Mariel suggested this week’s question
Book Gluttony! Are your eyes bigger than your book belly? Do you have a habit of buying up books far quicker than you could possibly read them? Have you had to curb your book buying habits until you can catch up with yourself? Or are you a controlled buyer, only purchasing books when you have run out of things to read?
Oh, this reader definitely falls into the gluttony category. I am not controlled with my book habits at all. Although I do not always buy them, I do get them free, or through swaps as well. However, I certainly have more books than I can read quickly. My TBR currently boasts just over 600 books (610 to be exact) so at my current goal of 125 books per year it would take me just a shade over under 5 years to finish all of the books I have now. In addition, that is IF I do not get any new ones, and frankly that is just not likely. So yes, I am a book glutton and you know what I am proud of it. I love books I love the way they feel, I love having a selection to choose from. I just love books. Therefore, if I am a glutton, well I guess that is my Sin. Nevertheless, a sin I am proud to claim.
I’m the same way! Definitely a book glutton!
Wow. 600? I won’t even count mine! LOL. New books arrive every week, adding to it. And then, I have this habit of reserving too many books at the library and not having enough time to read them all before they need to go back.
You can’t have too many though…
It’s good you are counting.. I don’t want ot do that.. I’m sure I have books to last me a lifetime and then some 🙂
