I just want to give the Koren Sacks Siddur some love. I'm a Conservative Jew, but when I first started davening at home regularly, I ended up using Koren. I initially owned a few Artscroll Siddurim, but I always found their layout to be very busy, difficult to follow and their translations/commentary very… pointed, often not in a way with which I could agree. I heard positive stuff about Koren and decided to give it a whirl, and really, it's a great Siddur. The typefaces are excellent, the translation is great (and much more user friendly, I think, than the one in Siddur Sim Shalom, which is the other Siddur I use regularly)… it's just very well done. Highly recommended, whether you're an Orthodox convert or not.
I also really like Blu Greenberg's How To Run a Traditional Jewish Household. I've been meaning to get a copy of the Sefer Chofetz Chaim; maybe I'll splurge on that and Days of Awe prior to High Holy Days.

I thought for a second that the picture was of one of my bookcases.
