Bookaholics! What is your main weakness?

[Beverly]

I am a Bookaholic and know there is no help for me.
But sometimes I have parts of this addiction under control.

But my main weakness is new releases - I have hundreds (I refuse to say thousands :))of unread books on my bookshelf and now on my kindle but I always want to have the new releases that seem to entice me! So watch release dates like a hawk.

What is your main weakness as a bookaholic?

I would say that my main weakness is a book sale. I go to library book sales, used bookstores and participate in book giveaways. I cannot say no to a book that is a good price. These places keep my shelf stocked.

I have always had a love for books, I enjoy the escape reading provides. I have now turned into an Kindle/Nookaholic, I get so excited from the instant gratification of downloading books I the wee hours of the night when I should be sleeping, especially when I spend $20 and have 5 or 6 new books added to my collection, I know it's sick but I love reading and I have enjoyed the new reading experiences that I have had since joining this group.

Staying up all night reading a book too good to put down

Starting too many books at once because they all look so interesting. I'm trying to rein this in but it's not easy and my TBR list is calling me.....

I feel you. I am sitting here this morning trying to decide what to read this week. Trying to figure which books will satisfy my moods this week. :)

I know what you mean. It is very hard for me to get my TBR list under control. It just seems to grow so quickly.lol

Amazon 1-Click and the eBook instant gratification thing was killing my wallet. Luckily I am currently trying a 30 day trial of Oyster (on my android tablet) and a 30 day trial of Kindle Unlimited. They are kind of like Netflix for books. I can try before I buy. If it's a book I want to read over and over, I can spend the money. So far, I have been able to find a wide selection of things to read.
