by Westy 8 months agoYou could always throw a book at him! The only problem is that I wouldn't want to damage my books, LOL.

by Snowflake 8 months agoLol, ain't got to that stage yet! He knows it's an addiction and he wouldn't dare get in the way of it! And if he did... there's always divorce! Lol :) -
by Westy 8 months agoI feel your pain! I'm like a book-a-holic; stashing new books so that my husband won't find them! Shameless.

by Snowflake 8 months agoMaybe I'll invest in one... one day! But for now, there's nothing better than buying a real book! I order from Amazon and I'm always so excited when a parcel comes with new books! Eeeeek! Lol. I was saying to my hubby the other day about our book shelves, they're overflowing and I don't have room for any more! Lol :)

by Westy 8 months agoLOL, I just purchased a new book shelf becasue my others were crammed and at risk of crushing someone when they fall over! I just use my kindle for when I go on holiday really because I get through too many books when I'm away and the kindle saves on the weight limit. I know what you mean about books and I was grateful for my kindle when I unwrapped it on Christmas morning, but I couldn't stop the small part of me that still wanted (and still does) buy real books!
