I have ten e-books in my Kindle. I can't stop buying books, even when I know I don't have time read them because writing comes first.
Total addict behavior, I know.
There is something comforting about having a book I really want to read waiting for me. It inspires me to get my work done so I can relax. I'm not an indepth reviewer. You won't see me picking apart a book or movie. Taste is so subjective in my opinion. What one person loves another might hate.
Much like my husband's aborted attempt to finish GRRM's GAME OF THRONES, and my refusal to touch his history books unless it's for research purposes. We do come together for other books. You know the saying, "Try it. You might like it." Well, that's all anyone can ask for.
So if I like something I'll tell you. If I don't, well, I also follow the wise advice my mom gave me, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
My opinions are my own. I'll leave you to make your own decisions.
Yes, I have this same problem. I just can't stop buying books. I do agree with you on reviewing books. I only ever review books I really enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteOrigin looks really good on your stand. The cover is so gorgeous, isn't it?
Yes, it's a gorgeous cover. My daughter stole the book from me when it arrived. She absolutely loved it. I'm trying to talk her into writing a review.
DeleteDon't even get me started on this, Angie!! I have the opposite problem -- I desperately want to read, but I never have the time because I'm too busy editing all my own stuff. My debut novel was just released, so then I thought I'd have some time to read some books. But no -- gotta build the platform and market the book! *sighs* I sure hope I can get back into reading again -- my first love! Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm right there with you, Cheryl. That's why my pile grew so large. Critiquing for my partners, editing my own ms. I finally have a week where I can curl up in bed and read. It's a blessed relief. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my edits don't come back this week (okay, maybe not, lol). But I am looking forward to tackling my pile before it grows even bigger.
ReplyDeleteNice pile! I miss having a pile. *laughs*
ReplyDeleteSoon, my sister. Soon you'll be able to relax. And I'll be able to read your SSP, lol.
DeleteI so agree with you. I don't mention a book unless I have something nice to say about it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading. You definitely have some interesting titles on there.
Thanks for leaving a comment, Akoss. I'm enjoying my books so far. Just wish I had more time:)
DeleteYou win. I have a few books to read (from library) and two waiting on my kindle.
ReplyDeleteWith me it becomes a panic thing. Probably because of the due date issue. I've got to get these done because they won't let me renew anymore!
