Over the next few days, I'll be filling in my reactions/reviews of the books listed below. I have finals on Monday and Tuesday, and I'll be at a conference from Wednesday-Sunday (the 18th), so if all else fails I'll be back around the 19th, diligently filling in the empty spots and hopefully adding more completed books!
So I haven't disappeared...I've just been ridiculously busy. I'm still a bibliophile in remission, and I know the only way I can go back to buying books is to read more! It's been pretty difficult, but I honestly haven't strayed too much from my original goal of not buying any more books until all of the others are completed. On that vein:
- I've sold quite a few more books on Amazon
- To get rid of books that are selling for like $.01 on Amazon, I joined a site called Bookmooch, which allows you to swap books for free with others. So far I've sent out 4 books to happy new owners! I've created a wishlist on that site, so if any of the books I really want become available, I can mooch them from others. But I won't really be using this site to accumulate more, don't worry!
- I did pick up some books at a sale in February. But let me explain: the proceeds went straight to the public library in my city (and I'm ALL FOR supporting local libraries, of course). Also, the only reason I bought some was that the sale was ending, so buyers could fill a plastic bag with books and pay only $3! A friend and I filled the bag with 26 books, and seriously, they were only $3. And NOT all of them were mine. So I think that was an okay digression from the book-buying thing.
Besides that, I've been good about refusing to buy! My to-read pile has diminished somewhat, but I still haven't made a big dent. I guess that means I'll just have to read more. :)
