I did it! Oh, gosh, did I ever.

Confessions of a bookworm.

 

You probably guessed that I have a little addiction. I’ve been good this year, a lot better than what I have been in the past.

 

I used to shop at the thrift shop to see what books they got in that week.

 

 These days, I might pick up one or two books a month at the local store.

 

My book shelves hold more books than what you see in these pictures. A lot more books. Heck, I have a whole room for them (plus some). Wouldn’t you love to visit this guy and his books? ->

 

I broke down Wednesday and purchased some books online. I try not to do it often. I try to restrain myself. Yeah, that doesn’t always work. And I blame it on you. Oh, you know who you are. You’re the one who found these great books and told me I should read them.

 

So like a good friend, I put the books on my wish list. (Hubby, if you are reading this, look away. Look away now! You don’t want to know. lol) Well, I bought them (paperback only this round). Fourteen of them. Ouch! All the while, there is part of me that is rubbing her hands together with glee! I reason with myself that I’ve read some books. I have to replenish the stacks. The rest of the books were getting lonely.

 

I can’t wait!

Now, it’s the fun part, a hobby ever writer and reader has indulged in from one time or another. It’s time to stalk the mail carrier. *big grin*

 

Now that you know my addictions (movies and books), what are yours?

    Ha, don’t feel alone. I love buying books. It actually makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside when I get a new book, and a paperback to boot. Oh yeah! Let me tell you, that 4-for-3 deal at Amazon comes in handy for me. It’s especially nice for future releases as well. It’s a pleasant surprise when I forget I’ve already pre-orded a book months in advance, then it just shows up in my post office box.

    And I understand about the thrift stores too. I’ve discovered some really awesome authors that way. Then I rush out and buy all their books new. I can’t help it. :)

    What cool books did you buy?
