends, my joys, my escapes since I was a little child. In elementary school, back before there were the lovely ILS systems I work on now, the librarian would write up your title and due date on a card that had your name on it. If you filled up both sides of the card, she would staple a new one on top and begin again.

Needless to say, I had many, many cards stacked together each year.

My kids and I try to go to the library every Saturday. Not only do they enjoy perusing the shelves--okay, so my son likes the light table and my daughter only looks at graphic novels--but then I get to see the titles I am not prepared for, now that I am not the one ordering the books anymore. I do miss that. This also gives me a review of the titles I want to add to my permanent collection.

This is what I have in my stack this week:

Mortal Groove: A Jane Lawless Mystery, Ellen Hart

To Buy or Not To Buy Organic, Cindy Burke

The Witch is Dead: An Ophelia and Abbey Mystery, Shirley Damsgaard

Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables, Mike and Nancy Bubel

Putting Food By, Janet Greene, Ruth Hertzberg and Beatrice Vaughn

The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan

Growing Midget Vegetables at Home, Grant & Holly Gilmore

And last but not least, my indulgence purchase yesterday:

Home Cheese Making, Ricki Carroll
