And it gets worse when Margie’s with me. In most things, we act as a good restraint on each other. In book stores, we get into a feedback loop (a/k/a Reading Frenzy) that usually ends up with me groaning under the weight of the bags we haul back into the parking lot …

Same for me and Kim, and we’d have it no other way.
The issue is exacerbated by Margie liking to buy remaindered cookbooks. Those things are heavy …
(Of course, it’s not like the net expenditure of calories from lugging them around is wasted or anything.)
Add Katherine into the mix and it get worse. We can’t resist getting books for her.
Book Stores…Gaming Stores…it all good!
Add in music shops and . . . comic shops (when I partake), and you have all of the great stores listed. 🙂
Kim likes craft books — these things get out of control, too, like cook books.
My recent ex-fiance (who put me off women for good) insisted I put my bookshelves and books into storage when she moved in. That really should have been a huge red flag for me!
I just went into Borders tonight for a work calendar and a book for Jackie.
Came out with two books for Jackie, four for me, and almost forgot the calendar.
Avocet — as much as I’d hate to pass judgment on anyone’s relationship … yes, it really should have. 🙂
I know it’s time to move or add on – I’ve run out of room for bookshelves! And Amazon and Alibris make it worse.
Mary, Mary, Mary … you’ve got a huge vaulted ceiling in your living room. You could convert that to bookshelves, with rolling library ladders (access from the landing to the second tier) and have room for books for … well, at least several more months.
