Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

My Worst Nightmare
Or in my case, "It's tragic. She only had 50 books left in her TBR pile." Oh who am I kidding? Like I'm ever going to be able to whittle down my book collection that much....
Yeah, that's what I was thinking -- only 50 books??
I've made the executive decision to clear make some space on my TBR some time next week, probably the weekend. John and I are going down to the nearby storage rental place (climate controlled, thankyouverymuch), and I'm going to get a small one for my TBR.
Yes, it is. I'm a book addict. Embarassing, eh? Of course, I live in an apartment, so space is very limited, even though, by apartment standards, it's a good-sized place.
Fifty books in my TBR would be an awesome accomplishment. So not going to happen. Just when I think I've got a grip on things, reality steps in and slaps me. And I must, must, must stop going to Goodwill and the Thrift Store. Is there medication for this problem? Is it called Prozac?
I would have a panic attack if I only had 50 books in my TBR pile and would immediately liquidate all my assets and BUY!!!
Amy - can you be away from your books? When we moved I had to box mine all up and they were stored in a walk in closet for about 6 months. I get very antsy if I can't walk up to my books and look through them whenever I want.
LOL Cindy, that will be the first question I ask -- can I get into my place any time I want. I'm also thinking of other options with bookshelves and using wall space for mounted bookshelves on the walls and such.
I am so there - I'll never get through my TBR pile. I just start making a dent and I hit a bookstore and add another tower. *Sigh* Oh, well! I shall strive to carry on... :0)

Pray for me...
Um... amy? is that picture your actual, honest to goodness TBR pile?

Yeah, having only fifty would be nice.

Oh, and I'm horrible at housekeeping.

Sorry, Nikki, Prozac won't help ;)

If I ever get to the point where my TBR pile is under 50 books, I will be in a dark depression. My pile keeps me going.
And to think that until this year (I blame lisabea) my TBR pile was under twenty books...
Oh - that is SO us isn't it!!! Thanks for the belly laugh!
Wendy,
I am so there - I'll never get through my TBR pile. I just start making a dent and I hit a bookstore and add another tower. *Sigh* Oh, well! I shall strive to carry on... :0)

I agree - worst nightmare ever. LOL
Wasn't there a Twilight Zone where this guy survived the apocalypse next to the NY library but his glasses broke? That's scary stuff right there. LOL
