The favourite author thing is hard. But no matter who launches a new ebook, I'm not buying another until July at the earliest! |

I think last time I worked it out that I had 7 years worth of reading to do in my Calibre library

I think I can manage that, with the caveat that it doesn't include review copies. I will also read at least two books off my list.

My NYT Book Review arrived on my Kindle today.
I read it. [I'm so ashamed.] [I have fallen.] [Again.] |

one of my friends on GR set her 2011 reading challenge to 500 books. i think, given the number on our TBR list, we would do well to follow her example

Why didn't somebody tell me there was a meeting in this room?
I've been next door in the Deals room curled up in a corner crying for help. Hello my name is apesmom and I have an ebook hoarding problem. I'm spending more time reading about reading and shopping for deals than actually reading. I've had my NC for a little over 4 months and now have 451 books in my library. I've spent more than $1 on 113 and still have almost 400 left to read (not counting my DTB TBR pile which has dwindled to a mere 70). I cannot resist a sale or coupon code, thinking that if I don't buy it now on sale for $2 it will cost $8 if I want to read it in 2 years. I need help . . . oh wait is that a new Kobo code . . . .brb. |

I can do a book a day for a while, but I can't sustain it for more than a couple of weeks before I need to slow down for a bit. Otherwise I get "book overload".

I always set my GoodReads challenge to 365, but I don't ever expect to meet it. I just like to see my little progress bar. |

I am not an ebook addict. Though I am an ebook device addict. They seem to keep getting better all the time.

Lol for me reading was life. I didn't do anything else but eat, sleep and read...sometimes skipping the first 2. Now I spend more time reading online forums about reading lol. Easier to walk away if needed :P

I think it was about 2 weeks ago, not bad eh? But I may be forced to buy my next book club book as an ebook, it's cheaper than the pbook. How many freebies do we have to get before they count do you reckon?
