LOL!! Thanks Girlfriend :D!!
I almost caved yesterday at the grocery store, but my son pulled me away. He said I've been good for 3 months, don't mess it up now. I just know the time is coming when I won't be able to hold back. LOL
I love ths counting down and trying to stave off buying booksI see some I have an addiction and need to stop
I have over 200+ that I have not read
so far this year have bought 122
last shopping trip was this morning where bought 6 and recieved 2 through post . bought last book 10am about 10 hours ago

Tamara I have done that to many times..LOL!!!
I'm almost to a week! Of course, I have to go shopping today, so...telling myself to be strong and resist. My goal is to hold out until the 21st. That's 10 days total, which would be a new record for me, I think. Oh, and if someone gives you the book for free does that count? I mean, do you have to consider it as a buy?
just after my last post I bought matched by allie condie on internet and bid for 2 books on ebay...ohhh not doing so well

Lisa: Thank you! At least that's something. Lol. Of course it didn't do me any good, bc I bought a book yesterday. Oy!
Lisa, hang in there! You're an inspiration to us!!! Not that it's working, bc I picked up another book yesterday (again)! *Rolling eyes*
Almost 4 months is a lot to let go of though. Hang tough!
I'm back up to 2 days, but I'll be purchasing a book before the end of the week, so I don't why I'm bothering to count. And that sounded soooo negative, which it shouldn't because I'm super excited for Smokin' Seventeen to come out.

Lisa S wrote: "Thanks Debi, but it's getting hard now."Oh Girl I know how hard it gets after so long believe me.."Miss I have to Binge" if I go to long without buying a book..LOL!! If you want you can have one of my free credits I still have if you want it :D!! As soon as our Postal Strike is over here and the mail starts running again I will get that book in the mail to you that I promised you pull I have a couple more you might like :D!!
Well, I made it 3 months and 3 weeks and then I finally caved today. I;m hanging my head in shame. But in my defense, I told my husband I didn't want to buy any new books because I've made it almost 4 months and what does he do? He told me to get in the car he wanted to take me somewhere, that somewhere was B&N. Since I was there, and he gave me $46 dollars to spend on myself I couldn't hold back.Seems I was getting on his nerves talking about books I saw that I wanted. LOL
Lisa: I don't know if I should congratulate you or send you sympathy. lol. I mean, you were doing great resisting, but you got new books, and you got hubs to give you the money for it. Awesome!

I know what you mean. Get paid, must go shopping, heck ya need food right? And what's in the stores...books! It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!
@ Lisa on that is to funny..I am always talking about books to my hubby to and when we go shopping I show him the books I want..hoping one day he will remember and surprise me..don't know if I should let the hope go or not..LOL!! Okay now since hubby paid for the books does that mean you fell or they were gifts???You go Ladies!!
@ Kristie...LMAO I agree with your conspiracy theory..LOL!!
Day 3..LOL!!
No, it counts because he kept $40 for him to spend on what he wanted and I had $40 to spend on what I wanted. But he did take me there without me knowing where we were going.
Got a free book on Kindle yesterday but it is still a book to add to my list of books...So back to not even 24 hours!! : ((
