There ought to be more of us

Many people indulge in retail therapy but mine takes a unique form. When I feel sad, I buy books. And when I feel happy... I also buy books. ("Damn, that conversation was upsetting, I guess I better hie me to a bookstore and fetch home treasure to comfort me!" "Yay, that's so cool, what I need to celebrate is to buy some books!")

If more people were like me, the publishing industry would be well on its way to recovery.

Now if only I could find time to read all the books that I buy....

After we had the living room painted in October, I reorganized the books. I sent enough to storage, I was able to fit all the TBR pile into shelves. They filled an entire six-foot IKEA bookcase. Oops.
IOW, I feel your... Pain is totally the wrong word. Obsession?

We book hoarders must stick together! At least until we get our own reality show and they stage an intervention and scan all our TBRs onto our new tablets...
