I think having only 6 on hand would give me hives! But then I have more books than I will ever be able to read.... And it doesn't stop me from buying more either!! I love that you have a little more restraint than I do!

Favorite Romance Genre: don’t know
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because....when I start reading, nothing else matter… not the fact that it’s 3 in the morning and I have to go to work in a couple hours, or that I have homework and school, or anything other than the book in my hands


message 2082: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24343 comments Welcome Ethel and Elena!!!

I'm on a real spicy food kick at the moment - can't get enough of it.

I used to read until all hours and could still operate the next day. Unfortunately I've now hit an age where my sleep is absolutely essential if I don't want to embarrass myself at work with massive yawns or killer headaches :(

Oh no, does that mean I have to read now as much as possible (when I'm still youngish?) :p (not that you are old, women are never old, we are just getting more matured when years go by)

Oh I know what you mean. I read until barelly 12:30 last night, which is nothing compared to what I've done in the past, and had to get up at 6.Now I can't even concentrate. Workday is going to be a nightmare...


message 2085: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31790 comments Welcome Ethel and Elena! Oh, I know what you mean about staying up too late reading! I really try to only do it when I don't have much if anything scheduled the next day!

Jane (PS) | 24343 comments Yup - I'm 45 *I think* (can't be bothered to go back and recalculate!) and I need to be in bed by 10.30pm at the latest or I am useless for work. Mind you, I wake up at 5.30 and read for an hour in the morning before I get up...

I wish I could read in the morning. Sometimes I lie to myself and tell me that if I go to bed on time, I'll wake up on my own early and read. The truth however is that I'm more of a staying up late kinda person than waking up early... sometimes I think I was born to be a vampire or some other creature of the night... *sigh*

Hi Elena, glad I am not the only one who can get caught up in a great book. Although the book really has to suck me in lately or I won't even make it past 20 pages let alone stay up to all hours of the morning reading!
