Good luck, Linda! Ebooks always seem so harmless until you look at the actual number of them that you have. Then...not so much. :)

Happy New Year Linda! The great think about Kindle books is that you don't have to worry about where you're going to put them! But I'm still an old-fashioned paper girl in the end. Which doesn't mean I don't HAVE Kindle books, just that I don't count them.

Ah, the silly rules we make for ourselves!

Hi Terri, I certainly see the merit in your comments which is probably why, it seems, I count only actual paper books every other year and both paper books and Kindle books during the other year.

Hi Linda! I'm going to try to ROOT out a few books this year - I can't wait to see what you'll be reading!
