Books

I like to read. Maybe not as much as watching tv but I still really like to read.

Unfortunately, I run into two problems. 1) I don't like going to the library and 2) I don't like spending money. Let me explain.

The library here is closed Monday which is typically my day off. So it's inconvenient. Also, you only have books out for two weeks. I can not read all the books that I want to/check out in two weeks! I see books at the library the same way I see something I like at a store. If I really want it, I should get it now because it might not be there later. Silly I know. But that's how I end up with five books and late fees. I also owe like $5 in late fees which wouldn't be a big deal except the last time I owed money the librarian looked at me like I murdered a kitten. Or a child. Not that I was just a few days late on returning some romantic Amish fiction.

As far as not liking to spend money, I have had my Nook for about four years making it about four years outdated. I've been burned twice on buying books. I bought full price best sellers and absolutely hated them. So now I stick to books I know I'll like (Beverly Lewis Amish novels and Irish Doctor books by Patrick Taylor) or really cheap ones (less than $2.99).

In reading my cheap novels, I've discovered a new 'genre' cooking romances. Most of these come out of Britain and involve a single woman getting dumped, starting to cook, maybe quitting a job or being fired, maybe opening a bakery and ultimately finding love.
Unfortunately, these books make me wonder if I shouldn't take a clue from them and quit my job to open a bakery. I'm a very good baker. Maybe I could also have homemade dog and cat treats. Everyone likes those, right?
