PhotoHunt: Addiction

I have one simple addiction that has haunted me my entire life . . .

These are about 1/2 of my shelves. I own approximately 1500 books — greatly reduced and purged into those that I truly love. (When I moved cross country 16 years ago I mostly shipped 3000 books.)

What can I say? I love books and I love to read.

    I have a great passion for books too! I used to have a humungous library, but many had to be “passed on” when I moved into a smaller home!

    Books! I totally am addicted to reading but don’t have near the amount you do! Wow, 3000 books. And my hubby thinks my paltry three shelves are too much. LOL.

    That is a good addiction. My book buying addiction got a little expensive so I switched to the library. I still have stacks all over the house.

    Oh yes, I have the same issue, and every time I move I feel it. I am moving some things I use digital – a lot of my reference books are more beneficial to me online than off – but I suspect I will never truly whittle them all down.

    It’s so great to know that amidst the rise of e-books and digital libraries, there are still individuals whose passion for “regular” books are still alive and well 😀 I’d like to get started on my home library as soon as me and my husband have decided where to settle down.
    Have a great weekend.

    I can certainly understand THIS addiction. I work in a library and nearly posted photos of my books too! Your house looks comfy. I’d be right at home there! Great take on the theme.

    Oh my! could you adopt me? I love books too and this, your nook is the perfect hideout for a bookworm! I forgot about this but glad you posted it for us booklovers.Enjoy the week ahead!
