I'm going to have to put her on my list. <BR/><BR/>Sav - how great to come from such a family of readers! I got my love of reading from my dad.<BR/><BR/>Anitra - love the book in the kitchen! I might actually be motivated to cook if I told myself I could read while stuff was in the oven.<BR/><BR/>Lexie - you sound like me. My to-be-read pile tends to be the books I'm not so sure about, since I've read everything else. I love it when I find a gem in that pile.Holli Bertramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278935094638070376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-26976374370928471192008-03-04T08:26:00.000-06:002008-03-04T08:26:00.000-06:00Holli, I've never even HEARD of waiting to read a...Holli,<BR/> I've never even HEARD of waiting to read a fave book...my kids and I take them out of the bag in the van as soon as we leave the bookstore (okay, I have to drive, so I don't actually read mine that fast). At the same time, I'm like some of the others...I have a stash of books to be read, but they're the ones I got cheap at the library and wait until I have nothing else to read. Finally, like Anitra, I have books I read at different places. I have a devotional I read every morning at breakfast (a real book, though, not the little prayer a days--St. Augustine's Confessions, for example), one in the bathroom (another one I can only read for short times--right now, it's Greece for Dummies), and then my fun books!<BR/> Interesting post! <BR/> LexieLexie O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04852547353184636030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-25367415763683339502008-03-03T22:51:00.000-06:002008-03-03T22:51:00.000-06:00Great post!

Then, I have a book in my bathroom. Ya. I read while in the potty. Then, I have a book in the kitchen to peruse while I'm cooking. Then, I have a book at my bedside for those insomnia moments. So, at any given time, I'm reading 4 or 5 books. I think the thing is I don't really like TV so I turn to books to entertain me during those down times. But would I put off a Catherine Asaro novel? Er, no. I'd probably carry it in my purse. Same with Catherine Spangler or Patrica Sargeant--those are the novels I carry with me because I can't WAIT to read them. :) But I can understand someone saving up their favorite author as a total "pick me up" book. I mean, I get that, but I want the pick me up all day long. I guess I just can't wait! :)Anitra Lynn McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797697362449591887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-76024554597819227802008-03-03T18:07:00.000-06:002008-03-03T18:07:00.000-06:00Holli, I'm the queen of delayed gratification in a...Holli, I'm the queen of delayed gratification in a lot of ways, but not with books. <BR/>My Grandmother kept a room-full of books.

There's nothing worse than being house-bound with nothing that you want to read. The advantage of having a sieve for a memory is that you can reread with almost as much enjoyment!<BR/>Mel, I have a book of short stories in my car, and another book in my briefcase. I think I need a bigger purse, so I can stick one in there, too :).Holli Bertramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278935094638070376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-67430582404786092132008-03-03T11:09:00.000-06:002008-03-03T11:09:00.000-06:00Great subject, Holli!I've recently had a shift in ...Great subject, Holli!<BR/><BR/>I've recently had a shift in my reading habits. Where a few years ago I might have read my faves right away, I find myself using these as rewards. If I do 3,000 words on Saturday, I can start the latest Charlaine Harris. Once I finish the PMA awards judging, I can FINALLY read that Kim Harrison.<BR/><BR/>Evonne - I'm the same way. I fear being stranded without reading material, so I keep a sizeable TBR pile, and there's always a book in my purse. My dad used to tease me and say, "In case of a reading emergency..."Mel Hiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945592428034100547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-50598478772057624012008-03-03T09:47:00.000-06:002008-03-03T09:47:00.000-06:00HolliI have a whole shelf of 'not yet reads' which...Holli<BR/><BR/>I have a whole shelf of 'not yet reads' which probably makes me some kind of control freak - may be true - I have a horror of being sick, snowed in, otherwise incapacitated and having nothing to read - it's genetic, my mother is the same - hence the stash of books!Evonne Warehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758272781706735694noreply@blogger.com
