Adrienne’s comments from the Book Buying Addicts Anonymous group.

I mostly use my Kindle for books that are too big to hold in the regular book editions and for the New York Times Book Review. I have it automatically downloaded to my Kindle every month. Way cheaper than the print edition.

I always get bookmarks as souvenirs. And my aunt and I always trade bookmarks for birthday gifts.

This is an ambitious list! I tried to do this once, but I'm such a rebel that just HAVING a reading list makes me want to read anything that's not on the list. I have a burgeoning TBR shelf at home, so I guess my list would be anything that's on that shelf.

Good luck with yours!

I know someone who stores books in plastic boxes. It seems to work. One caveat, though. If you stack them up, they will eventually cave in the boxes on the bottom.

I work at the library so paying money to get books is heresy, but my friend is looking into this. Does it seem a little pricey? How do you like it?

Or "cover slut"

...when you coin a term specifically for that feeling you get the day after a late-night reading jag: book hangover.

...when you plan a road trip to another city so you can go on a "bookstore crawl".
