My Bookshelf

People often ask what I read.  I posted my occult, metaphysical & witchcraft collection recently on Facebook; thought I would share here too.

My friend Lorilei Plecas Thompson passed on this past year; her husband Bradley Thompson offered her books up to those who could use them. I added some of her things to the collection I had already acquired for myself and from The Threads That Bind Us‘ library collection. This is after much weeding!  The weeded books (more basic stuff or things I have doubles of) are going to be used in some way to benefit the community.
