A strange obsession took hold of her... they found her buried beneath a pile of 3for4 books.

Sigh. Well, my new goal is to get to bed by 3 AM and then stick to it. (Sometimes I get there, but then float off again.) But tonight I was sooo sleepy I couldn't resist a nap, so now it's 4:30 AM... It's just that I want to wake up an extra hour early and read before I go to work (now that I have a million more books to get through), and also to get more sleep for when I do day shifts.

I bought more books today. :-( Some more fantasies that Fernando wanted, and then the gal in the French department loaded me up with recommendations. Eeeps! The only section I avoided was Teen/9-12. I didn't dare go ask for recommendations from those staff members (though I would have bought I'd Tell You But Then I'd Have To Kill You if it had been in stock.)

I think this weekend I'll have a big book organizing party of one. I'm in the mood to clean up my bookshelves, sort out the non-fictions, and bring in more books to work if I'm not going to re-read them.

We bought 36 books today... [read more]
