Now what??!!!! Have you signed up for those book clubs yet? You know the ones, monthly clubs that you can buy one or a hundred books. That’s one kind. Then there are those who are willing to ship out 2-4 books each month so that you can always have reading material. Uh huh. Well, I signed up for both. At the time, I was really missing my reading. We did not have that many books and all had been read a couple of times, at least.

I had been to our small library several times. When that happens, it’s over until they get more. Sigh. But then I got some info in the mail about book clubs. I went online to see what was what. Not bad. I could get up to 4 books a month for not that much money. I signed right up. That wasn’t all. I also signed up for 3 book clubs that had genre specific books. Well, it was really 4. I forgot to count the cooking book club. So, after it was all said and done, I had 4 book clubs and the one that was sending out 4 books at a time. Not enough!!! I was constantly running out of reading material. I should say here that I didn’t get new books from the big 5 every month. Those were held in reserve for when I was really needing a book.

When the offer came out that I could have some suspense books from that place that sent out the 4, I could not stand it. I had to have them. Now I had 8 books a month. The company was not satisfied that I was getting just the 8 so they sent out some more for free! These were so that I could get an idea of a different kind. I ended up with them too!!! Are you beginning to get the picture here?

Picture this: A mountain of books and me in the middle. ACK!!! A nightmare? Not really. I would have loved that. Eventually, it wasn’t about the books but about the bills that came with them. I admit it. I am a bookaholic. I need my books. I must have books. But maybe in the future I could try to have them a few at a time.

Want to know the really crazy part? Now that I blog so much, I don’t have time to read but the books keep coming every month!!! I have boxes and boxes of books to read. What a life! I love it.
