Art/craft type books Ah, stitch pr0n. The current reshelving activities have rather highlighted just how many embroidery books I own. I'm never going to do even one project from each--not without several extra lifetimes.
Kiddie books Never stopped buying them. Now I buy some for me for immediate consumption and to be passed onto Looby Loo later and some I borrow back from her when she's not looking.
My book buying policy is currently: finish three, buy one. But looky here, it's Easter, my major book buying time of the year.
I was a fast reader until I went to uinversity to read booksstudy English. Twenty years on I've still not got out of the habit of reading as if studying (and writing notes).
