I'm not addicted to books, I get those at the library.

I'm addicted to quilting magazines!!!

Luckily the boy's dad doesn't say anything!

Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one. I'll probably be doing garage sales again Thurs. & Fri. so I hope I can be good & only buy them if they are certain ones that I really want. LOL I never spend more that 75 cents for paperbacks & $1 - $2 for hardcover. I'm running out of space to hide them. If he only knew!!!!!!!!!

I just bought books at a garage sale! I bought 15 books and paid 25 cents each! We have a local book sale every year too but the books there are a buck a piece. I have the same prob....really hate to pay what they want for them knew...even if I could!

We have a small local library. Many times I leave without a book because I've read them all! I'm first one there when the new books arrive. I have a collection of leather bound favorite classics that I love and those are the only books I buy to keep other then quilting books. I think the new e book readers are the best way for keeping books. Up to 2000 can be stored on them.

My husband bought me a Kindle this fall -and I love it. I thought I would buy so many more books - it is so convenient and easy to do- but I find that I spend as much time deciding which ones to buy as I do reading them. Every decision is important - I want just the right book to read, but don't want to go over my budget...and there are so many free books, that I only pay for the newest best sellers... I have saved tons of money and yet I always have that next book at my fingertips no matter what time of day or night...and no piles of books falling around the rooms to point out how much I have bought:)
