I think I need an intervention!! BookBub and its cousins

are killing me

Too many free and 99cent books. Don't even get me started on series!!!

So many books; so little time!

I have enough in my Kindle to start a library. At least I will not have to pack them when I finally move.

2. Me three

I have such a TIME picking my next read....and I usually have two going at once, one on the upstairs iPad, one on the downstairs one. Which is normal for me, I always had two or more books going at once when I read exclusively hard copy.

8. 2 on my iPad - one in kindle, one in iBook

Plus 2 on my phone (kindle and books). A paperback tucked into the side pocket of my car. Plus a regular hard copy library book next to my chair. Sometimes a book on Libby too. Aren’t we lucky to have such a glorious choice of reading material? My want to read list is probably longer than my (hopefully many) remaining days above ground. My great grandma loved to read. So did my grandma - died at 99 with a book at her side. My parents also read right up to their passing. I read. My kids are voracious readers and so are their kids. God bless libraries, librarians, bookstores and publishers. A giant, painful pox on book banners everywhere

11. same here!!! Reading 2 at a time can be tricky though

One time I made the mistake of loading 2 books in the same genre on 2 kindles. (archaeology thriller) They were just similar enough that I kept crossing them up.

Next time I will choose different types for certain!

12. Another in the "read 2 at a time" club

Although my reasons for it have always been for either important or (admittedly) self-serving reasons.

The important reason: During uni, I read for the kind of subject that had multiple classes studying book-length works, so I learned to juggle having up to 4 classes with required reads going on. I somehow kept them straight, but it wasn't always easy. After that one semester, reading two books at a time has been nothing.

The self-serving reason: Amazon has a reading insights page that tracks your reading. You get perks for reading Kindle e-books through it, a record of how many days/weeks read in a row, or little "achievements" you can earn for reading their ebooks by number of books, frequency, and so on. You don't get paid for any of this or store credits or any of that. Just the personal goals fulfilled thing. For me, it keeps me on track to read at least a bit of something every day, no matter what.

So I'm always reading a Kindle e-book, especially if I have something else to read that isn't Kindle-friendly. It doesn't mean I'm not reading on my Kindle Fire tablet--I almost always am, but I have a bunch of ePub books that don't count toward the achievements. That's why I schedule my yearly TBR taking that into account.

Yes, I plan my reading for the year. I'd never get through my TBR pile if I didn't.

"The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity..."

Read on!!

4. I know what you mean

That is me. Those free and 99 cent books are turning me into a book hoarder. At least they do not take up any actual space just kindle space.
