Okay - I have a problem. And it's a big one. I'm addicted.
To Books.
If I had time, I would spend every minute of the day reading or listening to books. I am constantly looking up books on the library website or Amazon. For myself and the kids. I keep finding good books that coordinate with our history studies, and either checking them out from the library or buying them. If I read one book on a topic, I usually am inspired to read more on the same topic. If I check out a really, really good book from the library, then I usually want to buy a copy to keep for later, or a memory, or something. I have so many books, that it would take me several years to read them all, and that's only if I didn't get anymore. I also have so many more books that I want, and so many topics I want to read about. I am in 2 book clubs officially and am supposed to be joining a Classics-only book club as well, but can't seem to find time to read just one book and focus on it - like the classics require. I am usually reading 4 or 5 books at any given time. Non-fiction, modern fiction, kids historical fiction, herbal remedy & natural health books, knitting books, travel guides, how-to homeschool books, work-out books...
I guess it's good that I don't spend much money on clothes or beauty-services or decorating-the-house items. This way I don't feel so bad buying books. I figure as long as I spend less then what our monthly golf budget looks like, I'm okay...
