Too Many Books

Posted April 2, 2009 by Tracy in Miscellaneous | 22 Comments

A week or so back Kris from Kris ‘n’ Good Books was stating in one of her posts that she had umpteen books to read in her personal TBR, plus books that she need to read for reviews and yet she still found the need to purchase yet more books! Can you imagine? Buying books when you already had a couple hundred just sitting waiting with bated breath to be picked up and read? I can’t! Stop laughing. I’ve never done anything like that before in my life! I said, stop laughing! Oh yeah, like you’ve never done anything like that before – puhleeze!

Ok I admit it! I do it all the time. I go out and I buy books that I want that sometimes sit there for months before they’re touched. Why? Oh honey, these and other questions. I think it’s because I’m sick and twisted and have serious issues I like having the books there ready for me whenever I do get around to reading them. I mean, imagine the horror of getting ready to read that certain book that’s finally got your attention and you go to the bookstore and it’s not. in. stock. I shudder just thinking about it! (I’d probably go home and buy it in ebook but even then, on occasion, it’s not always available in a format I need)

So what do you call a people who buy books that aren’t needed but yet wanted so badly? Book Sluts. That’s right…we’re not beating around the bush. We’re coming out and telling it like it is. Kris was nice enough to draw our lovely advertisement but we couldn’t exactly figure out which ad option to go with.

This is where you come in. Which ad option do you think works best for the new endeavor?
Check out these beautiful Originals by Kris and then check out the poll to the right to vote. Oh, and how many of you are in denial with us? I want to know how many Book Sluts there are out there!
