Where's the 12-step group?

Let's face it, Kar and I will NEVER have enough bookshelf space.

We are both bookaholics.

She has 3 bookcases in her room, one is 5' tall! I have 3 that are 5' and 4 that are 3' tall. Plus, I use every inch available in our DVD collection bookcases!

We hate getting rid of ANY books. Still, we give our "discards" and dupes to several Library Friends clubs for their fundraising efforts. Of course, we buy quite a few books from those sales, too!

We have entire author series and collections, like Rowling and Grisham. Our selections range like Barnes and Noble: finance, romance, books in Spanish, biographies, self-help, religion, ___ for Dummies. There are classics like Hamlet and Tom Sawyer, and pure fluff like Evanovich. Kar owned and devoured pretty much the entire 12th grade literary read requirements before she even hit high school!

It's difficult for us to browse our shelves for a book that we haven't yet read.

And I am probably the ONLY parent to ever ground my child from her books and be asked by teachers that she NOT bring a book to class every single day! Poor teachers!
