Oh it really does but it's the Mitchell I'm hankering after, and what a wait...
:O)

Excellent. More packed shelves: coming soon (top up with vinyls and cds, and I will soon need an extra flat for things like the bed, a couch and so on)

Thank goodness for my kindle - otherwise I would have had to throw out my kids toys to make room for more books ;)

Thanks Melki, Wanda, Laura, Jema, Eleni.

I think e-readers came in the nick of time for us all.
:O)

I still have every book I've ever enjoyed and adding to my collection daily. It's a sort of 'I've started so I'll finish' scenario. I'll never be able to retire and downsize.

The longlist will be announced on Wednesday 23 July 2014 and a new listopia will be formed. Just over a week left to cram.

I truly hope that Drabble doesn't make the longlist because if it does I will be compelled to pick it up again.

toys are overrated when put in the balance with life-savers

Me too! Me too! Only it is not just the ones that I have enjoyed I keep - I just 'keep'. LOL

I was reading a psychological paper about people who collect things at the expense of room for utilitarian items, food and clothing, light and even cubic air capacity - I am definitely a fetishist, and Helen, *toes ground* I think you are too.

GO US!!

Eleni - you are in the same Hoarding Club too? Welcome. Membership is free as you must retain funds to feed your collection.
