I was wondering if I just went totally out of control since I started my blog? I know when I started I had one bookshelf almost full, now I have books everywhere, under my bed , shelves triple stacked. And now with my Kindle I have almost 400 books on there. It's insane. I would need to read 24 hours away for months to read all I have.
So how about you? Are your shelves overflowing like mine, are you running out of room and for those with a Kindle or any ereader how much have you added to that?
Maybe we should start a book addiction or more like book buy addiction club.

Donna to be quite honest of course my book addiction exploded when really got into blogging in 2009. My shelves were, and still are now that have restocked them after losing hundreds in last years fire, so full that they were triple shelved on the MMPB's on both the to be read and read already book shelves.
ReplyDeleteSince getting my Kindle in late March of 2011 it has almost 2000 books on it, that and my Android phone and my Cloud Reader as am a sucker for certain have to buy authors as well as all the Amazon free reads that I have accumulated. Sad to say have enough books between my reader and my physical books to last me 10 years or so probably.
Will I stop clicking buy on the Kindle or going to the used book store or buying online when can get sales cheaper than buying new book from brick and mortar stores? Of course not, I am an addict who cannot stop hoarding my to be reads any time in the near future!
The day I am having today, I just might end up buying more just to calm myself down LOL.
DeleteBut seriously I can't resist those freebies, I try but they all look so good. I still need to get books on my shelf onto my Kindle because I have to Downsize with the move and no room.
Donna I hear you, today was one of those days for me too. My problem since we moved is having to wait to buy book shelves so have a tower of boxes full of books that I have already read and on the office furniture we bought 7 book shelves double shelved full of unread books in all sizes and types.
ReplyDeleteNow am going through some lovely problems with my spine again so going back to the surgeon who worked on me in 2007 on Monday the 20th to see what is going on and if I need more surgery on my neck.
I swear, its insane here. Screaming and arguing been going on for hours now.
DeleteAnyway I hope you won't need more surgery, praying and sending good thoughts to you.
Thanks Donna, hoping things get a little less "nuts" at your house too! :(
ReplyDeleteI hope so too omg its insane, ugh I need earplugs LOL
DeleteI started blogging to curb my book buying, because I had so many books on my shelves to read already! I've just recently started getting ARCs and free books after getting more into the blogger community, so my collection is growing without me having to buy anything.
ReplyDeleteI don't count free kindle books towards my stash either...
It got worse, I mean i had tons before my blog but now its crazy insane. I like getting books on the Kindle cause I can hide my addiction LOL.
