Book5 Last sentence in book

3. Name your sources


Here's mine!

Dela had mysterious dreams the night before she bought the riddle box. He'd been so annoyed by the roses that he'd actually forgotten about his unwitting attraction to her...until he'd taken the time to give her a good looking over. "Undine! What is it?" "Burn it somewhere safer." It was a marriage license.

Thy name is Bree!

Between work, work and MORE work, and actually spending time with my husband and the cats...and family stuff...and...the blog has been a wee bit neglected. I'll work on that real soon. Consider that my May resolution!

Bookstores

Bookstores are evil places for me! I feel the pull to buy even when I have a towering TBR. When I was growing up, I never had enough to read and I suppose this is a reaction to that.

I tend to buy at least 5 books a month and trust me, that is an all-time low! Last month, I think I bought 3.

So how do I feed the book loving monster within? I joined a company called Booksfree (think Netflix for books) and I also haunt my local library. Of the 12 books I read for pleasure last month, four of them were from the library and the rest from Booksfree.

Despite all of this, I am irresstibly drawn to bookstores. My roommate had a job interview at Barnes and Noble and we had to pick her up. Of course I had to go in and look around. When I was only able to have a quick look around and not actually buy anything, I felt this sense of sadness when I was dragged..err..walked out of B&N. As I look at my TBR pile, a mix a books from the library, Booksfree and my own purchases, I find myself wondering if I need more books.

The answer? A resounding YES!

My name is Bree and I am thoroughly addicted to books.
