I am soo like that too. For my entire life everyone around me has known that if they see a new magazine or book in my car, house or any where near me they had damn well better not touch it! Even catalogues. It's a sickness, I know, but I just can't stand to have anyone touch my reads before me. NO ONE cracks that cover but ME, baby! And keep your dirty fingerprints off of the cover too!

When I was in ...Oh man, I share your bad romance! <br /><br />When I was in kindergarten and first grade, I had a really hard time reading, so my school sent me to a special reading program. A few weeks in that, and I was reading anything and everything - even road signs, which drove my family nuts. Ever since that day, I've been obsessed. And it wasn't until almost a year ago that I realized I could become a reviewer, and get books for FREE! I've been obsessed since. It's like Christmas every time I get a new package in the mail. And I also have a notebook just for writing down new authors I want to try, a notebook I take with me of upcoming releases by favorite authors, etc. <br /><br />I give up things like sleeping and eating, just so I can read a little more. Which reminds me, I'm in the middle of a rather good one (or three) right now...Amanda from Novel Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363603266358485693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-22170672615613882222010-04-19T09:18:08.303-07:002010-04-19T09:18:08.303-07:00I'm a total book addict too..I can't help ...I'm a total book addict too..I can't help it..I get so excited when I open a new package of books and get to caress my pretties..I think it makes hubbs a little jealous.

I've been reading since I was four, but I've been addicted since I was 10 when I got my paws on The DragonLance Chronicles. I was completely overjoyed when I found ebooks cause I was running out of room in the house to store all my books! (and my husband was going spasmatic with all the print books being bought, now he just doesn't know how many books I actually buy cause I've gotten verrrrryyyy sneaky;) <br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543251605223794522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-67764760673550056892010-04-19T08:21:17.452-07:002010-04-19T08:21:17.452-07:00Katiebabs, you are my kind of reader!
