i am so happy to have found this thread...not only to read that I am not as bad off as I think but to know there are others like me.
I used to love to read, but then I had my daughter and went back to school so reading just felt like a way to get her to sleep or something I
had to do for school. I lost my passion for it. this year, more so after joining this forum, I have tried getting back in the game. I have only read about 7 books in the last 2-3 months, but for me i feel pretty good about it.
I do know have to admit that I found that I have an addiction to free/discounted. I spend much of my day in the freebies sections. I have always been a horror/thiller/mysery person but thanks to my fellow addicts in the freebie section i have started to get into Romantic Suspense. Back when I only read [s]actual[/s] physical books, i didn't realize how much I was addicted to buying books. I was funny about it, I
had to have hard covers, wouldn't buy anything else, but i also only bought books for my very favorite authors. Any other books I would get at those
lovely little annual Library Sales when you could go crazy and maybe spend like a 0.25 -3 for a book you know was well worth more than that. but now, i see a freebie and I click. no matter what (unless it looks really stupid). I figure if I never get to it, my mother, step mother or aunts might. Sad right?! to get them just because its free. The truly sad thing is I have about 50 books on my amazon wishlist (just started it last month) and most of them are only 0.99 (many of those bundles) but I am holding out until they are free. It kills me to because I know I should get them now while I can at that price, but i just remind myself that teenagers are expensive and I cannot afford to spend money on me. What is that?!
OK. I have confessed/vented enough for a newb to the thread, but I am sure I'll be back soon
