Obsessions

I've blogged before about having a book buying obsession...in fact I may have alluded to that fact in my last post. :-) (By the way, I won six more books in Brenda Novak's auction and bought another book at the store today - Impulse (Thanks Pam! lol) by JoAnn Ross.)

Anyway, I get teased a lot about the number of books I buy and read. (Since my last blog - in addition to the auction and the "Impulse" buy - I ordered two more books off of amazon.com.) But, this one lady at work (who really gives me a bad time - all in fun) was telling me that she recently bought the movie Pride and Prejudice (the newest version). She was telling me how she watched it all weekend long - over and over and over again. And she was telling me what she liked about it and how every time she watches it, she sees something she missed in it before.

So today I was telling her that I won those books in the auction and she was giving me a bad time - again - and we were laughing about it. When she left my office...or should I say as she ducked out of my office, she says "I watched Pride and Prejudice again last night."

Which one of us has a worse problem do you think? I'd say her. At least I'm reading different books each time. lol

Well, as much as I love every version of Pride and Prejudice and seen them all multiple times, I'd say that she has more of a problem because she needs to . . . BRANCH OUT! LOL.

One of the great things about joining RWA was finding out that I'm not the only one who's book-obsessive. The fact that my TBR pile spills across the bedroom floor and under my bed is not strange at all. :)

Yeah, I agree with Ellen. There's something wrong about watching a movie over and over and over again, unless of course, it's the BBC version with Colin Firth :)
