• Need to go to the library this weekend :-)

Books I have recently finished reading:

• Foxfire 6
• City People's Guide to Country Living by Betsy & Hubbard Cobb - it's funny how things don't change much - except maybe the cost of things!!
• The Complete Idiot's Guide to Country Living by Kimberley Willis - I figured I would know everything by the time I read this book, but I actually learned a couple of new things.
• Foxfire 5
• American Terroir by Rowan Jacobsen - interesting - more about the tastes of different foods grown in different regions that about growing them
• Foxfire 4
• Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver - EXCELLENT book!!
• The Herbal Home Companion by Theresa Loe
• The New Organic Grower by Eliot Coleman - very informative, easy to read and understand
• Fresh Food from Small Spaces by R.J. Ruppenthal - this is geared more for those still living in the city or suburbs who don't have a lot of space to garden.  Still informative.
• The Joy of Keeping Chickens by Jennifer Megyesi
• Country Acres: Country Wisdom for the Working Landscape by David Larkin
• Savor the Moment by Nora Roberts
• Pearls of Country Wisdom by Deborah S. Tukua - I may purchase these Pearls books (I have found 3 so far)
• Pearls of Garden Wisdom by Deborah S. Tukua & Vicki West
• Pearls of Kitchen Wisdom by Deborah S. Tukua
• The Search by Nora Roberts
• Home Wisdom by Jon Vara & the editors of The Old Farmer's Almanac
• Chicken Tractor by Andy Lee & Pat Foreman
• Back at the Farm by Barbara and Dick Deming
• Raising Poultry the Modern Way by Leonard S. Mercia
• You Can Farm by Joel Salatin - GREAT BOOK
• Hands-On Agronomy by Kinsey & Walters - I didn't finish reading this book - read very much like a science textbook and was way over my head.
• Foxfire 2
• Foxfire 3 - I didn't realize there are 9 of these.  My FIL gave me the first 3 last year and they have a lot of old country lore, how to, and great stories!
• Traditional Country Skills edited by Sheila Buff - was disappointed in this one - thought it would focus more on skills, instead it focused more on buildings and implements throughout the years; had some interesting items in it, but overall a let down
• The Unsettling of America by Wendell Berry - kind of a let down - seems like a very angry person; had a hard time reading it
• Making Your Small Farm Profitable by Ron Macher
