I nearly posted a photo of my shelves yesterday! Always good to see other people's books - and lots of them.

I did wonder! 😅

Hey Dave - I'm glad you joined! In case you don't recognise the photo, it's Judy Staines from FB.

Oh yeah. I like to have books from different genres on the go at the same time. I can read a couple of lightweight romances at the same time so long as they are different enough in style. Doesn't seem to matter so much with non-fiction.

Ah well, if we're talking about an open-ended timeframe, I have several more I'm in the middle of, mostly non-fiction. The fiction usually gets read to the end fairly quickly.

That's actually not unusual, and sometimes depends on our stress levels. I'm not reading my usual four or five at the moment and I think that's down to stress.

I re-read a lot. Many of my zillion books are old friends.

I have been known to read five at once. I leave them in different rooms. At the moment, though, it's only two.

Is this what's known as loosely bound? I love this too. I have few books like it but I do love those that are!

I never bought into X. I am trying to escape the clutches of FB.

Me too!
