Blue2u, I have a strong feeling you'll enjoy this one



Wallbanger only wishes it was as well-written as Tangled (IMO, of course )
Ack, you definitely moved this up on my wishlist!

[username no longer in service]: Is it bad that you've been on such a spree that you actually can't find anything you want anymore? Or, at least nothing that is couponable or under your the amount you're willing to spend even with a coupon? I had 2 45% codes and had trouble finding something to use them on Really. I searched my calibre for unfinished series and everything was still too much or not couponable. It's so sad... but never fear, I finally FORCED myself to spend those codes

I'm kind of afraid to look at my amazon recommends or the under $1 section at ereader... these are the impulse buys and knowing how many 10 and 20% codes I still have could put me and my cc over the edge
I was trying to rein in my buying, I did amazingly well [for me!]. The problem is I see something that I think I might like and just add it to my wishlist. So when a sale comes on I then go read reviews, etc to see if it's something I really want to read/buy. I went through basically 50 or more books yesterday and it was hard narrowing it down to which few I wanted to buy! But definitely the few that dropped at Amazon made my life a lot easier.

Had to chuckle at the 'FORCED myself to spend those codes', it's a burden isn't it? I had 3 books that I was on the fence about, but as all 3 were by new authors I decided they'll likely come on sale so just left them on my wishlist. Yes, the $1 section is what tempts me the most, but to curb my spending 1 of my restrictions is that it has to be rated over 4 at goodreads and I take it from there. Of course there's always exceptions to the rule, but this has helped me weed out quite a few impulse buys.
