Jenny | 10 comments Hello fellow bookoholics! My name is Jenny and like everyone on this list can't seem to stop buying books. I actually get anxious when I only have one title left in the pile and must get a 'fix' in order to feel 'normal', whatever than means. Funnily enough, I didn't realise I was an addict unti a couple of months ago when I discovered I had spent over $200 on books in just one month. I've since bought an iPad in the hope that this will prove a cheaper way in the long run to buy. However, nothing is quite like the feel and smell of an actual book. Maybe it's the ink I'm high on? In any event, books, LOVE 'EM!

BTW: I'm currently reading and thoroughly enjoying, Michael Koryta's, So Cold The River. Highly recommend it to lovers of mystery and spec fiction.

Jenny:)

K Krause (kkrause) | 5 comments Only $200 in one month? Ha! Amateur! Actually, it is becoming cheaper to get the digital form of books, but I do think there's something addictive in the smell of new books.

Jenny | 10 comments If $200 isn't excessive in your view, all I can say is: Phew! I feel so much better about the order I just placed with Booktopia. I knew I was in the right place!

Vicki Tavana (mamavik) | 16 comments I thought I was bad for spending $58, guess it's all relative. Too many other things that have to take precedence to new books

Jenny | 10 comments I was down to 3 books just the other day when I got the urge to order more. This really is a well-documented symptom of addiction. Thank all the gods it only hurts the wallet!
