I own and have read an obscene number of books. I share and I donate many to my church for our annual bazaar but I still have too many. Another weeding-out project awaiting me in the new year.
As habits go, it's not a bad one but I must be frugal. No more strolling through the bookstore and buying whatever strikes my fancy. So, today I dusted off my library card. Did you know that you can practically check out an unlimited number of books? Seriously, I asked. The limit for one visit is something like 125 books. I want to interview the person who does that.
It's not the same as cracking open a brand new book and enjoying the tactile experience. But it's pretty darn close. (And free.) I found several titles in my favorite categories. My nightstand stack is full.
Now I must learn not to dog-ear the pages or write in the margins. I can't afford to have them revoke my privileges.

How Fun! It has been years since I went to the library for myself! Can I go with you next time? Lets go to a coffee shop after the venture (=
Nick is a big library patron. We get weekly calls telling him that a book he ordered has come in. And I can hardly get through a book any moore. To me, that is a great loss. Patsy
