The Kindle has been my undoing. I bought 4 books for it over the weekend. Back to day 1.

In less then 2 hours it will be Day 6 for me. Hope I can keep from buying anything in those less then two hours..LMAO!!
Haven't bought any since the 23rd. Eight days! Wow! (and I was even in a used bookstore today - I carried around a book and ended up putting it back) Yay me!
Starting over today at Day 1. My hubby and I stopped at the used bookstore last night and he picked up four, so I picked up four. =)
I didn't made it further than that Lisa :( I gave in to the book buying urge... so now I'm back to Day 4
Thanks Lisa but this is a I have to do it. I am having such buying a book withdrawals it is sickening..LOL!!! Had to help my daughter out this money and next month all christmas money and boxes will be mailed out. Then I have christmas for Richard and our client..I have no money left to spend..LOL!!
It's been 2.5 Days since I last bought a book... but at the same time it's totally reset since I just "got" a free ebook!
Oh nice.. 3.5 days this morning! Although I have a feeling I'm going to cave if I hang out in the my books section organizing anymore!
Wellll! I messed up today. I went to B&N just to look and 4 books just happened to jump in my hands. I'll post them in the What Did You Get thread.
Oh Lisa I just love those books that save me the time and just jump in my hands, carts, hide under the bread in the grocery bags..LMAO!!
I'm been doing so good lately. I bought a nook during the summer and since then I haven't bought many books. And if I did I it's alot less than I ever did before. I get alot of free books though the nook and the ones I buy which hasn't been many I have a wish list going and when I finish 2 books (which I haven't yet since I still read regular books)on the nook I'm allowing myself to buy one nook book. When I do go to B&N to check in store stuff on the nook I look around and think of the amount of books I have already or if they are cheaper getting them on the nook. Also been doing library alittle more for certain books. Which I'm not crazy about since it takes away from reading my many books.
Day 28 and I fell right on my butt..and then found this bag of books from the SHS-secondhand store in my hand..well I only spent $2 so that won't break me..LOL!! And I bought some books from my little ones too. :D!!!
I've survived Day 7, but it's my birthday today, so I'm going to splurge.. the local bookstore that I'm a member of is giving me 15% off all books on my bday.. so Yay, i'm going to buy books today :)
Ohh, birthday discount for books sounds luscious! I mean, you bad girl, Rosabelle! Time to reset your counter anyway :P
Oh wow... Day 7 for me :o That's only because when I was in the mall yesterday I went boot shopping, not book shopping, though!
LoL.. It is... Got 8 books at the bookstore yesterday and then 3 more came from amazon.com... bad bad girl Rosabelle ha ha..It's back to Day 1 for me..
I found one at the grocery store that I've been trying to find for a while.So that means I'm back to day 1.
Day 7! Im in Poland and have been for the last month. I read 4 out of the 5 books I brought with me and even though I still had more to go I went to the book store and bought 4 books... the zloty here is divided in 3 to equal the dollar. So here I am paying 60 zloty (ouch) but in reality it was $20. Maybe if I don't do the conversions I will stop buying books because I'll feel its in dollars.
Hi Kathy Good to see you back with us. How are you doing in Poland?? And how long are you going to be there?? Huge Hugs, Debi

Except for the 10 lbs I gained. But it's was expected. I'm here for another month but I won't be doing much more traveling so I'll be able to chat and write and read. Hopefully avoid bookstores... But I do have a second suitcase soooo may need to buy some books. The selection isn't as big as it is in the states buuuut still going to buy some polish books and smuggle them back. Could've been a worse addiction right?!? With that said I'm going to sleep and think abt the books I will find tomorrow. TAKE CARE!
