BookieMonster freaks out

So ZOMG you guys! This using the library again was such a bad idea. I love libraries – but it turns out I love them, like, way too much and now I owe my library 60c. Which, admittedly, is a heck of a lot less than I owe many other people but weirdly it annoys me the most.

I’m like a little monster in the corner holding all the library books, biting at any hands that try and snatch them back. “I haven’t read them yet, yarrrrgh. Ruh. Ruh.”

But see all those books down there ↓ ? There is too many and I do not have unlimited reading time.  And, just between you and me, that is just a selection. I have more that need to be read.

My main problem is choice, as in, I need it. I can’t just line them up one by one and knock ‘em down. I have to spread them all out and lovingly smell them and gaze at the covers and pick them up and put them down and think “I’ll read that one, no, maybe that one” and…

…I’ve said too much.

So do you have a pile of books waiting to be read? Do you love it or resent it? Do you have just one at a time? Do you restrict yourself? Are libraries a danger to your personal well-being?*

*I’m just kidding, libraries, I love you, really. Just damn you and your deadlines.

And the winner is…

The winner of The Crime of Huey Dunstan by James McNeish is… Tonya Drabble!

I’ll email you shortly!

And the loser is… me. For not announcing this on Tuesday night like I was supposed to. No excuses – epic fail on my part.

I’m so sorry you guys! :(

Yes! I know I was slack yesterday but the competition will go up tonight! There are books – many books (well, about 5 or something) to be won! You can help me – do you prefer a form enter competition or a leave a comment competition?

And because I’m totally immature…

I’ve been a bit quiet. Sorry.

But I made the NZ Book Related Twitterer’s List into a Page all of it’s own. Link s’over there, see →

I have a motherlode of library books to get through in the weekend.

And finally, LoTR fans – you be hating on me, but I couldn’t agree more with this:
