We’re almost at the end of the year, so here I am, again, with a book haul. I’ve tried many times to stop myself buying books but it’s something that can’t be helped, I’ve learned this year. All I can do is slow down my book-buying pace a bit, which I hope I will be successful in doing next year. This year goes down in my life’s record as the year I bought the most books….unless I surpass the amount later in life. Anyways, the books.

That’s a lot of books. Do you have any more space on your shelves???

That’s a good question. I ran out of space so I bought a small one to add the spill over there but now it’s almost full.
