Hey friends!
How are you? How is your summer going?
What is that? <leans closer> How am I doing with the first month of Book Diet? Well, funny you should ask….
Not too bad actually!
I wasn’t as bad as I thought I would be, nor was I as good as I hoped I would be. So overall, while I wasn’t totally successful of only buying one book this month, I still bought less than 5. Score!
Bought:
The Twice Lost by Sarah Porter
Visitation Street by Ivy Pochoda
The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin
After buying those last two books, my friends decided that I needed consequences when I stepped over my one book per month vow.
Therefore:
1. I am not allowed to buy a book in August or September (as The American Heiress and Visitation Street should be counted towards those months)
and
2. If I buy a book, then I also owe my friend Peggster a manicure.
If I buy a second book before October, then I owe my friend Crystal a pedicure.
See? My friends don’t mess around.
And while I wouldn’t mind buying either of my friends these things, I am hoping to keep my book buying diet in place. So here’s to two months of no book buying!
On the plus side, I did read a lot of physical books in July and you’ll be seeing some of those as giveaways in the month of August so stay tuned!
Wish me luck! That’s a loooong time! 🙂
What did you buy this month? Are you on a book buying diet too?
