What's this?

I like books, so it would be a bit redundant to put a "books" section in every single page. All of the other pages have a "books" section that link to here instead. If you decided to visit this page first - just find the section you want!

Because my interests all heavily overlap, it's a bit difficult to pick one definite spot for each item. So, if you see a book and think "why did she put this in this category and not the other one?" I probably mulled over it a lot longer than you ok!!!

Jump!

So, I'm not sure if this is just my browser being weird, but I attempted to re-read some old google books I read before, and it appears there's some kind of glitch where pages repeat in odd places or sometimes entire chapters will repeat in the middle of other random chapters? I know they weren't like that before. I'll try to find alternative links to all the google books.

The Tack Room's Shelf

Just felt the need to add. A lot of these books I read when farm-sitting for an elderly woman who rode aside all her life. She had QUITE the library!! Most of her books aren't even in print anymore. I'd like to try scanning and uploading all her books at some point, but I'm not sure if that will ever be a possibility. I do plan to upload images from my own collection on this site, ideally soon... :)
