It's such fun to see one's collections or series growing on the shelf. ^_^ The only Corrie ten Boom book I've read was "The Hiding Place" during high school!<br /><br />Awww, how sad! Some of my older books are located in a family shelf in the basement, so I sometimes forget I even own them.

My stack of Peter & Catherine Marshall books has grown considerably, along with my Corrie ten Boom titles. I snatched up quite a bit of fiction too. <br /><br />Some of my books that I'm currently not reading have actually been booted out of the bookshelves, into a box in the closet. :(Tarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390283409265644737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-31073275827321671962017-08-16T19:27:06.449-05:002017-08-16T19:27:06.449-05:00My pleasure, Marilyn!

XD (It's not just me! The obsession is definitely alive and well...)<br /><br />If Spindle Fire ends up being as amazing as the premise sounds, then I think it'd be right up your alley! Same with Ink and Bone (although there were a few minor quibbles I had with it).<br />Ooooh, Emissary is a fun one. I didn't realize you own it! (Lolzy, aren't we terrible? XD)<br /><br />I'm thinking the same! But...oh...my...goodness. Really? Your favorite series after DIOM and OOF?! OKAY. THIS JUST SKYROCKETED TO THE TOP OF MY TBR.<br />Seeing you reading A Time to Die got me excited to read it all over again! I sure hope the second book gets reprinted soon.
