Sounds like a great mix of books you have. You might be surprised (horrified?) to know how many there were if you counted. The problem with having your books catalogued is that then you feel compelled to keep them in order. Which means I spend a lot of back-breaking time organizing and reorganizing books on shelves.

Thanks for visiting!

I added the names of the latest commenters to my sunflower mug, gave it a good shake and pulled out the name of the second drawing winner.

Debra Key Newhouse, you’re the one! A Borders® card and bookmark are on their way to you. Enjoy!

To answer Christine’s question, I actually don’t know how many books I have in my library and TBR–I’m sure it’s a couple thousand, but to be honest, I haven’t counted and am sort of afraid to! If I don’t know exactly, then I can just keep adding to it, right? (A bit of an ostrich move, I know!) Almost all of them are romance, with a mix of historical, contemporary, inspirational, a few paranormals, westerns, etc… a bit of everything! I would LOVE to have such a handy husband and to have my own library! Perhaps someday on the bookcases and dedicated room (my husband is wonderful as he is )

Special thanks to Lise, Debra and Anne Barton for the compliments on the blog and the interview questions. Having a subject as interesting as Christine made my part easy.

I tossed the names of all the commenters into my sunflower mug, gave it a good shake and pulled out a slip which read, “Delilah.”

Congrats, Delilah. You’re the winner of the first Borders card and bookmark. Now you’ll be one book closer to having as many as Christine.

I’ve never counted my books. I don’t have 3000, I’m sure….

What a fabulous interview! We have a lot in common I live in MD and I also used to own an event planning company. How funny is that?

Your library sounds amazing!!!!! I think I would be in heaven if I had 3000 books and a cataloger! I have probably 300 books. Lots of European History, craft writing, romance, classics, suspense, biographies and memoirs.

Your two novels sound fabulous! Please keep me informed, I’d love to read them

Cheers!

Yes, my dh built an addition on to our house to hold our book collection too (since, of course, it’s out of the question to actually weed through and – gasp! – get rid of books). The addition went completely out of control in the design phase and ended up being two stories with access from both our study and the master bedroom. You know, in case we have a sudden urge to read at 3am. I’m blessed to have a talented woodworker for a husband, so he has been building all of my bookcases and doing all of the trimwork in the addition.

So with all of this extra room, I consider myself to have license to buy, buy, buy more books!!

Thanks for your visit.

Unfortunately, publishers decide whether or not your book will be on CD.

But that brings up another great question: Who would people most like to have record their book(s) onto CD?

I’d love to have Cate Blanchett voice mine…
