yay books

I am a serial reader. I am always reading something, and very often, I have two books (or more) going on at the same time. I am currently reading Watership Down (in the bedroom) and Blood Red Horse (in the bathroom, yes, I am a bathroom reader...)

But since I hadn't been paid in a long time, I really hadn't bought new books in a while. I like to have at least three new books waiting for me, so that as soon as I finish, I can start reading another one or two, with one still in reserve. While I still have some existing books that I haven't read yet (see books currently reading,) they weren't new books, so I hadn't been excited to read them. And they aren't books that I've read before and love to reread, so I had been without books I couldn't wait to read for a while.

No longer! We went to Barnes & Noble on the day I got paid, and I happily dropped about $50 in new books, and that was restraining myself. So now I have waiting for me: Labyrinth, Hood, The Riddle, Pippi Longstocking, and Eat, Pray, Love. Now technically, Pippi Longstocking was bought a while ago, but since it was the last of my new books, I couldn't start it until I had more new books, because it would only take me a few hours to read it at most, and then I wouldn't have any new books at all, see my dilemma?

I feel complete now, like I had lost friends somewhere along the way, and I only just got them back. And yes, I know, this might be extreme to feel about books, but I really consider them friends.

Happy reading!
