I already have eight. But I need another one. Does this constitute an addiction?
I have been trying hard to buy books electronically (last count was 56 books on my kindle) but there are just some books that have to be real. And I really did try and cull the books, I took about 10 boxes to the book exchange.
Since we renovated last July, I have collected another 4 shelves of books, and as they have no home at the moment, they are stacked beside my bed, beside my reading chair, in a basket beside my reading chair, on the coffee table in the lounge-room, on my desk, on the floor beside my desk.
I am not sure where this new book case will go.
Maybe challenging myself to read 100 books in 2013 was not helping this addiction? I see a trip to IKEA in my immediate future.

I have four bookshelves, both double stuffed and overflowing, but no matter how much I weed I never seem to get the numbers back to a reasonable amount. I guess it's the nature of the beast.
ReplyDeleteI think they not only breed Kellie, but bring all their relatives to live too! As far as addictions go, there are worse ;-)
DeleteI am having a library put into our new home - this I hope will cover my addition.
ReplyDeleteYou hope!! How about we just add a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom to a library!
DeleteDamn you have 8 bookcases? Thats a lot of books! Why don't you trade some at the 2nd hand store and get some new reads? Then again, maybe you should just donate some to the op shops!
ReplyDeleteI would love a whole floor dedicated to books like an at home library. Preferrably at the top of the stairs with a big comfy chair and lamp to sit and read for hours.
Ah Michelle, a few things to say - I am a lot older than you, more time to collect, I tried a cull and did take away a LOT of books, but I just cant part with any I have now, and I don't collect shoes, or handbags or anything else (well apart from blue gin bottles) so I think I have a controlled addiction ;-).
DeleteIs it really too much? :-)
I so wish I had more time to read, I only read e books, as storage is an issue for me to. Maybe when I retire xxx
