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)

Joan Wolf is fun - really - her older books are interesting and I just kinda love how they end up.
I've heard of DG - I've just never read them.
I tend to stick to only like regency england or scotland - but I'll try other historical stuff. I'm just excited tomorrow is saturday and I can buy more books! :-)
