Anyone else here addicted to books? I am!!!

@hillhjill . enjoy

King's collection of short stories, "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams" was excellent!

@sherryericha I will have to read them.

@Seattlemom I love free books, specially when it's a good book. Sucks though if the first book is free then you have to pay for the next in the series

Ha ha ha That's funny!!! If I want could take like a few hours to read a book. I can finish it if there's not very many pages like The Wolf of Wall Street with over 500. I'm planning to rebuy that and some of the others that I love. I had to rebuy Think and Grow Rich but from a different publisher. I got this at BN and the one I had was ordered online. Free book but had to pay s&h.

@Seattlemom Of course I'll read more, just haven't decided which book it'll be. Doing crosswords and cross-stitch until I do.

It's great that you finished it. Planning to read more books? If do, what is it? I'm halfway done with my current one. I will get a few more once I have the money for it.

@Seattlemom Me too. The books open my eyes to other places and I can experience things even its just an illusion. An escape to reality I think. The Davinci was quite exciting, the movie is okay. what happened to your books?

I have the same addiction as you and I call it "bookaholic." ha ha Sometimes escaping from life by reading a book definitely help. I used to have a lot of books. It's a long story here but somewhat sad about it. This happened last year in May 2016 so it's about a year since then. I did have DaVinci Code as one of them but left it behind. I didn't read it and Tom Hanks was in the movie of it.

@diosabella I'm quite sad but have to move on but due to not having the funds to pay for storage, they had to sell them at a yard sale to cover what we owe which was in the $300 area. I left behind some books that I couldn't take with me while the others were books I didn't want. I do like to escape reality as well if I want to escape stress and stuff or just want to learn.

Most of the books I read are non fiction and self help. Occasionally fiction just to break up the monotone of it. I am planning to buy more books in the near future because I don't have what I want anymore. :( Lets just say I miss them just as well as pics and other important personal things.

I have the same problem here. We need "Bookaholics Anonymous." ha ha ha My hun and I have been together for over a year and he knows I would spend more of my money on books than clothes even though I love clothes. I would rather have knowledge than just trying to look good although he does tell me that I am beautiful. I am a nerd to him but loves it. :) I'm into the idea of getting into the tech industry as one of my main goals for this year and do read some books about it.

Yeah. I know but for now, more than likely, not let me go to it. We are in the process to work on the main areas like finding a permanent place and me to file a parenting plan before I can hit up book clubs to socialize and talk about books. I've been going crazy and so is my hun. Once we get the important areas covered, we will see if he would come with me or not to one. He's not reading any books but since he is a salesman would read those type of books when the time comes.

That's cute. You should also add in new ones as well. We learn and grow if we keep reading.

@Seattlemom Yeah, there are many books now that are second hand and can be bought at a lower price.

@shantalclay I know my local libraries have the Friends program that you check out what they sell. Never bought any of their books though. I had books that was bought at retail, Goodwill, Amazon, Half Price Books, etc. I miss them. And a few of here and there at Barnes and Noble as well.

I do have some ebooks but the actual book in my hands makes me feel happy. Being on my electronic devices like my smartphone and tablet is just too much. I like to unwind with an actual one even though they cost more unless bought at a yard sale or something.

Lol I like movies too. Some book and movie combos I like are The Pursuit of Happyness, Wolf of Wall Street, Confessions of a Shopaholic.... There are many more which I'm sure but can't think of it at the moment.

@Seattlemom There are many others too.

@TheInvisibleMan Yup...It is amazing to see how successful some books became to get movies done on them.

I'm not sure because you didn't give me more details of what you're into. Self help? Finance? Marketing? Fiction? Work at home? Motherhood and parenting? Etc.

I am a book junky too. I can never get enough of them.

Thank you. I love being here even though I'm not here all the time. Sounds like you like being here and it's why you keep coming back.

Whoa! You bookaholic junky. Ha ha ha I haven't finished 3 books this year yet which was my fault. As for recommendations, my hun keep telling me to read Zig Ziglar since it's sales books. Although I have many recommendations. It depends on what interests you the most.
