Hi. My name is Shelley, and I am addicted to...

Books.  Lots and lots of books.

I am hoping after I pass through the pearly gates, that this is what I see for miles and miles...
Currently I am reading several books.  I'm embarassed to admit how many, but I will tell you it's more than 3.

Lots of people say that reading is good for you, but I sometimes worry that I'm taking my love of books to an unhealthy level.  I find them to be so mentally consuming and addictive that I often find myself thinking about what is going to happen next in the stories when I have far more important things to be thinking about.  I even feel worried when I am running out of books to read.  I always have at least 40 books on my "Want to Read" list.  If that list is needs replinishing, I sort through best seller lists and blogs to find a new lineup.  Everyone tells me that after/if we have children I won't find time to read like I do now.  Just thinking about that is so depressing.  Hopefully if we have children they'll appreciate reading like I do.

One of my Favorite Book Series:  Harry Potter by JK Rowling

One of my Favorite Books:  Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

One of the Books I'm Currently Reading:  Kiss by Ted Dekker

  1. You just described my addiction to a tee! I don't read books; I devour books! Let's just say the library definitely keeps our bank account in the black!
