Don't we all :)

Katherine | 298 comments I'm just replacing the books I've read with new ones I've obtained.... sigh.

Also my friend gave me 30 of her books she didn't want anymore.... so yay for free books but also oh no more books to find room for - I need a new book case.

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9628 comments *grins*

I solved that problem by switching to ebooks. Paper books are now at moms (since she wanted something to read) and now I keep listening how she read everything she had, and wants something new, but she doesn't have a place to put them, and stepdad refuses to make her new shelves :P
I just smile and buy her new books....

lolz, yeah I love my ebooks too but I just can't let go of my favorite paperbacks. I think I have a weird addiction... can you say hoarder - I know I can! XD

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9628 comments Oh, I have couple of those too. In most cases they are here just to collect dust, because of course I have e-versions of them so I don't damage 'original'. What's sad is that they are not even some rare and expensive editions but normal everyday ones. *shakes head*


message 61: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 298 comments Yeah I hear you, I'm waiting for the next book in my favorite manga series to be in stock again so I can add it to my collection, even though I can easily get it in ebook form instead. I'm not breaking I'm getting the paperback form of it regardless, damn it!
