In reply to Teresa E. Me too. It's a great way to spend some time ... and add even more books to my TBR pile. LOL.

Yeah like where is the fun in that? I would rather go to the book store and browse for a book…read the back, etc. One of my favorite things to do when I’ve got some time to kill. 🙂

In reply to Teresa E. That's one reason why I don't have an e-reader. I don't think I could stop myself from ordering books if I knew I could get them at that exact moment. At least with paper books, I still have to schlep out to the bookstore to pick them up. LOL.

OMG too funny…. I have the same problem. Everytime I’m in the bookstore I walk out with something…I can’t help it! LOL Then when the new books come out I buy them as well. Currently my TBR pile is a WHOLE BOOKSHELF!! Like over 500 books…I must be crazy. hahahaha! I may never ever get to all of them, LOL!! I’ve also now got my mom hooked ~evil grin~ but she is smart…she bought a Kindle and doesn’t have her books take up a whole room!! 🙂

In reply to Sal. I blame it on the book covers. They're all so new and shiny and tempting sitting there on the shelf in the store. LOL. No matter how many books you have at home, surely it can't hurt to get just one more ... ;-)

Oh my…GOD. That is me down to the letter. Only I’ve had books sitting in my piles for years that I haven’t cracked. It’s gotten so bad that my TBR pile took up most of the space in my basement…my family made me give 80% to used bookstores. =( That hurt a lot and now I’m slowly starting it up again >_< Ugh!

What's worse is…if I read one book by an author and I love it, I run out, get all his/her other books and they sit there unread.

In reply to Michele Rioli.

500 books? Wow! I wish I had room for that many books in my house. Sadly, I have one little bookcase and that’s it. Maybe someday when I win the lottery, I’ll have a house with a real library. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Glad you liked the post.

Yes, I am with the majority here; the anticipation, the thrill of the hunt, oohing and aahing over the pretty covers, and getting sucked in to the fabulous stories! Love it all! Yes, I hoard books too! I have over 500 in my TBR pile. I have a wonderful revolving shelving unit that holds them all, thanks to my hubby!

Great blog post Jennifer!

In reply to PurpleRanger. I try to keep my TBR pile to about 10-20 books. Anymore than that, and I start feeling really guilty about buying something new. LOL.
