Good luck with it! <br /><br />Frosy - I have over 100 books on my TBR bookshelf, so I would never be able to read every single one before buying more, haha. <br />That's acutally a good point, I forgot about book series! I may need to tweak the rules a little bit. But then again, maybe not, as most of the books that I read are in a series! <br />Good luck with yours, I hope it's still going well :DAmber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-72200910551309271622011-09-01T03:48:41.638+01:002011-09-01T03:48:41.638+01:00I recently put myself on a book buying ban.

So far it's hasn't been difficult but I STAY AWAY from bookstores. <br />The other day after nearly two months of not buying any books or going to the bookstore, I visited Chapters and even though I said I wouldn't buy a book I did. It was on sale I couldn't help myself.<br />My point if you don't go near bookstores I think you'll do fine. I just stare at the pretty books online :DFrosyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587150459818837244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-64341336612228542192011-08-28T00:23:12.465+01:002011-08-28T00:23:12.465+01:00I went on a book buying ban a couple of months ago...I went on a book buying ban a couple of months ago. Told my mom not to let me even think about walking into a bookstore before I read 15 books that I had on my shelves first. I think I got up to 8 books...then Borders announced that they were going out of business, and well, I couldn't pass up great deals on books that I wanted :D<br />Now my shelves are filled to the brim with books again, so I will be starting another ban soon.<br /><br />Good luck on yours!Just So Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263117231717037961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-24508909047412586512011-08-26T03:54:33.641+01:002011-08-26T03:54:33.641+01:00Thank you Jess!

I just hope that I have enough will power to stick to it! <br /><br /><b>Kara-karina</b> - Thank you! I definitely would love to enter as many giveaways as I can, but I'm going to have to hold back. When you see the size of my TBR pile, you'll understand! ;) <br /><br /><b>Sally</b> - Thanks :D I have no self control at all, this is definitely going to be a challenge. *high five*<br /><br /><b>Becky</b> - Yay for mountainous piles! Haha, will you actually read all of those library books? Whenever I pick books up from the library they hardly ever get read. *headdesk*<br /><br /><b>K.C.</b> - Good luck with your 'challenge' as well then! I try to stick to sales and cheap books, but when you really want something.. Well, you know how hard it is! <br /><br />Amber.Amber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-17942727360848077802011-08-25T18:56:14.996+01:002011-08-25T18:56:14.996+01:00I do have a lot of books in my TBR pile, so I'...I do have a lot of books in my TBR pile, so I'm trying to only buy ones that go on sale.

I'm terrible, I have no self-control and really struggle on a book ban- even though I have so many unread books on my shelf already!Sally@Always Lost in Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855315495596558874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-67556200669414780572011-08-24T16:10:46.374+01:002011-08-24T16:10:46.374+01:00Great idea, and I wish you best of luck with it! I...Great idea, and I wish you best of luck with it! I don't have a ban because as a rule I prefer to exhaust all other options - giveaways, library, book swaps, galleygrabs before actually buying the book *wink* and then buy it as a treat which makes me feel really good. So i'm tricking myself this way :)kara-karina@Nocturnal Book Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262585710463536717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-57824294025195486942011-08-24T15:33:52.809+01:002011-08-24T15:33:52.809+01:00This is a great idea!
