Stop Me Before I Buy Again

[the_other_sandy]

I'm supposed to be decluttering my poor apartment by reading the bazillion print books I already own but haven't read yet, but I have fallen sufficiently in love with my Nook that I keep buying books for it and reading those instead. On the plus side, I actually am reading the books I've bought for my Nook, so I'm not just building up a new backlog there. I'm also reading more books now than I did last year when I was trying the 50 Books Challenge. But none of this reading is helping ease the clutter. I need to be reading the print books.

I dislike those tall, skinny books, too. Besides being awkward to hold they completely screw up bookshelf alignment. I haven't started to replace the un-read books yet, but I am working on my favorite series. I've got all the Dresden books, all the Harry Potter books, and now I'm working on the Eve Dallas series (a daunting prospect as it is so long). I don't even want to think about replacing all of my Anne McCaffrey collections, or Katherine Kurtz, or...

It's kinda like when I had to start replacing all of my video tapes with dvds. :/
