Should I, or Shouldn't I...?

Y'know, I've been reading about THE WINDLFOWER's World Tour, and thought, "surely, there's a book I DON'T have!" Tonight, after playing in the TBR, guess what -- yeah, I have it, but it's the prettier purplish cover with Sharon and Tom Curtis listed as the authors, not Laura London.

Should I read it, or should I consider this a casualty of my "thinning out" effort with the ol' TBR? It's a pretty cover, but I don't need to revisit that weakness of mine, right? I'd love to make a dent and get rid of some books that I know I'll not read, maybe even host a giveaway here at the ol' blog. But I'm still in-the-air about this one.

GOD, it's hard to part with books, no matter how long they've been in "the collection", aka the TBR.

Amy, this particular book is a romance classic though. Even if you read it and found it outdated (it's been awhile since I've read it too) at least you would have the experience to share with the world. I vote you keep it. Get rid of something else.

OTOH who am I to stand in the way of progress? :D

That's what I keep telling myself -- it's a classic! I've known this for years, but I still haven't picked it up... *sigh* And that's how I've gotten into trouble with my TBR... ;-)

Thanks for stopping by! And for the hickey info, maybe I'll see if John can give me one this week...heh heh heh.

You should read it. Then if you don't like it, you can turn around and sell it on eBay for a tidy profit ;-)

I haven't read it, don't own it, and am mildly curious about it. I'm thinking I might try to score a copy through ILL here at work.....

Hey Amy, Off topic ... just wanted to let you know Linnea Sinclair said "thanks" for the birthday wishes and she sends "hugs" to you. ;-)

"Read It! Read It! Read It!" she chanted.
Seriously - then you will have the satisfaction of saying you read a classic and if you don't like it - you can make a pile of money.
FWIW - I read it and loved it.

I'm so easy -- I'm holding onto it. Now, let's see if I can actually finish a book in under 2 weeks so I can read this one...
