Drugs . . . I mean books?
I am hooked on books. Seriously. (also, wow that sounds CHEESY) BUT I mean it.
I am on a book binge. It started off innocently with Julia Quinn, just picked one up and it was good. Less than a month later? I've read her entire book list.
And then I saw Stephanie Laurens had a lot of books. That was 3 weeks ago. I'm 10 books in to her book list and I can't read them fast enough.
I want to read more. I keep having to stop myself ordering them all off of B&N.com.
And fanfic isn't doing it for me - I want my historical romance with dukes and lords and ladies and balls and society and dresses and just EVERYTHING.
It has been so long since I just ran through book lists - I did it in high school and college. I would pick and author and get all of their books from the library and gorge myself. I did it with probably 30-40 authors over the years.
And now I'm doing it again. The only problem is I keep picking authors that don't have hardbound books in the library and we don't have a good second hand store around here. Which means I'm actually buying them all new. Which is getting expensive.
I'm limiting trips to B&N and limiting the number of books I buy - but then I usually run out early in the week and go through withdrawal. It's a VICIOUS CYCLE.
It's probably a good thing I'm out of new books this week - I need to write my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

WRONG. The cupcakes were SO BAD. There was obviously too much liquid in the recipe because the cakes didn't rise, and when they came out of the oven and cooled they just collapsed in on themselves. I ended up pitching them -- they were too soggy to even save as crumbs.
Oh! Lemon ricotta bisquits sound delicious!

I have a tutorial for them on the cooking tag. They are YUMMY!
