DH said today he would divorce me if I bought any more books. Joking I think but he was pretty serious he didn't want me to buy the DC's any more books. I'd say they have about 250, they are 3 and 1. I was looking at a few Julia Donaldson ones on amazon that we don't have but he doesn't understand how pleasant they are to read. I love adding to our collecting and see it as a good investment. He's being unreasonable isn't he?

Nothing like the smell and feel of a book. I saw a QI a while back that said that there is something in the mould produced by paper that is addictive.
I've been addicted since childhood!

I think she loves her books as much as Peter Andre loves his kids.

THAT much.

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 01/01/2013 00:52

Wow! You really love your books! Grin

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 01/01/2013 00:54

I am a bibliophile. Doesnt stop me owning a Kindle though! Mine has 463 books on it, most were free and it fits in my back pocket!

SarahWarahWoo · 01/01/2013 00:59

InLoveWithDavidTennant · 01/01/2013 01:01

oh my Shock

sorry folks... the signal on my phone was playing up!

I mentioned this in my post earlier. But why don't you Bibliophile's support your local library?

I always used to buy books until I had my baby and went to get books out for him.

But it's FREE and we're going to lose them if we don't use them.

I love books more than anything in the world and have a house full of them but it's only in the last year I've got into the library and they are really good.

Books are one of life's essentials.
I find it so sad if I go into a house with children and no books.
Mine are on any available shelf space with the additional benefit being that they have insulating properties.

InLoveWithDavidTennant · 01/01/2013 01:28

just figured out how to report!

i hope i got the 12 spares ones Blush Grin
