Too Many Books!
So the other day, I realized I'd bought some Card Captor Sakura manga in English. Why did I do that? I had the bilingual versions of those volumes!!
Then I was digging around, looking for something to read, and found the hardcover version of a book I'd bought about 2 months ago in paperback. Still haven't read either of those. Why did I do that?!
I also pulled out a Diana Wynne Jones book with the intention of reading it. I opened it up and started and lo and behold, it was the SAME Diana Wynne Jones book I had started to read like 1-2 weeks ago at my parents'. This one was paperback and THAT one was hardcover. Why did I get two copies?!
Since I CLEARLY need to keep better track of the books I've acquired and stop buying books I already have, I made myself a new rule.
I must read 50 of my own books before I can buy any more. If they're gifts, or free, that's okay. But I can't buy any more. And reading library books doesn't count in the 50.
So, I finished one yesterday. That leaves 49 more to go.
In other news, 27 more books to read by the end of the year if I'm to reach 100.
