Back in the old days, I would drop everything half hour before the book store closed and run out to buy a desperately needed (wanted) item. With Kindle, I now spare the public the vision of me running through the aisles in a shirt that I threw on backwards and uncombed hair. There are advantages.
It's so easy to download and then set my iPad aside for other distractions that I sometimes forget what I've purchased.
Last night I found, untouched:
The Cozy Chicks Kitchen (and I found a recipe for Easy Crispy potatoes that's going on the menu tonight!)
The Social Media Gospel
Kristen Lamb's:
Are You There Blog?
We Are Not Alone
Rise of the Machines
Pamela Samuels Young's Attorney-Client Privilege
Behind the Screen
M.M. Gornell's Counsel of Ravens (thought I just bought that and hadn't really forgotten about it...yet)
About thirty books that I've gotten 18% of the way through. (That seems to be my attention span in one sitting.)
A dozen SAMPLE books that I downloaded to peek at and order later.
With a paperback, I've got it in front of my face and can't forget about it, but with Kindle....
Has Kindle turned into a black hole of good intentions for you? Or am I just approaching it wrong?
Jackie, I'm honored to be in the queue on your Kindle!! (you're not alone, besides the stacks, Kindle is overflowing--one day...)

It's almost too easy to gather books. Realistically, I do have a lot of paperbacks in storage in my garage, so maybe book hoarding is a personal problem. :)
