Hi to Everyone. I'm a new member and thought I might share a little sympathy with all of those of you who have also lost their minds looking for more shelf space. Currently, more of my paycheck goes to Amazon, Borders, and anywhere else books are sold than it does to my mortgage. I have long since run out of shelves, and have books parked up both sides of the stairs, in plastic bins, bags, totes, boxes, backpacks, and on my diningroom table. I havent eaten at the table in nearly two years. I am hoping I have found like-minded individuals who suffer the same affliction???

Hi Abbie and Welcome!
The answer to your question is a resounding YES!!!

I find House Beautiful and a few other home magazines have great ideas for decorating using books. I love the stair idea!

Hi Abbie, Wow, you are a reader!

Hmmm, why does your house sound like my house! I have books materials on every surface top, and spilling on to floors ......... your email desctiption made me smile!

What a great idea...decorating for the insistant bibliophile! I just have to put the book down long enough to do it.

Hi Abbie.... welcome to the group. It is obvious to me that you are a book lover AND horder! Join the ranks :)

[Abbie K.]

I'll be glad to stop hording when the prices go down. I feel guilty throwing out/recycling a book that costs $20 or more. If postage were free we could send them to each other. We could be our own library!

Hi abbie, welcome. I had to stop hoarding... didn't have anything new to read and had no space!!

Hi Abbie! I'm not that bad yet but I'm working on it since joing this group :)

[Abbie K.]

I understand Edith. Since I joined this group my wish list at Amazon has hit five and half pages of book titles I want to get. E-Gads!!!!!
