Reading Resolution

[desertvixen]

 I am putting it here to ensure I stick to it.

 Until I get my to-be-read pile down to 10 books or less, I am not buying any more books.  Even though there is a new JD Robb book on November 6th.  I really have too many books I have bought and not read.

I've had to impose the same rule on myself. The "to be read" stack beside me bed is almost two feet high.

Two feet high, double stacked.

I have a convenient space between bookcases where there's a cable hookup so the bookcase can't be there where I put the unread.

I'm either going to read stuff or get rid of it.

For me it's more like "bought it, read it, don't want to unload it." I greatly admire your determination to weed out your collection. For me, letting go of a book is like my sister putting my niece in a box on the sidewalk. The current condition of my bookcase reflects this.

My Boys are 2-0, too. I'm so not expecting that to last, but then again, the Yankees are scrabbling for a wild card and the Rockies may make the playoffs. This might be a strange year. Navy Mids are 1-2. CO Avs are 1-0 but that's pre-season.

Hurricane Niece slept in until after 12, then was wired the rest of the day. Gave her a bath 'round 9-ish, she was dead to the world within ten minutes.

Your in-laws sound like my father's older sister, who told me it was no use praying for my then-eleven WEEKS preemie sister, because we were all going to burn in Hell when we died because we were Catholic. Dad's family is Methodist. I was NINE. Yeah, I don't talk to her anymore.

Music of the Moment: Our Song by Taylor Swift (still stunned that this chick is only SEVENTEEN.)

There are books I could not part with.

Then there's stuff I have read that I won't likely read again. Can't afford the weight when we move.

This Saturday and Sunday we will watch football and nothing else. No in-laws.

Detroit 2-0!

I took 2 bags of books to Stony & read ONE of them. Must weed.

Some of them aren't going to be read, but I'm going to admit they'll never be read and find them new homes.
