Gardening Books Obsession

I still find it hard to believe that around this time last year, we started gardening for the very first time!  Both my husband and I have parents who are avid gardeners, and growing up, neither of us were too interested in gardening at all.  In fact, when I was a teenager, I avoided it like the plague.  For me, I was never interested because my dad always made me do the chores that I absolutely hated.    Like weeding, watering the plants, digging up bulbs, and raking leaves.  I hated those chores, and STILL DO!  Haha.  However, nowadays I realize how important these chores are, so despite hating them, I do them because I want a nice garden.  I looked up when I wrote my first garden post on this blog, and I just had my one year blogaversary.  March 14th, 2010 was my very first entry!  Back then, we knew nothing about gardening, really everything was a hands-on learning experience and reading all YOUR gardening blogs.  The gardening blogsphere is so knowledgeable!  In no time flat, I became totally and completely obsessed with learning as much as I could about gardening.  I became a complete sponge.  This time last year, we owned one book, "Garden Primer".  It's still my favorite, and go-to resource. Fast forward one year and now we have this stack! 

Last week, the hubs received this book to add to our collection as a birthday gift from his brother and girlfriend.  I'm looking forward to reading "I Garden: Urban Style", and hope to get some good tips.  I was also happy to see some familiar garden blogger faces profiled in the book, like this guy, and this guy.  What are your favorite gardening / preserving books.  What do you recommend we get next?
