About me I really love my books, and cataloging them has lead to some interesting discoveries. Mainly, the number of books which are unique to my collection is staggering, or does everyone think that, and notice the same thing with their libraries, I wonder? Occasionally I'll check on some of these unique treasures, to see if maybe another LTer has listed it. I've collected most of my books in the last fifteen years, as a result of teaching my kids myself, and wanting them to have good books around. I do have some older books from my childhood, that I am thrilled I still have for their own sakes, and to share with my children.
About my library Lots of Catholic books, or with the Catholic tag. Lots of children's vintage fiction and non-fiction "living books", illustrated by inspired illustrators. I have quite a few books of Norwegian folk tales, crafts, and customs; books by Norwegian authors, mainly Sigrid Undset. Lots of English village novels by authors like Miss Read, Angela Thirkell, Margery Sharp, and Rumer Godden, and my husband's Patrick O'Brien's. Now I am going through my books yet again, to find the best of the best, and pass on the rest, so my collection will not be so unweildy, as in taking over the house.

Yes, my Ball Blue Book has that same subtitle.

I just added an Ann Bridge book that you also have -- noticed that you have several but because of your omnibus edition and I suppose just the general difficulty of finding Ann Bridge books, this is the first we have in common (and you have a cover picture, but mine's an old orange Penguin, so I have to scan my own this time). I've read more of Ann Bridge's books than I actually own. I especially enjoy the Julia novels. Bridge readers are pretty scarce so it's nice to find another, and yet another similarity in our libraries.

It does sound like we have similar circumstances! I do have six kids, love being Catholic and love books, but am not homeschooling any longer. I'm finding LT to be quite a draw also. It's pretty fun!

Barbara Cooney is an excellent illustrator and I like her books also, although I don't have very many.
Cordially,
Laura

I see that you're a Catholic homeschooler; you might enjoy the following blogs by Sally Thomas, a writer who is also a Catholic homeschooler herself!
