To Be Read.............

I have a love/hate relationship with my TBR pile of books. Yeah, I know, confusing to say the least. On the one hand I love having a huge To Be Read stack of novels...both heaped beside my bed as well as filling up my Kindle.....it's comforting to know that at no time will I be alone or bored. My book friends are quietly waiting for me to stop by and spend minutes, hours or days with them. They will introduce themselves and their families and homes and soon I will be a welcome part of their world as they will be of mine. On the other hand...sometimes I find myself not thoroughly enjoying a really good book I'm reading because I know I have so many more books waiting on me. Are the characters in my TBR pile getting antsy for me to start? Are they reshuffling the story by tapping feet, raising eyebrows, chatting about my slowness? I sometimes rush through a book because I know that I have so many fun friends tapping their impatient feet. Curious and Curiouser. Am I alone in this feeling? It's a dichotomy of emotion. But one I welcome. Gotta go....my current book is softly calling my name.
