How many of you have a book shelf or place to store your books and have you read all the books on your book shelf? I have not and have some really good books that I will hopefully put out in our new place when we move. I go to the 2nd hand book store and get used books. They also have new ones. When I get inside I look where I want to look for new books to read which are new to me. I like to check out the authors and someone mentioned or I read about Fern Michaels books and would like to check to see if can find hers. I have not read a book by her in ages. I think it is about time to get one.

Are you planning on moving? I'm lucky enough to have several bookcases. We have a lot of books.

@JudyEv Yes, we are moving soon. That is all I can say because there is someone invading not only my life but my computer and TV and other things as well so cannot say much.

It's been ages since i read thru paper-books. Most company rely on digital format and there are many readers that like to use there devices to purchase such rather than using the paper copy. But there is also advantages in reading paper books mainly because it reduced eye strain, it has better retention especially if offline availability. Thanks for sharing!

@StyleWithSense I still love to hold an actual book in my hands and read it from cover to cover. You are welcome for sharing and some of what you said I did not know before.

@Hannihar You are very welcome! Thanks for responding. Yes, nothing beats traditional paperbook! also the smell of flipping pages to pages cannot surpass by digital formats. Have a great day!

While I have ebooks, there is nothing like holding a physical book in your own hands. I had to cut down on the books on my shelf, but they are still pretty full. I have about four I have not read, but I am not quite sure when I will get to them.

@jobelbojel Since you do not have a bookshelf where do you store the books you get and read? It makes sense that he is selling the books he already read.

@BelleStarr It is so good to see you again. Were you gone? If so, then welcome back. I used to read when I would go to appointments but now I rarely go to appointments so when I am not spending time with my cat I read on our Sabbaths and Jewish holidays. Next Thursday I will not be on the computer at all and will be fasting from Wednesday night to Thursday night and will spend some time with my cat and read. I do not read as much as I did before and feel bad about it.

I haven't read a Fern Michaels book in ages but I do remember liking her books. I have two bookshelves. One upstairs in my bedroom and one downstairs. Both have books I haven't read yet and I'm always looking for more books even though I have plenty I haven't read yet

I have a full wall of book shelves in my living room with a lot of books I haven’t read. I started reading Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid , but went to the library today and laid that book aside and I’m reading one of my library books, The woman Climbed Trees by smriti Ravindran. I’ve only read a few chapters an I can see it’s a really good book. I like Fern Michaels too.

@Hannihar I choose books by new authors along with authors I know and love. I’ll probably look for more books from this author. I’ve only read about a quarter of the book.

@RubyHawk I like to choose from authors that I like the books they write and try new books when someone recommends an author I do not know already. I check out if there is something I can read about the book and decide if I want it or not.

@RubyHawk I am glad you found a book at the library that you like. Maybe the books on our shelf are not something you want to read at this time and found the book that you do want to read. I have not read Fern Michaels in a long time and do not know why stopped reading her books. I have not heard of either author you mentioned.
