Down Came a Blackbird
I found this post while I was out checking in on the blogs in my google reader this morning. I’ve decided that I am giving myself a little book “intervention.” I have this problem where I like to buy more books than I get read in a month….so needless to say my TBR pile is looking more like a mountain right now. When I grow myself a “pair” I’ll even take a picture(s) of it and share it/them with you.
So my challenge(s) to myself are as follows:
1. I will read AT LEAST 30 books between now (today) and May 13, 2010. In the next 4 months I will NOT buy a single book. NOTE: I will not spend my own money on books. Books that I win, library books, or receive to review do NOT count.
2. From May 14, 2010 until December 31, 2010 I will challenge myself to only buy a maximum of 50 books in the remaining 8 months of the year. That equals out to about 6 books a month.
Wish me luck…I’m definately going to need it!
You go girl!

You’re practically going cold turkey, aren’t you? On the other hand, it is good sometimes to ‘stop the insanity and read what I already have. Then I can go crazy again with a clearer conscience!
