This is a disease

So, I'm dying to buy The Paris Wife and The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels. But before I do, I really need to read some of the following, all currently on my shelves:

The Ninth: Beethoven and the World in 1824. Beethoven's Letters. My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams. Charles Dickens. Knowing Dickens. Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities and the French Revolution. Martin Chuzzlewit. Sketches by Boz. Mr. Dick or The Tenth Book. The Master's Cat: The Story of Charles Dickens as Told by His Cat. Katey: The Life and Loves of Dickens's Artist Daughter. Grand Obsession: A Piano Odyssey. A Daughter's Love: Thomas More and His Dearest Meg. All but My Life. Sala's Gift. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. The Complete Saki. Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker. Walking on Water. Fly Fishing with Darth Vader. The Great Typo Hunt. Studies in Words. Reading Like a Writer. Mockingbird. The Glass-Blowers. Hide My Eyes. London Refrain. Full Dark House. The Collected Poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay. The Autobiography of G. K. Chesterton.  Havah. Almost Heaven. Resurrection. The Heart of the Artist. The Control Freak. Why Grace Changes Everything. God Hides in Plain Sight.

And that's not even all of them.

I need professional help.

Mwahaha! You are so me.

And I am DYING to read the Pioneer Woman book! That woman has stolen my life!

If I remember correctly, you were the one who first pointed me to her! I'm glad you did -- I love her blog.

(And I think I've said this before, but I love that icon.)

Oh, cool! I need to catch up. Haven't been there in a while.

Icon is by bison_ate_mycar, if you want to use. Wouldn't Hawkeye and I make a great couple? Well, except for the part where I'd kill him in his sleep.

Okay, that last sentence LITERALLY made me LOL. :D

You know it's true!

We're even. I just did the same thing reading this. Hee!

Sounds like me. A couple of years ago, I was going through my books in order to weed some out, and I found ones that I didn't even remember owning. *facepalm*

And this is why I try never to buy books I haven't read - I get the new reading from buddies, or the library, or if I'm really curious about a new book, I go sit in dark corners of bookstores and read really quickly...

That said, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is pretty much amazing. And a bunch of the others sound really wonderful :-)

lol! That is exactly how I am with books! I am almost finished with "The Hallowed Hunt," plus with I want to read books similar to my current novella, so I have a strong urge to buy more books...

but I don't even have the money!
