I love going to bookstores and I rarely come out empty handed, but I don't always get around to reading the books that I purchased. So many books, so little time. I know I can't be the only person who does this. (Or maybe I am. Who knows?)

So my question to you is: What is a book that you own, but you haven't read? Or are you someone who always reads the books that you buy?

Me, too! I keep getting book recommendations from friends, family, and various book websites that I follow and I have a TBR list that is at least a couple miles long. I figure that I will never have to worry about not having something to read.

Laurie(Time Stand Still) (timestandstill) | 2 comments How many books do you read at the same time though? right now I'm in the middle of two and have read the prologue of another.

I usually have three going at one time because I bring home way too many books from the library. I find the new ones so tempting that I'll start right away even though I'm still in the middle of another one. I know a book is really compelling if I stick with it - and only it! - until I finish.
