Hi my name is RunnerGirlFL and...
I’m a bookaholic
No really!! I think I have a problem.
you: Ya THINK?!?! Only ONE?!?!
me: Yeah yeah whatever
I love my LibraryThing (see the books on my sidebar) and I have neglected it some lately so I decided to make sure it was updated. Well…I hadn’t neglected it as much as I thought. Most of my “last batch” was in there. I just hadn’t stamped them with my “From the Library of J. Kalajian” stamp yet. That means I added them when I was at work one day.
So as I added the newest and a few from that last batch and stamped them all and got the rest of the books in my bedroom in the list that just hadn’t been added I looked through my collection. Now well over 100 strong, and those are just the ones I have entered!! There are many that I haven’t even started with still on the main bookshelves in the extra room.
What did I notice as I entered these books? Well that I have a problem!! There are several (Like 1..2..Many) that I have not read and yet I buy more. And then didn’t read all of them and bought still more!!
What is wrong with me?!?!
So…I need your help dear readers…I’m going to keep reading the ones I have and not buy more (or too many more) till I have finished these. SO…if you see me…ask me what I’m reading now, or what I’m reading next.
I’m tempted to make a huge unruly pile in my bedroom that I have to read before I can put them away. The mess alone ought to make me insane…or give me an excuse to make a bigger mess…(Let’s hope it’s the first?...I think)
What is your trick for reading what you already own?
Well I better go read something. Check out the LibraryThing and post if you have one so I can see what we like in common. I’ll dig my way out from under these books eventually but in the mean time if you see new books added they are probably just not in the LibraryThing yet since I’m still updating. (Mostly School Texts and Gaming books aren’t in yet…And may or may not get added.)
P.S. Don't worry I pre-ordered the Harry Potter so I still get that...It's already a done deal.
