Good luck with school, Bekah!!!! And congrats on being so strong with the NYR.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Pamela, that's a good thing! That's like telling an icecream lover they can only have one lick while they're holding the cone! You did GREAT!!!

[Rose]

I'm starting the countdown now. 2 Weeks until I'm back in an American bookstore...i'm salivating just thinking about it :-)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

***passes Rose a napkin***

Just tryin' to help.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I get to buy a book next Tuesday!!!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Is that your birthday? Are you able to buy for your whole birthday month, or is a new book coming out?

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

new book

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I have a confession. I had every intention of breaking my resolution today. In fact..it could be called premeditated cheating. I knew that I was going to go out to a book store today and buy so I thought..might as well grab another book while I"m there...I got caught up in an author recently and I REALLY want more of her books. So, I actually PRINTED off a list of her books to look for. Thus - premeditated cheating!

And the worst part of this is that my ban is lifted March 1 - 31 just a FEW DAYS AWAY!!

I'm ashamed.

However, my devious plan was thwarted when I discovered that the bookstore had NONE of her books on its shelf!

What a loser!

I'm not going to buy until March 1, and I will stop buying March 31.

I just felt the need to confess my sins. :(

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Bekah, say 25 "I can do this's" and vow to be strong, and you're forgiven.

In fact, I'd have forgiven you anyway, because this isn't an easy resolution by any stretch.

[Tonya]

I want to know what author is sooo good that you were going to break the resolution for.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

She was going to buy Jeannine Frost.

[Tonya]

I thought she was saying she was buying the Frost book anyway because it is a new book in a series she is following. I thought a new author's book was the one that would break the resolution. Oh well, not the first time I was wrong!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, you might be right. I guess I forgot that she was allowed to buy books in a series she's already following, like I am.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Its not easy, but I've found it not too bad. The cravings don't come as much as I thought they would. The crazy gotta buy gotta buy has eased up and that actually feels good. EXCEPT when I want to glom an author's work!

[Autumn]

Ok, please forgive me...but, LMAO!!!!!!! what a jinx!!
i can just picture you getting all sneaky adrenaline pumping and then the bookstore plays the dumb joke! ((huugs)) Well, at least we got our delicious Bones today!! :) !! you`re only a week away! that store better get loaded with more books cus Beckah is in tha house!! :D

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I know! Its just the sentence I deserved for 'premeditated cheating' How bad am I????

[Autumn]

"very bad,and perfectly good at it" ;)

and we love u heaps!

ps: hows the 6th Bone`s book so far?

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

haven't started it yet...debating whether or not i should considering it will keep me up for hours...thinking i may wait till thursday night to start....

[Autumn]

i cant wait to read ur thoughts!! :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

We got our copy from Target this morning. I couldn't get my daughter out of bed but finally I said, "The next Bones book is out today" she was up and dressed in 10 minutes, ready to take me to Target! LOL

[Autumn]

Excellent bribe Dhes!!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Bones does it everytime!!! Gosh he's fine!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thanks. Like I said, I haven't started that series yet, but I wanted to go to Target and that was the best way I could think to get her out of bed! I can't drive myself anymore, so I have to get sneaky!

[Lisa Kay]

UM, LOL.

[Melanie]

How is it I just found this thread, lol???

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, lol (this is since Friday):

Got in Madrid

Then on BD


And on betterworldbooks (I still blame whoever told me about this site, lol! It's amazing!)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I try not to cuss but.

HOLY SHIT!

You are sick. SICK SICK SICK!

And i'm probably the one who told you about betterworld..i LOVE that site.

Ugh...

what is wrong with you? You're like waving your crack around us addicts taunting us.

God I love you!

KEEP BUYING!!

I can live through you...

OMG I hate you...I just noticed the Jill Shalvis glom! I SO WANT TO DO THAT.

What is BD?


I'm so going crazy right now if you couldn't tell from this post.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Melanie.... I'm shocked and appalled! And envious!!

But really, must you taunt poor Bekah? Look what you've done to her!!!

***wail*** -- I aaaam sick!!!

Ok then.. now I can blame you for telling me about BWB, lol... Baaaad bipolar Bekah!

At least you addicts seem to have minimal self-control.. I left mine behind a couple hundred books ago!

I looove Jill Shalvis! I'd been so good this month, and all of a sudden I cracked: 30 min and 60 books
later I feel better, lol..

BD is www.bookdepository.co.uk: new books, decent prices and no shipping:-D I alternatively curse and bless the day I found out about BD, and now it'll be the same with BWB!!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I've only read by her but I loved it so much that I can't wait until midnight 2/28 and THANK GOD there are only 28 days to this month. I am buying any book of hers I can get my hand on!

Any recs that I simply MUST buy by her?

[Melanie]

was absolutely fabulous, and is the reason I'm buying all of those books by her as well!
was so-so,
was unrealistic but very sweet (I like the friends-to-lovers storyline), and was cute but short..

I have and to read at home, and I'm looking forwards to them. It does seem like her newest books are better:-D

So far I don't have anything I feel I must recommend, but I'll let you know when I'm done with DP and SH!

LOL... I'm shocked and appalled myself:-) Now I'm going to have to figure where to put them..

But I just bought three new bookshelves that I set up in my room (no more room for other furniture now, lol).. and I have a couple of the shelves that are still empty, screaming at me "fill us up!!!"

[Lisa Kay]

Don't forget two of my favorites and . I also just finished which was a short, fast, really cute read.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

thanks for the heads up!!! I need some direction for where to go with her!

[Heidi]

Ok this is my first time posting her! Hahaha, But I think its time! I keep buying faster than I can read them! I justify this by saying they are MUCH cheaper than dolls(which I collect, and can cost upwards of 5-6 hundred dollars a piece)...I guess I feel if I don't buy one I know I watt at that moment, I will forget about it!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I think your justifications are valid. I mean thats the same logic I used...

but... then again...

I am an addict.

Lol.. So how does this pact of yours work? no books for the whole year except for one month? two?

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

No books for the whole year unless it's a new release from a series I'm already reading. Like the new Cat and Bones book that came out on Tuesday

AND

I get to buy a limited number of books my birthday month which is March!

I guess the question has to be- are you getting through your to be read pile or is your library card benefitting?

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Yes and no! I'm slowly making it through the mountain, but the library in this little town I live in is tiny! My collection is probably more extensive than theirs. The building is nice though...hmm..if I owned that building..I wouldn't have to curb my spending...

:)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

It's March 1st...I can buy books...but I haven't yet!!!

How great is that???

Its not going to stay that way..but how great that I wasn't up all night buying books???

Just sayin...

:)

[Lisa Kay]

Really great, Bekah!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Great job, Bekah!!! I'm on my way to B&N to pick up a couple books that I can legally buy - parts of a series.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Have fun and enjoy Dhes!!!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]
