The Bookaholic

Lawsy, lawsy, lawsy! I registered nearly 200 books on Bookcrossing this weekend, then donated them all to the Schenectady County Public Library. I suspect most of them will show up in their next book sale. Wherever they wind up (on a shelf or at the book sale) is good… people will have access to them. And that’s the whole point.

My goal is to release at least a dozen books for every one that comes into the house… at least until I reach equilibrium. Yeesh, have I got books! This is not as easy as it sounds because books sneak into the house. I’m sure they have little teensy feet like Ballycumber, the Bookcrossing mascot. They climb in windows when no one is looking. It’s the only way to explain the plethora of books that threaten to take over my living space. (Books are one of the reasons why I need such a huge house.)

Reading the latest Kim Harrison book, A Fistful of Charms, that I received Saturday from Booksfree.com. Booksfree is the Netflix of books. Sure, I could get books at the library instead of paying to have them mailed to my house. But I never seem to get to the library. There’s a branch right up the street from my soon-to-be-ex-job, but do I ever stop in after work? No… I just want to get home. There’s a branch next to the bank branch I generally visit, and less than a block from my chiropractor. Do I ever stop in over there? No. Sheesh. Maybe I need a note in my car to remind me.
