About my libraryHeavy on mysteries, Judaica, writing, linguistics, and old Quaker books, with a smattering of cookbooks, history, and science fiction (mostly Star Trek in the owned collection). For relaxation/vegging out, I have a weird fascination with time travel and certain saga-type romances.

I've kept my categories fairly broad, so that cookbooks includes not only straight cookbooks but other books about food. When I have everything catalogued, I may go back and add more refinement. (Added note: my tags are already getting more detailed. So much for keeping things simple.....)

On ratings: for the most part, I only buy/keep books that I like and/or know that I will use more than once (libraries are for the others), so my standard rating for books I own is probably somewhere in the 2.5 range. Books with a 1 are mostly those I bought because I am interested in the topic and would like to have fairly comprehensive collection for the topic but I was disappointed in the actual book.

Hi - saw your post regarding The Accidental Florist at the Worst Books thread. Actually, I thought the previous two were so bad that this one was a marginal improvement ... think D- to a solid D.

You have a wonderful collection of Judaica. There are so many books there to add to my own TBR list. Thanks!

Seeing we own a book in common--true Baptism and Communion a very small hard back pamphlet. I know my great grandmother (Susannah Morris) was Quaker and withdrawn from when she married my g grandfather David Owen Randolph, Musgingham (?) Co., Ohio. I believe this may have been her book. Do you have any info date of publication or about Phipps?? Do you have family info on Quaker in that area??

Oh good. I thought there ought to already be a Philadelphia group, but I didn't find it when I searched.

I was very impressed with your Judaica collection. I noted that the tag appeared twice, one tag indicated 129 books, and the other 139 books. It also indicated that we had 13 books in common, but when I attempted to view them, I sawnone of them an got an error message. I did go through the entire catagory and found it quite different from my Judaism listing. I did pick some titles that I would like to own. You also have an interesting homepage.

Great collection. I was intrigued by the wonderful Judaica and the Quaker and others until I read your blog which helped explain things.
