I have 13 books waiting to be read on my Kindle. There's another 24 on my wish list and that's with keeping my wish list short. I'm sure I could add the same amount of books again to it.

There's not enough hours in the day to read all the books I want to!

I play the lottery in the hope I win, can stop work and spend my days reading all the books I want to ( although I'm still not sure I would be able to read them all! ) Grin

Why are there so many interesting books out there?
I think it's time to make a stand. Who's with me? Grin

Tell me about it. I work in a library and am constantly distracted by lovely shiny books that I get fuck all time to read!

BackontheFence how about a two month grace so anything waiting to be published can still be but after the cut off point no more books for a long time. Grin

frugalfuzzpig I've always wanted to work in a library but I don't think I'd last long before being sacked because I would be distracted by the books and wouldn't actually do any work! Grin

Ha ha! YANBU. I have this problem too! I had the afternoon off yesterday and spent most of it lying on the sofa reading. It was bliss. But it barely made a dent in my to-be-read pile.

I recently asked my sister if she ever felt sad to think that there would never be enough time to read all the books you wanted to. She just looked Confused and Hmm

YABU cos I keep getting books thinking they look great and then they are RUBBISH. Angry
Authors need to be writing lots of good books for me.

We've just got back from a trip to the library. I sat reading a newspaper while my DD's chose their books. There was no way I was going to look at all those lovely books in there. Grin
