I know I won't get to them, and I don't want to feel guilty. LOL Of course, then I end up buying them because I want them anyway--and there they sit unread anyway. <br /><br />I really enjoyed Practical Magic and hope you will too if you ever get to it.

I loved and adored The Rules of Magic, but Practical Magic was a big disappointment for me. In fact... I tell people to read the prequel and watch the Practical Magic movie instead of reading the book. Ha ha.

I usually end up buying the books I really, REALLY want to read so I know I can take as long as I need to finish them.

But now I tell myself that the authors are still getting some money every time someone borrows one of their books from the library (in the UK), so even if I don't get to read it, it's still better than leaving it on the shelf.Marina Sofiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251903359649828285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-29510856136787944422019-04-12T21:51:19.318-05:002019-04-12T21:51:19.318-05:00Number 4 and 5 are good.

Big country houses and a mystery of some sort.<br /><br />I seem to get all the books at once, too bad they can't be staggered by the library. Some I want to read and then it doesn't grab me as I thought it might.

Not so much anymore- we live really close to the library, we're there ALL the time (hence my blog name), and I try to be deeply honest with myself about what I have time to read and what I'll actually read so that I'm not bringing home things I won't actually bother with. (And the online renewal thing is SO awesome!)

Most of my books I request and put on hold, so some can take days or months to actually show up. Meanwhile, I keep ordering more(lol) and before I know it there's a pile. I normally end up having to re-order the books that I ended up ROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417463444013920901noreply@blogger.com
