Titles from the home library

Family history, mentions, and background materials

Books read or purchased away from home

Human origins, evolution, genetics, anthropology

Listened to most already through public libraries, subscription libraries, Librivox, or own physical copy. Home library does contain physical audio media or print book of most of these titles.

Includes: favorites to read again, others to read again to refresh, unfinished reading, and books where only selections were read

These I did not finish, but hope to later. Mostly, just read parts for research or returned loaners before finished

Domestic science, home economics, cooking, woodworking, metalworking, needlework, homesteading, farming, pet care, gardening, nutrition, handicrafts, housekeeping

Books originally shelved with our recordings

Books that piqued my interest when described by others

Items in database that are empty or junk to suggest for deletion. In some cases, there are EDITIONS that are ready to delete, not the whole work.

Poorly researched, weak conclusion, rambling, or any of the other reasons a reader may regret investing the time in a work

Recently donated to friends or libraries, removed from home library. Hundreds of older titles I cannot recall were donated after friends selected titles they desired at our library fundraiser high tea parties at my home.

The ship is sinking. You have only time to collect about 25 books into a small trunk to sustain you. Which books do you pack? Why those books?
