Bookish Bookworm: Me?!? / myLot

I can be both in terms of gaining knowledge and tend to read more than I used to in my younger years. Despite being as busy as a bee, I still try to read novels and collect them. In my family, I am the only one who collects them. I just wanted to have them in my possession and eventually planned to have cabinets full of novels. Are you a book collector?

You are surely a certified one. I wish I could have more time to just reading books. But I cannot at this point in time.

@MarieCoyle I used to do this before. Now, I am more on playing my mobile phone with certain apps that I can some extra pennies.

I read but I do not like to collect them. I will prefer to loan books from the library so that I can read without the need to have ownership on one of them.

Speaking of our city library, they do not have novels to read. They are more on academic textbooks and the like.

@id_peace You said it right. That is why I went there a few times only.

@Shavkat Interesting, that sounds like an academic library than a general library.

@allknowing As for me, I don't need to spare a lot of time reading them. Collecting is fine for me.

I read every day and usually, finish a book in a day or two, depending on how long I read at a time. I have plastic totes in our garage that are full of books. We don't have room in this house to store them.

Can I have them?

I wish I have all the time to read books every day. I might do that in the future if retirement age kicks in.
