Book buying ban

So, anyone who saw my Stacking the Shelves post a couple of weeks ago will know that I did buy a few extra books, but so far, this is what I’ve crossed off the list:

Rebel Belle, by Rachel Hawkins
School Spirits, by Rachel Hawkins
Sinner, by Maggie Stiefvater
Silver Shadows, by Richelle Mead
Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods, by Rick Riordan
The Revenge of Seven, by Pittacus Lore
The Lost Files #3, by Pittacus Lore (and #2 if it ever shows up in Aus.)
The Blood of Olympus, by Rick Riordan
Sacrifice, by Brigid Kemmerer
The Retribution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin
Talon, by Julie Kagawa

Books I bought that weren’t on the list:
Masquerade, by Kylie Fornasier
Origin, by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Books I’m adding to the list:
Captive, by Aimee Carter
Renegade, by Debra Driza (if I ever find it in Australia…haven’t yet)
Opposition, by Jennifer L. Armentrout

So, so far, I’ve bought 4 books from the list, 2 books not on the list, and added 3 to the list because, let’s face it, I’m going to buy them regardless of whether or not they’re on the list.

Book Buying Ban

Book buying ban

So, recently I realised that I have already bought over 50 books this year…

That’s, like, 10 per month.

However, that’s also quite a lot of money, so I’ve decided to challenge myself to a book buying ban, which will last until the end of this year.

So, does that mean that I won’t be buying any books for the rest of the year?

No. What it means is that I’m only allowed to buy books that are already on my list. No more impulse buying!

Which means that between now and the end of the year, these are the only books I will buy:

Rebel Belle, by Rachel Hawkins
School Spirits, by Rachel Hawkins
Sinner, by Maggie Stiefvater
Silver Shadows, by Richelle Mead
Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods, by Rick Riordan
The Revenge of Seven, by Pittacus Lore
The Lost Files #3, by Pittacus Lore (and #2 if it ever shows up in Aus.)
The Blood of Olympus, by Rick Riordan
Sacrifice, by Brigid Kemmerer
The Retribution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin
Talon, by Julie Kagawa

That’s it! 11 books.
That being said, if it gets to the end of September, and I’ve been good, I may reward myself with an impulse buy, but otherwise, it’s the library for me.

Let’s do this thing!
