Stack of books

As  I was checking out yet a couple more books tonight at work, it occurred to me that a lot could be learned of my current interests from the list of books that I have currently checked out.  I realized after I downloaded this picture that I took, that I left out 2 other craft books that were scattered in a different area of the room than normal.  So these can be clumped into a couple broad areas of interest or sorted out into many other categories (subject headings in library speak).  In what ways would you organize these?
Here's the list in no particular order:

• The new low-maintenance garden: How to have a beautiful, productive garden and the time to enjoy it by Valerie Easton
• Organic beauty: look and feel gorgeous the natural way by Josephine Fairley
• Absolute Beauty: radiant skin and inner harmony through the ancient secrets of Ayurveda by Pratima Raichur
• How to start making money with your crafts by Kathryn Caputo
• The complete book of Ayurvedic home remedies by Vasant Lad.
• Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath
• Self-promotion for the creative person by Lee Silber
• Preserve it edited by Lynda Brown
• Heat Wave by Richard Castle (the lone fiction book in the group, and yes the book featured in the television series Castle)
• Retro Mania!: 60 hip handmade cards, scrapbook pages, gifts and more! by Judi Watanabe et. al.
• Complete guide to container gardening by Better Homes and Gardens
• Edible: a celebration of local foods by Tracey Ryder and Carole Topalian
• Nourishing traditions: the cookbook that challenges politically correct nutrition and the diet dictocrats by Sally Fallon (an interlibrary loan book)

The books that I left out of the photo:

• Sew pretty Christmas homestyle by Sew Pretty (checked out for it's patterns in the back)
• The new handmade: simple sewing for the contemporary style by Cassie Barden

Expect me to refer to these in future posts.  Some of these are better than others.  For instance Nourishing Traditions is massive and I'll never read it all. I wasn't impressed by the Organic Beauty, specially not after browsing through Absolute Beauty.  The complete home remedies Aryuvedic book would probably be good for a serious practitioner; I got it mainly out of curiosity when grabbing the Absolute Beauty one.  The 2.0 book I haven't actually looked at yet.  According to book reviews it's not very helpful unless you buy the book so you can get the password for the online quiz. . .  

So enjoy the list.  If I was nice, considerate blogger tonight, I would link all these titles to Amazon for you.  But being as it's 11:00 pm. and I really should head to bed now, I will just assume that if a title strikes your fancy you know how to head over to Amazon or Barnes and Noble website and search the reviews for these books. 

Looking at this list of mostly hardcover and some relatively new books I should really add up the prices and see what kind of savings I'm storing up from using my local library.  Of course, I highly doubt I would currently have half as many of these books if I wasn't working there every day.  :)
