I have begun to think that getting purchased by me is a sure fire way to not get read. Some of these books have been sitting on my shelf for a year. And the thing is I just HAD TO HAVE them. I couldn't wait until the library got a copy or I happened to win one. I HAD TO HAVE each and every one. But since I had books that needed to be read for review and other such I told myself there was plenty of time to get around to these ones. It wasn't like they were going anywhere. I could find the time to really savor these delights. Only once they got up there and started collecting dust I began to forget. It started out little but soon developed into a full fledged "Why did I want those so badly again?" Yep, it got ugly. Now I have to challenge myself to get to these books. I am sure they will more than prove their worth once they are finally given a chance. And I will wonder why I wasted my time on all those other less than awesome books when I could have read these awesome books. Then I will make the inevitable resolution to never again agree to read a book that I suspect will only result in a less than stellar read. Only I never can keep that resolution, especially since it is not always apparent if a book won't be AWESOME. So anyway I am sure some of you are astounded that these lovelies should pine away on the shelf. I am too. Try not to be too hard on me.
