it is funny that he came to show it even if he isn't a reader!!!
Pffff6.30am and I am ready to go to work but I am still 15minutes too early to leave....crazy me at this time on a working day being on TNBBC!!!
Haven't had time to read this thread at work for the last couple of days (been reading at home) and I realise this thread has become work unsafe!
I got a huge sack of books together last night, AND I AM DONATING THEM.I'm so proud of myself :P that way I can't list them on BookMooch or sell them at a used bookstore for credit towards more books.
Allison, good for you. I so desperately need to weed. I did so not too long ago, but I wasn't nearly thorough enough. I think the only rooms that don't have books now are the bathrooms.
nah. I don't let them get wet. I actually think I know what books are next to the bathtub, I was just looking at them yesterday thinking I should take them back to the bookcase :PA Fatal Waltz by Tasha Alexander, the latest Sookie Stackhouse, a library book (Eleven on Top by Janet Evanovich), and...a couple others.
In my home? NO idea. I have some shoved in a closet that I bought at a library book sale, 2 sacks full I think. Then I have one bookcase full of what I've read, and one bookcase brimming over with what I haven't, probably about 150 in that one. Then I also have a big box under the spare bed full of what I had listed to give away on BookMooch, most of which I'm now giving away :)
well...did I mention that a whole room in my parent's garage is filled floor to ceiling with books in bins that they're storing for me?:D
I used to wonder how people could have SO many unread books in their possession. Part of me always thought it was a big fat lie to impress everyone.
Since Ive been frequenting library sales tho, I can see how quickly you can add em up! Its crazy, its an addiction, and it sooooo fun!!!
ha ha!

Oh, Allison, you are such a bad poody cat (like the reference Fiona?). I'm just glad there is someone even worse than I am about hoarding books. I'm afraid to count how many I have. I may work up the courage later today to count how many are on the shelves behind me where I sit at the computer.
Lori, yes, it is a true addiction. I mean, really, knowing that my house is full of books and being unable to stop myself from buying more. I can just never get enough. Rather than impressing people, I'm embarrassed for people to see just how obsessed I am.
What's the 10,000 mark? I'm going to do something really radical now. I'm going to go read. Ha, ha. I'm so not a morning person. I got up at 5:30 this morning (and didn't even have to sub today) to get some breakfast together for my daughter and her family who had spent the night and were off early to Savannah. I ended up staying up, so I'm going to go try and read some now. Only problem is I feel myself getting sleepy, hope I don't drop off.
I had a chocolate chunk chex mix bar for breakfast, but I'm hungry again :(Kathy...I'm horrible about reading in the morning, I always doze off...makes me feel like an old woman.
I don't really have time to read in the morning. I have everything timed out just so I can make it out the door on time.
me too, I'm referring to weekends only. On weekdays, I peel out of bed about 20 minutes before I absolutely have to be out the door or I'll be late to work. I let the dog out, straighten my hair...and out I run.
Oh, chocolate chunk-yum! And pizza, Jackie-yum again! I am realizing that the problem with getting up early and staying up is that I eat early and am hungry again mid-morning. LOL, Allison, dozing does make one feel a bit like a geezer.
Oh ok, weekend I can read anytime of the day with no problem. Sometimes if I read after work I will doze off for a bit. Last night I took an hour nap when I was reading Voyager :/
Good morning. I'm just leaving for work, so will probably log back on to 100 posts. LOL. Allison-I am going to be eating the last 6 chocolates, in my box from Valentine's, for breakfast, on my drive to work. Can't tell what they are, so am keeping my fingers crossed for at least one caramel and none of the nasty pink or orange filled ones! Wish me luck...
Good Morning Ladies!I want to finish Graceling today I only have 100 pages left but everytime I start reading someone or something interupts. *sigh*
How is everyone else doing on their books? Are you all doing the spring challenge? If so where you at in your points?
Ha ha!!!! I always look for the square ones first! I try to leave at least one square for last. Guess what? It was CARAMEL!!!!!!!!!!!!Allison-coconut is so nasty in my opinion. I always spit those out. I can gag down the pink or orange ones, but NOT coconut!
Rachel, your description of the Girl Scouts was funny, but what has caused you to label them as such? Being a former Girl Scout, I just have to ask. Is there something sinister going on about the cookies? I've often suspected that.
I love truffles in any shape or form, but the most readily available, wonderful ones are from See's. Do you have See's candy? They are to die for. For some reason the Godiva ones are all over Las Vegas and since we will be there next week, I'm sure I will be eating my share!
k, I am logging off because I am super busy this afternoon since I'm taking off the rest of the week and I can't afford the distraction :Plove you guys :D
I forgot all about Lindt! They are the absolute best. I usually treat myself to one at Michael's, because they have them in a dish right by the register.
Wow, Rachel. Thanks for enlightening me. Curses to anything or anyone who screws with a kid's self-esteem. I haven't eaten Girl Scout cookies for quite a few years, so I feel good that I haven't supported them.
In our house we always say we are "testing to make sure it's not posionous"! I do it to mu kids all the time when they have a treat. "Let me just taste that and make sure it's not poison." They laugh, I get a bite, and we're all happy. I do the same thing with dinners. I am really glad you like it! Use a really absorbent roll so you can put on lots of sauce;)
