Well, Boo

For the last while it's seemed like all of the books on my "to read" list at the library are popular.  I don't like reading a book with a time line so when others are waiting for the book I won't take it out, and because I haven't found any library books lately that aren't too popular for my liking, I've "let" myself buy some books.  (A pricey thing I've tried to stop doing but that got set off by gift cards in December....)

I took a glance at a bargain bin at a store the other day and there was a book that I've seen the tv adaptation of and it was only a few bucks.  I was pretty happy to give it a try!  There was a moment in the store where I thought "have I read this already?" but I figured for like three bucks it wasn't that big of a loss if I had.

When I got home, I checked my library checkout list and it wasn't on there so I figured that made it even more likely I haven't read it before. 

Fast forward to last night and I finished the book I was reading and pulled this one out to start.

Opened it up to the first page and hmmmm.... I think I did actually read this one?  But maybe not?

I read a few more pages.  Hmmm.... 

But I did watch the show so maybe that's why it's familiar?

Except the show, of course, doesn't go in to this much detail, so.... yeah, I think it's likely I read this book already?

But maybe I can read it again?  

Except I don't think I loved it enough as a book to read again and I'm not that interested in reading it again and if I'd really loved it I would have kept it in my collection.

So, yeah, I think I've read this book and am not wanting to re-read it but a part of me is still partially convinced that maybe I *haven't* read it?

But I'm also bummed as I'm running out of purchased books to go through and my library list is full of busy and popular reads.

Oh dramatic sigh.  I just want to look forward to going to bed to read whatever great book I have on the go, you know?  Bummed that this one is seeming to be a repeat.
