Re: New Books
RoD and the MH are generally considered pretty lackluster books. Maybe Draconomicon?
Thanks to Veera for the avatar.
I keep my stories in a blog. You should read them.

Re: New Books
You're missing Complete Divine, maybe that'd be useful. Unearthed Arcana is good I hear, but then, most of it is on the SRD so you may not want to bother. You have Complete Psionic but not XPH? Wow. Bad idea. Also, personally, I'd get Races of Stone much rather than Races of Destiny - Illumians strike me as utterly uninteresting, whereas Goliaths look like awesome. I think I'd get good use from it, considering I like both Dwarves and Gnomes, too.

Re: New Books
No one inour group uses Divine magic and no body really wants to, unfortunately.
Own it, pwn it, nuke it, sheep it, eat it, quick re -right it, Joe it, turn it, turnip, pimp it, gimp it, dot it, rock it, spec re - spec it...

Re: New Books
Depends whether you want stuff as a player or a DM. I like Dungeonscape, and the other environment books (Cityscape, Stormwrack, Frostburn and umm... SandyCrack? I forget what the desert one's called) seem to be popular.
If you like Libris Mortis, the other enemy specific books like Lords Of Madness and the Fiendish Codices would be a good place to start. I'm not a huge fan of Dragonomicon, but I think I'm in the minority there.
You seem to be missing Complete Divine and Complete Champion. While the former is probably the weakest of the Completes IMO (other than Complete Psionic, which doesn't actually exist), people tend to get a lot of use out of them.
I don't like the Races Of... books, but you may do. The stuff in the Miniatures Handbook is mostly reproduced elsewhere I think, with only the Healer and Marshall (probably the least popular of base classes) being unique. I'm not sure though, as I don't own that one.

Re: New Books
if i were you , I'd go with the magic item compedium and dungeonscape. The MIC is very cool, lots of nifty magic items to be found within it's pages. I found dungeonscape to be incredibly useful as well.
