Thom’s comments from the Book Buying Addicts Anonymous group.

These are my free Kindle books for today from Amazon.

Another day, another book (books) Life goes on and so does my collecting addiction. I couldn't be happier (and my wife is happy because it keeps me off the streets.

I'm in the same situation and have the same dream to be able to build a house around my barn-size library. Dreams are like your next book....they're always out there adding spice to life.

For the 11th of August:

Free books from the last two days.

Today's purchases are:

I am house-bound which gives me lot[of time to read and acquire new books online. These are today's free acquisitions bookcover:Cruel Justice|12758464] s

These books I acquired.

This should round off my recent acquisitions.

I continue to collect unabated and hope I can read many of them before I die or go blind.

A couple of months ago I thought life, as I knew it, was over. My book collection had outgrown the space we could reasonably use for them (I even smuggled Jonathan and Faye Kellerman collection of about twenty-five books into the bathroom). The room that we had set aside as a library couldn’t accommodate another book so I had to admit that my collecting days were over but shortly that famous Yankee ingenuity soon saved the day and my collecting passion. I reorganized my books and got rid of the doubles and triples and starting to be slightly more selective about the rest of my books. Once I read them, if they don’t rate three stars or more or if an unemotional evaluation says I will probably never read it again. I have started looking for buys and freebies online and have discovered that I can increase my library by ten to fifteen books a day making it bigger than ever without stressing over space. I may not ever read all the books I have but it doesn’t matter as that isn’t really the point. I am passionate about collecting and I am at peace knowing that on my dying day I will still have a multitude of titles and authors to choose from.

I am recovering from shoulder surgery so it has been awhile since noting my acquisitions. I have the use of only one hand so posting is slow and tedious so I might have to do this in steps.

By accident I posted these on July 2013 Purchases. Hopefully this will fix it.

I don't know...Maybe that time travel thing really works!

I have a few of her books somewhere in my library. I haven't read anything by her yet so I might give her a try this summer.

Looks like a Janet Evanovich bonanza!
