Though it is so satisfying to cross finished books off my TBR list!<br /><br />Verity -- I'm really trying to cut back, but it is SO HARD. I think I'm addicted.<br /><br />Motheretc -- It does sound heavenly, doesn't it? I dream about being locked in a bookstore or a library. If I had a couch, a good light, and snacks, I'd be fine for a long time.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-53414573625574289362011-02-09T09:20:50.718-05:002011-02-09T09:20:50.718-05:00A hotel with room service and nothing to do but re...A hotel with room service and nothing to do but read sounds like heaven!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-63417459744032336872011-02-09T04:34:58.735-05:002011-02-09T04:34:58.735-05:00That's pretty good progress!

I did have a book buying ban at several times last year, and I did quite well, but this year I am buying books with reckless abandon which is fine as long as I don't let my TBR get too big - it's just about manageable at the moment!verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-48910802069003629072011-02-09T00:37:36.536-05:002011-02-09T00:37:36.536-05:00I have utterly failed at my book buying ban!

I learned that this time too. :)Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863174371731131344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-23673516002273743032011-02-08T18:07:01.852-05:002011-02-08T18:07:01.852-05:00The sale's on Saturday.

I'd rather stick with the official time since it's the same for everyone across the world, adjusted for time zone. It's fun to go by the hours on the Readathon site. :D<br /><br />Seriously, though, San Antonio Blogger Readathon Group sounds awesome!!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-30053390374133285322011-02-08T17:24:08.420-05:002011-02-08T17:24:08.420-05:00Stacy -- doesn't that sound like heaven, havin...Stacy -- doesn't that sound like heaven, having nothing to do but read books, with no distractions? I am seriously thinking about it. I wonder if my family would understand or if they'd feel betrayed and abandoned. . . I wonder if I can justify this as some kind of girl weekend? <br /><br />Amanda -- we should think about this. I'll do a little research on hotel rooms. . . and maybe we should just adjust the Readathon time from noon to noon since we couldn't check in at 7 a.m. anyway. Or something. Let's discuss. And I may join you at the library book sale on Friday!!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-14897523832463578142011-02-08T17:04:50.918-05:002011-02-08T17:04:50.918-05:00btw, I made library sales an exception to my book ...btw, I made library sales an exception to my book buying ban this year.

I hope one day they change the date to the third weekend again instead of the second.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-33186069124058772952011-02-08T17:02:58.227-05:002011-02-08T17:02:58.227-05:00Oh gosh, a hotel room sounds like heaven.

I love that Trollope title...lots of Hs. Don't blame you one bit for only $1. I tried a book-buying ban last year...I was not successful but it was a failure I didn't mind:)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387313238448432017noreply@blogger.com
