These will make a lovely addition to my bookshelves. I find that it is so difficult to walk into a bookstore and not leave with something. It’s also hard to put books down. I often end up carrying four to five books at a time trying to talk myself out of buying at least two of them. I try to remind myself to write down the names, go home and find them on Amazon. I don’t mind used copies. But sometimes I just haaave to have a certain book right then.

Some will ask, “Jenn, if you read so many books, why not save some money and get a library card?” To this I would reply, “Because.” I like to own books. I like to write in the margins and fold the top corner of a page with a quote I like. I enjoy highlighting. I also like to give the book to someone who I think would enjoy it when I’m done. And to be quite honest, I just like seeing my bookshelves filled 
But I appreciate that person being so concerned about my finances.

Please keep your fingers crossed for the following reasons:
\
1. I have my NCBTMB exam on Monday. This is the test that will allow me to get my massage therapist license.
\
2. I mailed in my application for an internship with a coroner’s office today. I want it. Badly.
\
3. Da Bears will have another year with Grossman. Say goodbye to the Superbowl now Chicago. Bye-bye ::waves::

My trick for remembering books? (I’m the BlackBerry Freak in case you forgot) I have a list in my Memo Pad of books I want. Also one for CDs or iPod songs.

Fingers are crossed. And I totally agree with you about owning books and going to book stores. Even if I never read them again, I just like having books.
