Love it! I checked out the post about going off books. YIKES! I am considering trying this for a week this summer.... but wow. It really is an addiction and I wonder how I would do?
ReplyDeleteHave I told you thanks lately for collecting such eclectic links for our perusal? Awesome post as usual. Especially the bookish ones this week.
ReplyDeleteThe bookish ones are good this week. Thanks for all of them; I'm interested in the one about long books. And thanks for the link to my post about spoilers!
ReplyDeleteKay-- Oh goody! Another PP fan!
ReplyDeleteCMash-- Yes, we mysterious book bloggers should stick together!
Sheila-- I don't think I would do at all well, and I don't think my husband would want me to try it! LOL
"Bumbles"-- You're very welcome!
Jeanne-- You're welcome!
I loved two of the articles, the one about not reading for a week and bookcases, I've already sent the link to friends and am currently discussing what would happen to me if I gave up books on IM with a friend.
ReplyDeleteKris-- I'm so glad you liked those links!
