Very much apropos of Stacking the Shelves, I learned a new acronym from author Olivia Dade when I was prepping the post for Second Chance Romance earlier this week. I’ll confess that I feel both seen and a bit insulted at the same time. The acronym is STABLE or SABLE, and it’s short for “STash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy”. I think it was initially used by crafters, but it absolutely applies to book stashes because I hit that point a LONG time ago. Howsomever, I decided just as long ago that I’m collecting books to read based on the maxim (quoting Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson) on one of my (late) aunt’s sweatshirts – “God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. I am so far behind I can never die” and yes, I do get the irony.
This size of this stack certainly doesn’t help, it merely adds more fuel to the (virtual) fire. And this bookaholic is just FINE with that!

I have about 120 physical books I still need to read. I could do it in a couple of years if I didn’t do Blog Tours or Netgalley or get any new books 😶
Have a great weekend!
But who can EVER resist new books? I certainly can’t. Happy reading!
