So the husband and I went to the Portland boat show. Yeah I know going to a boat show in the middle of winter… Crazy… I know, I know and sadly they didn’t have anything that I wanted either. Okay, back to the real reason I am posting… So a few weeks ago I posted that I had 86 books in my TBR pile.. (Amy, hush. I don’t want to hear about your 250++ books)
Okay so the husband ask
“So, Honey the books in the closet those are you books you need to read right?”
Me: “yes” *trying not to make eye contact*
Husband: “and how many books would that be?”
Me: “as of right now or counting the ones I have won and are waiting on?”
Husband: “All of them”
Me: “ummmm about 100”
Husband: “Wait, WHAT? You have over a 100 books to read”
Me: “Yep” *batting my eyelashes”
Husband: “I guess you don’t need to buy any books for awhile then, and can save some money?”
Me: “WELLLLLLL, I don’t have to buy any more NO, BUT you see there is this one book coming out in February I have to have, OH and I have to buy JR Wards next book… HAVE TOO!!! and there is this one in April, oh and May and June… Aaaahhh Hell……”
Husband just looks at me and shakes his head: “I think you need to read what you have first”
Me: “I will get to them… Oh and I have to do re-reads too before I buy the next book”
Husband: just gives me a weird look and walks away….
So glad he only asked about the paper books.. He might have flipped if I told him I have over 50 on my kindle too….. hehehehehe….
I will admit I am a total book whore…….
LMAO!! Girl you need to learn how to work the hubby! I always tell my hubby when he buys something like a tool that costs 30 bucks, that is automatically 4 books I can buy now. I also giggle because when I get rid of a book, I get 3 more to replace it. 8 bookshelves and three tubs later my husband doesn't even say a word! LOL

That was my library last April. Now double the amount of books! LOL
I've had a very similar conversation but it kinda went a little different when he asked if I needed more…
I said no honey I dont need anymore books, you can buy more of my other love…jewelry.
I'll let you guess what he went with *kisses*
I was reading this post to my hubby and when I got to this part:
Husband: "I guess you don't need to buy any books for awhile then, and can save some money?"
My husband about died with laughter!! He says to tell him not to say a word and in 10 years or so you will get bored with them. LMAO Like that will ever happen huh?! LOL
đŸ™‚ ROFLMAO!!!!! hahaha…. Your husband is funny!!!
Haha oh my goodness! I know this exact conversation, except its with my roommates.
Im so anxious for Payne's book to be released, unlike many BDB fans I actually like Manny. I don't know why but I just picture him as a total stud muffin!
I wish you the best of luck with the Hubby and getting all those books read!
