I have watched three Hallmark Christmas movies in the last… 27 hours give or take. I thought about starting another one but I wanted to read for a bit before I go to sleep. Since I got home around 9pm tonight I don’t have a whole lot of time before I should be in bed. I should probably be there now, really, especially if I want to read for a bit. I definitely want to read. I started a book at work and two minutes in I knew I was going to love it. I mean, it’s a trash book. The whole series is GARBAGE (I just started the 10th one—THE TENTH ONE—and there are still a couple more), but they’ve been really fun garbage overall. Each book gives you a glimpse of the next couple she’s going to focus on getting together in the following book so each time I’ve finished one I’ve been anxious to pick up of the rest. They’re like $3 each, but they’re included in Kindle Unlimited so I’ve been able to check them out that way. 

It’s honestly absurd that I should ever buy another book ever (uhhhh I totes will, but it IS ridiculous that I still buy stuff) considering that I have access to three libraries and the kindle unlimited library and then an audible subscription including the romance reader bit where I have access to a big bunch of romance audiobooks that I can download and listen to in my audible account. The stuff available on Hoopla and OverDrive is pretty damn extensive. It used to be you had to like start a coal mining business to find any queer romance stories at the library (at least ones that were just fun and had happy endings), but now there is a shit ton available—at least at the three libraries I’m a member of. I mostly use the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hoopla access when it comes to my digital reading because I have two library cards with them (one for work and one for myself) so I have two Hoopla accounts through them. Granted I think I could set up a third with my Horry County Library Card, but switching between three accounts just seems excessive. If I run out of check outs for a month though between the two accounts (unlikely since I get six checkouts per month per account and again I have access to a boatload of books I’ve already purchased, OverDrive for two different libraries, 3M cloud something or another, and then all the physical books in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Union County, and Horry County and then of course audible. 

I’m pretty sure that as long as I can find a way to access electronics, I have enough reading material to last me the rest of my life. 

I… You know what? This was supposed to be about my Christmas Movie Obsession, but apparently we took a detour towards my book obsession. I’m guessing I had a point about my book obsession too but oh well. Guess I’ll have to try again tomorrow.
