It leads to book envy and a complete inability to say no when offered, to request books if not offered and to purchasing when neither of the first two happen! I agree though that 2012 is shaping up to be another phenomenal year in books.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-60901537628128429932012-01-07T16:19:51.535-06:002012-01-07T16:19:51.535-06:00Some bloggers have hundreds of books on their shel...Some bloggers have hundreds of books on their shelves... do you?

I decide that I am only going to read from my shelves, and then I go off to the bookstore or look at online catalogs and get all excited about new things that haven't been released yet.
