It has been 20 days since I put myself on a self-imposed book buying ban and dug out a stack of ten books to read.
I have to admit that, now that I have the stack staring me in the face, I'm really not inclined to actually read the books I picked out. I suppose it is the whole 'being forced' feel to it and I should just shelf them all and pull them out one at a time in random order so they don't look so ... intimidating.
However, I have managed to read two of my ebooks and one from my stack of ten, so that's three books down and a billion more to go (or so it feels like anyway).
I was tempted to buy new books. I went shopping with my mom and found a couple of books that I'd been thinking about reading and they were on sale for $3!!! It was /so/ hard not to walk out of the store with them in my arms *sighs*. But all is not lost! I have a new book in the house; Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson. I did not buy it! I actually won it in a Twitter contest from Chapters/Indigo. So, I suppose I'll make do with that, though I think it may get offended at how often I open the cover to smell that new book scent.
How're your summer reading plans going?
