I LOVE to read anything I can get my hands on.  I just bought 2 new books today.  I have problems going to the used book stores/book exchanges because I have read most of what they have.

I wonder if children's books "count"?  Between my mother, my mother-in-law, and I, my kids get something like 10 books a month, and at Christmastime, yikes, I don't have room to put them all...  But most of the books I read come from the library.
