I try to keep my tbr pile small (10 books). I do not buy books until I have read most of my tbr pile. It is so hard!!!! I just want to buy ALL the books.

...Though I will admit that last year I signed up for a monthly subscription box, which was great! But I really want to hone in on the books I have or of definite interest to me. I'm desperately trying to get my bookcases under control!

But then I get stuck in hospital and after that, I'm somehow all caught up and back to seeking out more new books.

That said, I love what I do... but I do feel conflicted quite often. Books have always been an escape from a reality that has always left something to be desired, a reality that includes a lot of physical pain from which books have always provided a certain respite that work, as engrossing as it often is, has never been able to match. I rely less on pain meds when I am reading. I look at the ever-expanding collection on the 'unread' shelf and can't help but see each one as comfort deferred.

So many readers and so many books and with all the new technology I was thinking, well, where did the readers go ! I am so glad there are so many thousands out and about, so I can say to those who look at my, any, shelves and shake their heads when they come into my home. I have ones I still have to read and ones I have gone through in a week and have learned some must be past on to others to enjoy.
