I crack those books out if I know I'm going out of town for more than a few nights.<BR/><BR/>Bookwormom - I do glom but I will buy entire backlists and then parse them out slowly.<BR/><BR/>C2 - yikes! That still happens with her books doesn't it. It's okay, I have those re-issued Loveswepts in the pile!<BR/><BR/>Nath - you read so fast too! I think it's from my early days before the internet. I never knew when Julie Garwood's next book would be out - I knew nothing! I didn't know about backlists, I didn't know publishing schedules or anything so it would feel like forever before I would stumble upon a new book by her. Lots of squeals or joy and I couldn't stop myself from dropping everything and immediately reading the entire book in one sitting. Now I have the 'tuck away and save' mentality. I just need to loosen it up a bit!<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133634.post-47628663233674858832008-07-26T13:52:00.000-04:002008-07-26T13:52:00.000-04:00LOL, I don't hoard books at all.

I wait a little, but that's mostly because I've anticipated the book so much, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133634.post-28261474462919680992008-07-26T00:52:00.000-04:002008-07-26T00:52:00.000-04:00Kindred spirits indeed. ;-) Great minds etc...It...Kindred spirits indeed. ;-) Great minds etc...<BR/><BR/>It's going very well! I'll admit, so far I'm more interested in the secondary storylines - but that's usually how I am with Suz's books.

I usually trend more toward the glom reader type though. I have to say I like C2's strategy.

Sure it's painful but when everyone else has run out of *insert name* I'll still have at least one more book. Join the dark side ;)<BR/><BR/>Caitlin - ahhh, an optimist - maybe it's my pessimistic nature that cause me to hoard. I have my re-read section but I'm just as fiercely protective of that. I swear I think I'll get to my old age, have no money left and will only have a few re-reads to my name. Silly Cindy!<BR/><BR/>Samantha - Bless you!! I was starting to wonder if I had outed my bad self ;) I very much understand what you are saying about *last* books. I couldn't imagine loving something so much and then having it end and know that the author is probably not going to write again. (will the Potter author write again? She doesn't have to that's for sure)<BR/><BR/>Yes! I have Penelope Williamson books sitting on my shelf but I won't read them. I think it's because I know she no longer writes romance. Same with Connie Brockway (okay, I think she's writing contemps but you know what I mean).<BR/><BR/>CindysCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133634.post-28856088580125084342008-07-25T15:38:00.000-04:002008-07-25T15:38:00.000-04:00Hoard?

I have about 4 books by her sitting on my shelf that I keep looking at and patting saying "when this slump gets bad enough I'm going to break you babies out." Then there's a few lone books that made that special place on my shelves; Snyder's Fire Study, Barbara Michaels "Ammie Come Home", and (oddly enough) the last Harry Potter book. Yes I think I'm the only person on the face of the planet that has yet to read that book, but its just so sad. After that book no more potterverse. :( <BR/><BR/>And no I can't bring myself to break the glass either on those books. I'm currently in a reading slump but those books are my preeeescious and I just can't bring myself to do it yet.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395241786319410882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133634.post-47061074504208028282008-07-25T11:19:00.000-04:002008-07-25T11:19:00.000-04:00There are so many wonderful books available that I...There are so many wonderful books available that I would never deprive myself of a good read. There's always another one on the horizon. If I'm sorry to have finished a book, I simply return it to the shelf or library, wait a couple years, and then re-read it again! <BR/>Karen Robards, Barbara Michaels and Robert B. Parker all have books that I can happily re-read from time to time.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164500377578376016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133634.post-79492179306126352092008-07-25T04:55:00.000-04:002008-07-25T04:55:00.000-04:00Hoard?

I will find an author I love and have to have everything thing they have ever written. Buy it and read it and pant for the next release.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.com
