I’ve sometimes hit a purchasing drought. Usually, it’s because the books I like tend to be published in the first and fourth quarters of the year, although I keep an eye out for those that don’t! It always makes me kind of sad when there’s no book in the mail that Tuesday.
I’m sorry you’re sad. I haven’t bought any books for me since January (I bought some as a gift), but I’m happy about it because I’m trying to read what I own, and use my library more. Hope you find a nice new book soon 🙂
I am laid up from ankle surgery and can’t leave the house. Even though I have a few thousand books I have not yet read, a friend gave me a B and N giftcard. I was so happy when those books came last week!???
I’ve put myself on a book buying ban for the year, since I own over 800 that I haven’t read yet. I’m exempting vacations (already bought some in France), birthday and Christmas (a binge is my traditional gift to myself).
@Heidi I’m interested to see if I can stick with it. I’m basically attempting to not buy anything I don’t need. I’ve reached a place in life where I basically don’t need anything else. Like, my faithful Roomba is going a bit senile, so I justify the cost of replacement. I ran out of mascara and am allowed to replace it. But no more Louboutins or Manolos or new clothes (unless needed for work) or books. 10 more months…
It will pass.
Be Brave.
It will pass.

I hit a buying drought last year for about 5 months it was awful. Last night I had 6 coolers and bought 5 books lol
Hubby buys all my books and he has just bought me Shirley Conrans books.
A couple of days ago I forced myself to steer the car away from the book store. It was rough.
