Sticky notes and unread books.

So, I decided to put little sticky notes on the spines of the books I hadn't read, which actually turned out to be a lot more than I had originally realized. 
It's quite daunting really to see how many unread books I have sitting on my bookshelves, even more so when I know that I have read 61 books this year, because looking at the books that hasn't got a sticky tab on, it doesn't look that many.

Has anyone else came across this problem before? I mean, you think you have probably read nearly all of the books that you own, and then by doing something as simple as adding a sticky note to a spine just shows that you haven't read as many as you thought you had. It's quite disheartening in a way because you want to expand you views on the books, to expand your adventures through each and every story that you read.

But at the same time, it helps to give you a goal towards reading more, the goal of making those tabs disappear one by one until hardly any are left...of course, that's easier to say than actually do, since...well, who can resist the urge to buy new books every week or so? I know I can't.




On another note, who else went out and brought the new Stephen and Owen King novel? I did and I think it's beautiful. Although, I do have to be honesty and say, seeing the American version of the bookcover kind of makes me enjoy and like the UK version just that little more. (I presume its the US and the UK edition covers, I could be wrong of course).
I know that on the UK editions of the hardback, on the cover of the book, underneath the dust jacket we had limited edition prints, there was four or five that you could've gotten. On mine, I got a version which had the snake on it. I think the other ones you could've gotten was a moth, a tiger, a peacock, I know that I'm forgetting one or two, but I can't quite remember without looking online to try and find out.
Here, just look for yourself at how beautiful it looks.
