Beth, if it's for you too, yes it counts.
darn it lol its for both of us. but ahh ok 2hrs here then
Sorry girl! LOL
It will be two days today if I can hold out.
My new obsession is bookswap on GoodReads! All you have to pay is for shipping and when the person has more books you want your shipping only increases by 30 cents. ADDICTING! I think I've gotten a few books that were not necessarily wishes, but more welllll they had one I wanted so why not tack on a few more. AAAAHHHHHH
I am on Bookmooch here Kathy. I know what your going through it is so cool. I have some books on there too but I am only doing a few at a time so I have money for mailing..LOL!!

The wait is torturous, but I love logging on every few days to see how many spots I jumped ahead. I'm got a to-read pile that is outgrowing my bookshelves.
Made it to 5 days and now I'm back to 5 minutes.
i think im going on like 3 weeks or so :) i havent bought one in awhile, i almost did last night... but nope! held strong!

LOL! I don't think I have you beat but I bought 31 or 32 books in March and 2 to start april off. =)
I'm gonna say 32 days because I can't remember the last time I bought a book. I don't think I bought any in March.
almost 2 hours again
Back to 6 hours or more..LOL. I can't remember..LOL!!
if you pay for it with a gc, that is just for the book, does it count?!?! :P

WOW LISA you are my HERO!! LOL!!
It helped that my friend brought me a lot yesterday
It's been 1 week and 1 day. Of course if the government stops paying us military families, then I'll be whooping everyone's butt in this not buying thing. Ha ha!
Okay, so it looks as if the government's going to pay us. Which means by the end of this week, I'll be the loser again. Lol! Nora Roberts has a book releasing tomorrow. There's no way I'll make it past this weekend before I buy it. But...9 days today.
YAYAY Kristi I am so happy the government has figure out what the heck they are doing and are finally going to pay all the military and government employee's. YAYAY!! Oh it may say I am from Canada but I am also a U.S. citizen..LOL!! I didn't feel they had the right to stop payment on the military personel!! What the heck were they thinking sorry but that really pissed me off. They don't pay the military enough as far as I am concerned and they actually have the nerve to not pay you at all..GGGGRRR!! Sorry had to Vent a little bit about that..smiles. But I am happy for you all!!!!
I made it to 11 days today and now I'm back at 30 minutes.

So, I did buy Nora Roberts yesterday, so I'm back to day 1. :P

Well I made it to day 7 and now back to day 1 again. I bought some books on my audible site Friday night..LOL!!

YAYAY!! Oh..."Yep. Sorry, didn't post the title. It's Chasing Fire. She's the only author I own every book.
Sigh! I ran errands this weekend, and saw this book (The Brain That Changes Itself). After reading The Lost Symbol, and having a child with ADHD, I knew I had to at least read it. So I'm back to Day 1.
day 4!! Lisa no matter why your my hero..LOL!!
Hey Debi! I'm right behind you. Day 3! Lisa S, you rock!!! Now what can I do to knock you out of the top runner spot.....???? Kidding! I'll never beat anyone at this. Awesome job!
