A Passionate Love Affair

Between whom? Me and books.

I love books. Seriously. This love affair goes way, way back, to before I could technically read. I used to "read" my favorite A-B-C book to my mother; I'd sit in her lap, she'd hold the book and I'd recite what was on the pages. This love affair is so long-standing, it surpasses how long I've known my oldest friend.

Why mention my affair with books? I went into a bookstore on my lunch break. Huge mistake.

I only purchased 3 books (the 3 I actually went to buy!) -- Lover Eternal by J. R. Ward (an upcoming OOTB guest blogger); The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenigger; and The Cotton Queen by Patricia Morasi -- but I came away with new additions to my To Be Read list. At the rate at which I accumulate these additions, I'll likely never finish.

A book geek's dream.....

  1. I went to the book store yesterday too. I'd planned to by Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Carrie Vaughn), Moon Called (Patricia Briggs), and Micah, the new Hamilton novella. But they didn't have K and the MH. I was disappointed. And a little irritated, because the computer said they had three copies. All of which were apparently missing. But I bought the other two (paperbacks, thank goodness) and am half-way through the first one.

    Love Briggs's writing, so far.

  2. *lol* Only bought 3 books? Gosh, you've more self-control than me. Last Sunday I went to Borders. I had made copies of the 30% coupon, so I bought 4 books. I didn't buy more 'coz the other two are been released this next week. Ugh! My TBR pile is about to hit the ceiling. Okay, I'm exaggerating. *lol* But I've got like...uh... 18 books in it.
