What a Day Sunday-Vent

Tweet

So Sunday I took sown all the books that I had signed and posted them in an album on Facebook as well as scanned them into the collection app that I have. The reason they were put on Facebook at all is because I have this thing that when it rains it pours. When I loose one thing, I tend to loose it all and I've been there, done that, don't feel like going through it again. So yeah, everything that is on my phone, the important books or movies that I need to keep track of, all have an album on Facebook because I can always find a way to get on there if I need to. Now I'll be the first to admit that my collection is pretty big. My husband and I have worked for about 8 years to grow it. Some I was able to get signed in person, some were bought from yard sales, some were bought at McKay's and some were off the author's website. I never thought that I would be condemned for it. Especially by someone that I haven't talked to in months. After I was finished getting everything in the album, I received a message basically saying that I spend too much on books. A friend of mine says she has book envy and not to pay her any mind but it kind of got to me. I don't talk to this individual in months because of a separate incident with her best friend and this is the message I get. I shouldn't let it get to me but I can't help it. I've never been ashamed of any of collections before and it's wrong of her to try and do that now. I know why she messaged me about it. Knowing though doesn't make it any easier. It just sucks.
