Anybody want to join me in a 'no buying' challenge? - Page 5

I'm in. The last eBook I bought was....*checks AMZN*

09/07: The Child Thief, The Road
10/03: Gardens of the Moon, Night of Knives, The Warded Man
10/09: Red Wolf Conspiracy, Darkness Forged in Fire
10/10: Song of the Fell Hammer, Canticle, Winterbirth

Of those all...I'm 38% into Canticle and I did manage to finish The Road. It seems I have a small problem. And hopefully I won't be buying anything else anytime soon.

However, I did give myself a $50 gift card to AMZN for an early present. Someone help me with my temptations

And my resolve has collapsed completely. :-(

I've just spent $45.85 on 17 books. An average price of just under $2.70, and a discount from retail ($148.82) of 69%. And they're all lovely books, that I really look forward to reading... in 2012...

Well, I held out from 27th October to 9th December. A total of 44 days! Perhaps I can manage longer in the new year. It would make a good New Year's Resolution.

I caved. Wanted to try books on board for the first time. I bought two books that I couldn't get on the Sony Site. I made it 6 weeks of no buy.
