Too Many Books! | 
As someone whose middle name is Claire, this hits a little too close to home. 🤣
(From TheScribblerCMB on Twitter.)
I am currently reading:
In My Own Moccasins by Helen Knott I finished this week‘s section for #SheSaid last night
I started Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard last night too. Read the into, but need to read chapter 1 today yet before I go to that book discussion #NaturalLitsy
I also have going on ebook: Snuff by Terry Pratchett &
Audiobook in my car: Lost at Sea by Jon Ronson

My wife must love me. She assembled these shelves for my new home office. These are just my TBR shelves. I might have a problem.
Do I have too many books going at once? Probably.
Is that going to stop me from starting more? Nope.

4. John Boyne
5. Celeste Ng
6. Octavia Butler
7. Zora Neale Hurston
8. Rohinton Mistry
9. Elena Ferrante
10. James Baldwin
Whoops! My eyes were bigger than my stomach - or something and half my holds have come in at once.
Amongst the 11 holds that have come in is the new Hillary Mantel. I‘m going to be sweating getting through my current books read and then into that 🤪 A fun problem to have though!
Culled several hundred books from my TBR but I'm still well over 1,000. I better learn to read faster.
I've read 7 of the 24 books I bought since covid started. If I succeed with my #bookspinbonanza challenge, I'll be at 11 / 24. But of course today I bought 9 more. 😂😅😂

I saw this in one of my book groups on FB so I had to share here. Now is the best time to laugh and remain/focus on positivity.
"Too many books?! Perhaps what you mean is not enough bookshelves!!"

Guess it‘s time to start getting rid of books again. 🤣
Anyone else prepping their #bookoutlet carts for the Boxing Day sale? I‘m hoping for another gift card this Christmas to fund my shopping 🛍 I have 20 potential purchases lined up!
Let‘s not speak of the 20 books from last year‘s sale I have yet to read. 😬
Half price on everything today at the library book sale! What‘s a bibliophile to do?? Fill all the bags.

I read on the floor for some reason.

Finishing unpacking from my Irish road trip and now have to find room for my new books. #bookloversproblem
Every day I get more concerned about the structural integrity of this poor bookshelf. 😮😂🔧📚📚📚📚📚
I hear a loud crash and run upstairs to find this! 😂 RIP bookshelf. She has too many books. 🙈🙊🙉 The shelf has sagged so much it just will not hold anymore. 😂 😂

One of my bookcases with too many (no such thing) TBR books! I even bet against myself to see if I can go through it all by the end of this year, providing I don‘t get anymore ARCs and buy any more books! What do you think?
#30junebooks #bookstack @howjessreads Ok, I might have a slight problem/obsession?This is only half of my Nora Roberts collection. The rest wouldn‘t fit on the table.
Just realised that I should squeeze in the 1st act of Henry IV Part 1 before tomorrow. From being a reader who only read one book at a time, to progressing to two books at a time as ebooks became a thing (one physical book, one digital), I now find myself reading four different books for buddy reads 🤓
Just now I was reading my daily Genji chapter, then looked at my copies of Shirley & Henry IV looking back at me, & I became this meme 🤣

look how happy she is up there.
This is my #bookoutlethaul for Boxing Day. I really have no room for any more books, so I think 2019 must be the year of ebooks (because my book buying ban was a spectacular failure!).
I‘m trying to finish the last of the books I‘ll reasonable read this year. I‘m almost at the end of Blood Meridian and I‘m working on Predator‘s Gold. I‘ve been listening to the audiobook version of The Fisherman. If I can finish those, I‘ll have 83 books for the year which isn‘t too shabby. This year is easily the best reading year I‘ve ever had. Litsy has worked wonders for keeping me accountable so thanks everyone! ❤️
My daughter decided that she wants to give me a book for Christmas, so she informed my husband that she‘ll need his help. I‘m supposed to provide a list of choices and they will surprise me with one of them.
And then hubby had to go and ruin it by asking where I‘m going to put another book.
So, I may have a problem. Maybe. I‘ve my limit for library books. I‘ve actually cleared a shelf for library book storage. So, #libraryhaul addiction? Impulse control issues? At this point it‘s unlikely I‘ll hit my #mounttbr goal cause of all the library books I‘ve read the last few months... there‘s always next year, right?!? #booknerdproblems 🤓📚💜
My mother looked around my bedroom the other day and asked if I had enough books.
As a Litten, the only appropriate answer is, “Never!”
She commented that she didn‘t need the library when she could just borrow from me. Somehow, I don‘t see her reading most of these books any time soon 😉
You have books on the shelves. You have books on the night stand. You have books in the closet, the guest room, and on the floor. Oh, and don‘t forget about the books waiting for you in the mailbox. Some would say, “You have too many books.”But as any book lover knows, there‘s really no such thing as “too many” books.
#toomanybooks #notenoughtime
The challenge for the Bout of Books readathon today was to post books published in 2018. That is when I realized that I may have a small book addiction. #sorrynotsorry #boutofbooks
5 words to describe my reading life: Too many books, no time!
#50kreadinglifegiveaway
I got the “don‘t buy any more books” lecture from my hubby today! 😱
#toomanybooks
Happy Friday, gang! I started the morning book-shaming myself. 😉
I will say that since joining Litsy in 2016, I‘ve acquired too many books, but I‘ve also read a ton more!
I have a few questions for those of you who use NetGalley:
1. What's your feedback ratio? Are you over the 80% mark?
2. Is it terrible that I'm only at 52%? I'm reading and reviewing as quickly as possible, but that % is dragging.
3. Do you read yours in the order you received them or in the order they'll be published?
Thanks!
One of four bookshelves we spent the afternoon rearranging. Now I want to read them all, and don‘t know which one to read next! #bookishproblems
#cantstopstartingbooks #justonemore
I really need to #hititorquitit and tackle #mtbr 🏔️ but there are so many books I feel like reading right now!
I was all excited about dog-sitting for my boss for a night and one day, then I realized I need to pick a book to bring with. Or 5. At least I have until Friday.
Took this pic five years ago. Since then, I‘ve purged my selves, and filled them back up again. 😏
My ideal apartment layout
$29 and one serious lapse of judgement later, I give you......the library sale book plunder! Because it‘s January and I needed a pick-me-up....or 25. It‘s ok...we went the second day so I “wouldn‘t find as much.” 🤪
A friend sent this to me on Facebook this morning! 😂 I‘m also a fan of referring to the floor as the biggest shelf in the house, thus justifying my many scattered stacks. Happy Friday, everyone!
Gahhh! I am running out of room again for books! Where do I put them all!? Because I am certainly not stopping... 🤔.
Visit my blog www.booksaremything.blogspot.com I've been posting my favorites of 2017 the past two days (fiction favorites yesterday, nonfiction today, and YA/middle grade tomorrow). What are your favorite books of 2017?
This is a great article that completely justifies why I recently purchased a book about the history of hot air ballooning 😬. https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/why-you-should-stop-feeling-bad-about-all-t...
Old #TBR Photo, because I am too lazy to get out of bed. It looks about the same now, just a few different books. I just added all the pages and came out to about 30000 pages of unread books 😂 Ummm, I shouldn't have done that 😅
