Scribble and Scrambles - Books, Books, More Books


Ane blogged the top five reasons that she knows she has too many books on her to-be-read list...

Here are mine:


5) My cats lay on my books just to get a little attention and affection.


4) I have to take a running leap to clear the stack of books near my bed.


3) The puffy gold packages on my doorstep or in my mailbox induce a blend of guilt, excitement and weariness.


2) I have books in random stages of reading in my purse, on my bedside stand, in the kitchen, living room and bathroom so that I can catch a few paragraphs while stirring, waiting or winding down.


1) I wake up with random words "tattooed" on my forehead or cheek.


But, I must say, reading is a passion, pleasure and blessing. So, as long as they keep a coming, I'll keep on a reading.

you have books in your purse? Seriously? Wow. I feel so unread...
I'm still midway through that book you recommended. You know, with the love triangle; whatever it's name is...I love that book.

have I gotten to the infuriating part? Well...there are no wedding bells yet (don't want to spoil it for anyone) if that tells you anything. I'm a slow read, though I think about reading frequently, it just doesn't seem to happen. I like to read a good three chapters at a time. I think that's my problem.
