Take a deep breath, Poppaea. Stay far away from the computer on July 1st. Remind yourself that you have a pile of unread ebooks already. These new series books will still be there after you've read the books you already have. Take another deep breath. You can get through this. [this is in a more serious tone] *And quit enabling Pooh!* |

If I bought them on someone else's computer, used their CC and paid them back cash or even better make them buy the books for me.. then I technically wouldn't have bought books, or would I?

The first scenario is still a purchase by proxy, the second would be a gift (or extortion, depending on how you manage it).

Your tricks won't work on me, no matter how cute your avatar is. A REAL friend helps you beat your problems and makes you stronger, not enables you to feed your addiction. So yes, I'll be your friend, and no, I won't buy you any books.

I don't need to join your "Ebooks without guilt" club because I don't have any guilt. And poppaea, you're at it again, trying to encourage others to feed your addiction. I'm off to bask in the reflection off my halo, I haven't downloaded anything to my reader in since Friday night. Poppea, maybe you do need to talk to me, kiwis are expert at buying books and making it look like like they didn't. ever heard of geo restrictions? |

Poppaea... get a grip, be honest and say the following, "I don't have a problem, I like books... you can never have too many books, the problem is other people, they're closet book haters!"

Haha, we had a dog like that ... don't know if I mastered the "stronger than cute" thing with him though. Hmm, must ask the hubby, he was always the firm one
