Guilty Pleasure:: Books

Okay, I will admit it. I LOVE to read. I read whenever I get the chance. I know there are many times I should be doing something else- reading my Bible, praying, playing with my kids, cleaning something, cooking something- anything but reading!!

My home away from home is the public library- more specifically, the main branch of the Newport Beach Library. Any chance I can stop by and grab some books- I am there!! I also appreciate friends who lend me books, or book swaps- as long as I don't have to buy them.
Tonight before heading to my mom's for dinner, I swung by and picked up 7 new books (all in the S section of fiction authors). I tend to do this- I find one author I like and start looking at all the books in their area. I am usually not disappointed.
I even keep a book journal of the books I have read (starting fall of 2002). This has come in handy since I have picked up the same book several times and am glad I have a record of what I have read already. The most books I have read is about 130 in one year, but I am trying to not read so many and focus more on the quality of book instead of the quantity!!

Happy Reading!!
