I have bought a number of cookbooks over the past year. They are:

• Good Eats: The Early Years
• Bakewise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking with Over 200 Magnificent Recipes
• Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods
• Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking
• Under Pressure
• Alinea

Unfortunately, they have remained on my breakfast table instead of residing in the bookshelf. I am now motivated to place them where they belong. However, the bookshelf is already full. So books must be kicked out.
