I can binge shop most often when I get "obsessed" with something. For example, I recently couldn't stop thinking about wanting to own some of my childhood favorites that I'd given away for some reason. That led to major binge book buying! <br /><br />LOVE that you kept ordering and canceling. I put stuff in my cart for WEEKS and debate whether or not I want one more book, two fewer books, this reread or that new read.... I could go on!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-20106351152929218122013-06-01T20:37:50.547-04:002013-06-01T20:37:50.547-04:00I've definitely gotten pickier about what I wi...I've definitely gotten pickier about what I will buy! I try to request it from the library if it's a new-to-me author in particular - want to see before I commit! I'm so with you on eating out less if it means more books.

I really should stop doing this, but I do like the idea of giving myself a present for all the hard work I (*cough* sometimes) do. Definitely giving this a try :)Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169574717441851611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-45899876597183913612013-05-02T10:00:05.135-04:002013-05-02T10:00:05.135-04:00Your habit just reminded me of Poppy from The Jell...Your habit just reminded me of Poppy from The Jelly Bean Crisis (by the way, you should totally read it, she rewards herself with jelly beans). But alas, I'm not like that. I can never be or maybe I just haven't tried hard enough. I get a book for myself on my birthday for a few years now and it feels awesome because I usually buy awesome books like TFIOS and Just One Day. *winks*Sanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297915931078500505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-46375014896284626712013-05-02T00:08:41.396-04:002013-05-02T00:08:41.396-04:00This is a great idea!

I go to The Book Barn which is our local AMAZING used book store and I spend hours there and buy SO MANY BOOKS but only spend like $30..which I guess is a lot? But when you are getting 10+ books, THAT AIN'T BAD! I might have to start doing this though, because when it comes to NEW books, I have a serious problem. I had $100 to spend from my birthday in December and um..I just spent it this week. I kept ordering and cancelling things because I WANT THEM ALL but I was trying to decide on the books that I NEEDED to have (all of them, I KNOW!!) so this might be a good plan...it will make me feel better when I have to put a book back ;]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-64846991725931048242013-04-25T09:11:53.573-04:002013-04-25T09:11:53.573-04:00I don't really have a system.

I buy what I want when I want it though I am very picky about what I am willing to buy versus rent (from either the libary or my book subscription service). My husband is a hobby musician and he spends his money on new gear so I justify my book money accordingly. Also, I consider books entertainment expense and figure I will go to dinner or drinks one less time this month and that right there is $50 I can spend on reading :) CeCehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299658923968310492noreply@blogger.com
