Jack (jack_) Haha, that's tough, I only put books that I REALLY want to read on my to read list.


message 17: by DENISA (new)

DENISA HOWE | 125 comments that is just it Jack.... I REALLY want to read them all... I am Amazon's best customer lol. I can't seem to fill my reading crave... at home I have over 2500 books and I didn't keep everyone I have read or bought.Last year alone my total spent on books for entertainment not college books included was $832.00


message 18: by DENISA (new)

DENISA HOWE | 125 comments That is a little over 50 bucks a month... Course it is more but between you and me... that's our little secret. You should have seen my bill before I got my kindle and discovered free downloads and this site


message 19: by Jack (new)

Jack (jack_) Wow, Denisa. Don't worry I won't tell anyone!


message 20: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments Hoe do you have over 2500 books!? It just seems impossible even if you buy books all the time. Oh the joy it will be to have my own house and money.


message 21: by DENISA (new)

DENISA HOWE | 125 comments Adriana I buy books constantly. I belong to book clubs and after you buy so many you get some free. I love to go to fea markets and old book stores and well I buy from Amazon every week almost. It figures out to about 83 books a year or something like that since the age of 20. I use to buy some from the library when they would remove old titles..
I am also a shoe hoarder, I have like 300 pairs...hahaha yep my hubby must really love me...

I have the same problem, Denisa. I look at it this way, I will never have nothing to read. It's kinda like book insurance;)


message 23: by DENISA (new)

DENISA HOWE | 125 comments ah I like that book insurance... Plus if they ever go to all digital printing... I will still have many books...


message 24: by DENISA (new)

DENISA HOWE | 125 comments I am now up to 41 books of my 208, that leaves 167 to go in 11 months which is 15 books a month and about 3 to 4 books a week... unless I skip a week and then the figures are all wrong. lol


message 25: by DENISA (new)

DENISA HOWE | 125 comments I have now read 48 books... and on to A White Wind Blew by James Markert
