I have finally come to realize that not only am I a fabriolic (sp?) but am very addicted to buying books. I have a binder that I keep track of the books that I've read & haven't read and after updating it yesterday I found I now have 369 books to read!!!! Is there a cure for this??? There are still some that I really want to find but it seems like I just buy any that look good. Can anyone save this poor soul??????

Have you heard of paperbackswap.com? I've been a member for about 4 years. Great site.

I've just joined up on paperbackswap also, I'm torn between sewing and reading, not enough time in the day for both, and I'm retired. Hard to figure if I have more sewing machines or bookcases in our house.

:lol: You can't be helped. :lol: It is in the soul, just enjoy it. I read my novels as much as 5 times each. If I liked it the first time I like it each time there after as well. When I read I don't want to be bothered until I finish it. When I pick up a novel and curl up with my blanket husband says "There goes supper".

I love the Half Price bookstores where I can sell my old books and buy "new" ones. Of course now the ebooks have come out and maybe in a couple of years when they have more books available to download that will be my route. I don't keep track but I do remember favorite authors!

I am going to tell you my trick but don't tell anyone else ok?

I go to Amazon.com and look up books and read descriptions and reviews of other people. Then I go on-line to my library and order the books from them. They email me when the are ready to be picked up. I get to read what I want for free ssssshhhhhh
