BiblioAddict The First Step on the Road to Recovery

On booking through Thursday and winter reading:
Today’s Booking Through Thursday:
The northern hemisphere, at least, is socked in by winter right now… So, on a cold, wintry day, when you want nothing more than to curl up with a good book on the couch … what kind of reading do you want to do?
There’s something about [...]

On booking through Thursday and the flapper in you:
This week’s Booking Through Thursday:
Suggested by Prairie Progressive:
Do you read the inside flaps that describe a book before or while reading it?
I often read the inside flap of books I’ve never heard of before, but not so much if it’s a book with which I’m already familiar.  If [...]

On when to let go:
I’m all out of steam this Saturday evening, so I’m going cop out and do something I’ve never done before (I kid):  write a Booking Through Thursday post on Saturday.  Let’s call it the procrastinator’s edition.  This week’s Booking Through Thursday question is:

“Life is too short to read bad books.” I’d [...]

This week’s Booking Through Thursday is a deceptively simple questionnaire. I say “deceptively simple” because I suck at either/or questions.  Inevitably, I’ll try to answer with something like, “uh…both?”  In some things – not all things – I’m horribly indecisive, never more so than when it comes to books.  Nevertheless!
My preferences:
Which do you prefer? (Quick [...]

Yesterday, Mari tagged me for the weekly meme, What’s on Your Desk Wednesday?, hosted by Sassy Brit of Alternative-Read.com. (Thanks, Mari!)  The rules are:
Grab a camera and take a photo of your desk! Or anywhere you stack your books/TBR pile. And no tidying!
Tag at least 5 people!
Or, if you’re digital camera-less, you can:
List at least [...]

This is definitely a late Booking Through Thursday, but well, it’s me – late is my middle name.
This week’s Booking Through Thursday question asks:
Suggested by Callista83:
Do you read celebrity memoirs? Which ones have you read or do you want to read? Which nonexistent celebrity memoirs would you like to see?
Uh, well… no? I don’t [...]

On sticky books, breakfast in bed, haunted hotels, zombie wars, and the novels that have changed my life:
This week’s Booking Through Thursday question is a good one:
“This can be a quick one. Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall [...]

On things I wish I’d never read (or bought):
This week’s Booking Through Thursday:
In the perfect follow-up to last week’s question, as suggested by C in DC:
Is there a book that you wish you could “unread”? One that  you disliked so thoroughly you wish you could just forget that you ever read it?
You know, I realized only [...]

On why book gluttony is chicken soup for my soul:
The last couple of days have been one of those days, so sadly I’m doing this week’s Booking Through Thursday two days late. The only thing I did when I got home the last two evenings was bury my nose in a good book and not come up for [...]

On looking for symbols in a literary world:
This week’s Booking Through Thursday:
My husband is not an avid reader, and he used to get very frustrated in college when teachers would insist discussing symbolism in a literary work when there didn’t seem to him to be any. He felt that writers often just wrote the story [...]
