I have the same problem. I never know what to read next. I'm on Goodreads all the time looking at the must read for 2015 or 2016. I think we have to many choices from all the books we collect. ( I have a problem, I'm a horder)


I don't know what's after horder, but I've gone way past that :o



etc: typo


Just think how lucky we are that we are hoarding ebooks! Imagine it with paperbacks... :lol:

I have about 2000 Books here, you can't imagine how glad I was when I bought my first ebook reader in 2007 (I think). I have boxes full of books on the cellar, no other space to put them... Every year I decide this is the year I'll give (almost) all books to the library. I start going through them, then I think "Oh, that book was so great" and then I'm reading. My next attempt is still a few months away, but perhaps I'll start with my DVDs this time...

Yeah, after my husband got three 71/2 foot bookshelves from the Galt House's redecorating. (It was great to have a brother in law on the construction crew). I filled those up right away and got my first ereader that X-mas. I only kept the series I really loved and the signed books. I don't even want to try and count how many ebooks I have. The problem is my two girls are taking after me and asking for more bigger bookshelves in there rooms. They got ereaders this year.

Nice to stumble upon this!


I have a metric ton of books to share so once I figure out how to post, duck!

If anyone has any particular requests, let me know and I will troll my hard drives for you...

Really I think there is a support group for people like us.
I no longer have hard copies of books. I have two hard drives with gigs and gigs of books. I am thinking about putting them in online storage for easier access.

I love this place!

Is there an archive for this group, where I can read previous messages?

I really, really , really want to thank Weelee for this group but most of all for giving us ebooks from zippyshare. It's so much easier to download from than any other similar file storage site. I appreciate it more than I can describe it. And your mm books choices always make the difference.
Other than that, I really want to get more active to the group as long as I manage to get the hang of it! Rookie here !
That's all from me, fellow mm lovers !

Well, getting iPad was a relief for my bookshelves. No capacity. Figuring out that I no longer care for anything other than mm genre was great for my laptop. I have cleaned it up of all non-mm books.
Now, I have more books than I'll ever read and I'm still buying, collecting and hoarding. I'm almost out of space on my laptop...
I do agree about the need of the support group for people like myself.

I think I'll just consider this my support group. A better group of people couldn't be found elsewhere.

Woooo I'm going to load it up and read it next ... love scary horrors lol

Will let you know my dear

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
And all my good is but vain hope of gain.
The day is gone and I yet I saw no sun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

The spring is past, and yet it hath not sprung,
The fruit is dead, and yet the leaves are green,
My youth is gone, and yet I am but young,
I saw the world, and yet I was not seen,
My thread is cut, and yet it was not spun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

I sought my death and found it in my womb,
I look't for life and saw it was a shade,
I trode the earth and knew it was my tomb,
And now I die, and now I am but made.
The glass is full, and now the glass is run,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

Yes!!!! But now that I found that there are much more interesting books in english and in the last years I got to understand them, I miss enough time to read them.

I got my first ebook-reader, because I could read normal books only with lots of light, and I love reading in bed. Now I have more books than I ever had. And when I moved more than 20 years ago, I gave away about a third of my books - and there were about 2000 books I took with me. Now it's at least three times of it, and I'm only keeping books I want to read again. I try to get them as ebooks so I can give away the paper books. In two years, when I will be retired, I want to move again, into a little flat...

And yes, I'm a hoarder, too. Not only with books, I own about 100 kg wool. I love spinning, knitting - and I can read while doing it. I don't own a TV.
