I love your list of books. My library is not as extensive but I loved seeing some of the books I own and some that are on my list to own. And now I have more to add to my list. LOL
Great list!
I started cataloging my library and only got through part of the books that are still unshelved and two shelves (out of six bookcases) done.
Our lists have quite a few volumes in common (check out my compendium at http://wp.me/p9erV-Oj) and even more in common I haven’t listed yet, but there are some interesting titles you’ve cited I have a real hankering for, like “The Essential Guide to Herbal Safety.” Sounds like something no natural witch should be without!
I’m encouraged to continue the re-organization of my library and documenting the contents. At some point, I’m going to add a column indicating the texts I find to be of the highest value; I am of the opinion that one should read all texts, even those deemed to be of little to no value by others, so I can form my own decision on such matters, and thus my library runs a wide gamut of “quality” and I can easily defend my likes and dislikes.
Thanks for sharing your “likes.”
