Books Addicts Anonymous

Hello. My name is Kelley Anne. And I'm addicted to books. I can't get enough of them. I don't think that I have ever gone more than a day without reading. I love regular books, audio books, and I'm starting to like e-books. I own so many books that I basically have no room for anything but books. Whenever I think about getting rid of some of my books, I can't handle losing more than a handful of my books. I never go anywhere without at least one book. Even if I am just running to the bank or to pick up dinner somewhere, I always have a book in my purse. You never know when you might have a minute or two to read!

Part of my addiction is about to get a bit out of hand though! Whenever one of my many favorite series comes out with a new book, I always want to first re-read all of the other books in the series. So, I usually plan ahead of time to get all of the book re-read before the new one is released. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, not sure) a bunch of my fav series are all about to release new books! The first one comes out on Tuesday, Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs. This is the 5th book in the series, and I just finished re-reading #3. So, just 1 more to get done before Tuesday. (BTW, here's a link to my review of the first and second books in case you are interested! Moon Called and Blood Bound) Next, The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong comes out on April 6th. It's the 3rd book of the Darkest Powers series. So, that's 2 books that I need to re-read. Then that same week, April 8th, Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr is being released. It's the 4th book in a series (This is my review of #1 Wicked Lovely). So, I have 3 books to get caught back up on. Then a book that I have been dying for, #8 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Lover Mine, by J. R. Ward is coming out on April 27th. Luckily I've already started the re-reads on that, but still have 5 books to go! Next, for all of you Sookie Stackhouse fans, Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris is coming out May 4th. It's #10 in the series! I really hope I get the time to read the first 9 again, but when a series gets this long, it's a bit difficult to pull of sometimes! Lastly, Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead. This is the 5th book of the Vampire Academy series (this is my review of #1 Vampire Academy), and it'll be out on May 18th!

Here's where the number really looks crazy! If you add all of those re-reads, plus actually reading the new books, that's 30 books between now and the end of May!!! Do you think that I can do it? It is doable for me. I've read 44 books so far this year (in three months), and luckily I have almost all of those books on audio so I can listen to them at work. But wow! This is the first time that I've really listed the books that I'm planning on reading, and that's a lot! One good thing for those of you who are also readers. Since I'm going to be re-reading them anyways, I'll try to get reviews written on them all and posted on my other blog. I've gotten a bit behind over there!

For those of you that knew that I loved to read, but didn't actually realize just how much of an addict I really am, you should know now! I truly am addicted to books. They are my drug of choice, and I have no plans to ever even attempt to break this addiction! I enjoy it immensely!
