Sounds like maybe you're working through the difference between a Works Cited page and a Bibliography.
Works Cited pages are, as the title suggests, lists of the sources actually cited in the work. Bibliographies include all the sources the author consulted in writing the new work, whether they were directly referenced or not. This is based on the idea that the books contributed to the author's understanding of the topic, even if they weren't directly used.
Different fields have different conventions re. whether to use Works Cited or Bibliography.
