No, not stitching stash or quilting, that's a given. I am officially addicted to books. In a bid to make myself go cold turkey I just counted all the books I have that I haven't yet read and I have 136. including two more I bought this morning whilst grocery shopping.
In my defence sunny weather always makes me buy books because I love lying outside in the sunshine with a book. Still, 136 is a little excessive.
So, I am now resolved that I will allow myself to buy one book every time I finish five from my stash. In reality this probably means 15 books read before I go to a bookshop as I generally make use of the three for two offers.
I am allowed to buy Lia as many books as I see fit though.
Life has been quite busy here over the last couple of weeks - work has picked up and I've been stitching and quilting like a mad thing to get some long term outstanding projects done and out of the way so I can start some new things.
I finally persuaded DH to clear off the full memory card from his camera a couple of days ago so I shall be taking some pictures this weekend.

Now I would normally argue that you can't have too many books but 136 unread is a little extreme. LOL Allie
Actually I've found three more since I posted...
Ummm ..... only 136? These days it seems like my loft is full of books of mine that I haven't read. And I'm being ruthless and getting rid of rather a lot of them!
I´m glad I´m a complete novice compared to you... 139 is one heck of a total :)
Look forward to seeing pics soon.
Erm, 140, I found another one hiding in the kitchen.
Still, at least that's a round number right?
Well, you sure made me laugh - the two dozen or so I have laying around pale in comparison - now I can feel guilt free about buying some more.
One way to cut down on the pile and see less is to move them around lol.
