Confession

2008.01.24
This is my book shelf at work. It displays all of my favorite cover designs by the phenomenal artist Elizabeth Berry. Check out her Web site at http://www.berrygraphics.com.

This is my favorite cover design. Also done by Beth.

This is my confession...I'm addicted to books! I love reading. Sometimes when I'm out with my friends all I can think about is being in my cozy bed curled up with a good book.

I usually have a book in hand wherever I go - you know, just in case I have a spare moment. I've even read while driving! I know, I should be ashamed of myself for committing such a crime. I can't help it! I've been told the first step to recovery is confession. So world, I am a book addict. I love the way they look, feel, and smell. But you know what? I'm not giving up my addiction. That's my word and I'm sticking to it!

jendayee great addiction ! Love it too, but most of the time I only can do it while I go to bed and fall asleep, so it takes forever to read a book ! Fortunately on planes, I can !
Thanks to make us know about this artist !

Nayah :))))) I also was addicted to books, it could drive my parents crazy... Now, unfortunately I dont't have often much time but I still love moments you completely forget the world around you because you're completely "in the story"!!! :)))

Yolanda Renee Tiesha, I too am an addict. My name is Yolanda Williams and I am addicted to reading (I know, this was corny...lol). When I am reading a book for a few minutes or hours sometimes I am able to travel to worlds that I cannot get to physically. I am able to live vicariously through a character that has characteristics that I wish I had and admire the characters who have the characteristics that I possess even if they are the bad ones.

Books also allow you to secretly cheer for the bad guy without being criticized by society for doing so.

Erika I have been a member oF "B.A." for many years. I started as a child and my addiction has just grown more and more each year. I really like that killer stich one. I may have to use that image on my knitting blog!
