managed to not buy any more books 'yet', but aim to not buy any unless i really will read it/want it and treasure it etc.

Hello all,

Could I possibly join in as well please? I am a TERROR for buying books, I love them so much and often re-read books I already have so cannot bear to give any away! I now have to read a lot of non-fun academic books for uni so have much less time to read books for enjoyment ...but have been buying books at the same rate as before so have a huge pile waiting to be read and need to stop buying any until they are done!

I'm going to try and sort out some books to sell this week on greenmetropolis or amazon which will hopefully get me some pennies to go towards my credit card debt but I also really love the idea of the book swapping or book crossing sites so going to have a look at those too.

Thansk for the inspiration!:D

Finished Ocean - Mia Castile yesterday. Now onto The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen.
Trying to dedicate this week solely to library books so I can take them all back and stop renewing them online every few weeks.

Also quite a few "in's" this week. Only bought 1 of them though, being lazy and not listing them all but check the video on my blog if your interested in what I got this week: http://bellebooksx.blogspot.com/

:wave: Hello cloudatlas!

Of course - feel free to join in!

I like how you are named after a book, too.

Best of luck with the reading/selling your books. I have some I need to sell as well, but I never quite seem to get round to it. I shall have to try harder...:D

Oh dear - Seen as it was my birthday on Tuesday I now have another two books to add to the 'to read' pile!! Also I gave up on the one I started so think I will start a new one instead. Now just to decide which...
