This is it, dear friends. I am so busted in my book budget I have gone to the extent of swearing not to buy anymore books (as a desperate measure) until I clear at least 50 on my TBR. The current situation is so appalling and alarming I'm putting on the red alert. This will be a sticky note for at least a week to remind myself. Please scroll down for the latest posts.
LOL! Alice, your post about this sticky note cracks me up. I don't think it will work well on me, I just can't stop myself from buying books!!! ;P
ReplyDeleteI have my doubts too, Melody... BUT I have to try my best to stop my compulsive book buying habit. LOL. God help me...
ReplyDeleteAlice, I wish you good luck in fulfilling your wish although being a fellow booklover, I'm hoping you will not stop your book buying habit! LOL. ;P
ReplyDeleteOh no, Melody. Am not stopping for good. As an incentive to be able to buy again, I will need to clear 50 books ASAP! Muahahahaha!
ReplyDeletelol... Alice, you are so funny. Tell ya what... want me to help you read some of your books? Ya know.. in all my spare time ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome to do so, Judy! LOL. ;)
ReplyDeleteI understand how hard it is to keep a budget especially when it involves something we love.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I'm sure you can do it.
Alice, I know how you feel. I was looking at my shelves last night. I have so many books I want to read, why am I buying more? I don't think I could get through 50 without buying more, but I hope to do better myself.
ReplyDeleteHehe can't say I blame you there! I've bought too many myself when I usually just use the library.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, Rachel! I'm determined to keep this one. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kristy, it's hard for me to persevere until I finish 50 but I think this will stop me from buying for at least 3 to 4 months. Good question on why buy more when one already has so many...
Hi Jen, I just wish the libraries here are as good, if not decent. I hate to say this but they're seriously not up to the standard.
I hope everyone had a good weekend!
Of course I know you will continue to buy more books, Alice! I was hoping that you will still buy books even though you have not cleared your TBR pile, LOL. ;P
ReplyDeleteOh no Melody, you're not supposed to tempt me but to help me... LOL. :P
ReplyDelete*chanting non-stop* More books, more books!!! ;P
ReplyDelete*shutting both ears, shaking head and making lots of funny noise (actually it's singing)*
ReplyDeleteBad girl, Melody you...
LOLOL! Just love teasing ya, Alice... ;)
ReplyDelete*Alice pouts*
ReplyDeleteTease away, Melody... :D
Good luck, Alice. I have tried this before and failed miserably. I hope you have better luck and a stronger conviction than I do!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm still so glad there's a library in walking distance, or I'd be doomed.
All the best with this. I am trying not to buy any more books this year, but have probably bought about 20 already which is rubbish. I think I might steal your idea if I am not better in February.
ReplyDeleteHello Wendy! The temptation to buy is just so, so great. I really hope I'll be able to withstand and be strong...
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! You're indeed lucky to have the library within walking distance. I think I should include this as a prayer item as well -- a library be built nearby... and a well-stocked one to boot.
Steal away, Rhinoa. I'm glad to have a partner in crime for this (gigantic) effort. :)
