Obviously, I love to read. I will read pretty much anything that catches my attention.
I am constantly buying books and and not reading them for months and months.
I have a book buying problem and have not confessed to my husband just how many of the books I own that I haven't actually read. It's more than half I'm sure.

    My shelf has reached a milestone - I now have over 1,000 books! I believe at least a little over 300 of those are Wish List. Now if I could just find the perfect hiding place and read them all without worrying about kids, hubby, dogs, bills, cooking, cleaning, laundry...LOL!!!!

    The Ancient One says

    Peace begins with me, with all of us. Heal yourself and the world will be healed. "...and let it (peace ) begin with me" is a verse from a well-known song - reminding us that the changes we want to see and feel in the world, must first begin within ourselves. We can change anything and everything; by creating a new reality inside our own hearts and minds.

    Imagine a world where we can literally save ourselves, where we became our own knight in shining armour, riding off into the sunset. A life where our inner core is untouched by the events of our world and is fed by a source that is uniquely our own, matching every essence of ourselves perfectly. A place of infinite safety and comfort that is priceless.
    Peace within ourselves is a catalyst for a more peaceful world. A state of being where another person’s views or religion is respected and allowed. Recall another song, 'If you're causing no harm then your alright with me'. The richness of life, the richness of the mind and the richness of the heart allows the whole puzzle to come together. All differing views, beliefs and different types of people coming together would create a melting pot of a peaceful humanity.
    The foundation for peace in the world begins with loving ourselves a little more, becoming more compassionate with ourselves. Armoured with some intentional tools of transformation like Faith, Hope, Compassion, Loving Kindness, let's all practice rising every morning, laughing and fearlessly saying out loud 'Today I LOVE myself! I AM a child of the Universe and Peace resides in me'.

    Hi! I just read your review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or Philosopher's Stone as it's known to me), and thought to myself how lucky you are to be experiencing the series for the first time! I hope you enjoy the rest of the novels as much as I did.

    Your book buying "problem" is something I am *very* familiar with... very. But, I have decided I would rather have this "problem" than many of the other problems that seem to be available these days.
    I found a lot of good books on your shelf- I loved looking at what you have!
    Thanks for the new suggestions!

    I'm now reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and am really enjoying the writing style and the characters. I'm guessing that the same female lead character is still in Hornet's nest as well. She's an interesting character, and I'm not sure I've run across a character like her in any other books I've read. I have known some people who had many of her qualities but not the hacker/detective part.
