A book confession

[girliejones]

The other day something I had been avoiding for a while now smacked me in the face. Well actually, it knocked one of my Ditmars off a shelf and broke it (it’s one that was probably glued together in the first place so can be easily fixed, I hope). I’ve been in denial about it but the truth is - I have never actually unpacked my books and put them

I rarely have more than a couple of books around that I haven't read. I'm cursed with a fast reading speed. There's part of a shelf that the library books sit on and any new books I've bought generally join them until read, at which time they're inserted alphabetically into my library. I've always had the practice of getting rid of any book that couldn't stand a reread. Recently I have started big time culling, helped by the fact that I got over urban fantasy/vampire fic in a big way and am shedding most of those. I used to like Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books until I saw the series, which was so over the top that I gave up watching it. So if anyone's looking for those....

I also own a Kindle now so have decided to save money by buying e-books which I don't think I will want for my collection or maybe don't know much about, say books by a convention guest with whom I am not familiar. If I change my mind and decide they're must haves, then I can always look for a really nice (what do you call them?) Real Book. Paper Books, as opposed to paper-back?
