'No More Buying Books Until I've Read the Ones I've Already Bought' Thread

In the middle of reading 'The 100 year old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared' by Jonas Jonasson, which is great. Not sure what I will read next.

Finished 'The 100 year old man who climbed out of the window and disaappeared' which I really enjoyed. Very humorous and a really interesting look at history.

Noe on to 'Meet me at the cupcake cafe' before starting my 2014 reads.

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas. I have just one in to declare hubby bought me Me before you by Jojo Moyes.
I have decided that 2014 is the year to stop buying books and get rid of the piles we have around the house, I have already listed over 100 of the children's books on ebay and Facebook. I keep buying books because my dream is to have my own library but I live in a tiny 3 bed mid terrace with hubby and 3 growing children, so being realistic it's not going to happen.
Happy new year.

Me Before You is a fabulous read and I think one of the only books on Amazon to get nearly all 5 star reviews. I have read four of her other books and they have all been great too. (I also have a puppy called Jojo but that is a coincidence!)

I should really join this thread as I have a book buying problem. I think I am up to 80 or 90 on my TBR shelf now plus a dozen or so on my Kobo and iPad Kindle app. I did read 59 books this year so that helps, but I seem to buy quicker than I read! This year needs to be more money saving for us though so hopefully that will be an incentive.

Welcome chaliepud yes you should definitely subscribe to this thread, it is such a friendly group. I also buy much quicker than I read, but I promise no more buying books in 2014,
