Just when I think I've got my reading list under control I start browsing through web pages and book lists hunting for new titles to blog about and suddenly I find myself adding more and more titles to my own reading list.It's a bit like the finger in the dyke story only the idea of being flooded with books actually sounds quite nice. Though if they were to come all at once it could, I think, be quite painful.
Death by book avalanche anyone?
There is, I fear, no hope for me and my never ending reading list.
Even if I wasn't a librarian my reading list would still be out of control. There's just something about their glossy covers and blurbs that tempt me with whispered words that I can't resist.
I'm an addict I know and it's an addiction that I hope never leaves me however much I sometimes regret my endlessly long reading list.
This year there seems to have been particularly busy year in the book world with a plethora of new titles streaming out or perhaps it's just that my reading has reached epic proportions, either way I know that I'm going to be having a very busy summer working my way through an increasingly large pile of books.
From fashion to murder to romance hopefully there is something here for everyone.
