Photo Hunt--Hobby
This weeks theme is HOBBY. You can join the photo hunt by going
I am not sure if this is a hobby or a bad habit. As you can see from the photo this week, my hobby seems to be reading. Actually I think my hobby is buying books. I buy more than I read. This is only one book case, mostly my metaphysical books. I have another smaller shelf for paper backs and even another one in the dinning room for my cookbooks. Whew, Maybe I should take up something else..Like knitting.

I love to read too! You need to check out PaperbackSwap.com, it's a great way to save money and swap books!! If you join, mention me (yellowrosesgarden) please!! Oh, and it's free!!! :)
Happy Saturday!
I have piles of books I still haven't read too - yet every time I go by a book store, I go in and buy one more! It's addictive! At least I know I'll never be bored ;)
You could take up knitting but then you'd have to buy more books for that, too! Nothing wrong with having lots and lots of books!
Books are good. There are certainly worse hobbies. :) And don't worry, you'll probably read them eventually.
*elbowing my way past the line, to read/borrow a book from your library...great photo for the theme!..I'm jealous! Thanks for visiting my photo today
Your book shelf looks like my son's book shelf. I'm more a movie buff.
LOL we have one of the same hobbies and took the same picture lol
Hey reading as a hobby has got to be good. More and more people shy away from books and watch tv or goes to the computer. I read a little too, mostly fiction. Hey and those two brooms by the book case, you don't play quidditch do you? Just wonderin'
Books are good! I like to read too! Haha, but i often borrow them from the library.
Have an enjoyable weekend!
Mine's up too!
I like buying DVD movies and I also buy them more than I watch. They're much cheaper than books, only like US$7/movie (new released ones!) here :)
Thanks for stopping by & happy weekend, Autumn!
reading is a great habit, err, hobby.. I too have a reading "habit" myself. :)
My hobby post is now up as well. Feel free to stop by if you like.
Have a great weekend!!!
Reading is my great hooby too, although I didn't photograph my books, but my quilts. I think my hobby is as much buying as reading and I visit the library every Saturday as well. I own 12 bookcases with books three deep in each. I never add up how much I spend each year because I don't want to know.

Reading is such an awesome hobby, wish I still had time for it!
I love going to the VA Living Museum, great photo ops there and the animals are just so much fun.
Great photo! I am a reader as well!!!
You must be a serious reader if you have different book shelves for different books!
I love going to the book store and buying a book. The fresh crisp pages are so exciting to me...Going to another world without even leaving my chair.lol
Great photo.
Take care,
Connie
My photo is up.
My house mate is like that books that he's never read, loads of bookcases throughout the house.
books are always good....and even better when they are read....
happy hunting
Books are good!
I love to read too.
Reading is a fabulous hobby...I use to read all the time but now I have so many other interests, I barely have time for books anymore! Have a wonderful day:-) xox
Reading is a great hobby! :) My humans had so many books that when they were back in Canada, they stopped buying them and started borrowing from the library. Now that they are in Germany, they've had to go back to buying books, since the libraries don't have many English books on hand.
How can you buy books and not read them ? I would go crazy if I see a book I haven't read, lol !
Reading is definitely NOT a bad habit, unless, of course, what you are reading is not good! Thanks so much for stopping by Pollywog Creek and have a great weekend!
I have more books than I read too! :)
Happy weekend!
One can never have too many books or enjoy doing too many things. I love books too... but have had to rediscover the library and stay away from Barnes and Noble these last few years. Have a great hunt!
My mom collected cook books.
When I was growing up I'd compare the kitchen to mad scientist lab.
I've ate a wide variety of foods.
GREAT hobby and fun photo.
I love the brooms as well as the books. Going to a bookstore today, yay! Great photo.
i'll admit.. being a graphic designer... i have an... well.. addiction.. to buying products that have nicely designed covers/packaging. books are high on that list of "i'll buy this just cuz it looks pretty"... *sigh*
My "to be read" pile grows higher with each trip to Barnes & Noble...sigh!
I've tried to restrict myself but it is oh so hard to do!!
I also have a ton of books just waiting to be read. One day I'm going to take a vacation by myself and just lie on the beach and read all the books I've always wanted to read.
Reading is a great hobby! If you really want to take up knitting, I can tell you a great website (with videos) that helped me teach myself.
Happy weekend!
I love the old bookcases like that, those are quality. You could read while you knit!
I have many hobbies, reading's one of them.
I usually buy books by the boxes whenever I'm abroad. And I have yet to read most of them :)
I would have to say that often hobbies really are just bad habits in disguise.
Thanks for visiting. I'll stop by more often.
That's us to a 't'. Of the 5 of us in my family, 3 of us are voracious readers. We have bins and bins of books in our garage, not to mention the stacks in our closets, end tables, desks, and so forth.
Our new house has a formal living room with french door, we're going to make that into a library with glass french doors, I can't wait!
Nice PH pic!
Thanks for stopping by my blog,
Chelle
I have always preferred a good book to almost anything! My aunt (an Italian clean-freak) used to say that women who read have dirty houses! Like that was a BAD thing!!!
Reading is a nice hobby to have, and or book collecting. Whichever you prefer :) I love to read more now than ever, however I never have much time with 2 little boys. I still enjoy it when I can though.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a great weekend.
I too have a bad habit of buying too many books. But when I took up crochet I bought too many crochet books!
Thanks for visiting me.
I love books and I love reading. I buy far too many books though! :-)
Yeah, knitting is a good hobby to have, but not only will you need to collect more books (on knitting, of course) but you'll start collecting a lot of knitting supplies. Like yarn, and knitting needles, and stitch markers.... And tell ya what, yarn takes up a lot more space than books do. But, then again, nothing wrong with having two hobbies..... Or three, you could take up quilting when you've decided you've got a big enough yarn stash built up and need to find a different hobby that doesn't gather so much yarn.... So, then take up quilting, because fabric well..... *grin*
Great picture ~ and hobby!!! Love the brooms by your bookcase. Are they the cinnamon scented ones?
Smiling at your comment about buying books being a hobby. :) I have some on certain topics, like home management, that I kept buying and finally convinced myself I need to read and implement the ones I have!!
Thanks for stopping by my place!
You seem to have a passion for reading which I think is a wonderful hobby. I enjoy reading too and take good care of my books. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I really enjoy collecting children's books. Thanks for stopping by.
