Another problem is you read a book you like so you go looking for other books by that author and you end up finding a heap more books. Most of my books I pick myself but I get some for the audio book club I am involved in and then others from the local home library service which picks the books for me. The home library sometimes does really good at picking books and some time really bad ones comes around. At the moment I haven't worked out how to save the home library books to my drive so I have to send them back without reading when they get overdue. So I have another list of home library books that I want to get again at some stage. Some of the home library books I can get from other places but some I will just have to wait until I have the time to read them and order them again from the home library. A good thing about having so many books in different formats is when we had a power out I had enough battery left in a few of my devices so I had books to read while we waited for the power to come back on. Happy reading.
