I have beaten life to a pulp and am ready to hit the challenge road again.

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I am incapable of walking into a bookshop without buying something. Or reading a blog without writing a title and author down on a list. Or joining in book reading challenges which encourage me to buy or borrow more books!I bought an eReader so my husband doesn't have a clue how many books I actually have (although he is aware of my addiction and certainly believes there are more than a few)
Oh and I am Australian, married and have two children and 3 grandchildren
