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

I think I need to join this. I buy so many books and I don't have time to read them all before I buy new books!

So I will not buy anymore books until I have finished every single book I have. (with the exception of books that are necessary for uni )

I'm seriously thinking about buying another bookcase to house my ever growing to read pile, to be completely honest yes I have purchased a few books (but only from the charity shop) but after visiting a friend last week and returning home with a large bag for life filled with books I'm starting to think I have a real problem.

My to read total now stands at around 75 which is 15 more than when I started this challenge :eek: so far this year I've read 22 books, I need to give up work to concentrate on my to read pile I reckon either that or stop looking at new books (who am i kidding):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I haven't read a lot recently, I don't find non-fiction books have the same 'pull' as a good story, so I picked un The Three Musketeers yesterday. Only to find that it's the abridged version! I tried the first chapter but it feels so dumbed down so have asked OH to pick up the proper version on his way home. I'm not counting this as buying another as I'm kind of swapping it!

Happy reading everyone!

I'm not doing very well with this one :-0

In the past couple of weeks I've finished (on my kindle
- 2 I've had as paperbacks)


PS I Love you (read before and thought it was much better before - not sure if its something to do with the fact that I'm older now!)
pillow talk (also read before - still absolutely amazing!!)
Meet me at the cupcake cafe
Rosie Hopkins Sweet Shop of Dreams

Not sure what to read next - have bought -

A Hopeless Romantic
Where Rainbow Ends
Also spotted Sing You Home in hardback for £5 (only buying hardbacks of my favourite authors)

Spotted these on fb and thought I would share with my fellow readers

Sorry, I misread quickly and thought you said 'I feel 50 Shades Freed'.

And OMG Sneezy, those bookcases are AMAZING! *drools*

Have been overburdened with college work this past few months, hence not doing very well on the whole reading front; I'm hoping things will pick up when I've finished in a fortnight or so. (Pity I can't count all the books I've been dipping in and out for college, else my totals would look a lot healthier!

Finished the first of Kathy Woodmans Vet series "Trust me I'm a Vet" and started on the fourth in the series as I got them as a twin pack, have put the 2nd and 3rd ones on my list of things to look up when I've finished the pile of books on my bedside table and listed Trust Me on greenmet.
