My new project

My name is Tara and I'm a book-aholic.

I found myself standing in the book section at Target on Saturday afternoon, enticed by all these books I've never read. They were calling out to me, "Buy me, I'm a good one." I could feel the urge to buy overpowering me. It has been ages since I bought a book for myself. But I resisted...because I have vowed not to buy any new books until I have read all the ones in my house, and decided whether to keep or donate them.

I have piles of books to read all over my house - on the end table in the living room, in boxes in my bedroom, in the office, in my purse, on the coffee table, even some actually in a bookshelf. The bookshelf, though, is generally reserved for my all time favorites...the ones I've read a hundred times but like to have at close hand in case I feel the need to read them again.

So, in an effort to stick to my vow, I've decided to try to read one book per week...and blog about them...
