Oh my. went to a used book store yesterday but I was saved by a hot flash and had to leave. However I did not make it passed the Barnes and Noble and it was air conditioned! Bought 2 books!!
Ok I messed up. I ordered Urge To Kill by John Lutz from Literaryguild.com a little while ago. Hanging my head in shame
Hey at least you made it over a month..that is so great. I wish I could do that..LOL!! I am back at Day 1 again..Shame on me..LOL!!
Well so much for that... I stopped at the Goodwill on the way home from work. 14 books... I'm so ashamed.

I'm the same... bought 13 books from my trip last week... picked up The Summoning, but the only reason that got picked up was because the book that I brought for the trip was finished on the second last leg of the flight, so I have to go out and buy a book at the airport to read on the flight from Singapore to Jakarta.. LoL.. and haven't picked up anything else I bought since then..
And on top of that, I just received my Stephanie plum 4,5,6 in a box from amazon.com yesterday... I'm so so bad...
Killing time before a movie found me at Goodwill again. Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
, Shutter Island
, Eragon
, and Summer Island: A Novel
. I did however actually finish a book today, so I guess that counts for something!
Tanya, I've recently read Eragon and I like it... I've bought the second and third book, but they're still queueing to be read LoL :)
I just bought a Kindle. Does it count as buying a book if you don't have a physical book? What about the free downloads, do they count? I have 8 pages on my wishlist but so far have restrained myself without buying any.
Wow, I just checked again and it's been 41 days since my last book purchase. I am beginning to wonder if that is a good thing or not. :) LOL
Wow Trish you to girl..that is a great thing. I can't seem to get to at least day 20!! I am day 15 now and I know I will be buying a few books during the week.
Hey everyone I'm Mally & it has been 3 days. The weekend is approching fast and pay day is today. =| lol
Nothing since September 3rd (whoa!) - and I lost my debit card, so I don't anticipate driving all the way to my credit union to get cash... though paypal works online... hmmm
Well, I made it 47 days and then made a purchase of $2 on Sunday for some used hardbound books at the library. :) I think my hubby got off cheap after that long of a dry spell. LOL.These are the books that I picked up:
So as of today-- Day 2.
You did really great Trish!! And who can fight that offer for only $2 not me..LOL!! I got some free books on my KOBO today. Ladies if any of you are interested in a J.A. Jance book she is giving a free ebook away
. I picked it up with a few others. Day 2!!
I made it 20 days. Stopped off at Goodwill on the way home and picked up:
Atlas Shrugged (audio),
Ghostwalk,
Marked,
Night Smoke,
Undead and Unemployed,
Undead and Unpopular,
Undead and Unreturnable
Day 1 again. I bought some on sale Audiobooks on Audible.com yesterday day. I will list them on the other thread here..smiles.
I have no self control when it comes to buying books.. my local bookstore is having a 15% off storewide sale.. and Bam... I'm back to Day 1 :P
