I currently have 4 books in my “to read next” pile, and none of them are from my bookshelf. Sigh. Two are books borrowed from friends, and two are books I bought when I ran out of Patricia McKillip books to borrow from my husband.

Maybe I need to sit down one day and pull all the books off our bookshelves that are mine and still unread. Then I will have to decide: am I going to read this, or should I just give up and get rid of it now? There are plenty of things I’m holding on to simply because I’m a packrat, and that’s a horrible reason for them to be taking up valuable space in my home and my life.
