You know, I’m not yearning with all my heart to find out about Drupal. Not sure why, but there you go I don’t think publishers need to worry, because many of us talk a big talk about not buying books, but we do it anyway. Yes, the word addiction does come to mind …

Since I bought our first house at the beginning of the year and I’ve been therefore financially poor, I actually haven’t bought ANY books this year new. I am a definite library addict because then I can feed my reading addiction without feeling guilty about busting the budget.

Ah well, I don’t actually feel all that bad for publishers, but that’s because I figure that the library will take care of my needs, and I sure pay enough property tax that goes to the library to buy many books for the library…. I really hope the library doesn’t go anywhere.

I’ve been cutting back on the book buying for about two-three months now but oh, I so want to splurge! I think I just go through those phases every once in a while when I see my TBR stacks taking over all the shelves, etc. So I do a bit of weeding of the shelves, read more from my stacks and I’m good to go on another book binge

[...] Personal, Publishing, Reading — litlove @ 5:01 pm I see that my blog friends Dorothy and Stefanie have both been talking about this of late, and I can never resist joining in on their discussions. [...]

Three cheers for what Litlove said. I took Katharine out for a very simple meal out at the beach a couple of weeks ago. Nothing special. Very casual. The tab with tip was $66! I realize I’m out of step with what a meal out costs, but I was shocked, especially for the simple fare. So, buying books is a true bargain, I find. Long live my addition. I am not planning on attending rehab anytime soon. Buy without remorse.
