[Kat]

Ok... First HAPPY DECEMBER.... where has the year gone? I'm back in NYC from my 2 month stint in Poland and didn't bring back too many books (silly weight limits on luggage).

Now its time to job hunt and since I'm living off my savings I am definitely not allowed to blow it on books. But its xmas season and all I wanna do is go into a book store and look through the new additions of the last 2 months.

I've been strong and I found a way out... I have points from credit and debit cards and the rewards program allows you to get books for the points... so its kinda free. YAY! Where there's a will, there's a way! So I ordered 2 books yesterday. So I guess I should count this as Day 1 (sort of).

Also I have a packed to read shelf that I should start making a dent in, but I'm currently reading and this baby is looooong. Its 1008 pages in paperback which I thought would go by fast, but man that print is small! (I am really enjoying it).

So ladies.... resist the temptation this holiday season. (Unless you get a gift card to a bookstore).

GOOD LUCK!!!

[Debi]

Day 21!!! And I am sure Trying not to buy a book Kathy man this is so hard..LOL!!

[Kristi]

I just bought books today. Sigh! But that takes up my allowance, so I'm telling myself I won't buy anymore for the month.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!! If you can't laugh at yourself when you're being silly, who can you laugh at?

[Lisa S]

LOL Kristi

[Trish]

I made it 48 days , and since I am finished with my Christmas shopping (and took a huge box of books in for trade) I rewarded myself today with eight books from the used book store.

[Cammie]

10 days. I hope I can hold off till after Christmas.

[Kat]

3 days! Instead I bought a bath suit to motivate me for the gym. (probably did it backwards... gym then reward with new suit... oh well).

I don't think there's a right way or a wrong way. I think you have to do what works best for you. Besides think of it as a reward for not buying books and a motivation to go to the gym.

Then find something else to reward yourself for the gym, just in this case maybe not a book since you're trying to stay away from buying them. Then again...if it's a reward...no, no I will NOT encourage others to break down!!

[Lisa S]

I just want to say I just got back from shopping and even went to B&N and I DID NOT buy myself a book. How good am I ? LOL

[Lisa S]

I think it has been 17 days. My birthday didn't count because my husband bought them for me. ;)

[Debi]

Day 30!! And Lisa you did really well..smiles. I just don't have any money to spend on books rigth now. Still having problems with the back up computer. So won't be on much..smiles. Love ya all, Debi

[Cammie]

Today is day 16 for me.

[Kim]

It's been six days - last Monday. Our church has an ongoing book sale, so I stopped on my way out from working in the office.

Then, I did get during the week my ebay order from Thanksgiving weekend. Well, I needed one for a challenge, and the other two were on my future reads list for over a year and all were 99cents...you can understand that, right?

[Lisa S]

Kim any excuse is good enough to buy a book. LOL

I agree! ha ha! Of course that may be why we're in a group called bookbuying anonymous. Lol.

[Kim]

really?

[Kristi]

really, what? That any excuse is a good excuse to buy a book? Absolutely!! :-D

[Kat]

Lisa proud of you and saying no to B&N. I went to B&N while waiting to meet a friend on Saturday and in my head picked out 3 books from the "Buy 2 get 3rd free" table. I was about to pick them up and head towards the register till I saw the MASSIVE cashier line. Thank you holiday shoppers for stopping me!
